I agree with you here in general, however, it has only a faint resemblance to the original post (i.e., it is consistant).
In any case, there is nothing preventing a government paying for vaporware in any case, and I'm sure it happens all the time... just like any other business setting.
My point here is that in light of the topic of this thread, the government isn't much different than a large lazy conglomerate. I'm sure that eventually the gov't will figure out that it can save money buying free software, reshuffle the budget, and blow the savings on something else.
Or 3, the message was sent from the sender's machine to the sender's mail server (usually the sender's ISP's mail server) like nearly 100% of legitimate mail.

Bernstein's IM2000 proposal at least keeps the bandwidth consumption down, but that's primarily a cost issue for ISPs."
Sigh. No it doesn't. It reduces the storage space. Bandwidth remains the same. See my posts above called 'IM2000 Strengths and Weaknesses' and 'IM2000 fights SPAM? Not Really.'
Plus if you think about it no matter how you organise it a message bound for 1000 different recipients always takes the same bandwidth.
Both of you missed the point completely. First of all, if you group recipients by domain, then you can dramatically reduce the bandwidth 90% or more, btw. Check out the SMTP protocol.
Also, of *course* ISPs won't lower their prices, but spammers would have to buy more bandwidth to spam.
Out of the huge code base that is Linux, there *may* be 80 lines of *copyrighted* (i.e. not pantented) code? Do you have any idea how trivial it will be to rewrite that code once it is identified?
That is precisely why SCO wants to drag out divulging that information as long as possible... assuming it's true that is.

No, it's because the bits are in your Video RAM. If they were in main memory, they would have to be transported to the video card via the cpu, or at a minimum consume memory bandwidth.
The only problem is that DOS isn't an operating system. It's more like a boot loader for the embedded apps that were called "DOS Applications." It defined the filesystem so that the embedded apps could share the same disk and you could use other embedded apps to manipulate the filesystem. It also has something comparable to library calls to help programs access I/O devices.
Sorry, but 100Mbps full duplex ethernet performs at near theoretical max. With 1500 byte packets (which happens when you are pushing a lot of data), you get 95Mbps or more.
The fact that 802.11b is marketed at 11Mbps is a complete joke.
Remember, the 68K line was vastly slower than the PPC chip. It's easy to emulate a slower processor with a faster one.
I doubt Intel will have as much success running x86 code on the Itanium faster than AMD or Intel's Pentium division can using the same technology. If it was faster to run x86 code on the Itanium within 30% of the price, that *would* be the next Pentium. Or that theory would go into the next AMD chip without the Itanium cruft.
CDs are attractive because of the instant seek times, not having to rewind them, the cost of the media, and their physical size and shape. The quality and durability are nice...
That's the point. There is no one place to go to get all of your software updates when running Windows. When running Linux it is entirely possible, and very likely, that your distribution contains, maintains, and updates all of the software you use.

And the difference between that and private funding is?
Everyone has an agenda.
You're contradicting yourself. In your example, the Ford Foundation would still be paying someone to write free software.
Why couldn't a government do that?
That's all well and good, but a copyright is not a patent. It's ok to take ideas from copyrighted works.
Haha. But no.
They did do that via a slashdot article. I think, ultimately, that it just wasn't a good idea.

That's about it.
For what it's worth, I believe Java on OSX is always loaded.

The problem here is that with 802.11b, the theoretical max _is_ about 5.5mbps even if there is only one user associated with the AP.
If Apple/Motorola can do it, Intel can do it.

Do you have something to say about the difference between the two statements?
If someone stole your credit card number, and you used it afterwards, you would be legally using a stolen credit card number.
No, ObjC is not a low level language either.
It compiles directly to machine code and requires no interpreter environment to run. That's about as low as it gets.
One can only hope you're trolling.
Possessive pronouns don't have apostrophes: its, hers, theirs, yours, his, mine, ours, etc. Word length has no bearing on the matter.
This side thread is irrelevant. SGI doesn't make 32 bit computers that run IRIX anymore.
People don't spend a grand on a single-tasking machine. The going rate for that is about $150-200 (US).
And, more importantly, the propagation of the displacement of the balls did not exceed the speed of light.
