all other versions : crippleware with the level of cripling determinng the price point.
indeed even the server versions could be considered crippleware but you can uncripple them by buying more cals.
thats how companies can make the most money out of a product: make the real thing first and then cripple it so that some markets have to pay more than others (server users pay the most followed by office destop users followed by home users followed by users in countries where ms knows it would sell very few licenses at full price)
otoh on the linux side we are talking about totally different desktop environments often with totally different configuration/administration systems.
WESTERN EUROPE doesn't need anything beyond latin1 (with a few exceptions for loanwords) but its still likely to notice internationalisation problems more than the usa for a couple of reasons.
1: botched introduction of utf-8 is far more likely to be noticed as characters beyond 7 bit ascii are in use.
2: western europe broders onto the rest of europe which most certainly does need more than latin1 including one country that has its own alphabet.
ofc there are some scripts that haven't become type-ised and as such are far far harder to process correctly.
i was under the impression that selinux allowed you to make your systems a lot more secure and it really comes down to if you are prepared to take the trouble to set everything up right.
some people object to having core os libs like the widget set under a license as restricive as the GPL. gpling qt was nessacery to get the opensource zealots who run many of the major distros to accept it. but an os where you have to choose between making your apps gpl, using a different widget set to the users desktop (thereby making your app unlikely to fit in well) and paying whatever trolltech wan't off you (not too bad atm for serious commercial developers but afaict theres nothing stopping them cranking up the price later) can't really be considered a free os imo.
and not to mention the C++ abi issues which make deploying such apps a pita to do right (you think glibc is bad, gnus C++ abi is much worse).
i'm pretty damn sure that the only reason qt is gpl is so trolltech could get it into distros and therefore set themselves up in an ideal position to milk developers of propietry software for linux.
registered memebers by default get an e-mail notification which means they are very likely to come back. Unelss they've bookmarked the post ACs will only come back if they happen to read through the articles comments again and spot thier original post.
and even if an AC does come back noone else can tell if its really the original poster or not.
i'm pretty sure the answer is no so if you rename a file before attaching it will end up with a different mime type (probablly application/octet-stream if your mail client doesn't recognise the extention)
spraying paint on the concrete wall doesn't generally affect its ability to do its original job.
tinyurl is insecure because it allows itself to be flooded with the ultimate implication being either a lot of cost to its owners or denial of service to its legitimate users when the DB fills up. Some kind of rate control would make abuses like the one described in the article impractical.
it was defeated but ms kept breaking the defeats in new service packs etc and there was no real point left in cracking the activation once a keygen for corp was in the wild (individual keys can easilly be blocked in new patch versions, keygens aren't so easy).
the things i remember seeing reckoned they could get wind up to 20% of total generation without too many problems and that i belive.
but even 20% is still dicking arround at the edges. If we wan't to get to the point where renewables are the MAIN source of power then we are going to have to seriously reconsider our grid structure.
you pretty much can't make money by selling the software itself under the gpl because as soon as a few copies are out there someone is bound to start redistributing it either free or for a lower charge than you and you will have no recourse because you put the software under the GPL.
sure you can sell support but thats only feasible with certain types of software
fyi the phrase is actually "Yes, do as I say!" and i had to actually enter it once to make a system upgrade (i think there was some old package on thier that was for some reason marked as essential) but you can bet i took care to triple check what it was listing it would do before i typed that phrase.
the trouble with KDE is it bases on Qt and that means if you wan't to legally make commercial software for it you have to pay trolltech which isn't very attractive.
problem is, most irc channels these days are full of kids that demand attention and instant help, as well as ops and regulars with overgrown egos and a distaste for even helping people who came to the channel after much research on their questions. yeah i'm an op in the main irc channel about a reasonablly well known windows ircd and we do try to help but it gets fucking annoying the sheer number of people who don't understand the basics of tcp/ip networking or configuring thier nat routers to port forward stuff (btw nat router configuration is a HUGE pita to help people with as every router is different).
that might work ok before you were spotted or if you created a new account from scratch but it probablly wouldn't work if they were keeping an eye on what you changed it to.
debian can be updated on the fly with minimal service interruptions (iirc zero interupttion to my source installed irc service and a few minuites down on web service though that could have almost certainly been reduced by manually telling it to upgrade apache first).
and i did the entire process over ssh (the packagers take great care to make sure that existing ssh sessions are not terminated by the upgrade process).

until recently i'd have said a maxtor maxline but it seems that range has moved to 7200 rpm now

umm does any os use mime on the filesystem?
i'm pretty sure the answer is no so if you rename a file before attaching it will end up with a different mime type (probablly application/octet-stream if your mail client doesn't recognise the extention)

/. has rate limiting and the lameness filter to contend with though.........
iirc its very very difficult to breath under even a fairly small depth of liquid unless the air is presurised to match the water pressure

can't you just put a switch every couple of cabinets and therefore keep the bulk of the cable runs short?

just to clarify thats a reset of the uptime counter not of the entire machine
even coca-cola itself tastes different depending on which country it was bottled in and stuff that comes on tap in cafes is different again.
