to the mod on crack who moded this as a troll, I was not trolling I was serious, for many reasons this guy should not get into website design:
1.He asked slashdot and that pathetic:-) 2.He is working with his wife and by doing that he is risking a divorce. 3.The web design business is saturated. 4.since he is not a business yet then probably his list of clients are uncle joe and cousin george.
ahh you realized that you are an asshole and that the logo on the site represents a "Z" letter not the four branches of swastika, a symbol is a symbol stupid there is nothing called "lookalike" symbol.
and it is *STILL* free speech so eat your heart out loser, Zundel is entitled to his views just like you are entitled to yours, Shame on you for prosecuting someone for their beliefs, it is ok for a man to question if God exists or not as much as it is ok for a man to question the holocaust as much as it is ok for a man to question if earth is round it is called FREEDOM of SPEECH.
This was going to happen sooner or later, IM was not going to sell if it was introduced with a price tag, first give it away for free, then when it becomes "something you can't live without" they will charge you for it.
like it or not you are using MS servers and maintaing those servers running costs money, and if you are using a third party client you can take out the ads. and that is simply not acceptable. so they secure the client first,next step charge you for access, and I have more bad news for you... expect a similar move by yahoo and AOL.
solution ? the opensource community comes up with with a distrbuted IM system that relies on loosely coupled servers, something like freenet.
for the remaining/.ers reading this post : this is free speech and by no means a nazi propaganda, just because some fucktard thinks that their logo is "swastika-lookalikes" said fucktard should get his/her eyes examined.
I think RH and SUSE offer more value than Oracle or Microsoft per dollar, RH EAS Premium is rock stable with a fine tuned kernel sure you can download and build an exact replica but look at their support and the RH Network, I didnt try SUSE but I think their Enterprise server has value also
Why bother shipping him a feature that he can't use. Instead lower the price (to make it more attractive to the user
The reason its not possible is that its difficult to disable or enable featuers in a fine grained way, especially if you are using Linux, because I can get the latest whizz-patch with zero cost, and IIRC the kernel supports 4Gb out of the box my guess is that the average user will not be using 4Gb either.
The bottom line is (and this more true for Linux) what you pay for is support and testing because we all agree that anyone can build his own enterprise-grade Linux distro (given time).
from the interview...
Look at the whole proactive computing model, where computers will anticipate our needs and sometimes take action on our behalf. That's one.
so I can relax and count on my Opera v40 to post the first post for me?
I really do wonder how this guy offended any moderators.
I honestly used to believe that moderators were supposed to be moderate.
I have the answer, people are fucking with the system, someone creates multiple accounts and posts round the clock, and harvest mod points and screws with his/her foes, it is just pathetic how people spend their times, I have been systematically hit by an "overrated" and "troll" moding for the last month, I just smile when I see this, it makes me feel important that someone will go through all this trouble just to mod me down.
You can do the experiment, but you will need a cheap-o-media try burning at 1x and then at the maximum your CDR drive can handle, and try it on a variety of CD-ROM drives, the odds that the 1x copy will be readable on more drives.
I still have a SONY CDR burned at 1x in 1997 ! and still works just fine. (but useless old software anyway)
Islam was the force that drove Europe out of the dark ages, not only you are agnorant of history but a lowly racist. Muslims were the leading scientific authority while Europe was a gathering of shperds and church ruled, witch hunt anyone?
Should be moded insightful not funny "way to rule a country comprised of dozens of states" when MS was trying to ditch the antitrust suit and the extreme lobbying demonstrated.
"patent describes the taxation of citizens of a huge country." offcourse we all heard of the "Microsoft Tax", and how difficult it is to get a refund on Windows if you dont agree to the EULA.
Statistically speaking 50% of computer users are morons right?
I don't know about you people but I always believed that using a computer requires a certain skill set that is not available to anyone, I mean I have non-tech friends some are doing fine and learning quickly (a natural born geek) while others are truly dumb yet they are smart enough to succeed in their careers, I think the current state of software is responsible for this, because we failed to make software abstract enough to hide the complexity, I never forget the look of people when presented with a mail client configuration dialog.... HORROR !
People are actually afraid to use computers for many reasons among them is that they will look stupid, or that they will ruin the computer if they did something wrong, kinda like the blinking VCR clock syndrome but amplified many times.
Still I think it is a software failure not a user problem, take driving a car as an analogy you can switch to car from a different manufacture and continue driving without re-learning anything, lack of standard user interfaces is another software problem not found in driving because all over the world green means go and red means stop...

I still have a SONY CDR burned at 1x in 1997 ! and still works just fine. (but useless old software anyway)
the speed in which the CDR is burned sometimes it makes a difference, for the highest reliability I think 1x is the best.
dude you need to work on your grammar...
