O.K., clown, how long from Unix to Linux? Now, go sit down.
Don't you think that the word "competitor" is a bit strong? Come on! That's like saying your dad singing in the shower is competition for Adrea Bocelli.
All well and good. But, if there are any MS related call centers or tech centers in that state, MS should close them. Then, we'll see what happens to the fr*cking outsourced help.
Yes, I'm all for wiping out 3rd world debt, but I'm also for wiping out the economies that harm the U.S.
Go MS, take that commie's, RMS, adherents and show them what-for.
Mercury - oops, no, that was someone in the Eisenhower admin.
Gemini - oops, no, not GWB or his friends, again.
Atlas - oops, no.
Saturn - nope.
Apollo...
This ain't even fun.
I like the guy less than most, but Jesus-Jumping-on-a-Pogo-Stick-Christ, how in the blazes did you connect GWB with Orion? Are you one the unreasoning crowd that have to find some sort of Bush-evil in everything that happens?
the craft's current rate of acceleration as it heads away from the sun is not consistent with current gravitional laws.
Could you amend that to read, "is not consistent with our current understanding of gravity" or "is not consistent with our apparently flawed gravitational laws"?
Really, I wish they would stop calling these things "law". Every generation sees a bushel of these "laws" being thrown out, adjusted, or ignored.
The Universe doesn't play by our "laws", it just waits until we understand Its LAWS.
I learned typing the old way, on a mechanical Underwood. I still love my CAPS LOCK key. If modern computer users can't figure out how to use it properly, then maybe we should declare war on them.
Maybe it's time for the hunt-and-peck gang to learn to type?
...the program and its derivative work will neither be modified or executed to harm any human being nor through inaction permit any human being to be harmed.
This license is incredibly flawed. Ignore the military application. Follow the next scenario:
A researcher sets up a GPU network, and calculates the trajectory of several NEO's. One of them is calculated to hit Suva, Fiji. The researcher takes no action, Suva is hit, thousands of Fijians on a kava break die (because of the kava, they don't realize they are dead until the next morning), GPU has just been used in violation of the license.
One of you do a GPU model on the new Boeing 797. The model indicates a flaw in structural support. You say nothing. In a month, a 797 drops out of the sky because of the same projected failure. You call up a radio talk show and say you calculated that months ago and Boeing engineers should have seen the fault. You just violated the license.
Not meaning to burst their bubble, but the military is not really interested.
This concept is not unique, and from a military standpoint, its not really they way they would want to do it. It does not have the security they would want to use. The military has their own alternatives.
At best, this is a bunch of people with a highly evolved sense of themselves, and a misunderstanding of their own importance. At worst, this is an stand by impotent idealogues railing against that which is bigger than themselves.
Good God, man. It's bigger than all that. It has nothing to do with Bush. This started years and years before Bush, or even his father. Does it make you feel good to parrot Air America? You accuse Bush of parroting Fox News. Both have it wrong. You are just the reverse side of the same coin Bush is on.
The real problem is that:
Appeasement - Doesn't work, thats just "negotiating with the cannibals about who gets eaten last". Endless chest beating and trying to figure out why "they" hate us is just that.
Cease Fires - Don't work. History has shown that. As long as you give the other side time to regroup, rearm, reinvigorate, you do not have peace.
Negotiation - Doesn't work with non-nation state movements. Reference the Barbary pirates.
Lastly, you are way off-topic, unless hidden in there, was the secret to finding spare seats on chartered flights, and I'm off-topic for replying to you.
Face it, when you have pathetic poser kids from the upper and middle classes playing the wannabe role, and trying to emulate the worst of a lower-class element, paying for the games, who is going to target some other audience?
Then, you have the lower-classes paying for games instead of shoes and food for the kids, why wouldn't game manufacturers target them?
Oh, add 'Age of Sail' to the growing list of 'high brow' games. But note, none of the high brow games listed here have gotten the sales that GTA have gotten. Not while white kids, whose moms drive BMWs, think they are the new gangsta second coming of Tupac.
Well, almighty you, you may have identified a need there. So, tell you what, instead of getting on your bitch-wagon, sit down, write a new access layer, and make it easier for folks.
I've noted that 2005 contains a number of solutions that 3rd party's developed to ease the way on 2000.
VS2005 contains a lot of ideas that 3rd party's came up with, and were paid handsomely for. An aquaintence made a bundle when MS bought him off. He's a self-employed consultant now.
...I'm sorry, did that sound good? Or, was it your intent to just complain to hear yourself be self-righteous?
Meanwhile, Amnesty International has placed Google and other biggies on their list of Internet companies who are helping the oppressors and not the opressed. (http://news.amnesty.org/index/ENGACT300162006)
Of course the story was spiked by the editors of a particular nerd news site.
First, making a company give competitors trade secrets in immoral.
Second, I would love to see Microsoft use the WGA (not Writer's Guild of America) to switch off all the Windows installs in the EU. Frack with us, we'll frack with you. But then, I never imagined Ballmer as the Tony Soprano type.

Wow, 1968? 38 years from concept to implementation? And idiots were giving the FreeDOS folks a hard time for their release schedule. :)

In Italy, "Andrea" is typically a man's name. But, in this day and age, you can have your own strokes.

Cause we know it was GWB that named:
This ain't even fun.
I like the guy less than most, but Jesus-Jumping-on-a-Pogo-Stick-Christ, how in the blazes did you connect GWB with Orion? Are you one the unreasoning crowd that have to find some sort of Bush-evil in everything that happens?
They represent you!
And..
Apparently, they are represetitive of you.
Let it go, man. Do you realize you just used a Geek forum discussion about bio-fuel to go on about your ex-wife?
It's not worth it to carry that baggage.
Besides, I could tell you a few things about my ex-wife that would...
Could you amend that to read, "is not consistent with our current understanding of gravity" or "is not consistent with our apparently flawed gravitational laws"?

Now there's a cause...no, nevermind.

Have peed on a few electric fences. One I felt. I think there are conditions where when the right things line up, you get a numb pecker.
Yes. Here, here.
Remember, Linux was made to make developers lives more easy. Not users. What do you expect for free?
Part of making it more easy is that developers can foist crappy UI, crap docs (if any), and a supreme case of L33Tism and to say, just RTFM.

This, being slashdot, and highly g33k4 u be down an be hating on wut it is we be written?
Sorry, channeling my Digg profile.
Great! A new tool to allow ex-husbands, psycho-girlfriends, angry drivers, etc. track down or profile their victims.
