To be honest with you, pine was considered a newbie mail client back in the day. It's like seeing someone use Pico as their default editor, real users would use MUTT and VIM. In a way this is like you saying that Pico is better than because you like it that way.
"Google is like the Borg,... the robotic species on "Star Trek" that was forcibly assembled from millions of species and computer components... no other carrier or enterprise that distributes applications on top of their computing resource as effectively as Google."
All the more reason... To avoid the GPL. I thought it was supposed to make things simpler, not have all of these caveats and 'gotchas'. I understand the next version of the GPL is supposed to eliminate these, but then there's the problem with dealing with multiple versions of the GPL.
It's sadly true...
The GPL is far too restrictive. I do not believe the FSF will ever 'force' any of the major GPU makers to open source the software.
... but they could always switch to the FreeBSD kernel, they already have a Gentoo/FreeBSD project going on.
I have heard a lot about mainfraimes (heck, I work for the gov and we rent a 3M+/year Unisys mainframe for certain sensitive databases)... but I have never seen statistics that show *how much better* those mainframes are...
Does anyone know of any (non VENDOR) studies & comparisons vs traditional computer architectures?
it already exists, try ln -s/usr/bin/vim/usr/bin/evim... then just call evim. It will respond like any other joe editor would. But then you don't gain anything from it, the true power of vim relies on your ability to stay off 'Insert' mode.
One of the best ways to detrmine if someone's *ix experience is limited to Linux, or if they have experience with Solaris, AIX, etc. Also how they use ps is a dead givaway.
Not true, At my university they run all sort's of Sun/Solaris/*/Linux boxes, most Sun products come with *FOUR* versions of ps.
BSD:/usr/ucb/ps
Posix:/usr/xpg4/bin/ps
GNU:/usr/local/bin/ps
SYSV:/usr/bin/ps
I have a global.zshrc for all the machines I use (Work, school, home) and it sets the corrects paths depending architecture... thus, I can stick to one standard.
It's not always good to learn all the tricks, pick one tool and learn it completely and thoroughly.
They like to have a lot of pages so they.....NEXT PAGE... can show a lot more ads and increase thir pageviews...NEXT PAGE... But the joke is on them really...NEXT PAGE... Because most of us block ads anyway
Bear Stearns analyst Robert Peck not only liked the AOL deal, he also speculated Google could be on the verge of entering the hardware space, with some sort of "Google Cube," a small box with various wireless ports, which could be used to connect a personal computer, stereo, or personal video recorder.
"In fact, Google could over time become more of a hardware company than anything else," Peck wrote in a research note.
Prior to replying, I'd like to remind everyone that making statements such as: JOHN shoud die by mahi-mahi. Where "JOHN" is replaced with an identifying name that represents the president or his family, or a former president may cause a lot of trouble. Dont even type the statement since your words are being monitored currently
If you ask google to justify every detail of their pricing, you may as well demand it of oil companies & every other business.
But in the oil industry, the price goes up and down and every customer pays the same ammount. The difference ammount here is stratospheric AND it varies with each customer. While not illegal this does not justify a claim of "NOT EVIL"
Bah, it's 5 AM... Errata:
1 - You you're your brother for.. -> You send in your brother for
2 - now can make more money from you -> now Google can make more money from you
Google has been beating market analyst's expectation with absurdly high numbers again and aging [1]. And I tell you what; the demand for ads is NOT increasing at the same speed that the profits are growing. The internet economy is still growing anemically. These days it seems that you are not measuring the rate at which Google is growing, but the rate at witch the Google growth is growing =D ! It's the fact that people are getting SCAMMED. Mod me down on this if you want, paying more isn't giving you more. Paying more put you at a higher bracket, now can make more money from you That is if the theory behind Cringey's friend is correct.
Let's try this analogy: You are in New York, you decide to open up a business selling stilettos [2] but you are not getting many customers. You go to the local ad company and make a request for marketing. I'd like more women of ages 20 - 35 (or similar demographic) to be exposed to my store. Instead of giving you the price of each billboard/newspaper per month they say: You know kiddo, we have other shoe stores wanting to advertise for that same demographic, how about this: you choose a price, whatever you want for each customer that walks into your door with our ads. The more you pay, the more customers walk into your store. You give them the money, women flock to your store you are good.
Now you decide to go and open a store with a different name on another side of town. You sell the same exact merchandise same requested demographic. You you're your brother for the same negotiation with the ad agency, except you pay TEN times more for each customer. You end up getting only 20% more customers for 1000% the price. So you say screw this, I'll pay the ad agency only 4x the money. Ad company looks at you: Ah, he was paying good money but decided to downgrade... We'll show him. And your new store gets 20% less customers although paying 400% more in ads. Are you getting your money worth for it? What if that was the Military paying for ads for recruitment? A company can only earn so much (I cant' remember on top of my head it's between 10 and 20 percent profit). Halliburton is being demonized for overcharging at max 5% over quota. What if Halliburton says: We'll deliver 20% more if you pay us 1000% ? The company would be eaten alive by media scrutiny. What is Halliburton charged 400% more to the feds than the state government? Well since the states have quotas while the feds can print their money they should be charged more... eh?
This is not even an auction. Halliburton would burned at the stake for this behaviour. It has been said and let me repeat it, Google may strive to be non evil but IT CAN NOT. They are a public company and by definition they must work to earn more money. It's the law!
But you say: I'm a consumer, I don't buy ads, why should this bother me? Ah but the more each company pays for ads the more they must earn... and you are their revenue.
