Maybe if you are autoattacking orc pawns in Kaladim, but try raiding or kiting... it is far from the stability of the client under Windows and you will sock up more than a few deaths per week (Evening, even) to wine.
Again, as he said, it is a civil matter. Someone must bring the issue to the courts (Buran vs. EvilSpammer) and that starts the process. The courts are not the starting point, the people are. That's the beauty of the system.
did Linux sell 7 million copies? I don't think so. Take a look at this article, a few years dated but shows a trend that has existed for years. Linux doesn't sell copies. So what metric do you want? Number of sold boxes? No, no, Windows wins that one. Market share? No, Windows wins that one too...
No, it doesn't. Hell, Apache still has twice as much market share as IIS.
Funny though, cause according to Netcraft IIS has been making solid gains since January. You will notice the GP says "continues to grow", as in a "rate of change" which is true according to Netcraft. You lied and said "Apache has twice the market share of IIS" which is barely true (won't be in a few months if the trends continue) but you ignored the valid point of the grandparent post. Fanboi.
Fact is Microsoft is the big gorilla in the OS business. And they haven't declined yet. Will Vista be the turning point? I don't know. But Windows is still **the** dominant OS. They are very relevant. Until computers make the transition to being completely OS-less, networked devices (a transition I hope they never make), operating systems will be a relevant point (web and digital media, sure, whatever... they are fun to watch videos at night but 98% of us don't make our money doing that, but a good chunk of us **do** make money writing software **locally**, recardless of OS. Microsoft is very relevant, you are very short sighted.
but Microsoft defenders are like young Republicans--strange, militant outcasts who never get invited to parties and never get laid.
Heh, half right, I am Republican, I use Linux and Windows (2 boxes at work, 2 boxes at home, 1 RH, 2 WinXP, 1 Slack), I have plenty of friends of all persuasions and I have a very attractive wife. Stop trolling.
This is the same federal agency that has let the food industry poison us for decades
Too dumb to read a food label? All the constituents are clearly labeled.
So the food industry would rather save a few cents per package, and doesn't care about poisoning the average american citizen. The FDA has been complicit in this, and has let them get away with it for decades, only in the last couple years have they actually required food companies to even list the amount of trans-fats included in food items. This is for a substance that the FDA has determined there is no safe amount.
Yes. Determined in 2002. How were they supposed to enforce a ban / labeling on a substance unknown to be dangerous until studies were concluded in 2002?
No thanks. I don't trust the FDA to protect me
Again... are you too dumb to protect yourself? Can't read a label? Can't get outside the groupthink? I feel sorry for you.
to the following groups:
- gamers, who have specific games which exist on specific platforms
- programmers, who have code, and tools, and toolkits, some of which may be platform specific
- Anyone who has been "around awhile" and has invested dollars in software. For example, software I still use on a regular basis under Windows predates 2000 and I don't see a Linux offering worth giving it up for.
Intel's Classmate PC is beefier than the OLPC - faster processor (900MHz), 1GB of flash (double the current iteration of half a gig), twice the RAM, XP embedded SP2, and costs about $100 more due to the larger processor and memory.
AND you don't have to buy them a million at a time like the OLPC.
Initial prototypes have generated a great deal of interest, and Intel claims that orders have been received from Mexico, Nigeria, India, and Brazil. It is worth noting that India evaluated the OLPC 2B1 laptop and decided not to purchase any.Source.
As I mentioned, everything is replaceable, including the kernel
Then it wouldn't be called "Linux", making the argument null and void.
RMS doesn't have a point. He's all talk and no action. What has he done in the past 10 years but preach to a bunch of geeks? Contrast that to Torvalds, or Alan Cox, or open source developers at IBM, or BSD developers... these are the people driving the open source and even free software movement. RMS's head is so big he hasn't seen anything past his neck in ages.
...all of which are replacable. Intel compiler (yes, it compiles the kernel). A plethora of shells, tons of (truly) free/BSD utils that are 1 for 1 with the GNU utils.
Define "proper". Define "simple". Sure, a definite integral is the area under the curve defined by a function; that's proper. That's simple. And it's completely incomprehensible to the average student new to calculus.
No, integrals are incredibly simple to show to a student. You walk up to the board and draw a function. You then ask the class what an integral is. When they don't know (assuming noone has had AP or failed, and remembers) start shading the area under the curve.
Remember kiddies - math has meaning. It isn't just an abstraction. Make your teachers show you the meaning and relationships.
I think he forgot an "f", making it 25-30% off that, which is completely reasonable for a desktop machine. 2000$ - 600$ = 1400$ which is what you cite.
My $900 computer that I built in February - everything except a monitor, mouse and keyboard - runs Vista beta 2, Aero just fine. Snappily, I might add. And yea, it should be amortized in the IT refresh cycle.

Intel's offering is beefier and costs ~$100 more. Also note that Intel doesn't have a minimum order of 1,000,000 units unlike the OLPC project.
Reiser: I kill people!
So no, I can't file a lawsuit.
An individual could still sue as an ISP if (s)he ran a mail server, but this would likely be cost-prohibitive.
You answered your own question. If you really gave a damn you could do something about it instead of bitching.

this is what he's talking about. And it looks like a fixed wing, not rotary wing crash. Speculation will be held until further data is revealed.
Again, as he said, it is a civil matter. Someone must bring the issue to the courts (Buran vs. EvilSpammer) and that starts the process. The courts are not the starting point, the people are. That's the beauty of the system.
XP did not sell over 7 million copies

Demand generation.
... a release date. Then you can generate media.
You mean like, posters/advertisements/mailers with an actual release date? You know, stuff they can't do now due to legal entanglements?
In order to advertize a release date you neeed
after all, they oursource too. What are you going to buy, Cyrix? *snicker*.
or you lost your job first because your math skills blow. Check your math.
... in a row?

Those political views created open source, without which the OLPC project could not achieve its goals.
