Shesh, at least quote what I said correctly... and I'll even bold what you chose to cut out that applies to apple in this case. The rest were just other examples of things I'm more likly to pay for.
I'm more likely to purchases something open source, Linux related or at least available for Linux as this case my be. *NOTE* I even said that this case was for the "at least available for" part of the comment you choose to cut out and ignore.
So, if you continue reading, Apple opening the source isn't what I was getting at. I'ts making the iTunes service available to linux.
Care to provide a study or other proof indicating I'm less likely to purchases? If anything I'm more likely to purchases something open source, Linux related or at least available for Linux as this case my be.
Id have no problem buying the cds from my favorite distro if they went that way, fortunately they don't so I don't have to pay anything. I payed for a boxed set of redhat 5 back in the day before broadband, and I'll continue purchasing things when they are easier to obtain by purchasing.
In fact the other day I was wanting to use iTunes, I would have rather payed the 99c to hear a song then have to download it a couple times to find the version that wont ruin my speakers. Unfortunately i checked out the iTunes site and found out I couldn't use it, so it was easier to download it.
Yes I know I'm just one example, but Ive got karma to burn as well =P
So I guess the question is, instead of changing email clients, why not just use one of the many web fourm wares?
I guess I just dont get whats so great about this because it looks to me like MS is mixing things that dont really need to be mixed, again. Sounds like a GUI frontend for invision, ubb, phpbb, or one of the other many web fourm wares to me.
Ive got to again mention the SNES game earthbound.
When you encounter an enemy, the screen spirals in indicating a battle, when you over power them by so much, the enemys begin to run away from you, but if you are attacked the spiral turns green, spirals back out giving you an instant victory. You still get all the points and experince from winning, just without having to go through the hassel of actually fighting.
I'm just guessing, I'm not tax accountant, but was in the process of starting up a new business, and after talking to my tax person, left with the impression that any money you spend on anything to do with the business can be deducted.
Easy math example: If in a month you used your car for 70% business related activity and paid 10$ for an oil change, you would be able to deduct 7$.
Buy 30 windows licenses at 100$ for 100% business related activity, and deduct $3,000.
Also when you deduct these things, IIRC, your really doing this: Revenue - Deductions = Taxable amount.
More simple math using above example: If you pull in 10,000$ normally you would be taxed this amount, but once adding your deductions to this, 10,000 - 3,000 = 7000 taxable.
But I didn't pay too much attention in accounting and we didn't touch too much on taxes, but this is how the preparer described it to me.
YOU can't and HE can't. Only the Slashdot admins can. He is saying Slashdot user statistics are "unveiled" to arbitrary web sites.
Eh, try reading it again...
Imagine the statistics that one could gather about the slashdot readership simply by processing the access log from a slashdotted site. One could answer questions like "how many Microsoft employees read slashdot from work?" or "how many people read slashdot from China?".
The poster was saying that the uni students could read THEIR access log and use the IPs that come from slashdot to make some predictions on the sloshdot user base.
Yeah you can do all this with the toolset. There are a few how-to's on various scripting sights.
You can specify exact times, ranges, am, pm, dusk, dawn, day, night.
Can also be used to change the types of monsters seen in an area, like in a forest at night have some wolves prowling around, but at night you get attacked by bats. The toolset is quite verisital.
Go fill out best buys online applications (you have to because the will no longer give out paper applications, they direct you to an internet machine in store) and count the number of illegal questions.
Yeah, best buy sucks, but hey its money; not that they will ever call me back.
I was just wondering the other day, since OSX is based off of UNIX, wouldnt this make it easier to create Linux and OSX Games? Since doom3 is supposed to have native linux support, and now that OSX is based off of UNIX wouldn't it make it many many times easier to port the linux code over to something OSX could use?
Also whats the correct term to use when refering to an entire apple system? Most poeple still call em macs, but just dosnt seem right anymore. Im considering more and more latly to get an apple system instead of building a new system this winter and stick with linux.
95% of all computers are trusted to a manufacturer to cant get their shit together enough to remember to re-register their domain name, not ONCE but TWICE!
And to think people "rely" on this company for mission critical applications... absolutly wonderfull.
Well it remains, if weapons sites are to be blocked, both pro and con should be blocked. They are both about weapons.
I could care less about the free-speach or the fair time implications, im talking from the "duh" point of view. If your going to block a specific catagory, you have to block all of the category not parts you dont agree with.
Yeah, but its not just blocking "gun" sites, its blocking political sites (selectivly) based on their stance, in this case pro-"gun", while allowing browsers to get to anti-gun sites.
If they are going to be blocking sites which defend the right to obtain and own a weapon they should also be blocking sites which argue the oppisite, since its also a weapons site after all, just because its anti-weapon, dosnt make it a non-weapon site.
If I make two sites, one anti-mcdonalds and the other pro-mdconalds, arent they both resturants? If the software blocked resturaunts wouldnt you expect both to be blocked or just the pro-mcdonalds site?
I wish youd come "own" this debian box of mine, ive been trying explit after exploit for various services that are old with out much luck.
The box in question i used for a home gateway in 99/00 and just put it under the bed once done with it. I cant for the life fo me remember the root password, I do have several user accounts that do me no good. There are a few thigs that i would like to get off the box but cant mount the floppy or change the network interface properties, booting in single usermode requires root password, and booting directly into a shell mounts the file systems r/o. I could download a single floppy distro but am having more fun trying to take advantage of an old exploit. So far ive typed out two proftpd explites with no success, im moving onto php/apache next.
In the two jobs I've had that has givin bonuses, ive received an extra 100 in my paycheck for two years at one place and 50$ my first year there. And another place would have a big fancy (read: gettogether at a hall and serve horible expensive food.) dinner and 50$ gift certificates for the mall (for tech support, and the higher levels got more)
yeah, it switches desktops on a wheel, its no real 3d desktop, its far from impressive.
Dont fret, i use kde on a daily basis, its the only dekstop i use, except whne im at school and i still dont think 3ddesktop is cool or worth using, its a pain in the ass, why shoud i press some key combo to bring up the 3d chooser when i can just move the mouse to the corner of the screen and have it flip desktops in a fraction of a second, far less time then bringing up some 3d chooser anyway.
was able to be played with just the left hand. It would have to be the left because the directional pad is on the left, but everything could be accomplished with just two extra buttons (L and select) as you could with the 5 buttons for the other hand (a,b,x,y,r).
While earthbound isnt a FPS it might be something to check out for ideas on ways to merge buttons efficintly.
hmm, interesting, any reasons why it was never included in the other classes? I dont see why the IP would actually matter other then because its not included in the others. Seems a wee bit short sighted.
I could look it up but I'll ask for the sake of asking, is it a 'feature' of ipv6 (not sure if this is even a relivent question, as i havnt bothered to learn a thing about ipv6, yet) ? It seems like this would be a great 'feature' to include to help move people over and save bandwidth.
I've seen people mention bandwidth issues (on the senders end), and it's a perfectly valid issue, which brings up this point, as it would save the sender a tremendous ammount of bandwidth.
Why isnt the multicast feture of TCP/UDP taken advantage of more?
Any kind of webcasting, be it video or music, or even game servers would require much much less bandwidth and processing power if they send multicast packets out and have the routers along the way replicate and forward packets to thier next hops as needed. I assume there has got to be a good reason since its not taken advantage of, anyone care to comment?

