What I like about sqlite is that it's public domain (not even BSD licensed or something). But still people call the developer and ask for a license. He assures them that no, they don't need a license and it's all public domain. Usually the reply is something along the lines of "yeah sure, but what does a license cost". So he sells them a license:-)

Is Email 'Bankrupt'?
·
· Score: 1
Microsoft docs on the subject are fairly clear. Personal Folders used to store retained email by Outlook users are NOT intended to be accessed across the network. They should always be local files. We have to work with that as best we
But why isn't IMAP a solution then? That's specifically designed to keep e-mail on the server (where it belongs, in my opinion).
Seems some people have trouble saying 'no'. I have e-mail coming in, requesting me to do things, to think something through, to agree on something, god knows what.
So I say "no." No, I don't have time to think about it. No, I don't have to read this. No, I am not the one to agree with you on this.
I always reply, though, but sometimes just a polite "no". If you don't reply, that's when people start calling. What's next, declaring that the telephone is bankrupt?
You're talking about branching being hard. But as far as I read the GP, she actually meant that without branching she finds it hard. I don't know where she got that from, though. Without branching, it's not hard at all.
Every now and then, I hear the fake shutter sound that lets me know my cell phone just took a picture of the inside of my pocket.
So, you're in the cinema with the date of your dreams. You move towards her for a nice wet french kiss and suddenly *flash* the phone cam its flash light illuminates the insides of your jeans, showing a big boner covered with that old Winnie-the-Pooh underpants that you should've thrown away.
Actually I don't think that a keyboard with a slight slope is a good idea ergonomically-wise. Of course it has a big personal element in it, but a tilt means that you bend your wrists slightly upward. The more expensive Kinesis keyboardshave a design where you actually have your fingers lower than your wrists to keep the strain from the wrists.
I'm a proud monarchy-loving citizen of the Netherlands and I can confirm this.
I can also confirm that Amsterdam is slated to be cut off from the Netherlands and, as a separate country, will be drifted off at sea in 2012.
Dell uses the Internet Explorer SDK to adjust IE on a number of points. Lots of big companies do this as well, it's noticeable in the title bar of IE, which will say something along the lines of Internet Explorer presented to you by MegaCorp or something. At which point I start FireFox.
I truly, truly don't understand the fuss with the preinstalled crap. I've just bought a Dell with Vista preinstalled for my gf and I boot it, menu -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. Remove crap. Install Firefox, remove the IE icon. Done.
any time I do something mildly complicated, the first thing I do is hit google to find the options / name of the magic configuration program / location and format of the config file
I'm getting the feeling where you're steering at, however for me that's been ages. I'm honestly curious. Can you give me an example of what that was? And how long ago did this happen?
No, it's not the same way. Quote: in the US, ignorance of a patent is considered reason for clemency in cases of patent violation., see also Free Software Magazine.
It seems to me that this is different from the case you're describing, where someone sharing MP3s can't claim that he didn't know he violated copyrights.
Now why the flying fuck would you want to buy an unwarranted PC with no OS for $400 when you can buy a complete new PC for that amount of money?
The second hand market for PC was already small, but with new PCs from Dell (and other major outlets) costing around $380, seconds hands are worth jack and shit.
Nah of course not, just making a light-hearted reference to his company. Actually, I think the man himself doing pretty well nowadays with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
*yawn* This is getting boring. The minute uncle Bill comes up with some stupid supposed violation, we'll code around it. In the meantime, let's not pay attention to this craphola.
Why does the chick get off? Because she didn't reach that magical age of 18?
This is just how it works. That age is a giant generalization saying *everyone* below 18 isn't fit to have sex. Which, of course, is just that: a gross over-generalization. The alternative is trying to describe all kinds of situations what is right and what isn't. Problem is that's really unworkable.

Isn't backupping done centrally in your organization? And why is e-mail stored on peoples desktops?
Seems some people have trouble saying 'no'. I have e-mail coming in, requesting me to do things, to think something through, to agree on something, god knows what.

Does your credit card processor still charge you the transaction costs?

No, it's a desktop. Sorry, I don't think I understand your reply. What are you trying to say?

- Wireless networking is lacking
- Gaming sucks
These two areas have indeed been lacking. Only in recent months, Ubunto and Fedora are getting the wireless thing right, but it's not going fast.No, it's not the same way.

Sorry, "we" excluding "dave420"
I've got two WiFi base stations. The minute I enter my house, I get a headache!
Strange, isn't it?
What's even stranger is that it only started when my girlfriend moved in with me.

There are many. many more -- this is only a list of Linux-based trademarks in the United States.
For instance, this list is the one for Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
