well.. thats because, microsoft has grabbed way more than its share. they should just be making good crossplatform IDE, officeware, and mouse and keyboard. Not desktop windoze (leave it to apple) not windows server (leave it to BSD or linux).. so on and on.
Lots of public libraries use PCs set
up as kiosks running a web interface to their catalogs, and they all
seem to use IE
Not true. Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh has both IE and Netscape (4.5
I think). Our school library has netscape 4 or 6 installed too. But,
they all look like sitting their out of some dumb ass' sympathy for
Netscape that to provide a better browsing experience.
i found out the sysads' personal a/c password.. skg skg123:P
i had a friend who modified lynx source code and put it in/usr/local/bin and when the sysad ran it, my friend got a suid executable file in a 'hidden place':D
yes.. he did something wrong (how the definition has changed over time!). he got his punishment (he earned it). fact remains that he is opened the eyes of many people. Listen to his interview.. you'd know what he knows about 'the stuff'. That fact alone makes him admirable.. no matter what.
If they can't do their business on internet, UPS customers would rather call UPS up to track or schedule a pickup than go to fedex. Same with banks. It'll make them a little unhappy, but, they will do business, because it can be done. Indeed, MS monopoly is more creepy than you imagine.
I agree with the parents. Not only would I pay for the software I find useful, I can go a step further and recommend the right person to by a site license once in a while. I am sure I am not the only one. But, for people to be willing to do that you need there good will. And you won't get it by whining. The amount of sale generated in this manner might out number the so called 'lost sale' because in a situation where one can influence a decision maker.. hundreds of people who would have never heard about the product get factor in the sale.
Why exactly do I need a 3Ghz machine and Word XP when I type my letters perfectly fine with a P5-166 and Word 95 ?
you don't. but, your little brother or son might think "dad is so old fashioned!, I want the latest gizmo that/. people talk about. I wanna be a real NERD"
this solution is too simplistic. when a 'rogue' nation defies, not everyone in that nation agree with the nation's policy. there are all kinds of people in a so called 'rogue' nation. all of them are not spammers. if you are willing to not get mails from those non-spammers, if you are willing to put all of them into the same basket - very well.
Not to criticize the parents, but, when are linux zealots going to stop saying "it works for ME, therefore it's the best". Just notice the number of I and me and my. After a while it becomes stale and stinks. Give a break.
One always needs to be careful in reading slashdot. Can we expect the editors can be a little more careful and avoid posting misleading information, or just classify slashdot as all bullshit news site?
seriously.. slashdotting it everyday?
now on topic.. isn't sun standing in for MS there ?
And on a more serious note.. for what are these multimedia and java plugins good for anyways ? But, these kinda aliances good, 'cause they will help move the lazy MS ass to do some serious work atleast.
They changed it to repeat as desired to stop further programming power loss.. also.. programmers being proactive stopped taking shower after the incident.
i have had a hotmail account for 3-4 years.. and i haven't received any spam.. unbelievable ? may be because my id is rather long (16chars@hotmail.com) so.. auto address generators are yet to catch it.

but, they use the public internet. So, basically the user is paying the higher landline cost for the lower phone-over-public-internet quality.

Pentium-90? you mean one of those machines brought in from the future, by that time cop ?
i see another parallel .. isn't it a bit like war creates construction job ? break it today, so that we'll have some work for us tomorrow.

if you ignore the things that were ported from UNIX to Linux.. .. right ? that is why RMS insists upon GNU/linux.
Then we have a kernel
why the inequality ?
windows vs linux on slashdot? not fair.

reminds me the programmer who died in shower, because he followed the shampoo bottle instruction: apply thoroughly - rinse - repeat.

fencing is a must .. but, craps can be used as manure O:-)
is this a way to slashdot all goody console app sites ?
I for one am waiting for the brand new 'gim' tied to my gmail id. Heck, it's time for them to come up with MS passport replacement.
