I do rememeber the original BSG. Although it had some "cheap" production shortcuts and somewhat sloppy story line, I enjoyed it back then, I still rememebr having nightmeres about the Cylons (remember the old Cylon roboots, they were cool:P) attacking me!.
The new series is AMAZING, it's the best show on TV today. I watched season one like 1000 time (I have downloaded the episodes after giving up on the DVD release anytime soon) on laptop on my daily commute, and still can watch it more.
season 2 seems like it's going to be just as good as the first season. Friday's episode was pretty damn good. Loved it!
To sum it up, the new BSG is something very well worth watching. And I recommend it to any and everyone. Cool visuals, smart story, sexy charcters. what else a geek would ask for ?
so you'r saying that your excluded (can't use a Dell) because Dell is using only Intel products and thus making Dell more expensive ?
You don't have to use Dell, there are many of alternatives.
it's up to Dell to use whatever the heck they want to use, they are not monoplizing a market, they have a sort of partnership/deal with Intel, and last time I checked, having such deals wasn't a crime.
I still don't see any base for a law suit.
It's funny when people who complain about the US justice system allow for anyone to sue pretty much anyone else for virtually no reason actully go ahead and throw in the "we have to sue" mumbo jumbo all over the place.
So yeah, let's sue Dell for being smart ? for follwoing sound business practice ? what are the basis of your law suit ? your argument is flawed on many levels.
Would this attempt effect the raging outsourcing that's been happening over the past few years ? will companies that outsource some of their call center/software dev./etc services to india be concered after reading such news ?
I got a suprisingly low priced Targus Puls Backback It's very well made, been hauling it with me in a 45 min comute each way to and from school for the past 2 months, very well made. I even carried it with my laptop inside in a somewhat rainy day (I know it's stupid risk, but the wind destroied my umbrella:P), I arrived at school soaking wet, the bag was dry.
Weapon of Mass Processing ?
I know I know, lame joke:(

Linux in Iraq
·
· Score: 1
Time will come when copyrights are enforced and IPs are preserved (not SCO-like, none-existing IPs if you'r headign that way:P). when that time come, I'd rather have teh IT sector in Iraq hooked up on tux rather than any other OS.
we know how some big software company "give away" stuff for free to get you hocked, and why you are knee deep in mud, they start sending you multiple figures invoices and fancu EULAs and other misc. crap.
Let's get ppl. hocked on Linux, or at least wondering about it. And yes, we know it's not the cure to cancer and it won't bring my dead cat back, but it's good enough to run effceintly,both economically and technically feasable fasion.
I was a bit realistic when I said it's going to take between 2 and 5 years t have a solid base to build on. Tons of challenges down there now, security is the bigest issue.
Iraq does have a large technology work force, they lack direction and lack resources. Just so you know, Iraq governement and educational institues been running Unix since the 1970s on mainly ICL mainframes (International Computers Ltd., too bad they are gone now). I personally knew few Unix gurus in Iraq and it's just a matter of time to contact them and show them Linux.
Linux isn't the solution for everything, but I beleive Linux can do a great job in the servers and office desktop environments, home users will still want to play their favorite game or watch some DMCA compliant movies:P. basically Linux can save Iraq (as a governement and/or businesses operate there) large sums of money by implementing it in government and businesses establishments and in educational institues for both server and desktop environments.
again, it's going to take time. So let's stay hopefull.

I don't think we should worry about IBM. They lost PPC with Apple, who cares, the 2 dominant game consoles are using IBM chips ;)
:)
and let's not forget their consultancy business powered mainly by Linux and Java-based technologies.
IBM is well off
No better way to code in Java than Eclipse

after reading the specs, I think it's LINUX running it ;)

it's a good bag, I recommend it.

yes, they are in use, but the buzz about ICL is gone, it was the hot thing in late 1970s and into the 1980s
I'll suicide Linux his forces

I think it's another attempt to give some value of some sort to their stock, or at least stop the slide, not working, though
it's called "PUMP" ... the "DUMP" coming soon to a stocks market near you.
