A big problem with Micro$oft's crap is that it makes those using it look bad, beyond mere embarrasement. I switched my father over to Linux several months ago, and he has never looked back.
For just pennies a day you can have pennies a day, and be hypocritically called a cheap bastard by all of/. for admitting it.
I think private donatinos would be better attained by selling cool t-shirts and such. I'd buy some Debian ones; I have nearly every cool one in ThinkGeek stock.
Did anyone bother to write a Linux DVD player for unencrypted videos? What's the point of writing a player if it won't get you arrested and exiled to a Turkish MPAA prison?
j/k, I assume that the files are just unencrypted mpegs found after mounting the disc?
First we had solid solder, cool. Then we had rosin-core solder for electronics, cooler. Then we had tabs of solder that could be melted with a lighter, lame. Now we have a toaster that can be used to solder, which is theoreticaly cool but realistically lame.
Wouldn't this paste have a higher resistance than the solder we know and love? Couln't a soldering iron be used to heat it with greater efficiency? Does it have any use outside of SMD?
Maybe I'm just weird, but I won't part with my soldering iron any time soon. SMD may be cool, but it doesn't have the "cobbled togethor" look of a traditionally etched and soldered circuit.
While I was learning that this type of article is a writing technique known as "situational irony" I could've been coding.
Just out of curiosity, is Micro$oft required to release the source of MS-DOS 1.0 when/if the copyright expires, or does just the binary form become public domain? The source is copyright too, no?
I've been programming for half my life (since I was 8 y/o) in one language or another, and I'm planning on graduating highschool a full year early. I have experience administrating a multi-user server with users ranging from clueless website admins to fellow developers. I also have experience in automotive mechanics and electronics.
1. How much will a graduate/undergraduate degree affect my eventual wages as a programmer?
2. If I got an electrical engineering degree instead of a computer science degree, would I be able to make more as an embedded technology developer? In the automotive industry?
3. Is college much better than highschool course-wise?
4. Will running various website such as this, that, and the other one help me with admissions? With scholarships?
5. If you woke up and it was X many years ago, would you redo college and grad school, or just go on to a career?
Being a "yankee" I can speak normal English, but having moved to TN I can see a desperate need for a Southern translation of Linux or Winshit.
Basically, just use "hallfar" instead of "error", "gimme sum dam dip" instead of "insert disc 1," and so forth. I'd translate it myself, but a true linguist would be needed for a proper translation.
therefore I'm not spending $400+ on one of those damn things. $2.7 million should've been enough to buy every student on, and be a boon to the pawn shop industry.
1. Either command emulates the filename problems of DOS 1.0 or they problems still exist at some level in the system. Can anyone enlighten me as to which is correct?
2. What part of a job would "require" Windows? I installed Linux at my summer job (Java programming for a local company) with no complaints from my boss. Especially when I showed that I developed 4-10 times as fast in Linux. I used OpenOffice/Abiword/KOffice/etc to view those damn word/powerpoint files that happened to get in my way without trouble. Even though I left winshit in case it became necessary, it never was.
3. If Linux didn't kick so much ass it wouldn't have so many zealots. The same goes for Apple.
1. I often hear that sports pay for themselves. Why the hell can't "your" football team pay for its own damn stadium?
2. I'm testing out of English 11 and 12 to graduate a full year early!
3. I'm looking at U.C. Berkeley, though I could be swayed to another school for some serious scholarship money.
4. My books are in fairly-decent condition, but we don't even have warm water in "Automotive Mechanics: Suspension and Steering", the most technical class my school offers.
5. As a minor, I don't have to wait for the count-down. Except for those ten days when they'll be minors and I won't be.
6. This is a much better explanation for why your school sucks. So many animated gifs of bouncy things stolen from geocities.
7. My school's site uses my DNS server on my domain. I'll make a snow-day or two my last week of school.
A signature is usually creative, and designed to be memorable. A name is any one of a finite number of character/digit sequences.
Are you more likely to remember someone as "Anne" or "Pregnant Teen Girl"? "Joe" or "Spiky Head Dude"? "SHEENmaster" or "Pimps His Latest Website Guy"?
I hadn't realized it, but your right. Anyone stupid enough to run it will just be overwriting a sack of crap.
(I am a full-time Linux user because winshit2k fucked up its own partition table and lost a year's worth of source code. I've never been back to the dark side.)
My school blew nearly $3 million on redesigning my graduating class's ring. My high school. For a graduating class of less than 600 students. My public high school.
$1 million for a not-so-special piece of software for a major law school seems much less moronic now.

I have been boycotting any and all flash since I switched over to my Apple iBook for primary use.
Is it really so hard for them to recompile to PowerPC? I've tried the offbrand players, and they all seem to lock my browser up on certain files.
(And no I will not reboot to OS 9/X or use MacOnLinux just to watch a damn flash movie!)

then some kind former M$ employee would surely post it to a public ftp server or gnutella.

Playing BOFH is fun!
but do I remove my tv tuner card for it?
How would this be implimented into unix? Would there be a device to stream to and a replacement for the gzip command and compression libraries?

how to reformat a hard drive partition from this.
a few "warning" labels that could be attached?
I sure as hell hope no one ran that in Demo Linux on their grandmother's computer. That would suck.

I suppose this is for the best, our connection would crap with a lot less than
