I agree, who cares if someone can write cursive if you can't read it. Also, everything except handwritten letters is written in print these days. Why bother with something that will be used rarely if ever?
Chatspeak and cursive serve the same purpose: confusing the hell out of people with barely legible gibberish. So it's really just a new standard of illegibility.
Yes, but the Mac OS is only designed to work on PPCs and the other way around. Windows still has to run on an AMD Athlon and Linux still has to run on just about everything. Apple, on the other hand, has pretty much complete control over what processor its OS will run on since it controls the whole process.
The RIAA just shot themselves in the foot with a rocket launcher by doing this. Before, when they were going after napster, they could dupe people into believing they were the victims. But now that they've taken a college students life savings for running a site that could turn up pirated music in it's searches they look like the greedy bastards they are.
he would have lost in a second and probably would have ended up owing the RIAA millions. Yet this way he still gets to dny any wrongdoing and may actually manage to have some money
I'm not saying that the settlement amount is right. I'm saying that that's the only way for him to not have his life ruined utterly by the RIAA
Wait so we're paying 100's of $ for buggy software and you expect us to pay 1000's for actually working software when we can get Linux for next to nothing.
Microsoft won't change its ways until it sees that it is absolutely necessary for the companies survival
Remember that Apple has optimised its processors to run with their OS, while Intel and AMD have no such luxury. I think a better test would be the above both running Linux.
If SCO truly saw a case they'd show the source to the public. furthermore, Aberdeen has a horrible track record, with tons of biased reports. Even if it is true, it could have been that Novell had added the code to both OSs before SCO got their hands on Unix.
Calm down, did you even read his post?
He was wondering about how to give back to the community without getting in trouble with his company. So he is planning to give back to the community.
I would say that you should probably find a middle ground. If you have modifed an open source heavily enough that it is obviously distinct from the original, then keep it within the company. However, if you simply fixed a few bugs or made it slightly more stable without adding that much new functionality to it, then you should probably contribute it. Also, if you're just using it for within the company and it won't be sold to anyone, it wouldn't hurt to give that to the open source community since it has no effect on business.
In summary: If it won't harm the company, then you might as well contribute it.
Those would be my guidelines. You should probably ask around within your company before you do anything though.

Notice that it's a Microsoft employee saying this.
Could a sinister plot between Apple and Microsoft be afoot?
Could I be slightly paranoid?
Not only that he's using airport. I have a phrase for him: "when do you want to be fired today"

Why to use file sharing of course, and we know how much the government loves that.
But Apple has the final say over the processor and works closely with IBM and Motorola just about every step of the way.

Plus with microsofts new competition eliminator plugin, you can protect your children from smut like linux

Ironically both objects have been used as "assistants". the floppy drive was part of the help program in windows 3.1

I think AOL should sue for unfair competition in the spam department.

the design is impressive but i think he should have used an old apple studio display crt. It would have been like a good version of the imac.
if the site does get /.ed go here
I just noticed a slight decrease after about a minute. Ouch!!
And his cheating Apples
