Hey boss, why don't we use open source in our entreprise? It could allow us to stand on the shoulders of giants!
Wow, what a retarded way to talk about OSS, looks like Haiku made by a 12 year old. I'm sure people have much more intelligent ways to defend/advocate for open source. And most of the arguments are not really good, saying "The internet is powered by open source" is not true, because for that you would need a 100% usage rate which evidently, open source has not attained.
I can already see the people pass the checkpoint, with a hockey-like light on a pole, going, green green green RED please sir step aside while everyone looks at the poor sap which has nothing to do with terrorism 99.9% of the time. Oh, the number of legal actions you will get for this, my head...
It's funny how when they want to, saying "Computer" activates it but when they are talking ABOUT the computer, not a peep. Now that's a freaking nice UI, detects intonations.
This just means that people that have computer jobs will live healthier lives (because of the induced microbe resistance from being constantly exposed) than people who drink from toilet boils.
Seriously, what the hell does this proove? If 1 of those bacterias is deadly in the toilet and the 20,000 ones in my comp aren't, is that important? Probably not, because you'd be too occupied being impressed by numbers. You can make numbers say what you like. Kind of like making gigantic gapped bars for little insignificant things like
What they really didnt say is it fell more than 50% in 1996 (pulling numbers out of my ass, just saying the industry was in deep shit WAYYY before), so that 7.3% isnt nearly as much as we'd think.
That's like saying the impact in 2004 of the great depression is 0.0001%, it means nothing when taken out of context.
Can i bring you my older Corolla 99 for a 2004 S edition? Better yet, can i have a Ferarri? Why couldn't i trade in my old one with proof of purchase for the new one you developed?
Man you'd make an excellent car dealer. You'd be out of business in 30 seconds. People would mass by the doors to give you their old crap, expecting you innovate/develop things for them and give them for free.
I don't know if you folks in the US know but here it's 169$ CAN for upgrade and 269$ CAN for full version stand-alone. People will throw themselves at this price if you told them it was 45$ for a special offer with a brand new PC. Or the enthusiasts will say no thanks and go buy clone parts and assemble it themselves.
But i have to admit i haven't payed for a MS OS since... ever. So i have all the advantages of open source (cost) with the universality of windows and my favorite games. Anyhow, MS prefers you pirate their OS instead of forking over to Linux.

What is the guy high on, crack? I can't make the time go faster/slower with a MP3 player, and i cannot expand my boundaries, my body is fixed width/length/weight.
If you want to manage those, i suggest you grab the Astral Dominae, the Chaos Moliri and the Destinae Dominus. Then go to the cosmic forge. (www.wizardry8.com)
You should never, EVER do that on Slashdot. Someone WILL find evidence. It's always funny to see editors use "never" and "always" in their articles, and get instantly corrected in the first 10 posts.
The question is usually much more important than the answer in terms of insight. It shows intelligence. The answer is just processed facts. Facts don't denote intelligence. But facts with insight intermixed can be insightful. Better?
"Hey man, put your jack in here to listen to my iPod this tune is great"
"Sorry dude, i don't own the rights to that song, maybe another time".
"Are you sure, here i'll put it on my portable speakers"
"NOOO I DONT HAVE THE RIGHTS AND NEITHER DO THESE PEOPLE ARGH MY MORAL CONSCIENCE"
(falls on floor in convulsions)
Can you imagine that? Come on. If you like Open Source so much, i believe you might want the same to music. I agree with protecting your hard work but it's getting out of hand.
Is it like the movie? Made for a one time shot only that was extended to 2 more films? And then there's the possibility of sequels, hence Longhorn/Blackcomb (i think).

Sorry since i'm pessimistic i'm going to have to side with the "-" camp.
You could have at least said "Premier commentaire!" to be on topic or something. These guys don't even try anymore.

Oh my, that bar is long! Must be bad!
No "customers" were harmed. The only people who use Hotmail are people who are too poor/lazy to install their own ISP's mail system on their machines.
And if you base your business on Hotmail, i'd say you have a serious I.T. decisions problem.

45$ for Windows XP my God that's a bargain!

You anal? Give me a call we'll talk.
"You'd have to throw away the whole processor if a single transistor in it went bad, instead of just changing the transistor."
Changing transistors in processors? Oh yeah sure i do that all the time. Really. No Really.
I'll stick with low quality rips then thank you very much

I think you have emotional problems. It's SOFTWARE. Let it go man.
