So exactly what gap are you filling that Best Buy isn't already doing? Their starting point is 15k, and they can go up from there... Sounds like the "client base" you're going after would much rather have a large corporation like Best Buy backing it up because they know Best Buy will be around in 5 years if something breaks. What exactly are you offering outside of being a fly-by-night (regardless of whether or not you really are, that's what you'll represent for about 10 years)?
And where in that commercial license does it say you can't use debian? Again, nobody is stopping you from using it and paying a third party for support. You never needed a commercial contract to write commercial software for Firebird or PGsql, this changes nothing....
So they're going to spend billions implementing encryption on the wire why? AT&T of all carriers should see what a stupid investment that is. NOBODY in their right mind would trust them with secure data anymore. Cats out of the bag, you help the gov't spy on people. As if I or anyone else is going to believe you won't give the US Gov't special access to unencrypted data. Leave encryption up to the end users.
Those are a bunch of third party companies, and a search of that page returns nothing for "debian". As a poster above has said, nothing is stopping ANYONE from opening up their own third party company to support mysql on debian.
I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather pay a one time 200$ fee for my cellphone, have it unlocked, and be able to take it with me to whichever carrier, than to have an early termination fee. Heck, I already do this anyways, WITH the early termination fee. The early termination fee is not to recoup costs on the phone, it's the wireless providers way of making you stick with them, and it's sad. Make me pay retail for the phone straight from the phone companies and provide me service as it should be. Can you imagine if we had to buy our televisions from Comcast and it only worked on their cable network!??? Am I the only one who sees how ridiculous the whole thing is?
I don't want this to come out the wrong way, but I know it'll probably get me flamed so I'll just spit it out. How exactly do you manage to go down from *only* 400Mbit/sec? No offense but that's not even a drop in the bucket in 2006 where it's commonplace to have a gigabit line running into one server. You guys really need to step back and take a look at your infrastructure if that's all it takes to go down. I realize this is somewhat a rhetorical question, to give you something easier to answer: What is your current infrastructure (although you may not want to say as it would give information to future attackers), and do you have a plan in place so that you can withstand what is in reality a tiny attack in the future?
The Firefox teams real intent here was to keep all the geek's off myspace, or any "social networking site" for that matter. Shame on all of you for not knowing better!
No, they continued to use force as he continued to resist arrest. Screaming about the patriot act while refusing to get up is not complying. They are full in the right to taze you again if you are still resisting arrest....
No, because they make money off that extra "crap". That's what people on this site don't seem to understand, the reason dell ships all the shit on the "low end" PC's is because it allows them to make profit on the extra shit they dump on it. I say bring on the spyware of the default install, I'm just going to reload it as soon as I get it anyways. I'll gladly save 60$ to have a copy of windows pre-installed that I'll never use.
... you're honestly complaining sun dropped support for a piece of hardware that's what? 15 years old now? Darn them and trying to innovate by not wasting time on old hardware! You act as if they didn't remove it from Solaris10 before they even released opensolaris...
You. The cost of IE is bundled into the cost of Windows. If you'd like Microsoft to sell IE separately from windows, perhaps that's what should have been asked.
And? All that tells you is that the default is GOOD ENOUGH. It's funny how everyone complains that Microsoft is GIVING IE away and that's *unfair*. Until the price of windows is 0$, you paid for IE.
...so what you're saying is you're talking out of your ass? Have you taken a look at all the projects RHEL contributes to in the open source community? All those other "free" distro's you use would be nothing without Red Hat's contributions...
Sounds to me like they're trying to smoke Redhat out. Undercut their pricing until they have to drop their own pricing to the point they no longer make money. Then it's simply a matter of purchasing Redhat at the new low low discount price.
That sounds an awful lot like a monopoly. Refer yet again to the fact for some reason you see no problem with that when Apple does it, but if MS does they're the devil and should be sued to oblivion by the EU...

And that would buy you what? Neither of those solutions are offering enterprise support for Debian either...

It's called a TOE, and they've been around a long time :)

Correction, will be sucking taxpayers dry. Those are state employee's, and the money will come from us.
*most people* have no clue how to install windows, and would much rather have it come on the computer straight from dell.
"Someone else" would've hopefully been bright enough to concentrate on Afghanistan so the issue never would've come up...

I'm using firefox 2.0 here, it works just fine.
And what's the requirement to install it? Ahh, right, a valid windows license...

Maybe some of us would rather have no naked pictures at all than pictures of ugly girls...

IF? It's not IF, it's WHEN. How do you think Redhat is going to pay developers when Oracle undercuts their only money generator?

How about an Iranian court... whitehouse.gov anyone?
