1. People start company with no expectations of grandeur, just want to have a job 2. PROFIT!!!, when the public discovers computers 3. LOSS!!!, when the investors realize only so many computers and so much software can be bought 4. The company stays together, fufilling the original dream of having a job.
Most open source coders just write for the sense of community, the bragging rights, and the ability to put it on their resume. Unfortunately, this leads to the building of integral applications for a platform, and the building of concept applications for a platform, but there is no building of "in-between" applications, such as games and media servers.
What open source needs to do: 1. stop focusing on programming the new hot stuff, focus on the stuff you missed in between text-editing and a 3D GUI. 2. look up the keywords of a SourceForge project you want to start on SourceForge before you start it. If there's another similar project, just missing features from your idea, work on that instead. 3. make things easy to use. have your uncle come over and try to work your program. observe what gives him trouble, fix it.
One last final point: Open source was doomed from the beginning. Yes, it's a blanket statement that sounds ridiculous. Keep reading. Open source is based on the very principles of communism: everyone works on it, everyone owns it. The very thing that led to the collapse of Communism leads to the inability of open source to become popular: workers then tend to migrate quickly, and not work hard, since they can't gain anything from working on one thing hard. So, projects die as they become less "hot" to work on. People ignore the basic fundamentals required (a decent media server), and instead work on a 3D GUI for X. God knows how you'll fix this problem. Call me if you do, that way I can start my own perfect county based on Communism.
Many people in space is dangerous. These "low cost" space aircraft all emite waste, and the people on board do too. This waste leads to spacecraft getting punctured, even destroyed, such as in the case of the Columbia, and eventually to numerous deaths. These craft also idealize visiting space, which is actually a dangerous proposition, considering recent deaths.
Your privacy deserves to be gone if you commit an illegal act. The only reason Verizon is withholding the names is so all their subscribers. don't migrate to other services in order to prevent from being caught. I don't see anyone here crying about the Enron CEO being placed under house arrest with a tracking bracelet, violating his privacy, but of course it's perfectly OK to steal music from artists. Don't even bother replying that the analogy is incorrect, both people stole.
The customers can't tell the difference between the multiple applications being worked on by Linux developers. They can tell that Windows 2003 has all they need, with an easy point and click interface, without semi-redundant applications. The Comp-Sci department at my college desperately wanted to run our server off Linux, but after we installed it there was just too many choices.23 web servers: OK, I can handle that. Apache. 4 media servers, none of which support Quicktime, 3 of which support low-res Real only: unusable. Very little XML support, which is important because our document retrival system is based upon it. Very buggy when uploading to Windows clients, which is very important because all of our computers run Windows, since Linux is so easy to screw up and there's no applications for imaging or like Norton's GoBack.

All those releases were dated for late 1999. The Children's Protection Act wasn't in place until 2001. Whoever submitted this article sure went to a lot of trouble to make Amazon look hypocritical.
I understand how an experienced system administrator feels about a how-to book such as this, but as a college professor I have a hard time convincing students to follow their dreams due to mean-spirited teasing such as this. Please cease this in order to create a better environment for readers.
...is that processors actually have a limit to how much they can be cooled. To be cooling it below zero is a ridiculous waste of power, money, and will only shorten the lifespan of your CPU.

I can't belive this! Openly disobeying the law on a public website! And you people wonder why the law won't deal with you.
I hope to God my local department doesn't take this up, if it does, I'll sue immediately.

What happened to apple?
That T-seal was manufactured under the strictest of environments following guidelines!
Or was it...
UPS' Foundation contributed to a MS cause
also, Linex drivers for GRPS are very buggy still.
It's also an easy way to pick up an insanely hot woman!

It doesn't run Gator, just shows you an example of how spyware can get to you.
They have spyware monitoring your activity? Illegal, thank you.
Security should always win, but it never does.

Whatever you do, don't buy from HSN. They have no return policy, nor do they have a warranty.

No one really uses Unix anymore, and Windows is 95% of all computers. Of course Linux will gain more share from Windows than Unix.
...is that processors actually have a limit to how much they can be cooled. To be cooling it below zero is a ridiculous waste of power, money, and will only shorten the lifespan of your CPU.
...misuses of the Google API could lead to them not allowing open access to it anymore, which would deny access to useful tools to proper users.
My experience with vegetable oil is that it fries in heat...how the hell does this work?
