From the amazing marketing mind of "hookedup" I love how you invented that number clean out of thin air. Could we stick to posts that ummm...have some form of truth behind them. I don't like to read fiction on a webpage for news.
Oh give me a break. Microsoft ripped off it's OS and linux didn't? Ummm...sit down at a unix server sometime and ask yourself, what does this look like? Talk about a direct copy. And by the way, MS DOS, was purchased from someone who couldn't see it's potential. Microsoft is a smart business and if it wasn't for them all we would have is Macs because IBM never would have gotten into the PC market. So you better thank the microsoft gods next time you boot up your new 3Ghz sledgehammer that will hit the market in a few months.
The bee up my butt about OSS is that I never used to hate any OS. I have linux running my router box, and have a Unix server here at work for the CAD people. I have 5 SGIs here at work and I can use them all with no troubles. My problem is that I get online and start reading and everyone tries to make Linux sound like it's some rediculously amazing piece of software that is only held back by some evil plot of Microsoft. Microsoft is a business, whose constant upgrading has pushed the hardware market forward at a rate so fast it's hard to believe. And I read quotes like "With my old linux I can run my 200mhz Pentium 2 and I don't have to upgrade". Why do people think that's a good thing. If microsoft wasn't forcing the consumer to buy new hardware what would be the computer industries reason to develop new hardware? I say if the cost of getting to watch 64 bit 3Ghz processors come out is that I had to turn a paperclip off, then so be it.
I wouldn't hate linux if it's party wagon wasn't so engulfed in itself. A bunch of elitest who feel that because they can use linux they have accomplished some amazing feat and they are beyond all other OS users. Why are so many articles about Linux beating Microsoft, if all you guys care about is making a great OS for yourselves then why do you care if it becomes an industry standard?
The point is that I think Bill Gates is more altruistic then most men in power and he shouldn't be painted so poorly in the public eye. He saw what the industry needed to get started and he gave it to us. Don't tell me about him stealing the first OS, because I don't care, even Linux is "stolen" from a lot of Unix IP.
I guess the point is, Microsoft is never even given a chance when it tries to do something that could be great, because your all to bitter, like ex-girlfriends that can't be happy when their boyfriend gets a new job.
Yes she could upgrade from 2000 to XP you click a button and it does everything. It keeps all your settings and even most of the drivers, but it doesn't need to because 9 out of 10 drivers it already has.
Here's a thought, there won't be a linux house. you idiots. Who is going to pay to design it. Linux is free and you can't pay a carpenter with chips and beer like most linux programmers are paid with.
Leave your house, get a job, get a girlfriend, sell your volvo and get a life, then you won't need to sit around programming your own OS.
There would be a toilet and a shower in a linux house, but you would need to debug the crappy GNU code yourself and hope to recompile your toilet before you have to crap. or everyone would have a different distro of linux and you would never be able to figure out how your friend's toilet works
I am glad microsoft is around and has a lot of money. Otherwise no one would be able to afford to research the fun digital toys of the future. And I am damn glad it isn't a linux driven house, because if you don't have enough pipe to the outside world you can't download the 300MB kernel upgrade and spend the next day waiting for your house to be done compiling it.
The dolphins that show up on a nuclear subs radar. Are as much a threat to that sub as Linux is a threat to Microsoft. Sometimes I notice ants before I step on them as well.
My mom could use windows with no knowledge whatsoever of computers, I bet that would be impossible with linux. Oh and if you want to update XP you click update windows, when was the last time you saw the average user and figured they would be able to recompile a kernel. Give me a break, linux is a server OS,and it's really good at that. Why try and pretend it's something else.
Man slash dot just loves to post stories about linux. Even the stories that don't matter in the slightest, should we post a story everytime microsoft has a meeting to put microsoft on desktops?
Anyhow, of course mandrake and the others want to push it to desktop, but that doesn't mean it will happen.
I hardly even need a comment in here. Atari 2600, I means seriously i thought slashdot claimed to report stuff that matters. Maybe this should be listed in the onion.
the quality of a movie rarely has anything to do with it's first day grossing, hence the fact that no one has seen it yet. The problem is that it wasn't hyped properly, advertisement is the key to a good opening day. Or people today hardly can tell what a good movie is. Look at 25th hour, it's an amazing movie, every critic I have found gives it a great rating, but it hasn't done very well, and a lot of theaters aren't even carrying it.
we can not sacrifice the truth of the law because it suits us to do harm to someone that does "evil", because the definition of evil is so easily changed and you may soon find that people find your practices evil and that you will find yourself behind bars.
By the way, we want them to follow so closely to the law, do you happen to have any MP3s that are of songs you haven't purchased?
Wow I suprised to see how many posts there were to this article, I mean does anyone really care? So their combining, were they so different that this will cause any form of true annoyance?
I would love to see the licence requirements of these Philips/Sony "CD/CompactDisk" logos. Then I will believe what you said, but unlike truth, what you said is merely assumed truth untill you supply us with real facts. Like what CDs have copyrights and this logo, and supply us with the ability to read the license bound by these logos.
I agree with the useless dial up infrastructure, but I do not agree that they will ever colapse, they have plenty of capital to start supplying broadband, like road runner cable and other such broad band ISP services. They will change when they need to.
Ummm maybe you didn't read the article. If you were already not using aol (15$ a month hosting) then your of a different group and not related to this article. This article was about people leaving aol to go broadband. Not about people who already use Dial up to a different service. And why is it important to have unlimited addresses. And if you want unlimited addresses why not go to dyndns.org, buy broadband, and put up your own web and mail server?
How exactly is it fraud, Fraud would imply that somewhere on the label it said "This is a regular CD" or something to that extent, because you assume a CD is a regular CD does not make it fraud if it isn't.
I have workied on borth Windows 2000 and Novell servers. I know of 2 or 3 fortune 500 companies with thousands of users, running Windows 2000 advanced server with every one of their employees in the same domain, running active directory. How is Windows 2000 years behind?
Did you actually read the whole article, that 100 Billion dollar loss, is based on projected profit. They weren't actually 100 Billion dollars in the red. I don't have time to explain it to you, but maybe one day your Statistics teacher will. AOL still has over 25 million registered users, at 25$ a month that's a decent chunk of change.

oops, Sun is on the list right below Johnson controls, but I still argu, you can't use a company that designs spark processors as an argument in this case, that's like saying, well, Redhat uses Linux as their desktop.
wow, that was a stupid thing to say.

>How about at Sun?
were you born this way? First of all, Sun is not a fortune 500 company, moron and second of all, of course they are going to use a flavor of linux to do their desktops, Solaris doesn't speak too well to XP systems.
Well try again if you like, but I fear you are too dumb.
I don't get it, are they surprised? AOL costs 25$ a month. In my area you can get get DSL for 38$ so I don't think it should come as a surprise that people would go for a connection ten times as fast that didn't require the worst designed software on earth for an extra 13$.
AOL has been robbing people for the past 5 years, they kept their prices jacked up because they could and had a corner on the market.But I doubt AOL is really noticing too much of a hurt, because I have noticed idiots who get broadband and still pay for AOL as well. People are dumb and that will keep AOL and MSN in business for a long time.
Find me a fortune 500 company that issues unix or linux as their standard corporate desktop OS.
And yes, I have used Xwindows and also worked on multiple solaris systems. But never seen it corporately implemented to the standard desktop.
