The newest version of this document is over 5 years old, I'm pretty sure altavista or google would have figured out how to index it even with the caveman technology of the day. This is the reason I could care less about Linux becoming king of the desktop. It would only magnify the "feed me, feed me" attitude that prevails here today.
linux does what they need and they use it for that
they would rather see effort put into the inner workings to make it more stable and efficient
they don't necessarily care if Joe Bob next door is running it
????
Yes, more adoption gets more development started. But that usually is just to dumb down the rest of the OS/Dist/whatever so you can get more adoption. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Hey, I like eye candy too, and I do use a desktop occasionally. However, people are not assholes just because they don't have the same objectives as you.
I dunno about you, but the mx1000 I have pops up a systray message about my mouse batteries needing recharged. I've had it a few months too. What is exactly new about that?
Is it going to be another $600 card for the real thing, and $150 for a sub-par, labeled new but really the last version reboxed and overclocked like the current generation of video cards?
Yah I know, call me Mr. Run-on
How bout you actually release a version of the real card without 1TB of memory onboard for the people who just want to play every once and a while.
Forget genetic discrimination in the future, I can't even farking sign up for slashdot anymore. Soon I won't be able to get my welfare check because of these stupid turing tests!
Does OO auto-mangle everything you type into crap using its auto formatter? I won't be able to switch to it until it mashes what I type into incomprehensible dribble like word does...
Oh wait that was a Xtensible tag added by M$ called <makeAllDocumentsIllegible/>, and they are crying that the opendoc standard won't pick it up. Thats why they won't support it.
I call BS. I'll wager the amount of money retailers take from people who forget to return the rebate form or jump through its hoops far outweighs people playing their system like this. If it wasn't they would have stopped making cash refunds long ago.
I'm sorry I compared it to an 'import tax', as it muddled the meaning of the comment. My question still stands though. Shouldn't the companies be in trouble, not the consumers?
TFA says it isn't sales tax or a tax on commerce. It's specifically targeted at cigarette distributers, like an import tax at the state level. If anything shouldn't the distributers be liable for the tax since they imported them into the state without paying the tax (and passing it onto the customer)?
For as much as AOL stunk way back where this was concerned you have to give them props for mostly wrangling in their millions of lusers. I with some other cable and dsl providers would take this charge.
Wow, I'd suspected this thinking was going on but I hadn't seen such a blatent statement. This seems to parallel the "we've got more memory and disk so lets throw in bloat instead of running 2x as fast". I have no problem using XML where it makes sense, but if performance is your priority over compatibility, XML rarely makes sense.
I read that too, and while I know alot of p2p schemes use the concept of hubs or supernodes, I would think Ashcroft would have come off far more scary by naming the exact technology.
From this description they could have all have been running web servers and had to have 1-100GB of material to claim membership in the club.
As a conspiracy theorist they could say they are busting big bad p2p users when really they are possibly just busting the old fasioned ones.
The other article mentions Kazaa but doesn't link names to activity so I guess we just have to assume...
Maybe I missed it in TFA, but how was this p2p? The statment "The two sites offered a wide variety of computer software, computer games, music, and movies in digital format, including some software titles that legitimately sell for thousands of dollars, the DOJ says." seems to indicate non p2p pirating activity. Calling it a p2p hub seems to be FUD unless there was an explanation of the technology used.
The first thing that pops into my mind would be for partitioning your machine into slices for hosting/dedicated customers while preventing them from walking on each other or even knowing they are there?
Whats worse? Being photo profiled at the stamp machine, Being manually profiled at the USPS counter (regulations), or Being video profiled at the third party UP-KINK-EX

Gamers shot this down. Somebody started putting hotlinks and icons on their character skins.

What did you say? I didn't read your response.
After all, somebody could be hiding WMDs down there!

Interestingly enough, Tommy Hilfiger's b2b portal was rolled out on Linux. Go figure....

Arrrrgs acronym overdose with nothing to even entice me to open the article...
After the overwhelming success of Passport it was only a matter of time until this happened!
Coming soon. The MPAA compliance kit for parents:
1 Sledge hammer
1 Plastic Bag
*disclaimer: this kit does not check to see if what you are hitting is a computer or not. Not liable for bodily injury*

You are aware that humans coded your managed language right?

When you have to get alot of single spans into a cabinent with little space, just wire 2 spans into a single cable!
