More likely the prefer Linux, because after going to all the time and effort of creating a botnet you don't want some other cracking asshat hijacking your botnet.
With windows of course those poor hard working crackers and continually having to rebuild their botnet as other crackers pilfer their bots as readily as they orginally gained, 24/7 no rest for the wicked.
So winbots while easy to gain are nearly impossible to keep because of course they are just so slutty, they are anybodies;).
I would like to make a corrective addition to your gross misrepresentation, "You don't have the hassle of re-activating it if you upgrade/change your hardware" in point of fact I used all five of my activations, with and changing one bit of hardware.
Somehow in the typical wonderful world of M$ windows, my PC decided all on its own that all the hardware had changed between reboots, it did this at random intervals, requiring me, first up one morning whilst in a rush to beg M$ for the super long code unlock the (P)OS code whilst they implied I was pirating the software.
That'll teach me using a M$ windows PC 'game console' for serious email. M$ Windows, it is just a toy, don't believe me, read the warranty/EULA.
I sometimes find myself feeding the trolls and adding to off topic threads, whilst sometimes, somewhat justified, it is hardly contributing to the/. ethos and spirit.
That is quite correct. That is not open source code, it is viral source code. Once you have looked at it or even if there a rumours you have looked at it or even if you haven't looked at it, you are deemed to have memorised every line of code and if you accidentally use, or coincidentally mimic any line or part of a line of code, you will have committed copyright infringement and you company and software project will be scheduled for immediate M$ sanctioned legal termination.
This public, you can look, but you can't touch or redistribute source, is like spreading a virtual contagion of copyrighted code. The new copyright wars 75 years beyond the life of the author. This marks the dawning of a new open source project, no actual program, just the sheer bloody minded copyrighting of every imaginable line of code for open use or how ever many continuous lines of code or characters are required to achieve a legal copyrightable entity.
The basis of all laws is morality. So in a current societal sense, the majority do hold to caring and sharing, hence by your own definition you would be considered unfit, please make the appropriate evolutionary adjustment with out the requirement for additional legislation, thank you;).

Actually the main difference is providing a disciplined learning environment. A formal regulated learning experience, that also prepares the student for the formal regulated working experience. In terms of feedback, it actually provides feedback in both direction to ensure, what is being taught can effectively be learnt, and whether the learning load can be increased or whether it should be decreased, hopefully in a more interactive continually adjusted manner, rather than a once per year review, of the previous year for the following year (a 3 year cycle for poor learning experiences). Social interaction, social experience are also a very important part educational experience, not to be ignored.
So the formal learning environment provides a lot more than simple electronic tutorial (net or cd much the same). Except perhaps for live broadband interactive experience but then of course you are just exchanging a live physical meeting for a live electronic meeting, whilst of course that would be very workable, the technology is jut no quite broadly available enough yet (lots and lots of bandwidth, big screen high resolution displays).
So what Berkeley is doing is just being really smart about shifting data transmission costs from itself to google, a pretty smart thing to do. Now of course, other universities need to be just as cunning and arrange to have their adds stuck in front of Berkeley's lectures to make it look like their work;).
Of course for my self I always found the lecture to be pretty poor learning environment and prefer the prac or tutorial, perhaps this will allow for a complete shift in focus, with an emphasis on tutorial and practical work, with professionally produced, view in your own time lectures/documentaries.
Do you want to know why long life batteries are a dangerous weapon. Take a large electric model aircraft, add gps, a really long life battery, and a compressed air storage tank for bacteriological weapons. You now have an intercontinental cruise missile system, to small to be effectively detected by radar and that could effectively target large congregations of people, like sporting events. It would appear that at the moment humanity lacks the maturity to deal with efficient long life power supplies:(.
So what you are saying it is now a criminal offence to forget your password, and you are guilty until you can prove your innocence.
Now according to the law and you are actually innocent until you are proven guilty, is not the court required to prove you did not actually forget.
Consider you have a severe accident and suffer brain damage with memory loss the result, you will now spend you recovery in prison.
Now a law enforcement officer has supreme power, plant an encrypted file on your computer and leave you in jail until you can guess the password.
