I work for an american company that has exports to the far east. Our translations into japanese and chinese should give the customers a good laugh, that is until they realize that we don't offer customer support to asia.
I "fell asleep" last night. And in that sleep I was visited by three ghosts of linux. Well to make a long good story short and not as good, they told me that if i didn't change my ways and always use linux for everything then tiny Tim Torvolds would DIE.
That and 2.6 would be released on September 21, 2003.
I don't see how anyone could consider what the judge is legally correct, morally correct perhaps. Legally, he is obligated to follow the orders his superiors, regardless of the circumstance. Apparently he believes that he is following a higher, but still secular, law. But Secular law doesn't work that way. Their isn't a higher law that must be obeyed reagrdless of what a supperior orders. This is no different then someone refusing to hire a black man because he only counts as 3/5 of a person in the constitution.
They have 64 bit editions for itaniuum, and are developing ones for opetron/clawhammer. Plus the embedded editions of ce, xp embedded, smartphone, ce with telephony, ect.
Sorry, but it is. Its falvoured with oil of somethign bad smeeling that starts with a b. In any case it is flavoured tea, and not a real honest to goodness pure cup of tea. English breakfast is 1000% better. Personally,I prefer the teas of ceylon.
It removes all legal responsibility from microsoft. One could also argue that the sendmail vunrabilites were "Shoddy codding". I plan on asking my superiors if they want to waste millions of dollars to try to prove that I can't read and have a limited grasp of the legal system.

Did violence exist before doom?
Was our society less corrupt before doom?
Does simulating an sinful act constitute a sinful act? If so then does playing the part of a murderer in a play constitute a sin, or does it depend on your intentions?
Will a bible study reading app bring me closer to God? If so, Why? Do I need guidence in interpreting or studdying the bible? If I do, why wouldn't I find a book from a the group thats been studing the bible the longest?
Think about that for a while and get back to me.
No, Then it wouldn't be automoatic. If microsoft owns the software and users just have permission to run it, then by the eula they could leagally do this now. Actually, I think it would be a really good idea for critical updates for microsofts software and microsoft's software only. Many times the driver updates they have on windows update for mycomputer are not the correct ones. I would be very upset if those were automatic.
There is so much more to life than video games. So many worth while things to do. Its sort of sad that people are getting so tied up in virtual worlds that they ignore the things that trully matter.
And remeber, I'm not a troll. I'm just a vertically challenged homeless person that just so happens to live underneath a bridge.
Without your help I would be left wondering: "What operating systems does this Microsoft company make? Do they make the Lunix?"
Wha!?! The creater of my favorite Basic interpreter has moved into the buisness of operating systems?!? Or is this "microsoft" different than the Micro-Soft we all know and love. Maybe they would be interested in creating a new Operating system to work my company's responce to the Apple II. If only there was a way to license it from them without getting exclusive rights. But How? Maybe if I invented a death clock of some sort.....
I didn't mean this to become a "flame war". I just wanted to point out that percentage of total revenue is a better figure to look at then the gross amount. There is no way that anyone running a typical webstore will have more revenue comming in from users of mozilla than ie, even if mozilla users spend more on average.
And Remeber, Apple's customers are more wealthy and educated than dells or microsofts, but does apple make as much money? There is more to buisness than accounting. PS. I'm a mozilla firebird user. Haven't spent a dime yet today!
Every user of a Mozilla spends $150 per month over the Internet for goods and services
Okay, lets play the "expert" game. Your figure seems high but lets accept it anyways. As a middle of the road company, I have a 5% market share of a sector that accounts for 5% of all internet revenue. Thats 1.5 million a month thats a great deal of money I agree. Now, if I can earn that much from mozilla users, how much do I earn off of those who do not use mozilla? If there are 4 million mozilla users and IE has 95 % of the market place then there are 76 million Ie users. From those users I earn a total of 28.5 million dollars. You would obviously lose 5% of revenue if you did not support mozilla. But only if those users of mozilla were not willing to use ie to access your site. What percentage of users will refuse to use your site because it requires Ie? Its less than five percent. Can you afford to lose up to 5% of your potential revenue? That is the question that faces companies. Not the fixed amout you quote. Actually to do this professionally you would also have to take into account the likelyhood of a user being a user of an alternative browser. If you only deal with large corperations, most likely it will only be ie.
Ipv6 is good. So is oatmeal. I think we need to give it a new sexier name to motivate public support. Something like Hyper global inter slice.
Or possibly Internet 2: The wrath of Cisco
Any company which refuses the millions of Mozilla users is no company of mine.
Well, ThinkGeek "refuses" the buisness of the non geek by not offering non geek apparel. Pork producers "refuse" the buisness of everyone who does not eat pork by not offering beef or chicken.
Makers of XBox, Playstation2 and Game cube games "refuse" the business of the millions of people who still have an atari 2600.
In order to interpret the article I must rely on my core views.
I have only three rules I live by:
1) Never trust someone elses' conclusions.
2) Never tell anyone everything you know.
They have "stolen" things from OSS. But its not illegal. The Bsd Licences allows comercial use of the code without making the code that uses it open. And that in my opinion is true freedom.
Bill gates has repeadetly stated that the point of all of microsofts patents was to prevent another company from suing them. He really views patents as a deffensive mechanisim rather than offensive (as in the case of SCO). Microsoft is making enough money selling products, they don't need to extort money from the OSS community.

Please be windows, please be windows... Can anyone say buffer overflow exploit?
Then when cop pulls me over. Officer, I couldn't have been speeding, just check the moniter. I'm sure it will say I was obeying all trafic laws.
Yeah. As a serious java developer, I would have to agree. Its a shame because I also enjoy the bsd operating system.
You'd think that Sun would be mor eproactive in porting it to various platforms. WIth freebsd it was almost as if they were trying to prevent it.

For anyone wondering why interference due to power line broadband is considered a bad thing, well, there ya go."
Yeah, that interference was a real pain in the butt during the Blackout.

We are THE SUPERPOWER. Brittish English is so, 18th century. Lorries, Lifts, Bonnets?!? Thats so gay. As in
Q:Is he Gay?
A: No , he's just really Brittish.
I'm not really trying to post flaimbait, but Brittan in the center of anti-Cool. Except for scottland. Scottland rules.
On fark.com this would be rated "obvious".
