for apple's plan to gain users by getting them hooked in schools, they need to have the computers be better than the PC's everyone has at home.
Before OSX they didnt do that, i just graduated from high school, and until my senior year i hated macs, because i was always using the old crappy ones with old software, then i tried OSX, on a new Imac and am planning on buying a Mac (wont be able to for a while).
Apple is doing this because having schools use pre-OSX Mac OS is bad for apple, because students will all think macs suck if they are stuck using old software.
Another thing, people have to be able to maintain the stuff. How may people in their twenties know how to use stuff from the late seveties and early eighties.
quite obviously at the behest of the PRC (Communist China) government, which doesn't officially recognize the independence of Taiwan.
Actually i don't think any countries officially recognize Taiwan as a independent nation, including the US. So if RedHat is listing Taiwan as part of china is technically correct.
So until Taiwan is recognized as an independent nation it RedHat is correct in its placement of Taiwan
that modding the hardware goes against MS's business model, is only microsoft's problem no one elses. Profit is a reward for doing something well, not some divivne right for businesses,
If MS has a faulty business model that depends on unreasonable and illegal restrictions on ways people use a peice of hard ware that they bought, it is their problem, and they shouldnt rely on the government or courts to fix it for them.
If this sounds like a rant, I dont apologize becasue it is one
Ya but without proper copyright protections what incentive does walt disney, plato or shakespear have to creat more works?
but with copyrights that extented well beyond the lifetime of the creator, what incentive does anyone have to create more "works" when they can use their old work to make insane amounts of money
FYI: Ethanol in labs is "denatured" with methanol to made it so it is too toxic to drink. (We couldn't have highschoolers hangin in the supply room drinking 199 proof now could we?;) )
actually the reason that ethanol is denatured is to avoid the alcohol taxes, which i think consider the concentration.
They already have enough bad press in the tech sector, the last thing they need is bad press in mainstream news channels.
The only problem is that they wont get bad press in the mainstream news channels because the members of the DVD-CCA are the owners of the news channels.
If anything at all comes out it will be how the "evil hacker pirates" are forcing movie producers into poverty, and how the DVD-CCA is standing up for them.
Its also a really pathetic act of civil disobedience, I mean come on I'm just watching a movie. Arresting people for doing this would be absolutely ridiculous.
Actually because being arrested for watching makes it a "good" act of civil disobedience because it is so rediculous.
The stupider the thing you are arrested for under a law the more ridiculous the law looks
I don't like the fact that the PEOPLE of the US are allowing this to happen w/o a fight.
Are you putting up a fight, or are you just flaming away on slashdot.
If you arent part of the solution you're part of the problem

I am a christian, and believe that God created earth, but have considered thers veiws objectivly and made a conscious choice.
But i also beleive in evolution, in that species evolve and adapt to their enviroment over time, punctuated or otherwise.
For me the biggest question in evolution is the first lifeform. I find it hard to believe that chemicals just combined into living cells, even with the intermediate step of proteins.
Also IMHO the story of creation in genesis is an anology, the fossil record could be interpreted, by a creationist anyways, as that God was expirementing with different types of life and decided that the current setup was the best.
yes MS is the only major player on the desktop market, but they will have competition as long as software isnt subscription based, the old versions of their software. They have to make the software at least appear to be worth the upgrade.
IMHO the real reason software is so expensive is that people will pay that much for it.
My guess is they want Linus to write linux for a palladium system so they can send him to jail or sue and end up killing linux
The "code" needed to run Palladium will be released under the BSD license.
It seems to me that the BSD license allows BSD code to be incorporated in a GPL product because the original BSD code is freely availible. This covers any legal problems.
As far as technology goes, the user decides what code to run, Palladium only tells you the code is unsigned and reccommends against running it, but the user still makes the final decision.
As currently explained it will be both legal and technologically possible to run linux on a palladium box. The only question is if you want to.
If bin Laden's goal was to attack the heart of the USA (it's freedoms)
September 11 was not an attack on freedom
Usama (yes it is spelled right) bin ladin does not attack our freedom he attacked us to provoke us into attacking other islamic counries (iraq), increasing the hate, and therefore terrorism in the middle east towards the U.S.
Usama's final goal in all of this is to remove US troops from Saudi Arabia and to destroy isreal to return the three holiest cities to islam, Mecca Medina, and Jerusalem, to islamic control, and eventually form one islamic nation, ofcouse with Usama in control.
9/11 wasnt an attack on freedom it was one man and his followers to gain power by perverting their religon, and if you don't believe me here is a USA today article published before "attack on freedom" became the buzzword for 9/11.
