How do companies get away with this kind of fraud? Is SCOs behavior totally invisible to the financial regulatory bodies? Or are they all being bought?
Yes, I have RTFA, I am awake, "Lindows (MSFreePC.com) is mis-leading the public", wrong!! In Microsofts opinion they are misleading the public, this is not a proven fact. Best RTA again, yourself.
"The main PC makers have held back on releasing Linux desktops only because they're afraid of offending Microsoft"
It saddens the heart to on ponder on the technological advancements that have been missed because of this disgusting behaviour. And what is worse, is that many blindly idolise this company and it's unethical practises. Man the lifeboats or go down with the ship.
This is more than likely a case of dogs not shitting on their own doorstep. Whether or not the perpetrator is in the same country as you, they're probably going to relay through a server in another country, purely because it's less easy to be traced.
"adds dependency checking on Slackware for the first time!"
Well that's going to take all the fun out of it, I'll have to change distros, it just wouldn't be the same if after 2 hours of compiling it doesn't bork. Hell, I'd even pay extra for that, dependency checking is for pussies, with too little time on their hands.
in a presentation in Australia to the Press Club, Scott McNeally stated: "When the anthropologists look back on the 1980s and 1990s and do the archaeological digs, and get their callipers and brooms and microscopes out, they will blame the massive reduction in productivity during the 1980s and 1990s entirely on Microsoft Office."
While this view maybe considered extreme, the author of the article certainly casts some doubt on the usefulness of complex word processing software. But then, I would not call vi particularly intuitive, but it does cut down on pointless formatting decisions that seem to endlessly arise.
Simple arithmetic is all that is necessary here. If I had $10 and you had $10 and you then gave me $1 I'd have $11 and you'd have $9 i.e. I got richer you got poorer. Whilst this doesn't take into account money supply, nor inflation, I'm sure you understand the fundamentals now, and are probably a more deft economist than Milton Friedman, so you can now go and ruin the economy of the european country of your choice.
In SI units (which most civilised counties use) M means mega which is defined as 10^6, i.e. 1000000 , it is only the computer industry that deems K (1000) to equal 1024 which it does not, then extrapolates this to give 1M = 1024 x 1024. This is absolute rubbish, a different system of quantification should be used when referring to binary powers, as the borrowing of those from SI is clearly misleading.
But I don't think people were listening. How often do you have to reboot? New kernel every 6 months or so, I can wait for quality why can't every one else?
No. No. No. No. Whilst I entirely agree with your sentiment, I can foresee gangs of hooded men in black forcing their way into your home or office unbidden, duct taping you to a chair and forcibly installing the latest patch on your machine so you don't get 'the company' fined.

Since when exactly? Does anyone have any dates? Or is this one of those 'hole in the ozone layer' unquantifiables?
"it even includes Windows XP home, which probably makes up about a third of the price"
Actually that is why it is so cheap, people only want Linux pre-installed these days, where have you been?
How the hell is anyone supposed to understand that? Where is your puctuation? Without punctuation its just looks like a mess of jumbled up letters.

It'll bork well before charcoal, excellent news.
Windows In Holywood: Status Report
To use a very bad analogy it's like associating Cornflakes with Cornplasters. PLEASE MOD ME TROLL, MY KARMA IS TOO HIGH TO SUPPORT MY SIG. Thank you.
Seriously, I would welcome a flash protocol, leaving http to hypertext and static images only, oh and one for java applets too.

"mostly irrelevant for me as the localisation to around here is quite new"
I think everyone will be a lot happier when localisation becomes more global.

The Recording Industry Association of America called Sharman's "newfound admiration for the importance of copyright law" ironic and "self-serving."
I must have missunderstood the purpose of copyright, if it isn't self-serving, what is it for?
welcome our new security overlords.

You mean their proclivity to collect the worlds cash is a secondary mission? Wow, Windows must be like the most impregnable fortress ever, and more.

"OSS creates all manner of bad software because ANYONE can code something up and release it."
As we well know, all shareware is subjected to the most stringent of audits by the proprietary software community prior to release.
Unmaintained software........unmaintained.
