Fuck you again ! whoever modded that as flamebait. Buggers.
I dont care about my karma anymore. I guess this victimization is the way the trolls are created.
If it has any chance to compete with windows, they should consider Redhat's strategy of allowing a free download (especially for home users) and charging for support. Right now, there is no chance to try it out without paying 80 bucks.
could this be because the strong dollar ? The people are having to work a lot to stay competitive with the international markets and some more to balance the exchange rate of the dollar. Unless the dollar weakens i dont see this trend changing.
I was laid off four months ago from a software development firm with 170 others working with me. In those four months - i had only 2 interviews (with one leading to an offer very recently) & i consider myself lucky to have had those because many of my collegues are yet to get their first call.
The four month period was a interesting experience & here are some things i learned/did in that time: 1. Remind yourself "often" that it is not your fault. Economy is bad and nothing stays that way forever.
2. Network: I created a simple discussion forum on my server (http://www.toastforums.com/) and asked all my 170 peers to register. It turned out to be very useful in discussing subjects like - how to get our unemployment benefits & severence packages/Over Time pay from our old firm. Many of them started posting job opportunities too as soon as they found themselves in a job.
3. Actively prepare towards something : How about a certification that those recruiters so much like ? Or simply read tech forums and keep updated on any new thing on your subject that shows up. This gave me an artificial feeling of getting somewhere which was very useful to keep my hopes floating.
4. Apply to every ridiculous job on the web, even to those recruiters with fake job descriptions. This could seem like a futile effort with many not even drawing a "hi there, i got you email response". But, again - its one of those exercises that help in keeping a healthy hope alive.
why continue on a product that doesnt bring any cash? The only reason they had a version for mac earlier could have been to support an argument that "they are not killing off the competition" and actually supporting apple by releasing free IE browsers.
Have you seen the Animatrix DVD ?
There is one part there, where the humans try to give a machine a chance to chose for itself, by introducing it into the matrix, to support the humans. *That* concept is what will play a major role in the 3rd part. Neo is a machine that has chosen to fight for humans.
I plan to pull up this comment after seeing the revolutions:) Let it be here safe till then.
the reasoning sounds paranoid. If this is about snooping around user's PC - they can already do that with their windows update. Hell, most of us running XP must have set up the Dynamic update utility that connects to microsoft everyday.
It could be more to do with blocking generic viruses that arrive by emails - one step in the proactive direction rather than patching the system after abuse.
I doubt they would bundle this with their OS though because of the legal implications.
Dont trust your employees. Most of them are good, but all it takes are a few nasty ones to come back and bite your ass.
Not to sound like i condone their act, but lets face it every company must be using a few unlicensed software unless ofcourse they are running entirely on open source software. Say you were running a medium sized company and you have a 210 licenses & recently hired 10 new employees , are you going to immediately purchase the license for the 10 others - NO maybe when you get the next budget approval but not immediately.
There are ways to go about this without flagrantly handing over licenses to the employees.
1. Imaging for any upgrades : Ask your employees to backup their personal files on the network & take their disk for imaging. With lot of stuff coming preinstalled on the pc, the employee would hardly take the time to look at what is licensed where. 2. Have a highly trustworthy IT department that does the installations for the staff. This way employees see only the installed APP and not what went into the installation.
I have respect for this guy Jason Glassberg, Foundstone's former software-consulting guru. From the article, this is what he had to say about the litigation: "This is bullshit,We will regret the day we became a litigious company. You realize you have zero support from the rest of the company on this action, don't you?"
Wonder why he got fired for saying that. Why sue when you know that you are not entirely perfect !?
does that mean that there could be beyond the length bredth and height ? maybe thats where stuff like ghosts come from. they are walking all over the fourth dimension as we hang around in the third browsing in slashdot ignoring strange noises in background. wait i just heard something..
If this is seen to work in Newham, it has the potential to be a significant project, changing the perceptions of other councils," said Tim Dawes, director of local government technology consultants Nineveh.
did anyone else notice how much of a resource this thing takes up - I moment i logged off, the fans on my laptop shut down.
Also, the concept is cool and all but instead of using the patent pending algorithm to find out that guys living in Sweden were the closest to me (in Canada) They could have simply used the location that people enter. I wonder how long it will be before AOL or MSN come up with a plugin that can do all that this application can.
Slashdot is complete today as a news service for nerds! I suggest next interview with pamela anderson & natalie portman on EFF, Filesharing and MPAA pls.

you own copyrights to your body for around 25 years. after that it becomes public domain.
erm , does sleeping count as stretching ? the only exercise i get involves a lot of wrist usage too.

anything with a boss in the name has a you know, pointy haired, pricky feeling to it. They had to leave.
Here are the faces behind those names in the article.
wouldnt Marc Fleury got these developers under an NDA agreement by which they wouldnt be able to work on a similar project for a different company ?
Sounds like a nice good legal brawl brewing up.
Download jboss before it is too late !
I was thinking to myself that this probably won't help me any, since I have a pirated copy of XP
Dude , i suggest you remove the URL to your website. It is not that difficult to find your address.
did anyone else notice how much of a resource this thing takes up - I moment i logged off, the fans on my laptop shut down.

This thing could also use a friends list.

Slashdot is complete today as a news service for nerds!
I suggest next interview with pamela anderson & natalie portman on EFF, Filesharing and MPAA pls.
