this article in a more accurate way. There are customers on this planet so stupid, nieve, willing to part with their cash and hooked on consumerism, they would gladly take a porkin' up their dirt road....... and be happy about it....... all because company (insert any you like) compensated with a better game, game console or whatever.
Yeah that sounds about right.
No, it's not stupid.... doing nothing is stupid. The simple fact remains. No matter what client your using, be it proprietary or some open source variety all the nastiest that can be placed in HTML is simply a hassle to block. Sure you can run things like spamassassin, razor and any number of things but those are just extra things that have to be maintained, updated, etc. The simplest is to dump HTML altogether. I have never been a fan of HTML email because it's a colossal waste of bandwith.
Wadya mean? Postgresql is pretty easy to compile from source and I've had zero problems installing it from RPMs, etc. As for it's documentation I have found it to be very useful. What do you mean by configure anyway? You got your conf files that normally live in/var/lib/pgsql and their annotations are pretty clear. So I think your just blowing smoke.
Sure does seem like it and frankly I have not been able to work my brain around the notion this agreement DOES NOT violate some aspect of GPLv2. And maybe, just maybe that's what Microsoft was REALLY after.... to get Novells right to distribute GPL code revoked. If that were to happen it seems to me it would put a big hurt on Novell. Microsoft is not known, nor has it been known NOT to stab a company in the back or setup a chain of events that in the long run damages or distroys it's competitor.
Um, well if that is really an issue with NASA I'd have to say they have some under performing programmers or the ones they outsource with. I know the article talks about the shuttle and a complected piece of machinery it is. But all the satellites circling over head don't seem to have this "problem". Maybe NASA should hire those programmers.
Big flaw there Harvard boys. Linux doesn't use "formal economic modelling" techniques, whatever the hell that is. I'd suggest Harvard get together with the "MIT deep divers" SCO used, I'm sure they would be helpful.
Ha hahaha. Didn't take them long to MAKE THAT move did it? I was wondering just how long it would take for the price of this "$100" laptop to go up. Well, you all can believe all the wondrous, beneficial (supposedly), helpful, "it's a great teaching, learning assest" hype surrounding this "teaching tool". But what everyone failed to realize it was just a marketing gimmick.
So basically, this is pure masturbation. Yeah your exactly right.
Seems to me it dishonors the spirit of the GPL.
In any event. So what now? Someone gets a hard on against "pick your religon" or "pick your style of government" or "I don't like x political party" and and inserts a similar clause? This whole idea is asinine. So I have to ask these guys if they're so against violating human rights and war certainly does that, why did they not add China to their "ban list"?
While police believe Gannon had violated state wiretap laws, Hefferan wrote in a statement announcing his decision, police and prosecutors concluded the case wasn't strong enough to bother prosecuting.
And this is different from a business doing the samething and the police asking for their video tape? How exactly? That's what I thought it is not. It's the guys private property... end of story. The police department should be sued for false arrest and harassment at the least.
But here is the real kicker -
Police had charged that Gannon violated state wiretap laws by recording officers without their knowledge while they were standing on his front porch
I think they do not even want to go down that road of reasoning.
AOL is like a dumb animal that has not realized it's head has been cut off and still prances around. AOL has ALWAYS sucked, they HAD their day in the sum and should just lay down and die.
That's where most here against more cores are falling over themselves pontificating one thing or another why they arn't needed. Do I need a 64 bit AMD with 2G of DDR400 RAM on a desktop? Probably not BUT I GOT ONE ANYWAY. And if I had the coins and 8 cores were available, I WOULD HAVE ONE OF THOSE.
That's what Intel says. But their tribe falls in the same categories as, you don't need more than X amount of RAM, don't need hard drives bigger than 50G, don't need RAM running at 500MHz or faster, don't need "fill in the blank".
But I guess we do need 3/4 G processors and dual cores to boot.
Which is why I have not played a video game for 3 years or more. There are only so many ways you can kill an alien, make gobs of tanks and over run your enemy, lurk under the waves looking for fat cargo carriers to sink, fly bombing/raid/dogfight missions, steal a car and shag a hooker, kill a cop, kill your enemies/mate over the Internet and on and on. If it wasn't for the huge advances in eye candy, there would be very very little to distinguish game play of all video games over the past 10 years.
Making me pay to join an on line gaming sever is not the answer when the game is no better than off-line. While playing against a real person on the other end can be entertaining, it for sure is not worth the fees charged.
And then there is the sequel because they haven't yet sucked out enough money on some hit game is not the answer.
What the gaming industry is experiencing is no more and no less the same as that of the video media. There is so much drivel and mind bogglingly inane stuff on the tube you can tell it was only created just to fill time. But then, that always happens when big business get involved.
It is a risk to your customers and a risk to your business,

To my knowledge there is no law requiring a PC be sold with an OS. This notion is purely a Microsoft threat. Again Microsoft has zero basis to make this threat. The only thing they might have going is some agreement with an OEM stupid enough to sign such agreement. So for those OEMs who have been wise enough not to sign their business over to uncle Billy, keep on trunkin' and tell Microsoft to shove it where the sun don't shine.
This um, warning from Billy sounds much like something a mobster, gangster and other low life's would try and do.
Your point about running as local administrator is quite correct. It is a stupid thing to do no matter what operating system your using. However as has been demonstrated over and over there are still gaping holes in Windows via IE, Outlook, etc that do not require a person to be logged in as administrator for a machine to become infected with a wide range of nasties.
Your point about Microsoft allowing a user to run as administrator is really, really off the mark.
If as you say Vista will prevent a user doing this overlooks an even bigger security issue. That issue being the user now has no or lesser control over their PC. That is a terrible mistake no matter what the best intentions are. Removing the burden of responsibility from it's lowest level is always the wrong approach because it further promotes additional acts of irresponsibility.
In the end a fair portion of the blame belongs to uninformed users. However that does not resolve Microsoft of their responsibility.

Well I was all set to say YIPPI till I read it will be laden with DRM snot. NO thanks shit heads.

This is just another reason why anything dealing with software activation, DRM and it's ilk is a colossal waste of time and money.

LOL, good one. That should perk up the ears of the oil industry. It's not like any of them are short of cash atm. Let them subsidize it.
Apple will snarl and bite yet another hand. Anyone that thinks Apple is consumer friendly is an idiot.

What the hell would Forbes know about AJAX. I've not RTFA but would not be the least surprised if they confused it with a cleaning powder.

No geek credit for sure.

That might be true in the Windows world but there are many apps in the open source world that have already been converted to the 64bit environment.

another race of humans we can go to war over, enslave in one fashion or another and generally just not get along with. What a stupid idea.
