My understanding is the module is done, and we are waiting for the Proteon rocket booster to have a couple of successful launches after their recent round of disasters.
I know there have been news articles talking about the volume (sound) level in the russian modules, it doesn't meet NASA standards.
which is the concept of location, applied to a company.
What I don't understand is how Walmart.com can be a separate company from Walmart, although it has no problem piggybacking on the physical presence, and advertising of the Walmart registered name, it doesn't have nexus in this state, so it escapes having to collect sales taxes.
I don't object to small companies, who clearly don't have nexus in another state, to not have to collect sales tax for another state.
I do object to a nationwide corporation who clearly has the ability to collect taxes in those states, due to physical presence, to be able to avoid collecting sales taxes by simply using some accounting tricks to setup a wholly owned subsidiary in another state.
The other side is the states, who have to come to the party with a simplfied sales tax code. The idea of enforcing a very local sales tax is losing meaning in the global economy.
Waiting to be hooked up a machine to check the capacity and pressure dynamics of the bladder, I checked out the screen.
It was a Windows based application, running on a standard PC.
While I was watching, a DOS based screen saver kicked in, suspending windows, and giving a blank screen. When the nurse returns, she mutters "this machine is always doing this", and reboots it, giving the standard Win95 boot sequence, which loads a DOS based TSR screen saver, and finally the custom application full screen.
This does not inspire confidence in a person who is about to have said machine threaded into his privates.
What would work well is to use the UPC code to key a memory unit in the oven, to record the cook cycle that works best for you.
press start enter time press beep (for the stir/turn) enter time enter time (repeat till done) press record wave box UPC in front of oven till it beeps.
Next time you have that item, press "Auto cook" and wave the UPC code in front of the oven, which will then replay the same cooking sequence.
You could store a customized cook cycle for every item you ever need to put in a microwave.
The BSD's have different development styles than Linux, a different license, giving you the user more choices.
Run whatever OS does the job you need to get done. As long as they track the standards that provide interoperability, which both Linux and the BSD's do, then all will be well.
The going rate for a mechanical license is $0.03 per song/copy. So out of $18 for your disc, 30 cents is distributed to the companies representing the artists (ie BMI/ASCAP) to distribute to the artists.
So the RIAA is claiming 3.3 millions downloads per title in their losses.
Now if the RIAA would put their effort into a micropayment system, which would allow them to collect the same royalties they have been getting all along, I think the public would be receptive to paying a nickel a song, as opposed to $1-2.
Are they not also a vendor of plug compatible mainframes? Of which there is soon to be a Linux port that runs on the "bare iron" which is to say, without IBM licensed software.
Most ISP's put (or try) to put the responsibility to defend on the user, thru a clause in the user agreement, that requires the user to defend the ISP in any cases of legal trouble.
You have only as many rights as you have money to pay lawyers for.
Since the only way to reply to most spam e-mails is by toll-free number, the only way to transfer cost to them would be if you could a telephone company that is even sleazier than they are, and have them hire, to respond to each and every message received, and then say "no thanks".
If the maximum rate paid for originating a toll free call is above the minimum wage, it could turn into a profit center.
A split along the API line is the only way I see it could work.
It is the old concept of a chinese firewall, and Bill needs to decide which side he will be on, and divest of the other side. Most likely would be to spin off the OS development into "The Windows Company", and take the rest as Microsoft. Leave it up to Bill & MS as how to structure itself.
That leaves three places to be in the software world, either side, or in services as a 'bridge' between the two. You can be the dominant player in one of the three areas, like MS would be on the applications side, or a minor player in all three, like Apple. A proportioning formula could be agreed on, similar to the ones used for mergers today.
The Win32 API needs to be published, same as the POSIX standard that Linux was written to.

That is why it is sold as a kit. Who are you going to sue, when you are the person that made it?

Yes. A link to the Freshmeat info page with the rest of the info would be handy as well, on new
software releases.
What icon would represent a special at a butcher shop? USDA "choice" stamp? a pork chop?
It lets them bid Office to large corporations that have gotten the Linux bug.

Isn't the zip+4 unique for any given address and/or PO box?
No, it translates to the "relay" which is the bundle of mail the carrier puts in their bag when the get out of the truck and start walking.
All the folks on my block have the same +4, the
people on the next one have another, because the carrier needs to reload the mailbag in between.
There was news about a year ago, that the USPS was interested in taking over the .us domain, for this purpose.
So they will end up using something like
something@123mainst.90125.usps.us
which would work fairly cleanly with what exists today in that domain.
What would work well is to use the UPC code to key a memory unit in the oven, to record the cook cycle that works best for you.
press start
enter time
press beep (for the stir/turn)
enter time
enter time (repeat till done)

The answer is the freedom of choice.

Supposedly the reason for no DVD version is that Lucas doesn't have the time to "DO" it?
What has to be done, other than duplication?
When I purchase a movie for home use, what I want is an exact copy of the same movie that was shown in theatres. The finished artwork.
Why does the content depend on the media? Other than to try and boost the price?
The key word seems to be "commercial", which would let out previous research and/or governmental computers.
If Linux becomes the hot gamers platform, it will catch Bill G's eye. 3d gaming is one area that is pushing computings directions.
At least if nothing else, MS will spin some fud on why latency is not such a bad thing.
It would be interesting to see how Compaq's (nee Tandem) Non-stop servers fair, since supposedly they can have the OS upgraded without stopping.
It has been a slow year for MS, they haven't had any news stories other than getting hauled into
court.
And MS has played catch up, and hasn't hit any homeruns with its e-anything policies.
Now if/when MS gets broken up, that might make it, but otherwise Bill Gates getting richer just isn't newsworthy.
The average man in the street has heard of, or has been affected in some way by Amazon, or the rest of them.

and Office will be how big by then?
Windows 2010 (aka 2005, 2002, NT6) will ship by the end of the year, MS promises, if it can just get the billion lines of code debugged.

No, keep things in perspective.
Bill is in the shower, and everything in the house goes off, hot water, heat, lights, everything.
Except for one blue screen of death on the master server.
Poetic justice.
OpenBSD has a huge advantage in security, being
from Canada, and not the US of A, it can ship
with heavy encryption enabled, with out
being harrassed.
Someone overseas should take note of the business
model, and make a linux distribution based on
the same ideas.
