No? Who's bigger and more well-known amongst todays geeks: Stallman on Linus? I'll bet there's a bunch of young whippersnappers out there who have never heard of rms. (HEY YOU KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN!) Compare to Linus. Not since Ken has a hacker been known universally by his first name only. If I say 'Linus' in the context of software, you immediately know I'm talking about the blanket-holding, piano-playing kid in the Peanuts cartoon.
The bottom line is that FSF cannot realistically release a GPLv3 that doesn't have Linus' stamp of approval. Linux is just too big a part of the Free software community to ignore. Of course Stallman and/or Eben Moglen had to convince Linus. It seems to be that at least some of changes were in direct response to his criticisms.
That's similar to what we found. Note that at 20 servers (10 a piece for 2 of the larger servers), your savings is about 36%. That's huge. One thing I noticed with your spreadsheet, though, is that you don't take into account the extra manpower needed to maintain the hypervisor. We found that we needed one more admin per physical server, and that he/she had to be pretty skilled above and beyond our Windows and UNIX admins (= more $$$) but YMMV.
Actually, I've worked for a place that uses VMWare on some of its production servers. They spend really ridiculous amounts of money on a really big server with a bunch of CPUs (one has at least 96), and then use VMWare ESX Server to run multiple virtual servers on the same box. It's actually a good approach, since ESX server uses hypervisor virtualization, which gives you much lower overhead than traditional virtualization while giving finer-grained control over the resources each virtual server gets.
It's actually not a bad approach, and even works well for servers with a lot of load. I'd like to see *that* technology tested rather than plain-ol' VMWare Server.
Well, it's 2 months faster -- 11 months - 2 months = 9 months or almost 20% faster.
Wait, my keyboard is being taken ove----
Great! So now we can say that Blu-Ray hit the 100,000 unit milestone at almost twice the rate of population growth since 1998! Thanks, Intron!

Most, if not all of the names on the list are non-English surnames. And I couldn't find a single U.S. Congresscritter on the list, though there were plenty of Congress/MPs/Presidents/Dictators/etc. from other countries, most of them in Bush's 'Axis of Evil'.
Yeah, I've even seen some uninstallers that no only check if the file exists, which usually only involves a directory scan, but also they try to open the file for some reason, maybe to see if it isn't in-use.
Sllllooooowwwww....bottom line is you can't base delete times on an OS by how long and uninstaller takes. Uninstallers sometimes do all kinds of stupid things. After all, they're intended to be used only once, so no one usually complains about the performance of that sort of program. Which is why most of them are created using some kind of installer/uninstaller toolkit like Install Shield.
No, you're right. I'm familiar with AlphaImageLoader, and I also know that it's very broken. However, it also requires special coding considerations to be taken by the Web developer, unlike using a normal PNG with transparency, which requires nothing special.
Actually, Netscape Navigator didn't have PNG support until version 4.04. And PNG support in IE browsers 4.0-6.0 has been abysmal. IE 4 will crash on any PNG with metadata, and IE 5-7 have problems with proper gamma support. And IE 4-6 doesn't support PNG transparency, at least not in anyway that's useful.
It may very well be a good package, but until such time they use PNG for their screenshots, going through the tour involves squinting hard. Unfortunately no schooners appear, begging the question why JPEG was used to start with.
I'll ignore your blatant misuse of the phrase 'begging the question', but answer your specific question: JPEG was probably chosen because not all browsers support PNG -- especially true of older versions of IE -- but, they do all support JPEG.
Both Labour and Conservative have become middle-of-the-road capitalist socialist parties who chase after the swing voters, identified using A Classification Of Residential Neighbourhoods (ACORN). From this, they know that there are some segments of the population who will always vote Labour (the immigration/state benefits industry) and other segments who will always vote Conservative (business owners), so they will never change. Instead, they go after those voters where a small change in taxation can make them believe they are financially better off or doing something for the environment.
IOW, it's just exactly how it is the United States, except with a bit of British flare. You have the two major parties (with a ton of minor parties that sometimes get elected, but mostly not), both of which are basically capitalist/socialist, pandering to the 'swing' vote, but keeping their 'core constituencies' faithful by basically towing the party line on the issues they think they care about once they get elected, but pandering to the swing voters in order to get elected in the first place by promising things these voters care about. Gotcha.
Yes, but aren't the Tories the Conservative Party? Perhaps I'm just dumb, uninformed American who doesn't understand the intricacies of British politics (very likely the case), but conservatives here (Republicans) don't typically champion environmental causes or care much about alternative OSes like Linux.
I agree 1000%. My favorite stuff on YouTube is the homemade videos. I like some of the funny satirical stuff, some of the parodies, some off the wall stuff like the "Mentos and Diet Coke" phenomenon (when it first began making the rounds), and eyewitness videos of news items, natural disasters, etc. in particular. Who cares about anything else? If I want to watch the Colbert Report that I'm going to miss, I've got a DVR. If I want to watch movies, I've got a Netflix membership and free movies on-demand on my cable system.
You can giggle all you want, but OpenSUSE is the ONLY distro that I have ever used that I didn't have to hack at various config files for 2 hours to make dual monitors work. Get back to me when Ubuntu can do dual monitors out of the box.
Get an nVidia-based card and use the nVidia proprietary drivers. Once you install them, setting up dual monitors is as easy as adding one line to xorg.conf, or turning it on with nvidia-xconfig
1) There is no indication that a jury was involved. Trial by Jury is a right. It is not compulsory. Many corporate court battles take place without a jury because it reduces the risks associated with jurries
FTFA:
U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton approved Verizon's request for a block today in Alexandria, Virginia. Hilton said he won't sign the order before a hearing in two weeks on Vonage's request for a stay. A jury found March 8 that Vonage infringed three patents and should pay Verizon $58 million.
BTW -- The right to trial by jury extends to criminal cases. This is a civil corporate litigation case, not a criminal case.
Cable companies are offering great bundles on their digital phone service bundled with high-speed Internet and digital cable. Comcast and Bright House Networks both offer service that competes with Vonage on price, but not on features. If I had to jump ship, that's where I'd go.
(Disclosure: I've been a Vonage customer for more than 2 years, but I did turn down the IPO.)
This is what happens when you have technical cases decided by 12 ordinary citizens too stupid to get out of jury duty. It's why IBM doesn't want the SCO case to go to trial without a finding from the judge that it didn't infringe on any of SCO's copyrights. (If the summary judgement is granted and it does go to trial, the jury has to proceed on the idea that IBM hasn't violated any of SCO's IP.)
Verizon is just suing to keep Vonage -- and every other company offering a similar service -- from making it irrelevant in the home phone market. Which is exactly what's happening.

Probably not, but I'll bet someone could write a GnomeVFS plugin.
I said most.
Charles Taylor happens to be the president of Liberia, a nation on Bush's 'Ax15 0f da 3vil!' list.

The mods have no sense of humor today, I guess.
I did. And she was naked. And petrifiedq, of course. I even put hot grits on it! Nobody cared. Very sad, indeed.

Sure you could. It could be a two stage battery:
Take Mountain Dew + Human Being = sugar from mt dew + sugar/energy from human being ---sugar battery process---> energy!
I'm tired. Time to go get more caffeine!

Linux is significantly higher in caffeine, too.
