"Microsoft was even willing to remove product activation from the Thai version of their product. Of course, that doesn't open them up to much of a risk of bootlegging since people in other countries are not going to want to run the Thai versions of Windows and Office."
I've noticed the following passage in their readme for the SuSE KDE 3.2 build:
"Known issues:
* Qt 3.3.0 final has not been released yet, we expect it next week
and it will be avaible on ftp.suse.com.
The qt packages in these directories contain a late snapshot
(Qt 3.2 would need many patches, so we decided to go the 3.3 way)"
As far as I can tell then expect a rebuild of KDE 3.2 now that the final of QT 3.3 is available... so SuSE users who've just upgraded to that KDE 3.2 you should have read the readme first if you have problems later when stuff built with the real Qt3.3 gets released...:)
2.6 will give you a massive improvement in your smb serving...
test it and see for yourself:) even 2.4 will improve your smb serving as it incorporates some improvements that were introduced to speed up Linux after the Mindcraft episode.
"Simply don't buy the book or at least hold off until the professor assigns you the four pages to read from it. Then go to the bookstore, read the pages, write out the questions, and put it quietly (or not) back on the bookshelf."
Get yourself a good quality digital camera... photo just those required pages... it's the same as photocopying and should come under fair use.

Apple is the manufacturer... not the product... and the proper trademark for "windows" is "Microsoft Windows", not at all like LindowsOS to give it it's correct name...
"(complete with the default-administrator-user access),"
It hasn't done that for quite some while now... please keep up at the back there with your FUD... it's stale...:) Also... it's not Lindows... it's LindowsOS... a whole different kettle of fish... and the judge should have thrown Microsoft's case out as
(1) Windows is a ridiculously generic word to have trademarked...
(2) LindowsOS isn't at all like the proper title that Microsoft has really got trademarked "Microsoft Windows"...
you forgot the biggest cost to industry... lost production, lost sales, lost data... all those "bums on seats" unable to work until after you've fixed their machine...
Train yourself in the required courses for doing house wiring and also wiring in buildings... they can't outsource that yet... Either that or become a plumber... any skilled trade will do that's in demand...
with their treatment of Sendo... that case has caused most manufacturers in that field to think about whether they really really want to be technology partners with them...
bad news... the process of extracting Hydrogen from the diesel fuel creates Carbon Dioxide as a waste product. Exactly the same amount as would be released by burning the diesel fuel in the engine. This system is not the be all and end all wonder thingy it is being touted as as there is still the problem of disposal of the CO2 byproduct.
The whole thing smacks of the Oil lobby doing it's level best to claim to have green leanings but all along continuing to push for the reliance on oil and continuing our dependency on it. Hydrogen as a fuel for vehicles is an excellent idea, but this hydrogen is not "clean" hydrogen. It is extremely "dirty" hydrogen coming as it does from non-renewable sources and still causing just as much pollution as burning the diesel in the first place but merely moving the pollution off the streets to the cracking plants instead.
What we really want is real investment into developing "clean" sources of hydrogen, ie. using fusion power or "clean" renewable sources of power to split water into Hydrogen and Oxygen... We have oodles of sea water to use... we do not have oodles of oil left and that oil is best used as feedstocks for the plastics industry.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the waste product of this catalitic conversion CO2, one of those nasty greenhouse gases... surely, all they're doing is moving the point of pollution from the car exhaust to the catalitic plant??? they've still got to deal with the CO2.
" Basically it is an "InstantOn" PC with LinDVD (which is developed by InterVideo) that fits on a read-only memory chip. Linux handles TV, DVD, CD, MP3, radio. The twist to this product is that it also has a bootable MS Windows XP OS so you can run any of the MS Windows app that you still want/need."
arrggghhh... the worst of both worlds... Linux on read only chip so you can't add anything to it or improve it and XP... I just hope the default accounts aren't admin level and the admin account has a password...
I also wonder how long it will be before someone works out how to wipe XP and stick a real Linux on it...
"Even with the best instruments and the most careful technicians and scientists, systematic errors between instruments, methods and setups exist. When it comes to consistency, a single instrument in a single setup beats anything else. "
And when it comes to consistency... a single instrument can make the most monumentally consistent error... it helps to have other instruments and methods to compare against here...

!!!!! GPL'd.NET software??? how platform specific can you get...
First dental software written for the Windows.NET framework! Windows.NET will be replacing Windows XP eventually. We use only cutting edge technology to bring you one of the most stable and advanced products available.
All your data is available to you and under your complete control! Not just some of your data, but ALL of it is open (still very secure), available to other programs, and always under your control. Plan for the future and use software that is built on open standards, not software that is closed and proprietary.
System Requirements: To run Open Dental, your main computer must have Windows XP or Windows 2000. Your workstations can be running on Windows 98 or later.
sheesh... I applaud their use of the GPL and their aims... but not their choice of platform... to have made it fully portable they should have used Java in conjunction with MySQL

"Do car dealerships have a sign on the door that says "Here's a car, you can have it for free, but we'd like you to give us some cash for it please". Of course not, and that's why Free Software will fail,"
Bad analogy... not car dealerships... car manufacturers saying "here's our new car which you can buy readymade and the plans for it are also available for a nominal fee so that you can improve it, but please make all improvements available for everybody to benefit from..."
If they really, really wanted to stop piracy via DVD screeners, then all they've got to do is put bl00dy obvious watermarks that jump about the edges of the screen and are hard to digitally remove... whocking great copyright notices that subliminally flash at random times during the movie would be a help as well...
But as usual they hound the consumers of the product citing dead old evidence of taping of movies that used to occur ages ago back in the days of dodgy video tapes.
But there isn't a requirement for this law when effective laws already exist. The work is already protected by copyright law so why is there a need for this one???

They've already removed product activation from the special cut price bundle they were doing for Thailand...
