Well... Judging by main stream press which is the press most people read, not LinuxWorld, AND taking into consideration that for the most part, in the main stream press SCO FUD has worked reasonably well, yes, I think some stupid web site will generate some sympathy.
As much as everyone here "hates" Windows, it seems *some* here actually use it?
Windows and Microsoft have a lot of problems. But that does not give you the right to steal it.
Of course if the Government where developing this technology, people would be outraged, huffing and puffing about Big Brother...
But instead of a specific data source (the GPS unit), why not develop a standard and just have a data plug in the side of the cam to plug *whatever* data source into? GPS, keyboard, clock, speedometer, altimeter, whatever...
I traval around the globe quite a bit, and you know what? AOL is the only ISP that reliably has a dial-up number just about everywhere I go. Back-of-my-ass spots I end up, and I really need Internet. AOL is there.
If they use IE, they get an icon on every OEM windows install. that's a LOT of new customers.
Is it REALLY a lot of new customers these days? What with all those free coasters and all, I really don't think the desktop icon means that much. There must be something else.
Like browser mods and and the fact that as we all know, (at least if you know ANYTHING about Windows API and Windows app development), all things in Windows including the browser and the file navigator, they are all "windows". Even Outlook is a "window". If AOL wants to integrate into Windows (which 99% or more of ALL AOL customers use) seamlessly, they HAVE to use IE.
A lot. For the most part Windows has been more consistent through various versions. Most of 95 would run on 98, and in fact a LOT will even run on all versions. There are huge exceptions, but these are with apps being produced by componies that want you to buy the latest version, and so the fault lies as much with them as it does with Microsoft.
People who develop for Windows are going to look at Linux and say, "but if we want to reach everyone we have to deal with RedHat, SUSE, Foo, and DoubleFoo."
Mostly it tends to be the Foo and DoubleFoo distros that break compatibility. This is for two main reasons.
"Boutique" Linux distros are developed are often developed by fanatics who simply don't care if "Application X" works on their distro, because obviously, "Application X" is crap, and possibly not licensed according to their politics. These distros are not for the "mainstream" and will probably fade away quickly.
Other "Boutique" distros have some very specific uses in mind, such as those that require ultra-stability or ultra-security. I was going to say like dedicated web servers, but I think the *BSDs have that sewn up. With these very narrow focuses, wide compatibility is rarely an issue.
I know people are going to flame me for writing this, but in The Enterprise, the only real Linux players right now are Novell/SuSE and RedHat. A lot of this has to do with vender support, which distros such as Gentoo/Debian/Slackware and so on do not have.
Well, they do get 15 periods of 25 second zero Gs, and that should give plenty of screen time for the "money shot". It's about 6 minutes or so, and with multiple cameras, they could log a lot of footage. Besides, the price is quite low for a commercial production. Most of the rest could be done on a sound stage someplace...
I do think, however, they might want to charge an extra "clean up" premium on porn shoots...
I submitted the *exact* same story two days ago, BUT I'M NOT BITTER! Anyway, although the official web site originally had a bunch pictures of the recovery team with their unprotected hands all over the spacecraft remains, it seems they've moved it to a clean room...
Why do companies these days always resort to the law to handle their problems.
Because we are a "civilized" society? WOHA! Just spat my lunch (fussily with fresh organic tomato sauce, grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and of course a bit of chili flake). Damn, that's funny. In the end, Apple Computer is just like any other big company. It's all about money, and lawyers who help you get it and keep it.
YEs, this is why.
As a former IEG (look it up) I can tell you that this is true. Guy get's BUSTED buying porn by significant other, says it was not him...
This is something that the rest of the world has known for a long time, hence the tredition in Europe of going on a hollyday (of a few weeks) every year.
Isn't this "Death Threat" bull shit just a good example of self-generated FUD designed to SELL THE BUSINESS FOR $$$? Come on people, are we that stupid, that willing to buy into the TINFOIL HAT bs that this story is?
Than clearly you have not looked into the history of Infinium and it's "Phantom Game Console". This company is basically a pipe dream at best and a out-and-out fraud is more realistic. Besides, it's basically a PC in a fancy box, except you can't do word processing on it.

Perhaps, but I'm happy with 20% troll.

Idon't like it, but that's the way it is.

Yes, well, since it's REALLY NOT a new search engine...

We actually do know how to optimise for it.
Meta-search engines have been around awhile.
Actually, a visit to the ISS might be the way to go. The Russians will take anyone up there these days.

It does not work with Firefox. So, why do I care?
Yes, but SQL Server is the only Microsoft product that actually works in a half decent way (Don't laugh!)
Why try for Debian? You will fail. But you **MAY** win with Red Hat, and then move to Debian LATER.

So you work for the sham-miesters who make Infinium? How much do they pay you, or do you do it just to give blow jobs to the "CEO"?
No, after the FBI has a gander at the servers, and puts them in a truck and drives off, the Slashdot effect will be alive and well.
I wonder if this guy knew Seth from IEG. They must have gone to the same biz school.
the X box has specialized chips for video and game processing. The Phantom is just a suped up PC. Nothing to see,please move along.
