They started paying dividends a few years back, something they never did before. That will reduce their cash pile as it is now in the hands of shareholders.
It's not that difficult, you just need to find a definite basket case like SCO, and wait for long enough. Shorting it to make money on the fall might not work, as there is always the possibility that it goes up before it goes down.
It was more like 50bn of sales. The losses on these sales were 5bn.
The crash started in Israel on Sunday, continued in Asia in the early hours of Monday morning and finished in the US on Tuesday afternoon - (all times with reference to Central European Time). Most of the positions were in the French and German markets. They fell a lot more than other markets, and this is probably the reason, but certainly the crash was happening anyway, and that's why they had losses they had to close out on in the first place.
An identical twin has an individual soul, so I guess a cloned person would as well. Certainly their upbringing would be different, and that is a large part of what makes a person.
Most of the ATMs I've seen run on a stripped down version of either NT4 or Windows 2000. These days, with all the bugs ironed out, they seem to work just fine.
NT hasn't really been a microkernel since the display drivers were moved to kernel-space in NT4. That makes it less microkernel than linux - X runs in user-space.
Unfortunately for you, the opposite is not quite true.
This court rulings says that European law does not require telcos to supply information, and it does not prohibit it either. Spain does not have any national law on the subject, so Telefonica are not required to supply this information. If Holland does have such a law, then the likes of Chello would be required under Dutch law to supply the information.
It is undoubtedly true that inventions can be implemented purely in software. But the rules say that certain types of inventions are excluded from patent protection. These include methods of carrying on business, mathematical algorithms, and computer software programs.
If people want a change to these rules, it is up to parliament to decide on it. The European Parliament considered it recently, and decided not to change the rules relating to software patents. I don't think any any proposal in the history of the Euro Parliament has been defeated by such a wide margin as the the software patents proposal was.
Yes, but once these patent trolls start pissing off the mega corps sufficiently, something will be done. It may not be exactly what we are looking for here on slashdot, but something will certainly change.
I think the Nokia Communicator 9000 was the first Smartphone, certainly in Europe. It was first introduced in 1996, and presumably in development for some time before that.
Even if you have a "hack proof" media player, you can still put a mic in front of the speakers, or run a cable from the speaker socket to the mic socket. That's how people copied things before computers made it a lot easier.
I've no idea what the boot time on my Mandriva machine is, as I last did it 169 days ago when upgrading to 2007 Spring. I expect the next time I reboot will when I get round to upgrading to 2008.

It probably isn't open source software if you can't get hold of the source because someone has taken some BSD code and closed it.
I read somewhere that something like 90% of large companies use free and open source software somewhere in their business.
This probably isn't on their desktop machines of course. It is more likely to be things like web. dns and email servers, and network routers.
Surely if most people use Apache, they also use something like php along with it? So why doesn't the php licence appear near the top of the list?
The investigating judge has already cleared him of fraud. He is facing trial for some lesser offences.

You can use UAC over an RDP or VNC connection. If vncserver can send the appropriate signals to the dialogue box, I would have thought anything could.
They can google for a solution, provided their network connection is working properly. In my experience of Vista, that isn't always the case.

It goes to the Court of Appeal before the House of Lords. Then, as it relates to European law, it could go to the European Court of Justice.
As the courts are interpreting European Law, the British Parliament can't reverse the court's decision with new legislation.

They probably have a few Lotus 123 related patents which they could use against their accounts department.

I guess you probably could, if you used some sort of Cygwin setup as your shell.

Does two working implementations mean for example Firefox and Seamonkey or Konqueror and Safari, or do they have to be unrelated implementations?

It also has remote desktop, and the ability to log into Windows Server domains.
Since when did Slashdotters read the article anyway?
Billion means the same thing in proper english as in american english. It is milliard in french and a few other european languages.
