Your latest thrashing around hasn't really added very much, alas...
You do rather give the impression of someone stumbling around in bright daylight complaining loudly about the dark.
There isn't much point repeating the 'point' about os/hardware costs likely to be encountered by the group under discussion for you since it is expressed with more than enough clarity already.
Go back to the begining of the thread, read it carefully, and if you are lucky, the walls of darkness will fall.
Or perhaps not. Perhaps you will continue to trumpet the fact you have "missed it" made - with - as far as I can see - something approaching pride...
Well, yes, of course it depends on the price of the computer. Specifically on the price of computers available to people likely to benefit from the Gates initiative.... Which is fairly low, one would assume... You want to quibble that we don't have an EXACT price? Go ahead! Next you will be declining to believe in "night" on the gounds that it is insufficiently quantitatively demarcated from "day"....
Windows pricing: we have a rough lower figure from what has leaked out about the various hobbled versions on sale, or planned to be, in Thailand and the like...
As for agreeing with George the 3rd - yes - the 4th was a damp squid... You do KNOW your history, don't you? The fact you responded with a question wasn't designed to mask your ignorance, was it? And no - having a quick, desperate google (your immediate plan I assume) doesn't really count as "knowledge..." George the 3rd wasn't actually a BAD King, if you take the reign as a whole.
With regards to "thanksgiving", I have always thought Adam Smith was right - the centre of political power would have followed the centre of economic power to the US and England would have become the colony. We were well shot of them. Blair may be a mandacious clown - but would you REALLY want to be ruled ("governed" no longer seems appropriate....) by Bush? We have a lot to be thankful for.
Which is why I, and many other Brits, celebrate "thanksgiving" on July the 4th... The fact that YOU don't I just put down to ignorance.
Of which you demonstrate more with your every post...
And since he got it by rather dubious business practices in the first place, I can't say I am terribly impressed.

My sites rely on/file.php/some/thing/here/ being parsable as/file/some/thing/here/ - and for that I THINK you need multiviews (please let me know if there is a better way...)
I reckon a GPS based WASS would stop all those "CEETWET" problems that afflict the current implementation, particularly after a night out on the TIE-ALS
... but if I can see there is an internal contradiction, but don't know how to resolve it - what am I to do? Wait? Look it up in the Encyclopedia Britannica and then add it in to the Wikipedia?
I can RELY on a real work of reference. Wikipedia is useful, I use it all the time, but I don't treat it like an encyclopedia, more a "hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy". A place to start, but not to trust.
Don't you think they'd be "spaced out" enough... ?

I took the point to be that some companies may feel they have to build up a patent portfolio merely so that they have something to wave at another company that attacks them with THEIR patent portfolio.
A kind of "mutually assured destruction" stance...
As such, the analogy with the reasoning that lay behind the nuclear arms race seems quite apt.
The dismissal of the question does rather suggest that the speaker did not want to address the point at issue.
Take a look at Tsushima (an island off the coast of northern Kyushu, Japan, just south of South Korea). It is almost complete lit up. But Tsushima is mainly mountains, and fairly sparsely populated... There is nothing there that would generate the amount of light that the image suggests....
I don't doubt the Bert Rutan team are closer to the Xprize - and it is a nice looking ship they have - but it does look a bit like like a glorified aeroplane that hitchhikes into space. Which is - alright....... but difficult to get really excited about.
But the Armadillo ship is a real boy's-own full on VTOL geek rocket ship!
I understand there is a lot of "pschology" at wok here - I have seen some studies in which the speaker colour was changed - and that affected the perceived sound quailty. But as far as I can tell, after lots of fiddling, what I describe is the case.
Well, it sure aint top quality, but it is 'mediocre ok'; Mercury II Tannoy Speakers, Kenwood Kaf 3030R Amp. The CD is a crappy Sony. But the apart from the CD, the the kit is the same for both.
Fot the record, I am playing the CD through an external CD, not the built in Mac CD.
The sound difference is startling. I love my Mac, but if I play Bach or Wagner I burn it first. You just don't get the "depth" on the Mac.

Hell, we'll stay out of your campaigns when your leaders stop describing themselves as "leader of the free world".
Until then, you will just have to live with it.

Do continue...
Your move.
Seen the percentage of a coomputer's cost the OS accounts for?
When they grow up, the fact they have access to a computer at ALL will be - directly or indirectly - because of free (beer and speech) OS's...
Far too many slashdotters are impressed at the way a scoundrel disposes of his ill gotten gains.
BTW... Nothing of importance DID happen on July the 4th. It was on the 2nd that the real action happened.
Which - by the by - means we Brits celebrate "thanksgiving" two days late...
What ELSE can a super rich man do with his money?

There is one very good reason to move to Apache 2 under php: If you use multiviews, with the standard httpd config file Addtype addition for php of:
.php php3 php4 phtml
/file.php/some/thing/here/ being parsable as /file/some/thing/here/ - and for that I THINK you need multiviews (please let me know if there is a better way...)
AddType application/x-httpd-php
then sites will throw 406 errors. Some bits of google (the keitai proxy, for a start) don't like this AT ALL!
There is a workaround for Apache 2, but not (AFAIK) for Apache 1.3 (see here for more info: http://tranchant.plus.com/notes/multiviews

Please the GURLFREND too...
How much profit?
In the short term, very little. In the long term, whole nations are being put on a free OS... So long term, quite a lot, I would have thought.
Why else all these "crippled windows" deals with places like Thailand and India?
Shurely shome mishtake...?

There must be a good reason for such a brain dead "utterly alienate yourself from everyone" move.
1) It's a defensive patent. They are worried someone else will do the same and leave them exposed.
2) They have a cunning plan.
2) They are evil/stupid/shill for Microsoft. The arse shines out of Sun...
Of course the sensible thing would be to patent it and donate it to the EFF (or whoever...)
It doesn't look THAT accurate.
Take a look at Tsushima (an island off the coast of northern Kyushu, Japan, just south of South Korea). It is almost complete lit up. But Tsushima is mainly mountains, and fairly sparsely populated... There is nothing there that would generate the amount of light that the image suggests....
Any idea why this might be?
dead, right...
Don't worry, there will still be enough around for you all to vote for come November....
Which would you rather go to space in?

Not pretty - but WOW!
So ask the men "this pill shrinks your penis by an inch, but makes you way smarter - would you take it?"
Yes.

Try it and see what your mileage is.

The sound difference is startling. I love my Mac, but if I play Bach or Wagner I burn it first. You just don't get the "depth" on the Mac.
Try the following:
1) play mp3 through decent stereo straight from (Quicksilver) Mac.
2) Burn same Mp3 to CD and play through same stereo.
from CD is quite a lot better.....
Why?
All very well, but not much use to most of Slashdot's readership...
What enquiring onanists need to know is which keyboard layout is fastest using just one hand....
