You're aware, aren't you, that GoDaddy still hosts their real (non-parked) sites on Apache, aren't you?
> Nowhere in said pages is information related to Microsoft paying GoDaddy. Only information which indicates GoDaddy switched and Microsoft was very pleased was to be found.
Dude, you're killing me. GoDaddy selected IIS on its technical merits over Apache. And I'm the Queen of England.
Closed captioned for the informationally challenged: Microsoft pays GoDaddy to use IIS for parked domains so it looks like IIS is "just behind" Apache on "who's using which web server" pie charts.
You are correct. No court or judge has the power to issue such a blanket authorization.
The Fourth Ammendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
But that's information archaeology. While interesting, and possibly useful, by pointing you to other (primary) sources, in the same way the main article should. The real point is that (particularly in a history department) they're teaching scholarship, which means going deeper than quoting from any encyclopaedia.
..."in 100 words or less, why you are such a supporter of your chosen operating system"...debate that will be part of the BBC's Microsoft Vista launch coverage...
Yeah, it's a lot like First Life. Most people are simply trying to exchange their time/labor (virtual or real) for stuff they perceive they want, while a few have figured out how to game the system and win big. So yeah, it's a lot like First Life.
Why do you support the "free speech" of paid political lobbyists? Again, it was just requiring registration - in other words admitting you're a political shill.
Jeez, calm down. It was simply a law requiring paid political astroturfers to register with Congress, just like the K Street lobbyists have to already. Being registered as a lobbyist doesn't seem to have slowed Jack Abromoff down any.
I think a test for an Authoritarian personality might be more useful. Sort of like Doug Adams notion that anybody who wants to be president is unqualified to be so.
So rather than two organizations working towards open standards, we get one organization working towards competing against Microsoft. Brilliant. Where ODSL actually had some credibility while forcing Microsoft towards more open document standards, this new "Linux Foundation" just begs to be ignored as a competitor. Efffing brilliant.
T]he mission of the new organization is [to] help Linux, the leading example of the open-source model of software development, to compete more effectively against Microsoft, the world's largest software company.
And what standard for psuedocode are we going to use? I once worked for an old-fart IMB 360 assembly language programmer turned CTO, and for a while he had us (I'm not making this up) using a program that used a psuedocodish language to produce flowcharts, which could then be used to document programs written in a 4gl (Progress). He did not see the irony or humor in this.

CFD?? Accessing... Ah, Computational Fluid Dynamics. Interesting.

I'm sorry, what was the question?
For whatever reason, the summary links to page two of the article. Page one is here
Ummmm, no. You asked for citations, and I gave them. The personal insults are gratis.
Sorry, I somehow broke the third link, it should have been The largest movement of sites from Apache to IIS was once again at Go Daddy, with over 1.6M hostnames moving from Apache to IIS this month.

Why yes, Microsoft fanboi, since you're obviously "informationally challenged", how about reading:
Microsoft Corp. today announced...
or here
or This month's survey brings one of the largest one-month swings in the history of the web server market, as Microsoft gains 4.7 percent share while Apache loses 5.9 percent. The shift is driven by changes at domain registrar Go Daddy,
or The largest movement of sites from Apache to IIS was once again at Go Daddy, with over 1.6M hostnames moving from Apache to IIS this month.
Or just try Googling "Microsoft GoDaddy", you'll get the idea.

"Vista DRM cracked by anybody with the desire to do so".
Just look at the name: Satanv. What could go wrong?
and format it?
The Fourth Ammendment:
So by that logic, if they delayed the release EVERYWHERE by two weeks, they'd stamp out piracy alltogether?
But that's information archaeology. While interesting, and possibly useful, by pointing you to other (primary) sources, in the same way the main article should. The real point is that (particularly in a history department) they're teaching scholarship, which means going deeper than quoting from any encyclopaedia.
Because it's not Microsoft Vista?
Thank you, the defense rests.
Or like getting flamed on USENET. It hardly deserves a thermonuclear response.
Yeah, it's a lot like First Life. Most people are simply trying to exchange their time/labor (virtual or real) for stuff they perceive they want, while a few have figured out how to game the system and win big. So yeah, it's a lot like First Life.

Good point. And another group should be forced to participate at gunpoint.

OMFG!!!
What a brilliant idea - "Schrodinger's vet (bill)" - finally - a way to combine Schrodinger's cat and Bistromathematics:
to whit:
"What will Schrodinger's vetrinarian charge you, depending on whether the cat is dead or alive".
