I can ignore or read a Microsoft add and I won't melt in anycase.
Personally, I enjoy seeing a Microsoft ad. Why? Because they just paid for something that was completely and utterly wasted. Seriously. Bring it on. Gives me something to laugh at and costs Microsoft money, it doesn't get much better than that.
Bring it on! Seriously, if something isn't making money for a company, what's to lose? The more source we have available, the better off the entire computing industry is...
If your back hurts, they can often help. No doubt. Last time I saw one in person, he had a reflexology "chart" on the door and another subfluxation chart explaining how every ailment in the human body (literally cancer, kidney stones, etc.) were caused by pinched nerves. The term "subfluxation" doesn't appear in any legitimate medical text.
So, yeah, I was a bit harsh (check out the moderation on that comment), but nearly all chiropractors are nothing but quacks. If they're working on a backache, there might be something there. Anything else is pure quackery. Search for "chiropractor quack" in Google for more information.
I've wondered aloud why Microsoft had pulled the rug out from underneath SCO, and now it's obvious. They're going to start using these idiots, and probably others, to spread the same stupid message.
Get used to it, folks, it's not going to get any better anytime soon. That's good news, too, since the credibility of this sort of stuff has been mostly destroyed by Darl's loud mouth.
Yeah, ask the Russians how well that works. Modern military hardware rocks. But weaponry alone doesn't win a war. The Chechans can explain it if you still don't understand.
I'm part of the "militia" according to the guys who wrote the Constitution. Sorry if you don't like it, that's the way it is. Hopefully we'll never have to deal with it, but if the US is invaded, I have the weaponry, and I will fight.
Step #1 - Make sure any of those pesky "militias" authorized by the constitution won't get in the way... check. (They've been sent over seas.)
Somebody's been reading too much ACLU anti-gun-nut propoganda. According to the folks who wrote the second amendment, the "militia" is all able-bodied men, not the national guard.
The difference is that in the end, I'm creating a software product. If I do pure consulting, i.e. something more akin to an advisory function such as a lawyer would do, there's no sales tax. Your example is a good one.
When a tangible good (such as software) is created, sales tax must be paid. Again, what's the difference between buying software from me and software from Wal-Mart, besides the fact that you get to direct development (to an extent) with me?
Here in TN we pay sales tax for custom software. Most likely all states would if they paid any attention; there's very little difference, legally speaking, between someone buying a web site from me and someone going into Wal-Mart and buying MS Office.
And the reason is that you used jpegs. jpegs are for photographs; use gif for images such as this. The text won't end up unreadbly blurry and you'll save tons of disk space/bandwidth.
Okay, people, there are about two clueful people who have posted so far, and about 50 idiots who are yelling "Microsoft is taking money to allow spamming". READ THE ARTICLE. Holy shit.
For those too st00pid to read it, here's your list of clues. Microsoft gets no money, IronPort gets the money.
If you're a legitimate emailer (i.e. you email to people who have asked for email) IronPort takes the $20K up front as a bond. If you spam, you get knocked off the whitelist and they take your $20K.
It's not "pay $20K and spam all you want". It's "put up $20K to say that you won't spam".
As someone else here said, their standards are *very* high. You must have no more than 1 complaint per million emails, which is a very low number. Having run double-opt-in lists myself before, I assure you that cluefucks will complain about something that they signed up for (and confirmed) the day before.
As an ISP, let me say that this is a great program.
And another thing is that, I do not think we can blame Sun for what they've done. Hey, you give your source out?
Quick pop quiz: who makes the most money from Java? Sun, right? Wrong. It's IBM.
Sun sells Java, but IBM sells services around it, and they make a ton of money doing it.
It's difficult to sell the idea, but had Sun completely opened Java and set up a services business around it, they might be farther ahead than they are now. I say "might" because IBM already had a large services business built, etc., but let's face it, they had to start somewhere.
My main problem with Sun is the whole "we're open and you're not" thing, which they started years ago and then segued into a "we're kind of like open source and you're not" when that was the big buzzword. They've always been a proprietary software company and probably always will be. That's fine, that's their gig, I just want them to be honest about it.
The writer is a Filipino. English isn't a second language to him/her, but the style of English is definitely Filipino English (such as we have Australian English, American English, etc.). I'm married to a Filipina, I've been there, they have no problems with the language. The site means what it says.
We've been discussing this on the Philippine LUG list for a week now; consensus is that it's BS.
Now if you want work that is copyrighted by a huge corporation to be in some GPL code - I will leave that up to you.

This makes the assumption that the GPL license originally given for the original code is actually valid. The common point that people make is that Justin Frankel wrote the code while working for AOL, and depending on his contract with AOL, code he writes while working for them (or while in the office?) may be owned by AOL, meaning the license he put on the code may not be valid.
It can be owned by AOL and still GPL'd. The real question is whether Justin Frankel has the organizational standing to make a decision like that. There's no "AOL" to authorize the release of the program; rather, there are people within AOL who have the standing to make such decisions.
I'm assuming that Justin isn't one of them given that it was pulled from their website.
customers can use Microsoft products and services without a license from InterTrust.
Wait, is this saying that Microsoft hasn't indemnified its customers against these sorts of claims? Stupifying. Anyone alerted Didiot? She might want to write an article.
My youngest turns 3 next month, and he's already logging in with a username (his first name) and a password (one letter). I had them set up on XP for some time with no password, just click on the picture. His brother, who is 4 now, started right before he turned 3 and never had a problem logging in that way. He even taught me a few things about XP, like how to easily change the picture by your name.
When I got them started on Linux, they took right to it. They love it because there are so many games. I've got the flash plugin installed so that they can still play the online games at cartoonnetwork.com, looneytunes.com, etc., but they love tuxracer, too.
Little kids have no problems with any of this stuff. But, remember, these boys will sit there for 3 hours just clicking stuff to see what it does. The main problem with adults is lack of patience (or time) and an apprehensiveness about clicking on the unknown.

I wish I could post and moderate in the same thread...
But according to Forbes, IBM has a broader agenda...
Yes. This is because IBM is what we call a "company" which exists to make money. Obviously there's a profit motive. This isn't some dark secret.
I'll say this about the article, though, it's pretty good for a Lyons piece. Looks like he finally was able to dig his head out of his ass.

When did the term "X-Windows" come into play?
About the time the first Windows weenie saw the X-Window System and decided to shorten it to "X-Windows".Chiropractors are generally quacks. No offense, but next time receive something of value.
