Don't forget that is just the OS. There's hundreds of $$$ worth of software included with Suse that you would have to go out and buy to be productive with a new win computer.

If you read any British newspapers, mags, etc., you will find this declination is the norm. Anything that is a whole made up of many parts, such as a corporation, is treated as plural. When I first started reading Linux Format I noticed that and thought it was a misprint. Just a British oddity. Someone needs to larn 'em how ta' talk!;-0
Mr. Tony didn't make it 'cause Jeopardy's cameras couldn't handle the orange glow of that big beautiful bald head.;-o He would have done well though as long as they didn't ask him any sports questions.
Sure he's glad of it. After the opening weekend obligatory viewing by those left of, say, John Edwards, he'll be real happy to have SOMEONE watch it.
BTW, B. Clinton's "My Life" is already on the markdown shelfs!
Unfortunately, this is one of those "I have to have it and the nature of the contract makes it that we don't really have to take care of you cause you signed it and you have to pay us no matter what" kind of deals. Like your land line phone service was before competition.
Microsoft is as much about SERVICE as they are about CONSUMER SALES.
Only an idiot/. groupthinker would suggest otherwise. You correct someone elses ideas, and then make a blunder even worse.
Did you read the post? I answered a question and made an observation on the relationship of the revenues to income. Oh, BTW, I manage a retail store and have a LITTLE understanding of gross/net profit margins. Net income that's 50% of gross revenue is a pretty hefty ROI. Nice work if you can get it.
"we need to keep in mind that Linux also needs upgrades and patches installed, and security holes plugged. Often it can be more time consuming to patch Linux, too - find and download RPM, potentially requiring you to find and download dependencies, etc., and installing, while in Windows, for most users, it's "click on Windows update button."
Yea, it's real difficult keeping Linux updated. Let's see, in Fedora flashing exclamation point in bottom right. Oh! Click the exclamation point. In Mandrake it's much more difficult. Click configuation, then click "update". Gotta be a real whiz to do that!
If they could show it on the first day they announced it, the Linux community would have no chance to 'hide' the code that infringes, the Linux code is public and have allways been public.
How would the "infringing" code been "hidden"? If there is copied code in the kernel, there are plenty of locations using older code that proof would be easy. Even now on message boards across the country, people talk about their Red Hat 6 installs. In fact, you could probably go into any book store that has Linux books and find a Red Hat book with version 7 that has disks with it. If the code is there, say something. If not, STOP IT!!!
If I have 20,000 share that at the start of this is worth $4.00/share, then sell 10,000 shares at 15.00/share and buy back 5,000 at 7.50/share, have I made any money? Have I quieted investigations into alleged "pump and dump"? Do the math.

It took me a week, but I actually upgraded from 9.2 to 10 Community this way via cooker. (I had dial-up at the time) Worked pretty well.
So you will not be flying to the US anymore. If the US is making sure who is on what flights, do you think that an airline that doesn't "pony up" with the info is going to be allowed to fly here?
One thing that nobody seems to remember is that we are in a declared war. Now it is not against a country with borders in the traditional sense, but it is an enemy just the same. It would be great if everyone in the world just loved each other and nobody did wrong things to anybody. That is not reality. Reality is that there is a group that hates the United States and everything it stands for. A group that has shown its willingness to fight a battle that shows no regard for traditional non-combatants. When you fight a war, there are restrictions imposed on civil liberties. This is a universal and historical fact. From the suspension of habeas corpus by Abraham Lincoln to the interrment of Japanese-Americans during WW2, goverments have to put the protection of the whole ahead of the rights of the individual during war. The problem is that the same people who yell loudest about the loss of some of their "rights" will be leading the pack of attack dogs when something does happen. The political party yelling the loudest about the breakdown of intelligence leading up to 9/11 is the same one who gutted the intelligence community during the previous administration. You can't have the cake and eat it too.
"I feel sorry for a lot of the kids who might otherwise have read the book."
That's a funny comment, but not in line with my experience. I personally know about 20 teens who read the trilogy for the first time and I have a list of 7 teens who want to borrow my copy of "The Silmarillion." The thing that would keep them from reading the books is the type of sanctimonious attitudes of those who are quoting Tolkien LIKE IT IS SCRIPTURE!!! It is a WORK OF FICTION!
I got that list and laughed. Notice that it not only excludes.gov but also.mil (US military) addresses. Trying hard to avoid the feds from getting involved, maybe? But it also excludes *icrosoft and hotmail??????? NOT A TYPICAL LINUX GEEK. Sounds to me like a _icro_of_ employe_ perhaps? Or the type of person who would rip their own clothes and then go run to the teacher. "Miss Smith, Johnny grabbed me and pushed me" (said with a whiney voice) Other interesting exclusions were IBM, Berkeley, and *BSD.

will take this opportunity to show that this is a dastardly plot by Dick Chaney and Haliburton to try and discredit the free-speech loving Democrats.

Ask John Edwards. He can tell you how!

They eventually began to shrink in stature and began to live in the trees, taking up occupations such as shoe cobbling and baking.

Revenue is what you take in. Income is what you keep. (AKA profit) Gives you a clue as to what their markup is (:-0)

Aren't you describing Turin? Berin and Luthien regained one of the Silmarils from Morgoth, and become the ancestors of the houses of Elrond and Elros.
In the Bible, the mandrake root had a tie in with fertility. (the first ---gra!) In Genesis, Jacob's wife Leah "bought him with mandrakes.
