I would say the law suit would be in the mail now. Plus it is one more bit of software that some one will find a Security Hole and use it to fuck my PC.
You could just rip them to DivX. A good DivX rip should be sweet. A guy at my work rip my LOTR DVD to DivX and I could not tell the difference between them. Or there is OGM that is a pretty good format.
I know that this does not answer that question but it gives you ideas
I read it and it scream M$ propergrander but then he does work for M$ and that is to be excepted. The thing that made me laugh was he said about SBS. Now I have work with Windows for years and SBS was shit. You might be able to run all that shit on one box but 9 times out of 10 it ran like crap. Cause Exchange does not like working a server that is an AD casue both of them are after as much memory and CPU as they can get. If the server is not built right(hardware) then you are going to get a big performance hit as well.
This do more with less is all well and good but I would still not put a SQL server on the same server and Exchange cause I know there are going to be performance problems. And there are a few app that this rule applies to.
At the end of it all he is so full of his own BS it makes me sick.
Have we?? Well some people would say we have not they might even say it was a big fucking show justify the amount of money spent trying to get to the moon. And some might say it was a base for the Aliens that created the human race. In any case we have not been there of late, no true study has been made about the moon and the possiblity of life there.
But fuck it let go on up there and strip the living shit out of it. Hell we have done such a good job here.
Or they could use the money to look at a replacement of Silicon for solar collectors. They are doing a good job with replacements for it in Computers. And how do you know the moon is sterile? We have not been there is years. No one has look deep below the surface. We as humans think we know so much about where life could be but yet it is all based off what we understand now, just like the time when we thought the world was flat or that the earth was the center of the system. All proven wrong.
I know Coldfusion is a bit of a pipe dream but if we got it going then we would be setup and the need to butch the planet or other planets in the future would not be needed.
The main point is that why spend all that money getting shit from other planets when it could be better spent here, now.
I think that we have fucked up our own planet enough with mining without heading out to space and fucking up others. And saying they are already fucked is a copout, we have no real idea about the moon or mars or any of the other planets as far what could be living on there.
What they need to do instead of wasting money on this sort of enengy production is look at finding better ways of using solar power. It is free and it does not requre the need to blow holes in anything to get access to it. And then there is Coldfusion which seems like a pretty good idea as well and does not need for us to leave the planet.
Well lets be fair we do have a choice. And most of use make the choice to install other App cause most of the shit you get with Windows is piss weak and has more security holes that an Iraq family passing a US army truck full of trigger crazy solders:)
I think this is a bit of an over statment really. I heard that the linux desktop was dead about 2 years ago and yet there are people out there still putting money into making it work.
If people are putting money in then they must have a plan in place to recover the cost. This is not the.com days, people/companies do not just give money away anymore. Granted the info you have shown does not paint a good picture but when you hear of big company's looking at using Linux as a desktop E.g Telstra and IBM then these people must see that there is a future in the Linux desktop.
Plus the fact the Novell has just drop a shit load of money into getting Linux companies then they must have a pretty good buiness plan to make it work and the people to get it done.
From my point of view I think Steve over at Apple should pull his head out of his ass and get OSX running on X86 hardware and then jump into bed with IBM and Novell. Apple have a Unix Desktop that works, it is easy to use, there are company creating software for OSX and it does not have the problems that Windows has had with Virus and security.
There are some people at HP that need to get off the pipe. Fuck WMA, it is crap, total crap. I thought Apple would have told them to get stuffed.
Wishful thinking here - they should get OGG support going on the iPod. That is the main reason I will not get one.
Yea it would be good to see an OGG store, the main problem with OGG is that it does require a bit of CPU to work. And most of the players today have been geared more towards power saving and since the main formats like MP3 and AAC are not the hard on the CPU.
I have heard that they are porting Linux to iPod and it can get Ogg's running and 70% of realtime, And there is an Ogg player for sale now but it is not that wide spread.
