Chill dude. My experience was seeing too many kids raised with VBstudio thinking the world revolves around that and its wizards. I have yet to see too many kids raised thinking the world revolves around Linux based IDEs.
On the other hand, they might actually grow up knowing how to write proper code instead of wysiwyg-clicky-wizard type code autogeneration, and contribute to a better Linux platform.
To quote: Q. Is Microsoft committed to making any future updates to the Office 2003 XML Reference Schemas available under the same terms and conditions as the licenses offered on November 17, 2003?
A. Yes. Microsoft is committed to making updates to the Office 2003 XML Reference Schemas available under the same terms and conditions as the licenses offered on November 17, 2003. At the same time, Microsoft reserves the right to change its policy and/or the terms of the licenses with respect to future versions of Office.
So what does that mean? They are "committed" but on the other hand "reserve the right to change"? How is that committed?
Does this mean they can create an update to Office, alter slightly the schemas, close it and/or require royalties, etc?
Well almost all of the news and the rest of the front page is dedicated to how they are cracking down on illegal file sharing, including the drivel on how the high CD prices are justified.
It does put into perspective what the RIAA is all about.
(i guess i should have selected "plain old text") no, IE is probably the buggy one. it compensates for IDIOTIC web designer mistakes, like a double in the html page which creates the huge row. this is your culprit: <TR HEIGHT="676" CELLPADDING="0" ALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="820">

and not mozilla.
I love firefox, but what makes me doubt a lot any big change in the browser percentages:
- A lot of people have no clue what is a "browser", my daily diet of frustration:
me: "open your browser and typ.."
them: "slow down, what's a browser?"
me: "explorer, mozilla?"
them: "eh?"
me: "what do you use to look at internet stuff?"
them: "ah you mean open the internet?" or
them: "ah you mean click on the funny 'e'?" or
them: "ah you mean www?" So how do you convice a person not to open their www but to open firefox? - Microsoft still ships a lot of copies of the O/S, each one with that funny 'e' preloaded and ready. It's everywhere, every PC you want to buy, every laptop... feeding the drones wanting to open their internet.
we should all just click on these ads. many many times. after all, doesn't linuxtoday get the money? and if you're a linux user i doubt you'll be swayed by a ten:one ratio of meaningless vertical bars...
Well the interesting thing about the absolut LED ad in the bar I saw was that it didn't seem like it was moving itself... If you looked at the LEDs directly you wouldn't see anything. Swinging your vision across the room the writing would appear for a second. Hence even more of a subtle/subliminal effect.
however why didn't I think of this myself before! doh...
This I actually saw a long time ago in a bar in London, '91 or '92... I was chatting away with some friends and I kept thinking Absolut, Absolut... that feeling like you just saw a sign for it somewhere. After a while of this subliminal pounding I notice a vertical row of bright red lights in a corner. Didn't think twice until I moved my head away from it and saw "Absolut" floating in mid air.
Essentially just moving your eyes around the room and going past these lights a person would get "Absolut" written in mid-air for them...
If I ever wanted a gift as much as anything, it was a row of lights like that! Many very useful purposes for an object like that come to mind... spelling out "Go into my bedroom and undress..."
Shouldn't something like this have some subliminal regulation?
This just all looks like a classic case of shouting out some blatantly false statement and running... Leaves behind a trail of people bouncing up and down trying to drown out the initial totally false message.
We should just point out the idiocy of the book and move on.
(ps/. already?)

Wish they would open up their platform to other email systems. Why limit it just to Microsoft junk.
Uh, I'll make sure I let you know so that we can savour the moment together. How about that?

well sorry, but i have better things to do that read every slashdot post.
i call bullshit on this troll... compile with gcc == your end product must use gpl???
You CAN get the PDF specifications directly from the Adobe, it has not been reverse engineered: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/pdf/ind ex_reference.html
Not that I really object to paying ridiculous prices for crap.

and by accident nukes the home dir? is there any responsibility from the part of the software designer?
how does one write so much.... uh... crap?
how does it read those mini CDs if it has a slot in CD player and no tray?

unless you are going in for the science value of it.
consider:
- your time
- the cost of USB/CF sticks
- the usability of the setup (slow)
all of it would add up to more than the $130 or whatever for the HD.
it would be just a case of hacking up your own custom kernel and mounting the USB stick.

anyone have any experience on any performance benefit from running linux as terminal on older hardware?
