Ebay was the ninety-ninth auction site on the internet to receive significant funding and a sizeable audience. It just reached critical mass first because it had the most advertising money behind it.
Inserts. Think figurines with credit card bills. With an Oracle telling them what brand of detergent most fans of Kurosawa prefer. Or which celebrity endorsement will be most persuasive when selling sweaters.
"The 'web' is a shortened version of the acronym I.N.T.E.R.W.E.B which was invented by Marc Andresson at Darpa in 1989, in collaboration with Vint Cerf (who claims he just cribbed Al Gore's notes from "Love Canal", a nuclear particle physics thriller documentary)
And the second half is simply:
type./configure && make && make install to install Apache with PHP. And don't forget to make sure you have KDE with Redhat's bluecurve theme installed in the server.
Then it ends quickly by saying "Now install the application, and voila!"
I guess the whole point was to explain that a database can have more than one cleint connection, but if you copy the recipe for a webserver and rename it, it's a different webserver.
But if you aren't willing to stand behind your words, what do they mean? You're just some kook on the internet, and you obviously don't care enough about what you're saying to risk prison, death, torture, disappeance, or *ahem* anything at all.
If everyone is already dead, dissent isn't going to do you any good anyway.
Name one example where "just hearing the words" was important. I'll give you some: Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, Far left and right wing kooks in the US. But you know what? All that anonymous preaching didn't do a lick of good.
Sure, more kooks decided the Jews were subhuman, kulaks were out to get them, the black helicopters of the UN were spying on them, and the WTO was the source of all evil, but compare all that whispering innuendo to Thoreau, Gandhi, or Rambo (First Blood part 2.)
Oscar Schindler didn't save a single Jew. That's right. They were saved by Allied soldiers. While he might have delayed the extermination of a few to the point when Americans and Russians saved them, those were his actions, he did nothing to stop it. When one of his friends or workers' number was up, he said goodbye and kept his mouth shut. Maybe what he did was of better use than going to the gas chamber in their stead, but it wasn't dissidence.
No anonymous coward ever changed things for the good by not standing by his words.
KDE makes a batch of cookies and says to everyone, "Here, have as many as you like." Several people take a cookie, say thank you, and enjoy their cookie. Some of them even bring cookies to share. Apple comes along, takes the whole plate, takes a bite or two out each, and tosses the crumbs on the floor. KDE complains about Apple being a hog, and Apple says, "look, we're willing to share," pointing to the crumbs of KDEs cookies on the floor. Mixed in with the crumbs on the floor are some other crumbs that fell out of Apple's lap. Now, Apple isn't stopping KDE from making another batch of cookies, but they're not really sharing, and even though KDE *did* technically say they could have the cookies, Apple could have shown nicer manners. But what really hurts KDE is the others are complaining that KDE is out of cookies, and why can't they have as many as Apple had (now that the cookies are gone) and they want the cookies with sprinkles and frosting they saw Apple eating (Apple added the sprinkles and frosting.)
There is no point in being a dissident if you choose to remain anonymous. How is anyone supposed to know what your motives are if they don't know who you are. And if you really care about the things you say, then you should be willing to take a stand for it. Any anonymous "dissention" is on par with raving on usenet and somewhere beneath private grumblings.
Anonymous action, yes, can produce results. But anonymous words aren't worth the electrons they're displayed with.
Microsoft is a proven monopoly convicted of using it's monopoly in illegal ways to stifle competition. If that's what you mean by "monopolist," then okay. But being a monopoly in itself isn't a crime, although there are some things that competing companies can legally do that a monopoly cannot. Microsoft has done some of these things.
I think "less dependence on vendors" translates into "usability." I know the reason I started using Apache was because it just works with reasonable defaults. But the reason I still use it is because it is easier to customise.
That's totally good news. I'm going to have a positive opinion of humanity for days now. By your figures, only about 2/3 of people are suckers. When you take into account that many of those are really just reasonable people with bad taste, it positively warms my heart.
Lots of artists went through periods where they burned manuscripts, slashed paintings, otherwise ruined their own creations because their self esteem was low.
With this much noise you just know it's going to suck. Independent of anything else. If the studio feels it has to give away cars and hire prostitutes to independent reviewers just to get some "buzz" it is an undeniable fact that they already know it can't create any on it's own.
That's just stupid. Start with a successful business. Then, if you find you need money, you can start working on a "business plan", but the best business plan is a stack of reciepts.
Actually, almost all of that money went to Red Hat or VA Linux (or companies that got bought out by them.) But if you look at it by the dollars, that's about 50%, or even money.
Yes, he's been saying that for some time, but we have the evidence before us that either he entirely forgot (and refused to even watch the existing hints in the movies) or he was totally BS-ing about having a plot for the prequels.
That's because he's awful lucky to have made it to six. But the popularity books and video games means someone will continue after Jedi. And I'm sure it will be better than the prequels.
Bono was at Bill Gates' last week. Now I don't have anything against Microsoft, but U2 sucks these days. And Kevin Smith wants to hang out with people richer than he is, and it's been a long time since Clerks.
This review is bull.
It still has the same cast. So even if George Lucas wrote a masterpiece, it would still have Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christiansen, Natalie Portman, Liam etc.
Even if the effects were lovingly, painstakingly created with models and stop animation, and the bluescreen CGI scrapped, it'd still have Jar-Jar Binks, those stupid robot (clones?), etc. A truly 3D ugly is still ugly.
But with place names like "Mustafar" (hmm... care to count the minerates and onion arches on that set?) you know it's bad cliche city. Sure, you can say the Imperials looks like they were in Nazi uniforms, but they weren't called Nazzos.
Kevin Smith's breathless exclamations are a dead givaway. The only thing you can tell he was truly impressed with was the TV projector.

Orientals will do jobs even nerds aren't willing to do.
They retain their resale value better because no one buys them.

The VCs were nothing more than the chump change A&R guys for the big banks. They were just the recruiters for CSFB, Citi, SSB, etc.

Yeah, that article was a total waste of time.

The first half was completely superfluos stuff...

Just like Red Hat switched to a Hurd kernel to satisfy Stallman's egomania?

You mean the 20 years it's been since there was a Star Wars movie released?
Hey! Your jedi mind tricks wont work on... er, well actually, I suppose you're probably right.
Now I'm scarred for life.