To repeat an age old one for the umpteen time, M$ does not warrant that their OS is free of viruses at delivery or that it in any way secure, but somehow you as the customer now have to warrant the software is secure and is free of viruses (that could allow the unknown storage of encrypted files on your system) and now 'YOU' will go to prison if your computer is hacked.
So what you are saying is if you are selling bandwidth, you are entitled to lie and not actually allow that bandwidth to be filled with data. Cool, I will now offer packet shaped 100Mbit service, it is just unfortunate that I consider any attempt to actually send data down the 100mbit service I am selling, is "Stealing", as I am only selling the bandwidth, not actual data travelling across the network, that costs extra.
Any complaints about the service or data from or to competitors will be packet shaped to 1 bit per hour, regardless of data fees paid.
So if ISPs are having bandwidth problems, they should stop fucking lying to customers, and stop attempting sell what they do not have!
The simple solution is manual human review of search results. If google staff do it, it is of course very expensive, so it is very unlikely to happen as better search results will not produce a better profit (the results just have to be somewhat better than the competitors) just a significant increase in cost.
The other of course is a user review of search results by simply blocking unwanted results (google patented this, unfortunately, rumour has it, they pilfered the idea and knowingly perjured themselves), the big catch with this is of course if a major advertiser with google, like ebay, is continually blocked (if I want to buy something from ebay I will look for it on ebay), they wont be happy when their pages are ranked in the hundreds rather than flooding the first few pages.
So at the moment, if those spam sites are full of google addwords generating revenue for the spammer and google, does google really care and if the spam site has nothing else of value, clicking the google add word to get away from it becomes a viable google tactic to generate more google addword revenue.
Consider this, the best search engine will produce the result you want on the first page, you click and you are gone. You have not read any adds, you haven't clicked any add words, you haven't hung around to look at a few more pages of search results. Having a really, actually, good search engine does not suit google's corporate bottom line, of course marketing the opposite of reality does;).
Using this is actually very bad in marketing terms.
"Do you want the Linux that works with Windows? Or the one that doesn't?"
As it inherently creates doubts about the product you are trying to sell. Novell is again self destructing in it's competitors, M$, favour.
The whole point of Novell competing against Redhat is stupid. They both represent small market share.
You, if you have any real sense, target the player with the greatest market, the one who is the most vulnerable especially after a series of very public blunders, the one that provides you the greatest fiscal benefit with success.
Novell and Redhat should be working together to cripple M$, that where the billions of dollars are. Novell is just demonstrating there lack of sound business judgement, yet, again.
Personally I would like to see the spectrum opened up to the public for wireless mesh networking. Everything does not have to based upon greed, what happened to governments being a public service rather than a corporate profit centre.
Yeah, why pick on Google for that, there are plenty of other evil, permanently in beta, privacy invasive reasons why they suck. The 'Googlites', the continuing adventures of the Internet proctologists;).
Now of course if planetary core formation occurs prior to stellar ignition, there is nothing to see at any inter-stellar distance, as planetary formation would be completely obscured by the dust cloud.
Apparently it is necessary. Here is the amendment. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".
So, 'Contract Law', the basis upon which contracts can be contested cannot be written so that they will break the constitution and specifically that amendment.
So a countries constitutions does not limit the actions of government they more specifically create the basis upon and limits to the laws that the government enacts, and those laws limit our activities (including politicians), and like duh, those principles remain the same for most democratic countries, my my, doesn't your racism stand out proud and defiant in it's ignorance.
Actually the misunderstanding is yours. The constitution, governs the criminal laws and in turn the criminal laws govern civil laws. Any right given by the constitution can not in any way shape or form be over ridden criminal law and in turn no contract condition can in any way shape or form over ride criminal law, as such and by extension no contract condition can in any way shape or form over ride any right given by the constitution, the idea is laughable, the typical corporate idiots bluff, just to forces people to launch litigation, at which time the corporation settles out of court, of course the government should in fact seek criminal redress against the corporation for contracts that infringe criminal law, let alone the constitution.
So in fact it is a criminal act for someone to impede your freedom of speech, of course with the current US administration you can expect no action to be taken, except for them to seek that the contract condition be extended to cover criticism of el presidente.