I can see a bubble that could burst. When people start to understand that what they are getting on iTunes as far a format and bit rate encoding goes is pretty low quality. And I will not buy music on-line until they have a format that is as good as CD audio.
Now I can hear some of you now saying "But you can not hear the difference" Well that might be true if you are using an iPod or some other type of players but then if you look at the output that they can do then it is no wonder you can not hear a difference. But you put that same song though a good amp then you are going to hear how bad the encoding they use is.
And if you look at most of the major on-line music stores they are not using MP3. Why? I do not understand. WMA sounds like shit unless you use there lossless one, then you might just as well have it in a wav file.
The only formats that I would look at using at the mo is OGG and FLAC.
He said it was an open standard file format. Hence the reason you can get other programs other than FlashMX to create swfs..Net and C# are open standards but ASPX is not, just like the flash player.
And I can not see the point myself of needing to have a open source one. There one works fine, it comes as standard with pretty much all broswers. If there is not a open source one out there that works very well then I read into that most people out tere are happy with the closed one and have not seen the need to got hard out to create a open source one.
But as always you should be allowed to make a choice of what you want to run on your computer and I hope that someone makes an open source one that works well.
Yay more fucking crazy people in change of shit in the US. Who is next the head of the NSA moving over to run the MPAA?
THE END IN NEAR REPENT YOUR SINS
I think they are also going to over loo that fact that people that run production Linux system harden them and alot of that can be done at install time. This is an area where MS ahs fallen on its ass. I have spent many hour going though harden a Windows system(apart from 2003, it is pretty good out of the box). Which has not been the case when I have built Linux systems.
I am sure there are heaps of secirty holes in Linux but as has been stated it is packages add in not the core OS itself. Not to say there are none but that fact is that Linux has a lager developer base and since you can get access to the source it can be fixed quickly. This is were MS will never be able to compete, they had a limted resource.
Damn right. Note even Unix server have grunt of a Mainframe system(Note including the IBM Linux one). and as for running a big bank off Windows, MADNESS. I would be heading to my bank and asking for all my money and slapping the IT guys up side the head for been fucking dumb.
LONG LIVE THE MAINFRAME
Let me clear that up it should be a option for install then. How about that? And as for bloat I would not say windows is that bloated, I know of some Linux dist that I would consider more bloated than Windows.
Damn right. The crazy thing is most people have no idea that what they are getting is not as get and Audio CD, I use to encode my CDs down to OGG but I desided to re-do the whole lot in a lossless format casue I want to have the best sound I can get.
Compress formats are good for the moment but once it gets to the point where there is bandwidth a plenty all over the world then I think you will see a move to lossless formats and MP3, OGG, ACC etc will be nice foot note in computer history
Did they also delete there DivX Movies? Copy righted photos they might have downloaded off the net? and what about the games? also did they remove Kazar or what every file sharing program they might have used to get the music?
This story seems a bit Proper-gander-ish to me.
They need to be forced to follow the stands and not be allowed to alter them to force people to have to use there software. They should be forced to allow independent auditors free access to source code to make sure that they are not ripping off any GLP code to better enchane there software.
Also they should be forced to create the.Net framework to run on all platforms just like Java and Gecko.
The Java JRE should be installed by default with Windows along with Mozilla.
The use of computers for voting is such a bad idea. If you look at Diebold and now this, may be keeping it simple is the best way to go. At least with paper and pen you will not get a GPF error and have to reboot it.

Thanks Microsoft thank you very fucking much.

It still shocks me how many holes they find in IE. I guess that is the reason I stopped using IE years ago.
Have we?? Well some people would say we have not they might even say it was a big fucking show justify the amount of money spent trying to get to the moon. And some might say it was a base for the Aliens that created the human race. In any case we have not been there of late, no true study has been made about the moon and the possiblity of life there.

I am a bit of a hippy when it comes to this stuff

The questions is will it be better than the CPU IBM is building to the PS3. I love IBM they are great
Does anyone know if iTunes will support FLAC? I am going to be ripping all my CDs to FLAC with an OGG wrapper.
