If you read the Gartner report you will see that it doesn't refer to any sources at all.
At one point it says "Munich hasn't yet disclosed the business case behind its decision." and at another "The business case assumes that many applications will not migrate to Linux".
Note that the source of the business case is carefully omitted and it doesn't refer to Munich's business case as that hasn't been released. I read it at referring to Gartner's own ASSUMED business case.
The article is just another imaginary pro-MS Gartner report. Move along folks...
If you are using Red Hat, it's easy, quick and even legal (how many times do you get all three?) to create an RPM containing the MS corefonts. http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/.
So when can we expect invasions of all countries with WMDs (US, UK, Israel, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Cuba, France and about twenty more - http://www.fas.org/irp/threat/wmd_state.htm)?
The problem here in Australia is that Telstra owns all the 'final last mile' connections on the phone network as well as owning one of two cable networks.
Even if you get ADSL off someone else you still have to pay Telstra a line rental (to have the phone line) and then your ADSL provider pays Telstra another fee to deliver ADSL to you over their line.
Think absolute bastard monopolist and you'll get the idea.
Firstly in most countries of the world, light beer == beer with reduced alcohol.
Secondly, calories aren't a measure of how full you will get from something. Check out the difference between eating the same number of calories via a chocolate bar and the same number of calories via lettuce.
Try Internode - they don't automatically slow you down when you go over your limit. They prioritise your speed according to other traffic at time. Things don't tend to slow down much even during busy times until you get well over 10GB per month.
This argument has been repeated over and over again. I don't deny that bandwidth costs money but if Telstra can profitably offer 3GB for around $70 including any service charges, how the hell can they justify charing $140 per excess GB?
Shipping one double-sided disk instead of two single-sided disks would also prevent people selling / giving / lending one disk while keeping the other.
I work at one of the Australian universities that is being taken to court by the recording industry, and I can assure you that my university is fighting tooth and nail to not turn over any records without being ordered to.
I'm not sure about the other two, and I'll leave you to guess which one I work at.
My experience working at one of Apple Australia's largest customers (a major university) is that the products are announced so far ahead of availability that there is no question of seeing any stock before an announcment (obviously the US market might be different).
Any Apple employees I speak to (and some I know quite well as they worked for the university before heading to Apple) will never spill an information they might have.
SMB, also known as Samba, is a file sharing protocol developed originaly (sic) by Microsoft.
Saying SMB is also known as Samba is like saying HTTP is also known as Apache. SMB is a protocol while Samba is an open source product that uses that protocol.
George Bush had nothing to do with oil? Are you kidding?
Have you heard of Arbusto, Harken and Spectrum 7? Bush Jnr has done exceptionally well out of the oil industry, and largely due to his political connections and borderline inside trading rather than his skill.
It's a pity that governments and ISO don't seem to have been able to get together to develop an international standard for word processing and spreadsheet formats for official business. That might create a more level playing field and encourage a bit more real innovation in the user interface.
The German government IS doing this and it may well spread EU wide.
I am in Australia where the cost of broadband connections is usually far higher than the US. I run a couple of websites using 512 SDSL with 5 static IPs for AUD$160 per month. The service is through Internode and has been very reliable.
The US press is strangely silent on this issue. Perhaps they're puppets of the Bush Regime. So enlighten me. Can you name one person executed in the US under the age of 18 in the past fifty years?
The USA has executed nine juvenile offenders since 1990, half the known world total in the same period. The other nine executions were carried out in five countries -- Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Over 70 prisoners remain on death row in the USA for crimes committed when they were 16 or 17 years old.
Maybe you should be asking why the US press is so quiet. Most of the results a quick Google search turned up are from Australian sites.
My reading of those two articles is that the term "Aspirin" is a registered trademark in eighty countries, excluding the winners of WWI, USA, UK and France.

Under Linux it's /etc/hosts
Under Windows 2000 it's c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Because it's not free and open source?

I have two issues with the previous comment -

Secondly, calories aren't a measure of how full you will get from something. Check out the difference between eating the same number of calories via a chocolate bar and the same number of calories via lettuce.
I'm off to the game (Australia V England in Melbourne) next weekend. Then we'll see who's doing well! ;-)

I don't know, maybe he was named "Darlene" before the SC operation?
Known as SCO for short...
I hope that you don't include John Ashcroft in your list of more extreme Republicans who take privacy seriously...
Maybe it should be - Dude, where's my girlfriend?

On June 22, 1990, George Jr. sold two-thirds of his Harken stock for $848,560-a cool 200 percent profit. The move was well timed. One week after Junior sold his stock, Harken announced a $23.2 million loss in quarterly earnings and Harken stock dropped sharply, losing 60 percent of its value over the next six months. On August 2, 1990, Iraqi troops moved into Kuwait and 541,000 U.S. forces were deployed to the Gulf.
The US imports the majority of is oil from South America?
Wrong.
The US only imports oil from one South America country (Venezuela - http://www.ott.doe.gov/facts/archives/fotw246.shtm l) and it certainly doesn't import anywhere near a majority of oil from there.
It's a pity that governments and ISO don't seem to have been able to get together to develop an international standard for word processing and spreadsheet formats for official business. That might create a more level playing field and encourage a bit more real innovation in the user interface.