The catch with that, is the greater the punishment, the greater the burden off proof, a dramatic unsupportable increase in cost. The real problem is children, surprise, surprise are immature and will not act always act responsibly which is why they are supervised in the first place.
So how do you force children to act like responsible adults, think about that for just a bit more than just a knee jerk response, and before attempting to create a legal nightmare. Children are children, and they will act like children, they are not responsible adults and should not and are not treated as such. Bullying is not a failure of the child it is a failure of effective supervision, and it is in reality those adults paid to supervise the behaviour of children who should suffer the reprimand.
As for cyber bullying, sure if it is on a school network, but beyond that for what is an adult communications network, let your children play in that environment unsupervised, and don't be surprised when they get hurt. So the real problem is the complete lack of an internet and communications network suitable for children, one that is controlled and supervised and completely separate to the adult communications network.
The whole article is about misdirection. Rather than tackling the real issue, that Linux is good enough and represents a major saving in terms of software licence fees and software patent issues. Software has already very much become noting but refinements upon what has already been produced, and in this area open source software thrives as it provides the most cost effective environment for doing that kind of work.
It is all about selling hardware and providing services and a free software layer on top just means that the hardware and services can be more cost effectively supplied, add to that the hardware manufactures maintain far greater control when using open source software, rather than being told by M$ what they will and will not do.
Now throw the zune phone in the mix and why would any M$ competitors be stupid enough to subsidise a competing product by paying for software licences on their own products. Licence fees that will enable M$ to sell their hardware at a loss, complete with licence fee free software, to gain market share.
Nah, the only relevant thing is how much google paid for youtube, once they declared that value for sharing low res videos they were screwed. I bet the execs at google wish they had never heard of youtube, it's got to be giving them nightmares by now.
As for the term 'pirates' the copyrightists should start looking for new derogatory term for copyright infringers, because pirate is now the cool term that people of all ages are happy to use, and that is as a direct result of copyrightists idiotic, back firing, marketing efforts. Perhaps than can try some word play on, mass media corporate executives, RIAA lawyers and ferrets;).
It would appear that google marketing certainly has convinced some windrones that google is representative of open source software, but the reality is, google is just another proprietary marketing company, much the same as M$, just better a hiding it and it makes far fewer public blunders.
PS. from an open source point of view it would be the "great technicolour hope", open source, multi cultural, multi racial, multi discipline by default.
I can provide a even better target for law enforcement, the treo that do by far the most harm to society, the treo that will take the most lives, the treo that will steal the most from consumers, the treo that will steal the most tax payer dollars, the treo who deservedly belong in prison more than anybody else due to the long term and severe harm of their actions. The corrupt corporate executive, the corrupt lobbyist, and the corrupt politician.
There are thousands of them out there and working together the kill and harm millions, if effort was taken off every other crime and focused on them, with a sincere a genuine effort to prosecute all of them, the benefit to society would be immediately apparent, the savings in terms of not not only money but in lives saved and in the prevention of actual physical harm being caused to people would be enormous.
The one catch is that it involves sport, the haven of jock straps, so who cares in this particular forum. Hey, if this particularly nasty fellow were to give his players spiked clubs to use on the field to increase ratings, it might be considered a good way of thinning down the jock strap population.
The flip side is censorship of blogs by targeting the web host. Perhaps a civil suit by bloggers targeting web hosts might be appropriate in setting a precedent in the opposite direction. The web host is the problem, their indifference to their clients rights is the problem.
It needs to be made quite a bit more painful for a web host to willy nilly take down their clients web site at the first sight of a lawyer and blatantly infringe upon the client freedom of speech, a criminal act rather than the alternative simple civil slander.
Of course in the UK like in many other countries the difference in libel is the difference between couching statements in opinion rather than in fact, whether you believe it or not makes no difference, you have to be able to prove your statements true in you present them as facts.
The parallel universe theory is just a way of getting infinity back into a currently scientifically defined finite universe. Of course you can simplify the whole issue by having the universe as being infinite, rather than finite, but that creates a problem with time as constant, a finite dimension, as any dimension of an infinite universe has to be infinite itself, so motion is the more applicable infinite dimension in an infinite universe.
