I burst into laughter when I reached the screenshot with the CFLAGS and USE flags. It looks like a good installer, but I just couldn't help it. I tried 2005.1 a few weeks ago.
Alright. I've heard enough. These violent games must be stopped in case they maybe could possibly lead some kids to behave aggressively!!! Who's with me?! - Hogue
When protecting the records of millions of customers, taking reasonable precautions means it simply doesn't get stolen, ever. Anything less is negligence.
No user ever went to jail because they were served filtered search results. They just get a little annoyed and maybe look elsewhere. But if Google shares search records, users are going to jail.
You'll sue. You'll win. You'll be fine. Your competitor will be ruined. The person who leaked the code will be ruined.
As for the use of a $80k code audit tool. If the bank's paying for it, that's how it's going to happen. BTW, expensive niche software companies don't always like it when their quotes become public knowledge. Companies like that often try to guess what each customer is willing to pay, within reason.
You're going to increase total costs ten fold, just to save a little on the school's side. If you need money, increase tuition $100 instead of requiring each student to buy a $1000 laptop. Also, if you go forward with the plan, you might find a lot of students who will strongly disagree with whatever specs you might dictate, especially if there's specific software required. For example, if you require Windows+MSOffice, you'll piss off Linux and Mac users.
There would be only one edition of Vista: The best one. Even the Ultimate edition is crippled on the server side, as to not compete with Server 2003. If Microsoft's market share were much smaller, they wouldn't have such an incentive to divide it up like this.
I'm not saying Microsoft should change their plan, or that they should be criticized for this. They're just reacting to the market in the only way a company of their size can be expected to. Consumers are just stuck with intentionally lower quality software, at the maximum price they'd be willing to pay for it.
With FOSS you get everything plus the kitchen sink, for free, with virtually no limitations. But now the problem's reversed. Instead of there being an incentive to provide a lower quality product as in Microsoft's case, there's a lack of incentive for users to pay the bills, except when they want support or a warm fuzzy feeling that they're making a difference.
Over time, I expect the restricted (thought not necessarily closed source) and free open source software markets to reshape to complement each other, to compensate for each other's inefficiencies. Common software will generally be free (as in freedom) open source. Restricted commercial software will fill in the gaps where free open source has trouble growing, like games and other non-essentials, requiring a relatively competitive price to be paid to cover the development costs. Until then, we're going to see a lot of funny shit like eight desktop editions of Windows Vista, all of them crippled on purpose.
I have the following in front of me on my desk: * Dell Dimension 2400 - 2.4ghz Celeron, 512mb, 80gb. Running CentOS 4.2. My primary desktop. * IBM NetVista A30p - 1.8ghz Celeron, 512mb, 40gb. Running Ubuntu Dapper Flight 4. Yesterday ran Arch Linux 0.7.1. The day before it ran Gentoo 2005.1, for several weeks. It's my play system. * eMachine eTower 500ix - 500mhz Celeron, 256mb, 80gb. Running XP Pro. My old desktop. I've never seen any other eMachine last so long. * Two monitors (15" 1280x1024, 19" 1920x1440), two keyboards, two mice, two speakers, and a 2 port KVM switch. * A 100mbit dlink router, a Linksys wireless router, and a cable modem. * And the hard disk from my sister in law's recently purchased, now dead eMachine.
In my bedroom I have an old dotcom era server collecting dust, previously owned by Rocketdownload.com. It used to run NT4 Server. Now it runs Debian Sarge, when it's turned on at least. It's a 233mhz Pentium II, 96mb ram (up from 64), and two hard disks, 2gb and 3gb.
Also in this house, on this network, but not belonging to me: * HP Pavillion - 2.8ghz P4, 512mb, 120gb. Running XP Home. * Wintergreen (whatever) - Sempron (forgot speed), 256mb, 40gb. Wireless. Running Kubuntu Breezy. * Some laptop - 333mhz, 64mb, 4gb. Windows 98.
Same here. My computers have always been obsolete when I bought them new. Apart from the graphics, they're good systems, so long as you install lots of ram.
Just finished installing Ubuntu Dapper Flight 4 while typing this, with Gnome 2.13.91. It does seem faster than before. My secondary desktop is a 1.8ghz Celeron, 512mb ram, 40gb hd, Intel 845G chipset.
PDF is intended to replace postscript. You use it to save a document exactly as it would appear printed.
IE can already save a web page as a single file. It makes pretty good use of existing standards, mime encoding the page like an email with image attachments.
That gives them less than a month to make 2/3 of the records disappear and fabricate records less detrimental to the president's image to take their place.
Better not let that get infected. And avoid accidentally bumping your head in a way that might cause the fixed-position electrodes to slice through your brain.
Problem: Customers are offended by your rotten strategies, and are starting to boycott your stores. Solution: Fire a bunch of lower managers. Blame it all on them. Sure, it's rotten, but whatever works.
Since they desire that consumers only "rent" DVDs

Since that's how they want to play it, I'll stick to video rentals. That way, the video store buys one copy (one license fee), and that one copy gets shared by hundreds of consumers before it's replaced.

Keeping the class files out of their competitors' hands might help.

Sure it is. The'll have to live with their mistakes. And the good students will be more productive.

Slightly later humans were hunters who conquered all that stood in their way.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this behaviour is very extremely illegal.
I don't know. I've just never read anything good about them.

What would they do if suicide wasn't legal?
Hard disk images I suppose.
