  1. About the name slashdot on Morse Code Migrating To The Net · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just turn the slash (in the slashdot name) about 70 degrees clockwise and you get dashdot. Or then again , you can turn the dash about 70 degrees counter-clockwise an the morse is turned slash. The for wxample S.O.S would look like ...///... And slashdot woud be dashdot (i.e -. instead of /. ) Who will register dashdot.org (for Morse code enabled site)?

  2. Even worse... on META Predicts Linux Software From Microsoft in 2004 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    META Group is reporting that Microsoft will begin selling Linux software in 2004.
    What if they make their own distro that has some "secret" programs to exchange information between M$ LinuZ and Micro$soft (without user having any idea of) as in "normal Windows OS".
    When they have a distro of their own, they can sell it with their own prize etc.
    All corporations etc. that uses M$ OS and Unix are forced to change their Unix OS to M$ LinuZ (when they accept another critical Service Pack with a slightly modified EULA).
    Think about that!

    Another thing. When some people were calculating TCO between M$ and Linux, have they calculated how much M$ products have already cost to companies allready?

  3. Re:I somewhat believe it... on Win2k Cheaper than Linux · · Score: 1

    But keep in mind the fact that as time will go on, more and more IT persons have become familiar with Linux.
    That is the point.
    After 5 to 10 years, most of IT people will be so familiar with linux that it will be cheaper/easier to support.

    btw. "More IT profesionals are trained to know Windows and deal with Windows."
    Have anyone calculated how much did this cost?
    is it included in TCO?
    How much have you paid because of Microsoft and how much because of Linux?
