Because that music is still better than 99.9999% of the music released in the thirty years prior. Thats sort of like asking why a 67 caddy is more expensive used today then when it was first sold.
My Coworker was talking ala tech support to a guy in New york (State). All of a sudden our product stopped working, then he said his lights went out and everyones in town. He blamed our hardware. I just laughed at him in the background as my coworker tried explaining that it was all of the eastern seaboard.
Mac will *NEVER* grow its marketshare. It is what it is, and aint getting any bigger. Linux on the other hand, is seemingly poised for a significant boost in market share. So it could very well overcome mac in just a couple of years. PLus, there is a Mac version of MS office. On linux, they don't have to compete with that 1000 pound gorilla.
In highschool pascal class, we were supposed to use the last intial, middle and first. I knew a guy name Glen Allen Fleener or as he was known in class....FAG.
Well, I imagine that Walmart or microtel is paying Sun for each version, or perhaps they have a voluem licence. I think Sun is being paid in one form or another. Walmart is very good at undercutting everyone. If there is enough money to be made, they will enter the market. Right now they are probely just using lycris, Lindows, and sun to gage the market and find all of the pitfalls with out spending their own money.
By your logic, Because walmart always wins ( and believe me I agree 100%), ANY PRODUCT they sell will defeat their competing products. Ok, Walmart sells coke, therefore Walmart will crush pepsi. Walmart also sells Pepsi, therefore Walmart will crush Coke.
So who wins? Sams Choice Cola.
Walmart likes to help its vendors... at first. They worked exclusively with Tide to see if they could reducce their operating costs. Great, Tide now operated more efficently as a compnay. Then Walmart introduced Great Value Liquid Clothes detergent (compare with Tide!). Walmart might be working with Sun, but noting that they are essentially just selling a free OS, Its just a mater of time before Walmart introduces the even lower cost Great Value Linux. It will happen, believe you me.
I think its funny that here at slashdot the center of advocasy for open software, that 95% of the discussion here is using Excel to mean spreadsheet. Talk about subtle bias! Apparently OO isn't good enough, or it isn't popular enough even amoungst slashdotters. Perhaps, its a mistake to give such generic names to the components of OO. Now if it was something like firecalc or pheonixview then I think it would be discussed more. Instead, Now when you talk about an individual component you have to use the suite's name( IE OpenOffice Calc). No one says Micorsoft Office System Excel 2004. They just call it excell, a techno sounding name that doesn't provide any clue as to its use.
It snot that apple doesn't create good products, its that they really don't do anything original. Hear me out. As you said, Itunes sorts your libray into various catagories. Musicmatch had done that for years. All of the iprograms are not new ideas, just ideas that apple popularised by including them in the os.Then when they are in the OS they are hailed as being "Insanely great". They're not insanely great, just good. The marketing is so over the top,t hat their is a certian percentage of people such as myself that have to point out all of the non insanely good things about them. I guess. The company is called a cult for a reason. I think that a certain percentage of their users have built their own self worth into the company, that to say an apple product is just ok , or just "good" would be like saying that they are mediocre themselves. Apple is just a company, they make good prodcuts and bad ones.
Bullshit. We dould have never used QDOS for anything. It was the product of a small Seatle software company that had no such dreams of grandur. It never would have been used on a mass scale.
There are two ways to view mircosoft. There is the traditinal Slashdot Micro$oft is evil and sucks opinion, and my view that Microsoft is evil and is really cool. Think about it. The mobsters in The Godfather movies, and the Sopranos are evil, but they don't suck. Admit it, you Love playing GTA Vice City. Its not always easy being so evil. You have to admit Microsoft does a very good job ( at being very evil) and in my book that makes them the coolest company in the world.
They've really turned around the compnay in a really short amount of time. I mean Netware as a product was sort of dying out and they sold most of Unix (or the brooklyn bridge, its hard to tell). I thought they would just fade off into the sunset, or linger like a rotting corpse as a shell of its former glorious self( See Borland). Those executives should get a nobel prize in business. Wait, they don't give a nobel prize for buisness. I guess their huge salaries and bonuses will have to be enough. But, seriously they did a really good job.
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola
All of his reasons are trivial. They do not prove or even attempt to support a position. 103 words simply isn't enough. The devil is always in the details.
Everything you say is true. However, when you combine the also rans, their marketshare for portible media players is GREATER than apples. SO they are creating a format that the MAJORITY of players CAN play.
Netscape the browser is dead. Mozilla was spun off into Mozilla foundation, seperate non for profit entity. Netscape is now just the budget ISP that AOL offers.
Come on, Nintendo did need gameboy. They make more off of gameboy then they do off of gamecube. If you think they would have survived without gameboy, your smoking something fierce.
because people will prefer free software. The trend is obvious.
Fact 1: There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Fact 2: Water is for all intensive purposes free for Americans. How much money was made in the last year selling int at $1 per half liter?
Fact 3: There is no Fact 3. This Fact makes no sense, just like the rest of this post. So when you think about what you have read remember, there is no Fact 3.
What about the ones that do not completely burn up in the atmoshpere? Does anyone know how large those started off as? Every now and then you hear about a meteor hitting someones house and putting a hole in the roof. I'm just wondering if those are these 100 ft objects that make it through somehow, or are they larger and more rare than these.

We could just invert the logic so it doesn't show anything except the naughty bits.
Because "you'd have to be linsane to use it". or conversely " briniging sanitiy to linux" That was my suggustion.

I've never heard Mcnelly speak without bashing microsoft. ... Is it even possible?

She's too obvious. Now a contest between liv tyler and George bush.... Thats got more of a dilema.
I think that was the premise for a very bad scifi movie recently.

What you say could very well be correct, but they also invested money in Novell. That indicates a closer relationship than any other linux vendor.

I don't want MPEG-4. It sucks. Lost the codec war showdown they posted about on slashdot. Sounds like it sucks.
