No Mr. Cowboy, you can't prove anything _in the future_, only lates verify that your predictions where true.
In essence, I doubt it will save or cost anything. Actually, it might intruduce additional costs, as such changes often introduce hidden and unplaned "soft" changes.
The thing is, noone can fix a modern car if the problem is in the electronics etc. Even the manufacturer doesn't fix the problem, they simply replace the parts that are broken.
The modern car is so complex that no single person can fix them. Comertial software today is largly the same, it's nice to have Sun come down here and identify the problem and get the entire Solaris team to work and fix bugs.
I'm not arguing against OSS, I'm just saying that in most cases comertial software is more than adequate, and many it's the only alternative.
I'v been a BSD user for more than a decade and a UNIX user for two decades, so I'm not against OSS, it's just that comertial software fits my needs better in most cases.
When licenses are considered innovative, hell, this has really become a fucked up world.
People who are innovative want something in return for their efforts. In case of OSS software which is innovative, like BitTorrent, creator uses the buzz to cash in on related project; like real cash or more research grants.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that they get money in return, directly or indirectly. Money is freedom in this world, and it's more likely that they continue to support us with further developments.
Most people I know who got into CS because of the money in the.com-boom are all very successful, simply because they go where the money is. Most of them are in insurance management, with executive jobs, earning not as much as during the boom but more than almost all the fellow students who studied for passion and have remain in the IT industry.
I don't really expect anything from MSN search at this point, it will require some major fine-tuning to become really powerful.
On the other hand, I don't expect any reviews of MSN search to be any good so early on either. Simply because, if you're a googler or some other search engine user, you like what that one offers for a reason; switching is hard.
That's pretty accurate actually, I suffered an aneurysm in the frontal lobe, caused by high bloodpresure from stress btw. So no work for me, and my spelling and grammar sucks.
Stock is actually a bit flakey, you can be rich as hell without having any money to buy food with; this happened to me a one point during the great boom.
Sadly, now I got neither stock or money.
Still, I bet it strengthen the employee commitment to the company, which is what they want.
As I've implemented a 3D desktop for Windows I can say that it's much simpler on X. There are simply too many apps that break that coding guidelines for Windows to get a functional interactive Windows in 3D.
Hooking looked promising until I actually tried it, dropdown menues refused to work. It's not as limiting as it sounds, because if you need that kind of funcitonality, you're design of the desktop is ALL WRONG.
I use Mac mimics instead, like WinPLOSION, much nicer, and fast. Even better would be a Mac, but I need WinForms right now.
True, but a good administrator makes his work as easy as possible; to be able to focus on what is important for the organisation. In most cases this happens to be either (any form of) planning or enforcing security.
God-like admins leaves the wastelands of admins and goes on to green pastures.
I understand the desire to use visual modeling tools, but I have a hard time understanding why UML is the standard that everyone uses; man, it sucks ass.
It was inconsistent; to the point that it was actually umbigous, in version 1 and a few dot-releases. So it couldn't be checked by a parser.
Some claim that UML and EER have 1:1 mapping, and while that isn't strictly true the EER is not the answear we're looking for.
So, to the point; does anyone know of a visual modeling language that isn't inconsistent and more than 600 pages in the basic spec?
Does anyone have a link to the algorithm where one can calculate the digits of pi at any given position without knowing the result from the preceding digits?

Anyway, is this news worthy?

Hello World!
Isn't Mono v2 supposted to support WinForms?
I guess it's much too late, WinForms is just as nice; if not a lot nicer; and puts no restrictions on the product.
But it isn't, unless you're also a fan of war etc.
Storing digital information on paper is feasible and lots of research efforts have been put into it.
Storing data on anything magnetic or optical is a bit worrysome. But then, it's not critical data so I guess it doesn't really matter.
You can.

FMA, actually, any release by anime1 before their main subber quit 2 months ago.
Hmm, I don't agree, the dub sucks.
I've never encountered a dub which doesn't suck, and I consume at least 8h of anime every week.
Down with dubs up with subs!

Oh, and you might want to check this thumbnail for a glance or this screenshot to see the horror in all its' might.
I've tried SphereXP, even implemented my own 3D desktop before that.
The problem with it is that it's not about function, but flair.
In short, try something else, preferably something which doesn't include the ability to rotate windos around their own axels.

If you had said UNIX I would have answeared FreeBSD or NetBSD. However, you asked for Linux so I guess I have to say:
:P
Debian Linux, or maybe Debian BSD, just to be rude
Sorry, I fucked up, so I reply to remove the modding. This definity deserv a +5.

Sweet, thanks a lot.

I doubt the lusers will switch to FreeBSD, ever. I'm happy with that, less is more.
