i question the wisdom of this. how many companies have the time to waste doing this vs going to a vendor and shelling out for an "assured" solution? it'd cost less in man hours to simply purchase windows than audit an entire linux distro for malware.
i think the "but you can read the code" retort is easily answered with "but who's going to pay to read it?"
don't stick your neck out like that OSS people won't thank you and ALL mistakes in any software you somehow get approved will be your own personal fault. it sounds like your too low in the food chain to be steering the direction of the company
what else did you expect from a left wing government?
in their first few months in office, they have established 25 committees packed with their union buddies, created new taxes and set in motion their own nanny state.
are you for real??? labor is the A typical nanny state supporter. the liberals merely stopped at providing filtering software to people who wanted it. let me guess, you voted for kevin 07 because it was catchy.
the reason is it looks like a giant sperm attempting to fertilize your anus. we can't have giant sperms driving around now can we? imagine the nerd jokes when ever there was a "rear-ender" with one of these sperm cars.
why DO these guys need to make electric cars all look so, well, gay?
what your talking is rubbish, because people don't dodge accidents (hence why they have them). by your reasoning because motobikes are so quick and agile they wouldn't never get in an accident.
you MUST have the same safety on these electric cars as any normal car, they will be in accidents ranging from small fender benders to multi car pile ups.
anyway it's a pretty moot point. this 300mpg thing is just a fucking toy, it only takes one person and has fuck all carry space.
given the amount of shit google spits out to any given search i'd say it's accurate. the internet savy person knows they need to think deeply before clicking on a link, where a normal person is just using pot luck and not thinking about it.
what makes you think i give a shit about MS in the slightest? as i pointed out, they are no different to any other large company when it comes to this stuff. if anyone actually got angry about MS or linux bashing it'd be pointless, MS isn't going to love you for defending them.
that's not what i'm talking about. sure all the workers own part of the company but when they are at work they still have to say yes sir three bags full sir.
what i pose to you, is how would you do things better? try running a company where the janitor gets an equal vote on say, corporate strategy and see how long you last.
what the fuck do nerds who post this dribble think is going to happen, that MS will tremble at their scorn? Every single company with more than a few 100 employees has these kinds of corporate statements which are supposed to be all touchy feelie but completely optional. some dick at MS probably has a job doing nothing but writing this crap, it doesn't make MS a single bit evil.
frankly that anyone finds this news worthy shows the level of naivety around here....
no it won't protect your eyes. the only way i know of is the old pin hole through cardboard type method used during a solar eclipse, but i'm not sure even that is safe without the blockage of the eclipse.
look at all the comments condemning walmart, even though this is the right thing to do. fuck, they listen to their customers and you still think they are evil?
you've got it all ass about face. the creator isn't the one responsible for the concept of "copyright" it's the public and the government which is backed by the people. i pay taxes which funds the government that protects those creators copyrights, so who the hell do they think they are, that they should keep benefiting for 90+ years from the protection i afford them?
why does anyone need the exclusive rights to something for more than 10 years? if you can't make your money on it in 10 years, it's time to stop flogging a dead horse, and if it's still popular it's long since passed into pop culture and should enter the public domain in recognition of all the support it's had...
watch them twist and turn in their attempts to validate this one. gui's had this for over a decade... but they won't let facts get in the way of steve's glory!!!
look at what site is number 2. no doubt at all bsd/unix is awesome, but win 2003 is NOT a bad web platform by any means, and for many purposes it's very effective
nonsense. windows is very very firmly entrenched in corporate IT. a more likely explanation is that it's an odd combination that no one cares about. perl really isn't all that great anymore, it's syntax is more complex and it's got no speed or other advantages over the other 10+ languages that can fill the gap.

use it. don't rely on someone else or the law to keep you safe.
their expensive and their hosties aren't as attractive. oh and their planes seem to have a few issues
the problem is that ati cards have even more problems without being broken

any country you moved to that they could extradite you from is going to be more of a hell hole than just staying in the USA.
yay.
your an idiot, numbers don't matter, wealth does. America = wealthest market in the world.
someone are just plains stupid i guess.

use the the same logic on the linux servers, there's only one listed on there.
