or a very densely populated Indiana. South Korea is the same approximate size as Indiana but has an estimated 48 million people (CIA's WorldBook)compaired to Indiana's 6 million (stats.indiana.edu).
I'm guessing trillions, so heck, why not? double the defecit, but get free broadband...
One step closer to the Dummification of the I.T. Field. Still waiting for the Cisco Virtual Private Networking for Dummies, myself. The sad thing is then and only then maybe my company will get their stuff working properly.
Screw EVD's. Why don't they just call 'em BVD's and be done with it? No one will want their new Beta Video Discs...

One Million in cash, Eight Million in stock...
How much longer will the eight million in SCOX be worth more than the one milly in cash? SCO is actually paying for their lawyers with a diminishing asset. Brilliant! Most folks pay attorneys all they can cash, and finance the rest. SCO is paying all they can cash, and then substituting a commodity for the remainder, Over time this stock will drop in value (SCO knows this) and the eight million will be five million, or two, or half or none.
William! Move your head!
Look at the size of that boy's head!
I'm not kidding, that's like an orange on a toothpick!
Well, that's a huge noggin!
That's a virtual planetoid! Has its own weather system!
Head! Move!
Move that melon of yours and get the paper if you can!
Haulin' that gargantuan cranium about!
I'm not kidding, that boy's head's like Sputnik!
Spherical, but quick pointy in parts.
Well, that was off sides, wasn't it?
He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight on his *huge* pillow!
that, my friend, is wonderful. i've yet not experienced the mac. if that's the case, you're right. i would suggest that aple does this to truly get more out of every ounce of hardware, as it is in it's best interest to do so. it is their hardware, so they want to be sure it is optimized.
ms, on the other hand, deals with everyone elses hardware, so their code must bloat to include the constantly increasing number of PC hardware venders, and their increasing number of devices.
1. un-install ms word - you've just reduced your chances of being infected by foughly 50%
2. add favorite antivirus software of your choice add another 30-35% of protection.

the OS is more complex, but machines have evolved as the OS'es have.
if you were to try to run Win XP on the same machine you ran 3.1 on, you're right, XP is slower. however, with a few moderate upgrades every once in a while (ram), and new systems every 2.5-3 years, you can keep up with the joneses. my p4 1.8GHz w/ 512MB of ram running XP Pro is quicker than my 866MHz w/ 512 MB of RAM running NT.
ms is taking advantage of faster hardware and increased hard disc capacity by allowing their OS to grow bigger and more complex. i know this may be a nusince for the beginner, or intermediate user, but i upgrade every so often because i choose so, not for the benefit of the maker of my OS.
MS OS's get better, for the most part. If you're a home user 95 was better than 3.1 Hands down. 98 was better than 95. ME was better than 98 (marginally). XP Home was worlds better than ME.
in the corporate or advanced user world, nt was fine, for a while, and 2000 was a godsend. XP Pro was nifty, but not much of a 2000 upgrade, decent, worth it, but not a lot of headway. 2003 Server is good. fast, functional, and powerful.
whether you're an apple fan, linux, unix, bsd, whatever, you don't have to like MS to acknowledge that their product is improving.
Plenty of folks complaining or pointing the finger that Red Hat will be pulling the plug on RH9 this spring. In my opinion there's even more reason to go buy this book, if you plan on sticking w/ RH9. Why not have a 900 page bible on the OS you plan on sticking with? I know I know, gentoo gentoo gentoo, but in the meantime us newbies can contniue using RH and at least have one decent source to turn to.
i work for a telemarketing company.
i'm not a telemarketer, i'm a systems administrator, everyone loves the Do Not Call List, but if my company goes out of business, i'll lose my job.
that's the thing about working for a company that does something that annoys a large number of people (banner ads, spam, telemarketing, etc) as people get fed up with your annoying business practices, they create software, or block lists, or do not call lists to keep you from annoying them. (i'm currently trying to figure out how to convince congress to allow me to sue the Best Buy guys every time they offer me a $99.99 Product Service Plan when i'm buying a $149.99 DVD burner, but that's another article altogether)... My company has changed their focus to include telemarketing, but no depend on it exclusivly... they've begun to diversify!
you either adjust, or you burn out.
companies need to learn to adapt better to changing technologies, and quit whining so much.
you're never going to sell anything if you annoy everyone you're trying to convince.
if you can't beat 'em join 'em.
and if you can't prove they ripped you off, create incentives so everyone will abandon them.
actually, if you really believe this is a good way to run a business, forget it, you will never be a powerhouse. people don't take your 'word', we've been waiting for your actions which seem slow, unplanned, jerking motions. you have discredited yourself more and more.
quit trying to make this issue better, you're only making it worse.
Users expect ads.
With companies offering free internet service. free software, etc. we expect it.
but when users have already paid money to the company for software, service, or hardware, they should be exempt from such BS.
or my personal fave, under the keyboard. on my network, of 50+ users, on any given day i can find a few passwords, written on a stickey note, under a keyboard.
Slashdot Mirror
As long as it didn't have anything to do with that Saddam Hussein fellow, or his little buddy Osama bin Laden...
No one remembers, but on one episode, they actually referred to them as a "Northern Kentucky Family".
Maybe this would cover California or part of the Northeast...
or a very densely populated Indiana. South Korea is the same approximate size as Indiana but has an estimated 48 million people (CIA's WorldBook)compaired to Indiana's 6 million (stats.indiana.edu).

Smarter than paying with a credit card.
There are two questions i'm sure everyone is asking...
Does it print color and offer Linux support?
Married an Ax Murderer"?

Redundant?
i didn't even read the previous replies!
maybe i wasted to much time RTFA first.
slashdot does this everyday, for free. accidentally, even.
Didn't I see one of these in a thinkgeek.com ad?
is tired of reading all the SCO jokes on /.

good for you, and good for apple.
antivirus checklist
