Ahrem... just because the country barely has 9 million people doesn't mean they have little IP. The cool thing with Sweden is that it has IP where it matters and LOADS of it.
that bad... I mean common... how would our keyboards look today if it actually mimicked all the shortcut keys in all programs? Which will eventually happen with those LCD keyboards with changeable keyboard glyphs.
For someone that knows how to type one usually do NOT look at the keys in any case so "Benj Edwards" is definitely pitching this to get a flame war going.
Anybody using all of the other keyboards in that list should clearly say that the C64 keyboard does not belong in the lineup.
Why should Microsoft bother with old customers when there is much potential for new customers that have no clue about computer? Why should they listen to the "old timers" whining?
As far as I am concerned Microsoft has NEVER made money off of old users of their carp unless the old users don't see that they do provide carp.
One should not whine to Microsoft... because if one does they might get a good idea and implement/fix a security hole/make it better all for free for THEM to make money from.
You need to factor in an entire industry needing to be retooled in that final figure. The cost will stay the same as with gasoline I am quite certain about that no matter how good technology becomes. There is a lot of amortized payment on infrastructure that would need to be payed somehow.
I dunno but I'd rather hire someone that can do design with whatever tools they can. Heck they can do it by hand and then scan it in if they feel more comfortable doing so and meeting various deadlines.
Photoshop, Gimp and other tools are just that TOOLS nothing more nothing less. Knowing the tool does help BUT to impose a specific tool on any artist is a BAD idea. Not only is it in the way of their creativity but also unnecessary.
For instance I know many programmers that are better in VI and Emacs than in Eclipse or NetBeans not to mention VC++.
People should have the option to gravitate towards what THEY feel being the most efficient for THEM and not something imposed by AUTHORITY that usually has no CLUE about the art at HAND.
Well I personally am firmly in the UNIX and UNIX like camp. One could call me a Linux zealot in some sense too BUT I believe that cutting out a license (even if it is a dual one, triple or whatever) is a no-no regardless which one stays.
This entire deal is blown all out of proportions and even if I am rooting for Linux in the long run I still say that cutting out the BSD license from the BSD portion of the code is VERY wrong.
In any event, I do not believe that it would get included into "root kernel" neither for BSD nor Linux because I can guarantee that there are many that would object so loud that the far corners of the universe would rumble.
The books main character... McNihil... wow! where did I get my handle... goes around and sees everything in Noire kind of way.
This device is neither pointless nor useless... one can use it to enhance how people view their environs... want everybody to look like hot models... there you go.... you want everybody to be black... there you go... want everybody to look like whatever you like... there you go.
Reading the pdf from SIS directly it doesn't say that.
It says:
"Motivet till styrelsens beslut är att SIS har information som pekar på att en av deltagarna i arbetsgruppen har deltagit i omröstningen med mer än en röst."
which is saying that: one of the participants have used more than one vote.
Nothing about two or three... more than one. This is the diplomatic way NOT to make it even more blatantly clear that it was Microsoft or is about Microsoft. The part "information som pekar" indicates that they don't have 100% written/audio/video proof and thus this rather "meek" abjection of vote.
Yes STRIPE0, not NAS per se but offline hard drives that aren't on all the time... rotation wise and stuff... modern day tape backup approach but with HD instead... over USB2... and yes hot-rsync works without issues. I need both speed and safety and I am not willing to compromise (OK I could have gone mirrored with 8 disks or even more BUT its cheaper my way.) Regenerating a vmware system... or duplicating depending on what needs to be done need to be very fast... transients and I have a lot of data that is being generated that really don't have to be on a backup system.
With 99% uptime for each hard drive (bad case scenario, it is generally much better) I am still @ 96% uptime (it is way better) and with speed of regeneration and operation I am well ahead of 1+0 and other schemes productivity wise.
300 MByte/s DOES make a huge difference for me but I know that the above is not for everybody. If I had cash to burn I would probably go with some high end stuff with hot-pluggable drives and what not... it's all about risk management.
Yes true that... it was just a fun exercise to use pdftk to concatenate the entire thing and check out the speed and size and if things would still work:-D
But yes a 200+ pages book and VERY graphic intensive one (half vector and other compressed png due to the nature of the material) will cause the size to be large.
Also standards are to make business smooth and whoever is placing a wedge in between companies by their offering that quite possibly doesn't address all issues will gain from that. This approach is VERY parasitic and has nothing to do with capitalism... it is the gain of money by not doing anything.
now if this lifts... how long will it be until someone gives their daughter the name Tilera.
ok ok... is the next one Tilere? Tileri?
titillating isn't it?
ok ok this was an attempt as a joke... a very very dry one at that... I'll just go back to my corner here and muse at the fact that there is someone out there that has called their daughter "Stalina"

"...little IP..."

ABB, Ericsson, Tetra Laval... I could go on.
That you got 5 mod points is insulting.
have balls enough to come to the same conclusion?

God: Holy Me! They are on to it...

Anyhow... I off of the soap box.
Imagine the mileage!
:O
Around earth in 80 days.
To bad if I crash the car though

ok... I am off the soap box now.
we were told that it was not possible to do a VM root kit...
Now that that pdf from both Xen and VMWare read like someone trying hard to sell a product is another thing.
Embrace, Extend ... Extinguish... which leads me to believe Novell is definitely a Microsoft crony.
This is what they do to you!
...running Linux?
Well I personally am firmly in the UNIX and UNIX like camp. One could call me a Linux zealot in some sense too BUT I believe that cutting out a license (even if it is a dual one, triple or whatever) is a no-no regardless which one stays.

You made it that way... you deal with it!

Yeah agree these posters seem to be like a beowulf cluster to me. Ow my karma... my karma is hurting... ow ow ow.

inkscape + home brewed stuff on Linux no less.
And they are SRIPE0 and I am definitely smokin with file stuff.
I am juggling 14 GByte pdf with a breeze (albeit acrobat reader doesn't seem to work with files larger than 4 GByte)
Actually that is EXACTLY what they have.
Legal or not... it is highly unethical.
Also standards are to make business smooth and whoever is placing a wedge in between companies by their offering that quite possibly doesn't address all issues will gain from that. This approach is VERY parasitic and has nothing to do with capitalism... it is the gain of money by not doing anything.
I wholeheartedly agree. My knee jerk reaction was actually to hand in my resignation for anything to do with IT period if the deal goes through.
I for one count my blessings on hard drive up time.
