My Lords, can the Minister think of a name for the enormous amount of unsolicited ordinary mail we receive?
Just because the so called "Ordinary" mail, doesn't contain what these lordies call as profanity , doesn't mean it is not SPAM.
IT IS STILL SPAM.
My spam filter blocks "enlargement" as well as "have you found jebus yet ?"
Firstly what made you think that he was a nice guy ? Did you dream that he was a nice guy ? Or did he tell you so ?
Your first assumption itself must have been based on the positive reviews he got from meida, especially during the spiderman time.
You made the first mistake of beliving what media says and gossip media at that.
Now you are reading someother article, which claims otherwise than your first assumption, and you quickly change sides and brand him as a millionaire prick. how convenient.
I don't care what kind of a person he is, or for that matter ever spuerstar is. I am not going to base my opinion of a person based on what the "media" thinks about him.
I hope for your sake you are kidding.
You are talking of two totally different kinds of lockdown features.
Windows lockdown is locking the customer to one perticular vendor (windows in this case), and forcing them to upgrade and pay more and more money every year.
The KDE 3.2 lockdown features are for locking certain aspects of KDE from the users by administrators. Typical application would be kikos where you want multiple users to use the applications but not change the configurations.

Homer : "Eight!".
Lisa: "That was a rhetorical question!"
Homer: "Oh. Then, Seven!"
Lisa: "Do you even know what 'rhetorical' means?"
Homer: "Do I know what 'rhetorical' means?"
from the article "I not only use it for class assignments but for personal use as well."
OK lets speak in percentages here for a while. Whats the work-personal use percentage ration 10-90 ?
Does anyone know what platform they host their servers on ?
Some review said they sold about 4 tunes ever sec. and abt 275000 tunes in 18 hrs. If an average tune is about 5MB, that's a lot of bandwidth.
How long can the network sustan this kind of load ?
Do all the music tunes download from same location or is it a distributed network ?
What's an average/min/max download speed you get ?
It integrats with xmms, noatun. Can build playlists, extendable via plug-ins.
And Did i mention, extremly fast and accurate search engine. This is the feature that's most imp. to me. Just start tying in the search window, and it does an incremental search.
I guess one of their "ultra-intrusive" ads , poped up when they were pre-viewing their site in IE.
Can some one transalte what that line means in plain simple english. or heck even mandarin, i donno mandarin, but i bet i'll be able to make more sence out of the mandarin version than the current one.
But , Seriously do you see Oracle/DB2 etc customers suddenly jumping over this ?
My view is that it may be difficult to migrate OSes or even hardware, but its almost darm impossible to migrate existing Databases.
A Database is the most fundamental and most cared about aspect of a major business. There is a lot of time and effort and MONEY spent to incorporate it in to the company.
Lots and lots of critical business applications are written using the propritory extenstions of these vendors. Is it very easy to migrate this code ?
May be interesting for a future pilot project, but if expect business to change their database vendors.. that's not going to happen very soon.

Yeah, and with programs with demoic names like mozilla.
No wait that was godzilla....arrrgh time for a coffee break.

Well, I stop visiting any site with pop-ups, and that reduces the traffic. Hence traffic management.

Windows users (i.e. 95 %) continue to download stuff from kazaa.
Is this the shortest slashdot article ever ? At least the sortest linux article ?

I raise a toast to that..
Most security breachings occur from within. May be a over curious geek looking for holes in the network, or a disgruntled employee.
These are the one's that you should concentrate on first. Its a simple 80-20 ratio thing.
Its no point building up the strongest bastion, when you have traitors within.
