Predicting that Linux trend will continue to grow doesn't exactly take a genious , does it ?
I mean even windows is continuing to grow ? So what's the point here ?
If linux is replacing the desktop *nix market, albeit very small (solaris, irix etc.) whats the big deal in that ?
How much M$ boxes are being replaced by linux ?
Currently linux and windows on desktop are growing at their own pace, as they don't share a common user base. And what ever common userbase they have , use dual-boot option.
Did you expect anyone who has a considerable investment going on in to linux based products , to move away from linux , just because some one sued IBM ?
And do you expect, anyone not at all interested in linux, just start deployinf linux , just to fcuk with SCO ?
THE BIG RULE OF BUSINESS is
Lawsuits, or no lawsuits, business MUST GO ON...
So please stop this nonsense.
Almost correct,
The script is indeed Bengali, which is the native script of Indian State of West Bengal, and India's neighbouring country Bangladesh.
The indian state + bangladesh , together were known as Bengal before india's independence. The West Bengal part was predominantly hindu , while the bangladesh part being predominantly Muslims
At independence The indian sub continent was split in to two countries India, and Pakistan based on religion. The hindu mejority places formed india while the muslim mejority placed formed Pakistan. Pakistan was geographically located on two opposite sides of india, The current Pakistan being west Pakistan and the current Bangladesh being East Pakistan. West and East being in respect to india
East Pakistanis were always dissatisfied at the treatment they received at the hands of West Pakistan. One Pakistan was dominated by shiya muslims and another was sunni muslims. Thats like catholics and protenstants , but with even more hate for each other.
So East Pakistan went to war with West Pakistan in 1971/72 for their independance. It was never strategically convenient for india to have two pakistans on either side, so india helped east pakistan in the war. Thus was born banglaesh.
Now both west bengal (mostly hindus) and bangladesh (muslims) have bangali as their official script.
May be not in US..but outside world
In india, for e.g. college grad students assemble and sell PCs to make money.This was very common up untill about 2-3 years ago.
But then the prices of assembled PCs and OEM PCs differed by a factor of almost 2x to 2.5x.
As the OEM PCs have gotten cheaper and cheaper, i guess the assembling has decreased.
Plus with assembly what you get is pirated s/w while some ppl. have now started asking for leagal s/w
How will that matter ?
In the true tredition of slashdot, i haven't read the article. But isn't a business albeit a web business legally binding to the laws of the state where it is registered ?
The physical location of the servers should be immeterial, or is it too rational to expect ?
I have never managed to get that thing work.
Nor on Mozilla neither on firebird
And I have tried this on windows, solaris, linux. Using release binaries, nightly builds and even self compiles binaries.
There are a couple of extensions which act as substitue to options window. Like the one you mentioned, one creates a drop down menu item in title bar.
None ofthese affect the options , in my case, i always have to set the options from options window.
One of THE most irretating bug i have found, atleast in the windows version of thunderbird is.
Clicking on a mailto:abcd@xyz.com link doesn't populate the FROM filed with abcd@xyz.com. Go figure.
I have lots of shortcuts on my desktop with destination mailto:someone@somewhare.com, but thunderbird doesn't populate the from field , so irreatating.
I think he wanted to know what to do ?
"To do" as in to perform some act, and not as in to sit on his lazy ass and think. So the appropriate answer would be like
Q:- So what do i do ?
A:- GO jump from the window. (in case you live on the groud floor, then hang yourself)

Leave it to a bunch of nerds to slashdot every useful link in this article.
I'll checkout these whence the slashdot effect has subsided.
