If Dell is going to buck Microsoft and install Firefox, perhaps the day is coming when they will openly and consistently offer Linux on their desktop machines as an alternative to Windows. But we will see. Something tells me MS isn't going to take this lying down.
I think most of the Distro specific books you can get at a bookstore have that design in mind. Running Linux, was an excellent book to get you started as well, IMO.
No, any OS can have trouble that needs to be corrected. It's just with Linux, you don't just restart a couple times a day to try to solve the problem;-)
This was modded insightful. Let's see you were proud of your country during the Reagan years.... you were born in 1984... so you were conscious of such things before age 5 (Reagan was out in Jan 89). Of course the people murdered in the World Trade Center died for nothing. Terrorists killed them. They weren't warriors fighting for their some reason on the battlefield. They were ordinary citizens going about their business when they were killed for little if any good reason. They were killed because we support Israel's right to exist. You can throw in some other reaons, they don't like the fact that we are sinful, exporting our evil ways through out the world. But the main reason is Palestine.
None of this was Bush's agenda prior to 9/11. He had little if any interest in foreign policy. He wanted to work on domestic issues. Remember his first goal was to work with Teddy Kennedy to solve education. The Patriot Act passed with bipartisan support and the vast majority of the American people supported it. You say you have had "all your rights stripped". Unless you are in a prison camp somewhere this statement is simply moronic. What can't you do now that you could before?
This constant refrain that this is like Hitler is a bit insulting to the victimes of the Holocaust, it seems to me. I hadn't seen 6-7 million of our countrymen being rounded up and burned to death because of their religion. Oh but you might have had you bag checked at the airport, BFD. You want to compare that to being burned in an oven.
There was no terrorism prior to 9/11? They tried to blow it up 10 years before remember. Then we had the incident at Okalahoma City. I think a Google search could instruct you on several others. Not to mention the ones outside our borders (USS Cole, the African Embassies,.....)
As we have discovered, most administrations have played fast and loose with the rules. Is Bush's worse than some others, perhaps. But can you compare it with Clinton and Reno's adventures in sending in the storm troopers to burn up women and children at Waco, Ruby Ridge, the "rescue" of Elian Gonzalez to return him to Cuba after his Mother gave her life to get him here.
Well I guess I will give it up now. I am sure by now you are insightful +5 and this is headed to troll or flamebait.
Actually I look forward to reading alot of these at the end of the year. I am not interested in buying the newest games as they come out as I feel they are overpriced. So I wait to see which games turned out to be the best and by then they are usually being discounted.
This seems like a great idea. Improve everyone's morale by making fun of people. I can't believe it would be too long before someone's feeling are hurt by the made up captions provided by other employees. We certainly wouldn't to go to the effort and cost of providing decent pay, decent benefits, and treating employees like valued members of the company as a way to improve morale.
It really depends on the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the organization. If they are pretty loose and liberal a smart guy can stir up quite abit of trouble, especially if he gets started well before the Board meeting with motions and such.
The Feds can only become involved in situations like this, if there was a violation of a Federal Statute. It would appear that the State of Texas is attempting to prosecute them for violation of a state statute.
The rules tend to change when you hold a virtual monopoly of something as important economically as an operating system. If other companies are going to be allowed to conduct business in areas that need to somehow interface with Windows, then they need some basic information (especially since they are trying to outlaw any form of reverse engineering). Otherwise you end up in a situation where Microsoft is the only company that can even provide other forms of software.
Not just that $1 B. If they continued to ignore it very long incurring the fines, it may make them subject to shareholder suits. With the additional legal costs from those, you could run into serious money.
Apparently pretty well. He has had to move to satellite radio which is not regulated by the FCC. Yeah, I know he went for more money. But Howard has even said he can not do the show he wants to do on the public airwaves due to the FCC.
Just the parts in the United States one would think. How much of the Internet would be usable with no traffic going through the US or a company that is tied to the US would be anyone's guess.
Remember the FCC is the group that seemed to have only one mission a few years ago.. STAMP OUT HOWARD STERN. Do you have any doubt that if given the opportunity they wouldn't stamp out porn as well? Don't get me wrong I don't think they will be given the authority to do so.
Once they became a publicly traded company, they then had one responsibility. To maximize shareholder's wealth. That is going to change your method of doing business from when it was 2 guys in their garage.
You have to do the new math. You take the projection as your baseline. So if they had projected growth of 5%, the results were -.44%, they actually lost 5.44%. It may sound stupid but that is the way Big Bidness often looks at it.
Come now. It is quite simple. Bill and Steve have as much money as God. They can keep it wrapped up in court until something better comes out and no one cares about this "technical but unintentional infraction".
This is why the psychology industry has lost all credibility with me. Every failing that a person has is now some addiction or other problem that is beyond their control. It is all part of the victimization of Humans. They have nearly ruined our judicial system. Every big trial now has competing "experts" that will take whatever position they are paid to take.
"Something must be very wrong if the supplier is threatening the customer." Gee, that never happens does it? The RIAA/MPAA do it all the time, don't they?
Surely you aren't questioning the motivations of the powers that run Slashdot, are you? After all we are talking about Zonk or CmdrTaco's honesty and integrity, their sterling reputations, their..... oh never mind.....
Slashdot Mirror
The real best use for this is obvious. Geek's would love to have one. Imagine the chicks you could pick up wearing one of these babies :-)

At least one good thing came out of all of the ill feelings. I discovered what great wines there are coming from Italy and Australia.

Did know one read I, Robot?

Not sure why this was modded flamebait, redundant perhaps as he was basically summarizing the parent's points, but not flamebait.

hey, don't ferget nekkid.....
The male figure itself is large in these video games. Apparently they are holding out for males with large genitalia.
