No the justice dept took the break up of MS off the table after they won the initial ruling. The clinton justice dept was pushing for it, the bush justice dept took it off the table.
If you make a million and give back 750K and serve 50 days in jail then your profit was 250K. I would go to jail for 50 days if somebody gave me 250K. Hell I would do that once or twice a year especially in a white collar jail.
Oddly enough during the inquisition the jews fled into the muslim controlled areas of spain, portugal and north africa where they were welcomed and protected from the christians.
How times change huh? I remember when Russia and china were enemies, my parents remember when russia and china were an allies and germany, italy and japan were enemies.
Who knows maybe one day iran, syria and palestine will be allies and israel will be an enemy. It could happen in a generation.
Geez the US has already killed 40,000 to 100,000 people in Iraq alone (depending on whose numbers you believe). We are not allowed to know how many people we killed in Afghanistan.
11K doesn't really seem all that much especially if you consider that more then 3000 people die from smoking EVERY WEEK in the US alone.
judging by their stock price Sun has been pretty stagnant for the last five years. They had a boos during the doc bomb heyday but before and after nothing to crow about.
Why not? Like I said FISA exists purely to rubber stamp whatever Bush wants. It's a kangaroo court. The judges have never turned the administration down. Ever.
It exists only to give legality to the president's wishes. Bush could make a request that he wants to eat babies and they would approve it. These people don't care about the constitution or the citizenry.
One problem is that no matter what you are studying there are rules. Even in UfC there are rules. In the street there are no rules. A boxer for example could be taken down in seconds by a BJJ person because all his life the rules in the ring were that your opponent stood up and tried to punch you. Same with a kickboxer. OTOH the BJJ person has been training on a mat and may not be functional on a concrete sidewalk.
Look SMB is a MS proprietary protocol. It's a miracle that you are even allowed to write to the share in the first place. MS has been doing it's best to sabotage the samba people for years.
You are blaming the wrong people here. Why not put the blame where it belongs, squarely on the shoulders of MS who are actively trying to sabotage the samba team.
WHat's really interesting to me is that IE is down to 85% already. Just a few years ago they were over 90%. It will be a happy day when businesses wake up and realize that they are telling 15% of their customers to go away by coding IE only web sites. If the IE share keeps dropping it will be sooner rather then later.
No not a paradox. They have a monopoly on two proiducts. Due this monopoly then can overcharge the consumer. They then take this money and spend it on hundreds of loser products they make. These products as a rule are so bad that nobody would pay for them so they give them away for free or force people to install them.
Their monopoly and subsequent gauging of the consumers makes it all happen. Their competitors of course are not in the same position, all their products have to make money and they are unable to shove their products down other peoples throats.
I think there is a difference between a walmart employee doing some random evil thing and walmart paying people to do evil things.
In a better world corporations would not be able to shield the evil people in them from personal responsiblity for their actions but until then it's very important to make the above distinction.
What i don't uderstand is why Bush would circumvent a kangaroo court designed to rubber stamp what he wants anyway? It's not like any of the judges on the FISA court care about the constitution or the US citizens. They are there simply to put a patina of legality on whatever Bush wants to do.
As for your legal analysis: It seems many highly esperienced legal professionals disagree with you. These professionals include law professors, judges, and other lawyers. I don't think I will simply accept your word on this matter.
I was going to say we should let the supreme court handle it but they don't really care about the constitution either. Really the court system is a joke now isn't it.
How is VS + ASP.NET + IIS any better then eclipse/netbeans/Idea + Java. If anything it's worse because java tools have always been better then VS. How long has it taken for VS to get refactoring and a decent build system for example? The java programmers were enjoying those features for years while the VS people plodded along thinking they were l33t because they could draw their guis.
I won't even go into how much more productive rails in then ASP.NET.
Honestly the ASP.NET crowd thinks everybody else is working with stick and stones for some reason. Most likely this is because they have never used anything else.
If linux wasn't there they would have gone to windows. People seem to miss that. The best thing linux ever did was to prevent MS from leveraging their desktop monopoly into a monopoly on servers.
Nathan Myhrvold is not a nobody. He has a rich history all saved on google. A little bit of research should show you whether is a nice guy who is trying to make the world a better place or an evil son of a bitch or somewhere in between.
Anybody who has been throught the early years of Microsoft's war on the IT industry knows what kind of a person he is. Suffice it to say he is not a nice guy trying to make the world a better place.
In the "anything but java" world the best alternative seems to be Ruby. The performance issues are being looked at right now, the IDE is eclipse or jedit, and the language is quite nice. They are also working on a pure ruby IDE which is nowhere near eclipse yet but shows a lot of promise. What's interesting that they already have a container (like tomcat) which is as fast as tomcat.
You know... Where you put your mouse on the border and then resize the god damned thing like every other window on your screen. Oh and cut and paste like every other window on your screen too.
There are supporters of open source, supporters of java, supporters of open source java. That last group is a tiny percentage of the previous two groups. The problem is the supporters of open source don't want to use java because it's not open source. They have no reason to make an open sourced version because they are perfectly happy with the set of open sourced tools they have now.
That last group is still plugging along though, more power to them.
"No, because Microsoft sabotaged having a quality JVM bundled on the client."
Sun could have struck a deal with Dell, gateway etc to include a JVM in their new PCs. They failed to do that.
"No, it is because many developers prefer open source development with languages like Ruby."
If you think the only reason people prefer ruby on rails is because it's open source then I don't know that we can further this conversation. Although it's worth thinking about what if java was open sourced.
Having said that hasn't sun management made the claim that java IS open sourced?

Imagine if your friend was not white. Imagine if he was a muslim. Imagine if he was an arab. You think he might have ever shown up again?

First of all how does that not make it a proprietary MS protocol? How does your statement negate anything I said?
Secondly why? Why are you using SMB to mount drives from one linux machine to another?

it's good to be a monoply.
Happy shilling!
You are confusing the goo intentions and morals of Melinda (bill never gave away a cent before he got married) and Microsoft the corporation.
It's understandable. MS spends millions every year to food dupes like you and it works.
The foundation has nothing to do with MS.

"The richest 1% have more than the bottom 90% combined."
Oddly enough they don't pay more then 90% of the taxes and still cry like babies that they are paying too much taxes.

Ruby is going places and fast.

Can you resize the window and copy and paste easily into the windows. If so it's already 10 times better then CMD.EXE.
