If you play an account for 6 months, sell, rinse and repeat than I'd have said income tax as it's a trade.
Play for 3-4 years and sell up on quitting then it's a capital gain.
Of course, if they tax it as income tax then you should be able to deduct your expenses, cost of game purchase, monthly fees for game, proportion of ISP charges, etc.
About 30 million people own iPods. But Microsoft owns more than 90% of the worldwide operating systems market (compared with Apple's roughly 5%), representing some 300 million people. The company expects to have 200 million Vista users within two years."
And therein lies the reason that Microsoft have already found themselves in front of courts for antitrust infractions.
Illegally using a monopoly position to expand into other markets.
Wonder if anybody will do anything about it this time ?
It seems unfair that a private company should be able to bend language to their will to mislead consumers
Where have you been ? It's called advertising and it isn't just private companies that do it. You'll find that political "spin doctors" are doing exactly the same thing.
I know for a certainty that there is at least one freshly installed Linux box in the server room of http://www.glenmorangie.com/ because I put it there. It's doing file sharing/storage. Hardware costs low, server OS costs nil, CAL costs nil and setup costs negligable (doesn't take long to copy a few stock config files and change a couple of domain names and IP addresses). You couldn't buy an proprietary operating system solution for what the hardware cost, indeed why would anybody want to pay more for the operating system than the hardware that runs it.
The web proxy and firewall are linux based network appliances as well.
I think this is where the most benefit is to be had from linux deployments, in the server room, not necessarily on the desktop as an office system.
You must not have read the transcript of his prior deposition where SCO/Caldera DID in fact ask him about ex-wives, criminal records, if he had ever been fired from a job for misconduct, etc.

I'm kind of intrigued, what is it that you run on windows that you want to run on your mac but can't ?
So that when they give copies away as part of court settlements thay can say "look, this is what it sells for" and point to the full retail price.
I was there a couple of weeks ago, I can assure you that they are correct

England is a country, the big problem is the number of people who think United Kingdom = England.

You miss the whole point of Slackware.
It's the OS that Pat compiles to use himself, he just happens to release it to others as well.

My Sony Erickson K750i has this built in to it.
Uses the joystick thingy on it to control the pointer over bluetooth.
Why is it news that you have to use hacks on one phone to do something that is native on others ?
Same here, the service suits me at the price they ask.
They provide free static IPs so I run my own mailserver.
It's a sad state of affairs that worms, trojans and viruses are probably more tested before release than the anti-virus software.
They're probably better tested than some companies operating systems, that's why they work....
