You are almost so ignorant as to not desirve a response. I suspect you are an astroturfer perhaps
The reason all that second and third party middleware works so crapply is the reason Microsoft is being fined. Microsoft doesn't allow access to it's API and methods so others can compete on a level playing field. That is why they are a monopoly and are in hot water.
Besides that WMA and Microsofts other propritary formats are pure crap.
I am glad this got some editors attention. I submitted it yesterday afternoon. Now Hollowood and the recording business can smash some doors down in th EU too. Bastages. If I was in the EU I would be getting worked up plenty over this DMCA style crap.
It is getting apperent that Microsoft and I beleive SCO both have people paid to be active in posting to sites to spread FUD and disrupt them. It's not just you average AC trolling anymore. Groklaw had a big run of it last week. I ignore AC posting as well.
Why don't you give an example of how "trivial" finding out where the forged headers actually come from is. The headers might show it being rxed at some external mail server but in fact will not be a reliable indication of where it actually originated (which I bet is in the good old USoA)
I have got 10 at least from 5 different domains I own in the last 365 days or so. 4 don't have any email server or valid addys associated with them. I am the only user with a vailid email account on the other, not nice to see UCE ariving from that domain:(
I got one from such an address with a nice Microsoft exploit/trojan last week. To bad my desktop machine is Mandrake 9.2.:p
For all you Ham radio can die types here is some news for you all. I am going to be forced to run my 1200 watts PEP on HF all the time to overcome your interfence folks. Lots more people will be buying HF RF amplifiers. Instead of the lower power levels most have been running they will run the max as the rules allow for. "The minium power necessary to carry out communications" up to a max of 1200 watts PEP. They will be installing gain types of antennas instead of the usual dipole non gain types.
Bottom line don't try and out tech a techie and don't try to out geek a geek. All the packets you will be dropping and connection failing will make you wish you were back on your old dialup. You are not even close to know how screwed the interference is going to be to your beloved broadband over powerlines. While I simply am just doing what I legaly can to maintain communications from my licensed amateur radio station. You r man made interference will loose out in the end. everytime I hear that racket in my radio I am going to be on the phone to my power company complaining about the RF leak. (Not allowed under the current regulations which are not being waved.) They will have to come out and "fix" it. So good luck.
Canopy contorls a insignifant amount of Trolltech stock. Trolltech can do any thing it wants. Canopy contorls nothing.
If I but 5% of the stock in your company do I control anything? Do I get to help decisions about day to day operations? Does my 5% give me veto power over anything? Hell no, Canopy doesn't even have 5% I don't think. So as usuall the people who bring this up are wrong and don't have the facts..
Trolltech might sell SCO a license however and they can do that under the GPL
Hell The Constutition and Bill of Rights didn't count in the "war on drugs" (that has filled US prison system up.) Why the hell would you expect the "war on terror" to be any different?
Not that I disagree with your post but your meatspace rights don't come from the government here in the USoA. It is the other way around. You were born with those rights and the government had nothing to do with that fact.
Superior? WMA? My ass it is.
How about Microsoft travels the same route as the rest of the world instead of the world plus dog being expected to do it BillG's way. This is a waste of resources. HP is off it's nutter.
I don't care if "business" ever adopts Linux. It would be nice but it's playing well enough for me for 99.9 of all my computing needs.
UserLinux needs for a single DE for it to be "sold" are fine and dandy. Most people are not going to develop for it. Lots of Linux folks don't give a damm if Linux gets anymore uptake than it has today.
As for me I am going to continue to run GTK apps on my KDE because Gnome sucks goat balls.
The bottom line is this effects hardly anyone but a bunch of fanboys and zealots. All this agaitation is pissing me off though and my feelings for Bruce Perins have fallen to just above Darl Mcbride's right now because we don't need people sturing up shit. Thanks Bruce for seeding a shit storm when you didn't really have to.
The only thing it can't shake is the fanboys who would rather use a broken GNOME whining about QT. The majority of GUI desktops under Linux use KDE. Even under Debain Get over it fanboys. If UserLinux wants to use GNOME fine. It's bound to fail then.
Damm right it is.
Guess what I don't own one.
I haven't missed out on jack shit.
I will miss out on being tracked or triangulated bt a cell phone though.
Employer's market or not no one is going to take the chance on an employee lawsuit lottery if the HR person knows they can personally be sued for defamation. Would you lie to save your company money in unemployment payouts? Would you lie to keep your company out of court with the labor commission? If you can't answer a question truthfully and with ample documentation which isn't from a 3rd party source with a profit motive as in this case you had better just say yes.
I BTW will never again work for any company who hires MBAs who doesn't also have a full time ethicist.
No company or corp in the US of A is stupid enough to give a bad reference these days. Unless you get fired and thrown in jail for the same reason they are going to say you were satisfactory. They don't want to get sued.
Don't make the mistake of rolling over on this guy
KDE is the default window manager for most successful distros. RedHat seems to be the only one that goes with Gnome in that group.
Gnome zealots need to get over it. KDE zealots do too. I use what works for me. It appears it does as well for the majority of Linux users
Trotting out the QT dead horse is a waste of effort. All the revelant libs are GPLed and have been for sometime. It's a non issue unless you are building commercial apps. Just like many developer tools you will have to pay if you use them in a commercial way. BFD. If you are writing commercial apps you should pay for your tools. It's a non issue.
Use what you like. I wouldn't use UserLinux if forced to use Gnome. I have plenty of Debian based KDE distros to choose from beside that one.
Some one point out his this is redundant to me?
I was an early poster. No post was made about my county. How was this redundant? Mods are on crack (or was it an editor you never would know.)
The area they are in is next to Edwards AFB, and the China Lake NWC. I don't think they have a problem with getting wavers on any flight rules. The Airport they are based out of has military aircraft flying out of it at times. (I have see it in the past.)
OK smart ass:-) My reply was a "simple" answer to the guys question. Yes RF is generated by sending and electrical signal down a conductor (usually).
The amount of RF leakage down a telephone cable is near zero and unintended. The amount of RF leakage from BPL is massive and intentional. Damm/. pendants:p
What? DSL is a HF signal I don't think so. It's an electrical signal on a twisted pair using. BPL is RF on an electric line. Are you confused? I am not. The parent was.

It's not an issue. So what if I can't get local TV on satelite. I can always put an antenna up or god forbid do without. Geeze how lame.