uhm, its a business expense?

>> Really, I'm not trolling.
yeah dont mind them, most people here over use "troll" and "trolling" to the point where it dosnt really mean anything anymore.
A troll is a poster who continually posts the same thing, NGAA and "been copying for xx minutes" are examples of real trolls/trolling.

Its looking pretty nice to me, like another poster said, its more of a shell for the different aplications to create their window in.

may not be the best anology but idont see whats so dumb about it, at least ive got the balls to post under a username...
Yeah, but its not just blocking "gun" sites, its blocking political sites (selectivly) based on their stance, in this case pro-"gun", while allowing browsers to get to anti-gun sites.

..the "ive been copying files in/with "X" for 17 minutes" troll got his own story!
Have you seen what's already out?
yeah, it switches desktops on a wheel, its no real 3d desktop, its far from impressive.
Dont fret, i use kde on a daily basis, its the only dekstop i use, except whne im at school and i still dont think 3ddesktop is cool or worth using, its a pain in the ass, why shoud i press some key combo to bring up the 3d chooser when i can just move the mouse to the corner of the screen and have it flip desktops in a fraction of a second, far less time then bringing up some 3d chooser anyway.

While earthbound isnt a FPS it might be something to check out for ideas on ways to merge buttons efficintly.
personally i was waiting for the "ive been copying the jig for 17 minutes now!" troll
hmm, interesting, any reasons why it was never included in the other classes? I dont see why the IP would actually matter other then because its not included in the others. Seems a wee bit short sighted.
