Also, the long term resale-value on rocks is near infinitely greater than on a Mac. I can sell a rock that is 180,000,000 years old for a significant fraction of what it was worth when it formed.
I got my three single 64 bit CPU Sun Ultra 1's for $12.50 (each). Yours is a better deal, of course. If you don't mind evile Sun (non S-bus) hardware. heh.
You know, you're right. And we can all tweak and fork our own standards to our heart's delight. Nobody outside our closed,...er... open community will care and all will be well in the universe.
We've spun into recursion here. Near as I can tell you just called him a name. After snipping little bits of his message and ignoring the rest. All I can say is: pot kettle black.
However, Native American probably isn't the correct term, either, as they were immigrants as well. They just showed up to claim the land earlier. And there's evidence, which of course has been repressed, of other peoples who quite possibly were here before the people who presently claim the 'Native American' title. However, the 'Native Americans' now have attained the political and enforcement power to 'rebury' any such evidence that is unearthed.
Actually, it's countries that are developing them who have a proven history of ruthless attacks in the past. And, really, it's not 'countries' at all. It's dictatorial regimes who've siezed power in countries where there is clearly no democratic basis for them to have power.
We'd likely not invade Canada over a chemical weapons program, or Sweden.
Is there an Apple section at Best Buy? I guess I hadn't noticed one locally. But since I can only afford Macs capable of running OS 9, I buy my Mac software on eBay.
Once you branch out beyond the standard claw and ball-peen hammer, speciality hammers do get expensive. So to any hammer enthusiast, a whole bag of different types of hammers would be a great gift. Or perhaps focus on getting them one good hammer. Perhaps a nice Estwing Rock Hammer, which is always a nice thing to have.
Being able to adjust the f-stop, shutter speed, and exposure values has nothing to do with the camera being (or not being) a SLR.
However, it has everything to do with being able to set your depth of field however you want, when composing the shot. I suppose there are experts who can get the kind of focus depth they want 'in their head' with a rangefinder camera, but probably not very many of them.
Yes. I had 'plug and play Linux' from Yggdrasil in the fall of 1993. The Boot floppy/CD combo took you straight into X to do the install from.

It wouldn't have cost them anything but typing 'make' on a Solaris x86 box, but they would not do it.
You have evidence or a cite to back this claim up?
There are tons and tons more third-party tools for Solaris/Sparc than there are for Solaris/x86. It's quite concievable that whatever toolkit they used for the Solaris/Sparc port of IE would be an arduous task, or impossible to build for Solaris/x86. Certainly it wouldn't be simply typing 'make.' Don't be ridiculous.
Wrong. They only cost 'the system' less if they're insolvent and can't pay for their own healthcare, i.e. only if there is a 'the system' which guarantees free medical care. Under a system where we all have the freedom to pay for our own healthcare, they might even 'help keep costs down' by keeping the volume of paid-for health care up.
The 'entitlements' thinking of most people is staggering. Things change radically if you think in terms where healthcare isn't a gimmie-gimmie.
I've chosen not to breed. I've chosen not to smoke. I eat properly and excercise. And I pay for the excessive health care expenses of people who do those things.
I can choose what Insurace carrier to subscribe to. If the government establishes a monopoly, I am S.O.L. and will just end up paying so bloatboy can enjoy his cheeseburgers and his 4 pack a day habit.
No thanks. It doesn't even have to be called 'socialist' for it to suck bigtime.
And Microsoft's competitor in the Web market, Netscape, is widely known for introducing their own proprietary HTML tags. 'Open standards be damned' appears to have been their only standard. They were quite keen on tying their 'free' web browser to their expensive proprietary Web Server product line.
This doesn't change the fact that Microsoft is not particularly 'open' but let's get off the high horse with regard to Netscape, and what the Web Browser marketplace would look like if they had 'won' instead of Microsoft.
The fact that you had to reach back to a case happening in the mid 1980's is telling. You can be assured that the regulatory agencies have evolved considerably since then.
Lots of people in the 'Linux community' these days think more in terms of 'Not-Microsoft' than they do of 'Linux.' Which really isn't a good thing, but the number of refugee communities (i.e. the Amiga and OS/2 folks) who have flooded Linux and OSS over the last decade is significant.

That would be a logical AND.
When has any slashdot geek ranting and lusting over an AMD processor ever been logical?

Gee. I thought you were going to link to somewhere that there was direct evidence of a US corporation executing opponents/competitors with a bullet.
Instead you just relinked into the usual paranoid rant about a hypothetical possibility of that happening.

Why Redmond? This move is killing more proprietary Unix boxes, not Windows boxes.

Is this like the Emacs extension that does a web browser?
What's the world coming to? Is there a zippy fortunes extension for BBEdit yet? How about the Sokoban game?
heh
Sounds like a good opportunity for a malevolent trojan.
Somehow hit that routine and increment the 'bad password try' password a handful of times and disable the machine 'permanently'.
Wouldn't any machine that you put the drive in need to 'respect' the ATA password scheme? What if I put the drive in an old box?
Yes. I had 'plug and play Linux' from Yggdrasil in the fall of 1993. The Boot floppy/CD combo took you straight into X to do the install from.

open source isn't about tactics; its power comes from zealotry.

And your competitor gets the same ability without even having to pay for ths software.
Over time, smokers actually cost the system less.
Wrong. They only cost 'the system' less if they're insolvent and can't pay for their own healthcare, i.e. only if there is a 'the system' which guarantees free medical care.

This is Slashdot, though. 'Fast' graphics cards that are obsolete within 6 months is a more typical 'investment' here.
