3rd sentence in that article...if you want Microsoft to implement a protocol...
They're licensing and implementation, not the protocol.
For a group of people who claim to be intelligent, a lot of stupid things get posted on this site.
Then retrieve the old source with the date in it and hang on to it. That's your 2 cent solution to destroying a 3000$ MS patent if they ever try to charge someone.
Linux poses a genuine threat? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha
Ohhhhh mercy, that's a good one.
Haha, Enron.
Oh man, this stuff is good.
Reading a report from IBM about how great Linux is, is like reading from Microsoft about how great Windows is. The source is completely bias and probably more of a marketing campaign rather than a technical review.
It's very rare today to hear of a major company throwing money at a research project since the '80s."
What the hell are you talking about? God dammit, some of you people are so stupid it makes my eyes bleed. How in God's name does something like this get a headline?
This being published today is just a coincidence. Check the BBC, it's been in process for a while. Puting things out for free is a compeditive advantage analogous to Microsoft providing free browsers when there is a commercial alternative.
Personally I welcome the tax, I think it will even out the playing field a bit and create competition.
Package implementations as of right now simply don't work well. Broken package trees should never be acceptable.
Source? Please... The optimizations achieved from compiling a program with -i486 versus -i686 is not worth forcing compile time replication on every machine. A much better way would be to have the developers cross compile to every platform themselves on release so end users don't have to waste their time.
First step to universal broadband: don't have your Justice Department argue against communities providing their own broadband service Yes, because the president has the authority to affect that judgement; stick to programming nerd, you suck at political science.
You guys just hate the fact that Linux sucks so bad at being a Windows replacement that you need to fine Microsoft 600 million dollars; to somehow even the playing field?
Instead of trying to become lawyers, why don't you guys become better engineers and design something better and more innovative than Windows?
I'm going to propose the reason why you don't is that hardly anyone that writes for Linux gets paid, there's no reason to innovate so you guys just copy.
Slashdot Mirror
And you don't have to "Worry about foriegn countries doing the US's bidding(laf)"
Yep.
The NFL owns a monopoly on everything football related? AMAZING!
I want to know if there's a single for profit business out there that is cast in a positive light by Slashdot.
Go back to Russia you socialists.
Stop releasing your software GPL and not changing for it and you'll be able to make a career out of programming again.

Thanks for the tip that no one thought of before; AC shitbean.

Linux has failed you. Where's your God now nerds? Where's your god now?
Generating electricity is not green. Once again this is a demonstration of euphoric environmentalists not knowing how things work.
I've had it with corporate America
Wow, I can't believe you're such a tool.

/slashdot If it was running Linux it would work. or... Some things are left better to pencil and paper. /slashdot off
What are you talking about? If it wasn't for Slashdot alone the US would have used electronic voting years ago. The US is hardly following.
Why don't you hippies come up with your own origional ideas instead of just copying everything MS does.
Where's your God now hippies? Where's your God now?
Socialists march on Europe.
No one ever will "fear" Linux, ever. Don't flatter yourselves.

In sumary both are wrong.
