They only need do what Red Hat does with Linux - give Windows away for free but charge for WindowsUpdate. And add telephone support as an option too. I don't understand what's taking them so long to work this out!
Charge for updates! I could only imagine the backlash to that. M$ would be accused of rolling bad code intentionally...they already are accused of doing it http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/24/034824 1&tid=109&tid=99
And support would be way to difficult and expensive for them. I don't even want, nor can I afford, to support my family.
How would M$ make money at this? Before I get blasted the same kind of money they are making today. Open source is great, but aren't most of the posts anti establishment? Why is it bad to make money? If you don't like don't buy it. You can not ask a man who has been making money the same way for years to suddenly stop. No this is nothing against Linux, I run Linux for certain applications and I run M$ for other applications. They are just tools. I always use the correct tool for the job.
If everyone followed the standard it would be easy. If it were easy then anyone could do it. If anyone could do it then half of/. readers would be out of work. So, this is good news.
this is turning in to an MS-bashfest, but what they are doing isn't far off from what Google and Yahoo do as well, using content from your mail or information from your account to target advertising? Maybe my tinfoil hat is just starting to chafe a little, but I don't think what Google, MSN or Yahoo does in regards to this stuff is really a big deal, at least not bigger a deal than what your credit card, bank or even insurance company do with similair information. I just thought it should be said again!
Why? because that's the level of abstraction that's most convenient to your argument?
Just trying to stay within the boundaries of your own argument. OK, how about this, a search on Google for Santa Clause produced 484,000 hits. Just because Google can find it doesn't mean it exists.
This is great! I may move to Ohio. You have got love the udder ridiculousness of this entire bill, but it would be fun to go to Auctioneer school. I wonder if they teach you the different styles; fine art auctioneer, car auctioneer, farm equipment auctioneer (this one comes with a straw hat and corn cob pipe). You may learn tips on how to auction some old ladies house off, you know the one she has lived in for 75 years and missed one tax payment. This is good stuff. You may learn how to auction off family heirlooms of the bereaved, because the dearly departed owed the bank a little to much. This could be huge!
Everything you listed is at least news.
What hardware configurations and software packages would you install on such a machine to show off the real power of Linux in an educational environment?
The above is not news. It is a waste of time and I will not be wasting any more of my time on it.
This is not news. This is a posting for a Linux help forum. There is so much going on in the technology world that I can not believe that this is the best story you could find. Intel is killing Tukwila http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/02/24/intel_nick s_tukwila/ and we are reading about what software we think they should load on a Linux box for an educational computer lab. The odd thing is that the people involved are not even reading this!
I have pulled data (Logs, Images, Movies, E-mails, Quicken) off of computers for divorce cases in the past. The judge ordered it some of the time...of course that was in Texas...

I don't want to look at pictures of books anyway!
Can you call it sabotage if it never worked well to begin with?
Nerds? Starbucks and powerbooks don't remind me of nerds. They remind me of metrosexuals.

cant really think of anything as unusable as opera in a cellphone...

How long until Opera is the defacto browser for all Symbian OS phones?

The better analogy would be transportation. There are multiple types of transportation, but no transportation car.
OK first off what is an Ethernet cable? You can not buy one at a store. You can buy a CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6...cable at nay computer store.n /0,,sid7_gci213234,00.html/

For small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and in particular, free software projects, there is much to lose.
And for the attorneys much to gain...

Tivo turned on a bulb and the shinning light has freed people to watch what they want when they want.

They will...very soon.
Convergence my friend, convergence.
Did anyone get a bingo oof of this one?
Is Florida a community property state?

What does reasonable mean anyway?
...for being able to pull it off...
He did not pull it off...he was caught.
I would have found this much more informative had they just told me where to find the 3%.
Now I have to go read and search the net...bummer.
