Especially one who produces stuff that you want. They love to barter goods and services. The performing arts group I work for gives our network/hardware consultants season tickets and a $40,000 concert title sponsorship every year. Heck I give the printer repair guy 2 season tickets every year and I only pay for parts over $200.
well, if it was such a great honkey-dory... would you like to guess why it didn't stay ARPANET forever.
It's attitudes like this that I really hate. It's a cow-like mentality that if the government didn't do it, no other soultion would be as nice, as workable, doable, etc....
Perhaps a better question would be "Why didn't it stay ARPANET forever, when it could have?"
In regards to my cow-like mentality about government, please provide your suggestions for replacing it. I suspect it will read similar to Lord of the Flies.
I agree. Unproductive tax-financed programs like ARPANET never amount to anything.
Government is a monolithic, inhuman entity that has never done anything for us. Except the roads, the aqueducts, the wine, public health...
The only thing I can't understand is why iTunes and QuickTime seem so inferior on Windows. If that's a byproduct of crossplatform programming, I don't know that I'd be that eager to switch (no matter how nice the development environment is, it's the final product that counts.) But other than that, I think they're on to something.
Why, exactly, would a perceived inferiority of iTunes and QuickTime on Windows make you hesitant to switch from Windows?
1...do an emerge, apt-get, swaret, etc, sit back and wait. Yeah, Linux is hard. One command to me is easier than navigating to a webpage...
2....search on linuxquestions.org or your distro's forums. 99% of the time your answer is already in those forums...
3. Recompiling a kernel? It's really not that hard....
4....in Linux every stock kernel I've seen a distro supply has just about everything compiled as a module...
Great information, obviously coming from someone who knows what they're talking about. However, how do you expect the new computer user to have this knowledge going into Linux? You recommend linuxquestions.org. How will they know to look there for answers? If they did know of it, how do you expect them to get to it if they can't install their OS in the first place?
OK, let's settle this soccer/football naming thing once and for all. Dallas Cowboys vs. Manchester United, both playing their own version of football. Winner gets to keep the name.
1. Open a 1 page document in WP
2. Watch while your computer grinds to a halt
3. Go drink some coffee & have a chat with the hot new blonde receptionist
4. Every 30 minutes or so check back to see if WP is finished opening the file
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4
You get paid for goofing off! Thanks, Corel!
(Note to Linux users: dust the crumbs off your t-shirt and pop an Altoid before chatting with the hot new blonde receptionist.)

Ned Ludd, is that you?
The article points out that the handwriting reader is a Newton.
no wireless. Lame.
I abhor the fact that he stalked her, but I admire the way he did it.
Now I can't trust you anymore.
High school Trekker nerds being harassed by bullies. I'd watch that.

The gear shown in this catalog is the only equipment that current Corel products will run flawlessly on.
To clarify, it was Paddy O'Furniture in the toilet scene. Paddy was upset that certain persons were always after his lucky charms.

...is a "user exceeded bandwidth" message? Odd.
...if he considers bluescreens and error messages as ads.
