The DaimlerChrysler and AutoZone cases have nothing to do with LINUX. Those cases are about those companies taking the SCO library and running that library on another OS (which just happens to be linux). The two cases are over a possible breech of contract and not about linux directly. (I do think this is part of an anti-linux campaign, but legally it has nothing to do with linux directly.)

Some people here must watch King of the Hill. Hank (the main character) Is a dedicated/obsessed propane salesman. He has propane everything. He lives propane.
One night he goes to his bosses house for dinner (the owner of the propane store) and the boss has an electric stove. Linus is a lot like Hanks boss. He uses what works for him, because it works, but because of some unnatural connection to a belief.
this gives companies who use exchange (The enemy) to start using Evolution (The ally) which can also use Novell's (presumably) better cheaper product (The Goal).
I like C++ a lot more for learning theory. Data structures and algorithms and what not. I'm working on a project now with Java though and I love it for actual development. Easy to read API plus everything is already done, no lower level networking or serial interfacing.
I learned C++ first and I found it easy to learn. Then I learned java, and i find it similar. The only difference that might be hard to grasp is the difference pointers and references have between the two. Just look up a website listing the differences and you'll be set for C++
This is incorrect. Ion Propulsion is only good for micro-gravity / zero-gravity travel. As it only adds small amounts of energy to the craft built up over a long period of time to reach fast speeds. This method of propulsion is impossible to use (as it is currently implemented) for flights from the surface of the earth into outer-space.
Not only that, but Skynet sent back Arnold to kill John's mother. WHen Arnold was destroyed, his parts were used to build skynet... So skynet HAD to send back Arnold to see it's on creation.
Because CNN Doesn't cover a car accident for seven weeks straight. Anyone remember TWA flight 800? Of course you do, it was all over the news for longer than it should have been.
Aircrashes attracted attention while car accidents attract negative attention (I bet you get annoyed when a car accident delays your commute.)
How about long console load times? When i turned on a playstation i have to sit and watch a sony playstation graphicfor an annoyingly noticable amount of time, as well as on the playstation 2. Why do they need an ad on a playstation for a playstation?
Why can't the console just boot the damn game? I have to wait for the game to load, repeatedly, at least sony's next system should not make me wait before I have to wait some more.
I wish people bothered to actually learn what Wasabi is. Winamp3 used Wasabi to showcase the technology. It is a scripting language that can do anything (IE: be an mp3 player.) Winamp5 incorporates Wasabi, but it does not run on it. (Winamp5 is ACTUALLY the next version of Winamp2, with parts from Winamp3, hence 2+3=5)
I'm not saying I don't agree with you, but a lot of the linux advances are very slow and uneventful... I'd put 2.6 on the same level as the longhorn release, except the months in open development kinda of killed the the excitement and surprise of new features that Microsoft benefits from when releasing something like win95 or longhorn.
The reason intel's 64 bit system follows AMD's is because amd set the standard by releasing their chip first.. It's much better that intel is following amd's system instead of creating their own as it makes software developer's lives easy
(oh and you forgot to mention that Microsoft FORCED intel to follow AMD's 64 bit implmentation by only releasing ONE version of WindowsXp 64 bit edition.
I'd also like to tag on that fewer cosmonauts have died on missions to space than have American astronauts. Please don't just assume that because it is Russian it is dangerous.
I have to agree. I'm 18, and I'm an American. I just recently ate at a good restraunt. High class crap (damn near backrupted me) anyway, the first course was ONE piece of salmon on a couple small plants of some kind. Could have easily eaten the entire thing in one bite. I took two, and they were possibly the best two bites i'd had in my life until then.
Standard American food is... crap.
Moral is, quality does count for something, and i've been way to used to quantity my entire life.
I also saw the lockups while playing it. The solution is simple. Eject the disc and put it back in and the game will continue to function without a problem.
A real problem I found though that isn't talked about enough in reviews is the shoddy casting system. You have two buttons to cast spells with, and you HAVE to use those two buttons (There is no casting directly from the spell book) So if you have 2 defensive spells you want on as well as your two attack spells ( If you play a mage for example) You have to continually rebind the passive spells to Circle or Triangle, cast them, rebind the attack spells, and repeat 30 seconds later when the defensive spell runs out.
The game requires you to push SIX times on the controller to cast one defensive spell. I wish they could somehow release a patch to allow casting from the spell book.
Honestly, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I have a business similar to what you do, and sometimes the best solution is to not do anything at all. If windows works use it. There are some things that linux is nice for, and some things windows is nice for. There is no reason to be idealogical about choosing what to deploy.
I have a deck built out of plasitc composite. You can clean it with a hose, it doesn't lose it's color, and bugs won't eat it. I love it. Big upgrade over my old deck that lasted 8 years before it had to be replaced.
That makes my life hard. When I buy a car (I'm sure this has been used before) I want a stero in it already. I want it to have tires, I want it to have windshield wipers. I want oil in the engine.
When I buy a car I want it to be functional, when I buy an OS I want it to be functional. When I install XP on someone's computer, it is going to be a pain to have an additional CD to fill in the Missing components, plus my time.
Normally, the XP install finished, the machine works, my mother is happy. Now i'll have to spend another hour installing a media player (and making sure it has the proper file associations and codecs) and installing a browser, and eventually will I have to install a mail client? A text editor?

I do. I see microsoft branching from software and developing a fleet of spaceships capable of faster than light travel.

...this is a joke, right? Seriously, if the patent office is given out patents for naturally growing TREES, something is wrong.

This method of propulsion is impossible to use (as it is currently implemented) for flights from the surface of the earth into outer-space.
No, they could have called it USB 2.0 FULL SPEED. Not high speed. High speed IS 480mbps, full speed is 12mbps or something
I'd imagine intelligence agencies would have a lot mroe than 100 machines working on cracking the US military plans...
Not only that, but Skynet sent back Arnold to kill John's mother. WHen Arnold was destroyed, his parts were used to build skynet... So skynet HAD to send back Arnold to see it's on creation.
When i first saw that story I always thought Coors should counter sue the mother for not properly teaching her son responsibilty as well as slander.
And yes, I actually believe Coor should sue her. It might teach parents everywhere to start taking responsibility for their own children.

Definitely mod parent up. The service he links to is wonderful.

Just to point out to other Americans, this is soccer
I'm pretty attached to my testicles. But if it is for the good of humanity, i guess i could stand a little seperation from them.
