Well they have gone for decades trying to subvert the domestic economy for a quick $. Now its starting to hit home... OTOH now is the time to start making $3000 USD cell phones! Profig from the gov-ment!
its not the people that use the source & extend it, its the hey I make 200k a year, and Im to cheap to kick $5 to the cause... fuck sco used to cost a FUCKING fortune... but nobody seems to remember or care...
in production you would have 2x boxes and use carp to fail from one to the other. Also you wouldnt do it in the middle of the day, but in off peak hours. Additionally you dont run all the eggs in one basket so to say.
gee thats lame... the whole point of buying the CD's is to get the compiled packages... that and to know I'm supporting the 'cause'... OTOH dont get me started about cheap fucks that wont even kick in $5 USD, but are pouncing on the ftp servers now.....
Thses jokers can't wait to outsource it or send if overseas. Its no small shock that kids are like whoa the IBM that just laid of 13,000 jobs? yeah Im going to invest 4+ years and $30-120,000 in that degree so that I can be a Walmart greeter.
What do we make in North America again? Can anyone remind me, because all I see is consumers, we dont make anything anymore, and if you make more than $5.00 USD an hour doing something other than yard work, they are dying to send that job overseas.
Now the only 'good' part of this is that it's equalizing the worlds wealth, but we (North Americans) are about to be largely poor... Which sucks...
Oh how true! Balmer (Monkey boy) had it right the 1st time. Developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers!!!!!!!
That and OEM bundeling has established Microsoft. Also the way they hold out, all development on *their* platforms. Sure they dable every now & then, but it all goes back to MS. And $100 isnt that much for a compiler with docs. How much was Cset?! Oh although Next screwed up with the compiler bundeling, thankfully as Apple they throw in the compilers now for free. (way to go!)
In Florida we dont let them vote either... We dont let that constitution thing get in the way that much. Just the like the war on drugs for everyone except Jeb's daughter....
Ok, now try going to a new company that has a 'legacy' tape drawer. The dont even know if it was netware, nt, unix or vms that made the tapes. Not to mention they had 2 sets and constantly went back & forth on them.. guess what? plenty of bad reads on those tapes....
500 gig native.. with 38MB a sec... I think Id bench that vs Lacie 1.6 tb disk... http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=1055 1 The really scarry part is data retention.. Most US companies need to keep 7 years of backups, but have you ever tried to restore a 7 year old tape? Its like impossible.

But its' true, sitcoms are *NOT* funny in the least bit!, They (sitcoms) are so weak that they have to tell you when its a 'joke'... What a joke.
Now I remember why I canceled TV.
Im sure they would be the 1st to cry if it died.

.. .you got me... Im still waiting for my disc's.. (Damn you customs!).. I think I'll just download it like a wanker & check it out.
Dialup?! What is this? the dark ages?!

no really!

-Blade runner... get it?!

What are you crazy?! I mean I know OS/2 users are in denial, but geez this is INSANE!
BTW NT is little endian. Running on a big endian cpu would like change EVERYTHING..
Yes and we used to have LIM EMS back in the day. The difference is that this is LINEAR.. its still 4 gig.
I did hear something about that going down when I was there.
Really someone ought to put him in a room with Theo to see if they cancel eachother out.
Bottom line is tapes suck.
