That seems a little generous. Not much information on what makes it special either, or why someone would want to switch to that OS over any other. From the screenshot, it looks a lot like KDE.

I wouldn't get too worried just yet. It's worth mentioning that there are conflicting reports. TriangleTechJournal, an RTP area publication, reports the move as a "joint venture" as opposed to the outright sale the Times has reported.

You do, of course, realize you can get a replacement CMOS battery for like $5, and the "onboard" NIC in your T20 is actually a replacable miniPCI card, yes?
Seriously. It's under one of the panels on the under side. Which one, you ask? The one your memory isn't under.
Ha! How about that. I was in K1 from Fall 1999 to Spring of 2001. Crazy place. And I was a blue badge too, which makes things much, much worse;)

If the S**** F*** you're talking about is the S**** F*** I'm thinking of, I use to work at the Corporate HQ in B**********, I******* (hey, this is fun!). I almost cancelled my c** i******** p***** when I saw what went on inside those buildings.
Oh, the stories...
And yet, still, virtually every time a slashdotter posts a link to a book it's an amazon.com link.
Look, if you're so outraged by Bezos and his stupid fucking patents, STOP SHOPPING AMAZON and STOP ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO DO SO. Might I recommend bn.com or, God forbid, get off your ass and drive to your local Mom and Pop bookstore? The latter is almost certainly more deserving of your loyalty than is Amazon.
Gates: More has been invested in making IE secure than any browser on the planet by a long shot. Nothing is going to change.
Actually, I agree with him here. The way I read it, though, is that they'll continually dump money in to making IE secure with little or no success. Meanwhile, OSS browsers, like Firefox, will continue to provide a more secure browsing experience while spending significantly less money to do so. Therefore, nothing will change. Just cos you're dumping lots of money in to making something happen doesn't mean it's happening.
That picture has been photoshopped so much, she almost looks fake.
At any rate, I personally think Oakleys are over rated and over priced. Get a pair of Rudy Projects and a decent MP3 player for the same price and have better sunglasses and better mp3 player.
I think his answer to the question "Where do you see IBM fitting into the competitive picture?" (Page 3) says a lot about how Microsoft views and treats strategic alliances versus the rest of the world.
Just unreal. It sounds like he's basically saying that IBM, Novell and RedHat will start stabbing each other in the back, and fuck over customers in the process, pretty much for the sake of stabbing each other in the back.
In the real world, strategic alliances exist because you realize that by co-branding or working with another company, you can make more money, grow market share and benefit customers.
Congratulations, you just demonstrated more knowledge of the American political system than the majority of Americans[1] have. As a whole, we're kind of pathetic.
... I already paid for their product - I am a customer - I do not need to be inundated with more sales from them for something that I am already paying for.
Man, I couldn't agree more. This is also why I get pissed about all the subscription cards I have to yank out of the magazines that came to me in the mail because I'm already a frigging subscriber!!
Yes they do. As of this release/Windows Update 5, in fact. The size, as is pointed out a few posts down, is cos this is the administrative edition which contains everything. You won't need everything unless you're running a vanilla XP install that hasn't had SP 1 or a single hotfix installed.

Dude, I couldn't agree more. I have no desire to play games online.
That's my fave. This was actually the default SSID on one of IBM's early accesspoints.

Or was it a rope in the study? Damn, I'll have to check my cards...

How many times is IBM gonna sell their PC business to that company??

Good point. I hadn't tried it that way. Thanks!
"All Existing Browsers" indeed...
Certainly explains the "Ask Slashdot" story below this one on the front page, eh?

Apparently, that's not how it works at Microsoft.
Whew! Thank God. I thought it was just my scannés stations.

An appropriate price, I think, given what they're smoking over at SCO.
