When they start losing money because of it. I don't see that happening any times soon as long as people are still paying Ben Dover $70.00 fucking dollars for a ticket to see WashedUpBackStabbers in concert. The RIAA has got to be laughing all the way to the bank. This whole "John Doe" lawsuit bullshit is just another source of revenue for them.
SCO, Baystar, RBC, Microsoft, EV1, Laura Dildo - all of them have been paid, hired, pimped or coherced into making some kind of statement to obfuscate the SCO plight as a whole for the past year and a whatever. The latest round with Ken brown and his alleged minix issues are just more of the same "Paid Advertising" bullshit that SCO and their Redmond investor buddies have been purchasing to try and confuse everyone.
>realized how much they lost by people downloading
Bullshit. The problem with that is the artist (group) still makes the usual measly fucking $0.50 an album.
The big losers are the record industry PHBs. The ones throwing the money into the special interest groups and political campaigns to pass laws like the DMCA and this DRM horseshit.
Funny thing is, they are probably installing the DRM shit to get a demographic for marketing purposes, not "spy" on you.
About all you get certified for is that you could cram a whole bunch of random-ass info into your head and remember it long enough to take a test.
I propose a new standard of certifications that is indicative of real world experience:
IFUFIM - I fucked up the router but fixed it myself BROSCD - Boot record on my sparc was fucked so I got in with boot -s cdrom NISSUR - I setup NIS/NIS+ and survived. LDAPSR - I setup LDAP and survived. LUTKAB - Linux used to kick my ass, badly. IWORPA - I would rather be programming in assembly. VIBPUS - I know visual basic but it's for pussies. BUGFET - I know the diff between a bug and a feature.

Think of the possibilites for hosting bachelor/bachelorette parties in that thing. No need for a stripper - just click on the XXX link from the passenger seat.
The performance hit is negligible...

Java Faster Than C++?

Depending on the application. I will gladly trade the write-once-run-almost-anywhere advantage for a little heavier application, within reason. (Sun's "soundtool" java app is a sadistic waste of reason) Not having to support multiple platforms, compilers, Licenses, IDEs, utility applications, etc, etc is a big plus too. Java's inbred sluggishness is not cause to ignore the advantages it offeres in other areas.
I also like the idea of having some competition in the commercial development arena again.
That's cuz many dont know where to find the FM. Check out comp.lang.perl and see how many newbies are educated via egomaniac-with-flamethrower daily. There are indeed many too lazy to read, but you can't assume every newbie KNOWS there is a manual, and where to find it.
It would be wise not to have these on a production server anyway. Although if I was trying to crack a system I would transfer a working binary from somewhere.

who gives a fuck what you like? It doesn't matter to me. I'm glad I HAVE A CHOICE. I'm glad there are people that can find the time to develop kde, twm, fvwm, gnome, afterstep, blackbox, sawfish, (insert your FREE-as-in-your-whining-ass-didn't-pay for-it floss app here.). I'm glad that if I don't like icewm I can switch to xfce. If you dont like $WindowManager fine. But the ungrateful pissing and moaning is over the top. quit bitchin and find something you like or go write something yourself.

I could give a fuck if you think it's "really,really ugly". People buy ipods now simply because it's socially sexy to do so. The fact is, this company is breaking ground with an embedded linux solution for the masses that supports OGG and MP3 - something everyone up here has been pissing and moaning for, ever since the Neuros came out. I say good for them. iRiver is cool for taking this step. We need more companies to do the same.
First Mate Higsby checks his email which appears to be coming from Captain Johnson. All of a sudden the main engines shut down, and the forward flood gates open allowing water to begin filling the Visby. Minutes later, Captain Johnson makes an announcement on the bridge that although the Visby is taking on water like a sponge, they will be switching to manual steering so the crew can select a spot in which to drown.
When you have a choice, that is key. You have a choice between bloatware desktop, or something barely functional like TWM, or find something somewhere in between.
That is what makes Linux so great, and is it's best aspect. YOU are not FORCED to use what WE think is best.

The average WINDOWS machine has 28 spyware programs on it.

I bet the pr0n industry had absolutely nothing to do with this.
Drug dealing goes like this:
- give away a product
- build a dependancy
- begin charging for the product
- introduce new "stronger" product
Q) How is that like anything Microsoft has ever done?
A) Microsoft has never cut their product with corn starch (that we know of).

C) Do you enter your real name and address on subscription websites ?
(If you answer YES, go to question D)
D) Do you ever wonder why telemarketers call you all the time?
(If you answer NO, go to question E)

(If you answer NO go to question F)
F) Meet me for Ice Cream Saturday at the Baskin Robbins on the corner. I'll buy.

Nobody gave a fuck about the RIAA nazis, my AT keyboard didn't have a "Windows" key, and 4 meg of ram made me feel like an old pimp in new shoes.

Of course! Outsourcing for cheaper labor will always be in high demand.
