I searched for 'Microsoft google" and I got as the first result a google page I have never seen before http://www.google.com/microsoft, so I think it actually works!
What he'd really like to see, is for the popular Linux distros to converge on a common core platform
Does this mean that if they released this common core platform, will it be labeled as a 'monopoly'? Or, rather the most functional and easy to use of the Linux distros?
Certain human genes may be evolving, but the rest of the world is overpopulating causing stress on our natural environment. No gene is going to be able to overcome that fact.
Since you need a really high-end PC to play most new games these days, most people will miss out on the new titles and technology. The new dual-core technology is outpacing most users purchasing power and the ability to even play the game on its lowest graphics settings.
A year or two after people spend an avg. of $1000+ for a new system, most are not going to run out and buy the latest dual core chip and ATI/NVidia video card just to play the latest new game (Quake 4, Far Cry, F.E.A.R., etc.) and then keep doing that year after year.
They need to make it so the games can be played (with the lowest settings) on any system with chips from the past 5 years IMHO. Then everyone can enjoy the game, some more detailed than others. At this point, it is just better to buy an XBOX or PS2 and just buy games that they know they can play without constantly upgrading your system.
What this means practically for the vast majority of companies complying with SOX is that the threat to their businesses posed by potential GPL license violations, both inadvertent and intentional, is so low as to be immaterial.
All they were found to be doing was paying the workers for the work they do
Unfortunately, the reality of the exploitation does not match your rhetoric. They were purposely leading them to public assistance, rather than providing them basic benefits.
Wal-Mart was found out to be exploiting the US taxpayer by not providing adequate health benefits to its employees.
How did they do this? They simply printed out instructions (in Spanish and English) to direct their employees to the nearest free clinic in the area.
Illegal? Maybe. Unethical?
Now that you know how they dodge their health costs, you can enjoy an article about the richest Americans.
Five of the Richest Americans are Wal-Mart's owners and relatives of owners.
Maybe we should ask the Waltons how they feel about exploiting US Taxpayers?
Blogs that just repeat Wal-Mart PR, are not blogs, they are PR for Wal-Mart. This is done order to help continue their ways of exploiting their workers and the system.
As part of the government-funded effort, Stanford and Coverity have built a system that does daily scans of the code contributed to popular open-source projects. The resulting database of bugs is accessible to developers, allowing them to get the details they need to fix the flaws, Coverity said.
Just an FYI...AMANDA had the highest amount of bugs at 1.214 Defects / KLOC and OpenVPN the lowest at 0.100 Defects / KLOC.
The gaming fun and festivities began with a round of Counter-Strike Source, went through various strategy games, and was interspaced with bouts of Unreal Tournament 2004 and various single-player games along the way. The machine was in motion for 32 hours straight.
Was this done by one person or a group? From the article you would think that the guy sat there playing games for 32 hours straight.
If it was just one person, this marathon gaming feat should be immediately entered into The Guinness Book of World Records. There are currently no entries for marathon LAN gaming.
The funding will come, unfortunately it is all how you classify it.
A scientific satellite to help observe global warming? NOT in this administration! They don't even want to acknowledge that global warming is happening, let alone help observe it.
If this upsets you, I suggest you vote for a President that actually cares about Science.
Global outsourcing could lead to a race to the bottom where whoever is willing to do a satisfactory job for the least amount sets the standard for those wages.
Either you figure out a way to exploit those low-wage workers, or you end up being one.

This is great news!
Now we need to take it to the next level and find out a way to make these same bacteria eat whole fast food restaurants, and the world will be saved!
All I can say is, it's about time!

Is part of Linux International's new direction to convince Computerworld Australia to use Linux servers?
Because I 'cannot find server.'
I guess what I was trying to say that most people can not afford to keep upgrading their PCs just to play the latest cool game (me included.)
I am all in favor of new tech, just don't forget the people who like new games, but may have old tech.

Does the GPL Violate Sarbanes-Oxley? - No
I don't know... sitting alone in front of my computer with my lighter just isn't the same...
I know what you mean, now everyone is just using the light from their cell phones.
Anyone hacking a computer could be punished with 10 years' imprisonment under new laws.
So we are to assume that the UK will send in 007 to extract and/or annihilate the hackers from China?
P.S. That would be " years " not " years' "
There are police on the internet?!? Oh sh...
Yes there are! You didn't know about Bill O'Lielly's secret police?
Try the new version, its ads are bigger and the privacy intrusions are twice as invasive!
Just don't try to go retro, or we will disable your account and report you to the internet police.
(sarcasm off)
...and at the same time, censoring it!
2GB to be exact, the only drawback is that Google can read each and every one of your emails.
When you learn that fact, it makes it less attractive.

For the World's biggest retailer, how can you not think that this is wrong?

I hacked in, and in 22 minutes changed one of the pixels from #FFFFFF to #F0F8FF, but it is very hard to tell.
In fact, nobody even noticed.

Coming soon, Howard Stern on HAM radio.
