I work for a major automotive company in their IT UNIX department. It's not a matter of sending support to THEM, it's THEM coming back here and taking our jobs. Out of the 6-700 employees in my building I'd estimate a good 55% are from over 'there'. Not that I'm rasist, nor do I dislike any of them (much), I dislike the fact that they're here on work permits, banking every last penny so they can move back home in 5-8 years and be equivilent of a millionare once back there.
1. The automotive company I work for is not selling any cars to them. 2. The paycheck they collect is stashed and all the money is spent back overseas. 3. They work cheaper and take US jobs.
Not to mention the language barrior I have talking with someone I've worked with for over a year. Thank you Dell. If only a small step, it's a step in the right direction.
Though I understand you're concerns for Windows security, or lack there of, I don't see how you can tell what's going on under the hood by seeing screenshots. Microsoft's team of developers is astronomical. The GUI developers and artists are doing what they do, and I'm guessing that the backend developers are doing their part. Honestly, you can't see much from these screenshots as far as backend goes.
I'm no MS/Windows advocate but I'm just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Who cares? If they're not English speaking, they're not worth our time!! The american way
Yes I'm american, please, only reply if you speak english and eat mcdonalds 3 times a day.
How illegal is it what the Free-X group is trying to do? Microsoft's Xbox is not much different from a Dell Dimension in most respects. The Xbox is a fully packaged PC with an OS built in. So is a Dell that you buy purchased with WindowsXP.
Say I don't like WinXP on my Dell. I remove it, repartition and install linux. I can do that because I OWN the box. I'm entitled to do whatever I want with it.
Now look at the Xbox. The Xbox is a system much like a Dell with windows, the only difference is you can't easily uninstall/repartition... until now. Why is this illegal? I bought my Xbox. I OWN every part of that machine. No where does it say "Property of Microsoft" on my Xbox. Can't I do whatever I want with it? Can't Free-X release any software they want for it, much like 3rd parties can release software of their own?.02

Someone please give me a quad damage so I can unload on our AIX boxes the way I've always dreamed.

And does the world need yet another incompatable video format?
Dual-emission OLED Display That just SOUNDS like cancer. I thought one emission point was enough.

Freecraft was shut down by Blizzard, not the BSA/MPAA/RIAA. Just an FYI.
I'm fairly confident that I have hand gesturing in the car well covered, usually accompanied by some symbols such as @ and $. @^#!%%$ off!
Strange, being a Linux user women are my biggest problem too.
I dont have spare cycles, i have mp3s to encode.
