I'm more of a "but how am I gonna pay my huge mortgage, lease my Accord/Jetta, and feel superior to black security guard and Mexican groundskeeper?" type, but I get your drift. When I was young, I thought I'd never get under the man's thumb, but there's no way to beat the system.
Cmon, anyone could have reported that same story about any president back to the day wire tap was invented. It just happens to be they were right about Watergate, and that the media had a gripe against Nixon because he ended the Vietnam war and killed their ratings
I didn't mean they killed it on purpose. Even if it was only money (that's all it'd take for me) it was definitely a setback. Granted, bundling IE has done its share too but people wouldn't buy Microsoft if they weren't angry already.

Apache 2.0 vs. IIS

What is Microsoft's definition of 'concurrent'?
i remember using IIS on my Win2k Pro computer and after a dozen or so periodic refreshes (after editing html) I got the max users error. It wouldn't go away even after I closed down all open IE and Netscape windows and waiting several minutes.
but, given the number of inaccuracies and misleading statements in the article, it doesn't sound very knowledgable.
It claims:
The longtime competitors have fought over an array of rival consumer technologies lately, including online subscription services, instant-messaging systems and Web-based video and audio players.
Implying that AOL has its own video and audio players (winamp may be owned by AOL, but it has never been a point of dispute; and Real Audio is not an AOL product)
AOL Time Warner could use the deal to couple its America Online software, the market leader with more than 33 million Internet subscribers, with Red Hat's operating-system technology, sources said.
Nevermind that not a single one of those users uses "Red Hat's" operating system, and few would be likely to switch.
the AOL software could be configured to override Windows and launch a version of Red Hat's Linux operating system
Though technically possible, this would be illegal, and marketing suicide. Wipe your hard drive clean with new AOL 2.4.11!
An even graver challenge to Microsoft would be for AOL Time Warner to develop a rival operating system that works exclusively with the media giant's own Internet service provider, its Web browser or proprietary content
Pure speculation. But, of course, if it were based on Linux, it would be easy to circumvent, unless vi becomes an anti-circumvention device under the DMCA.
AOL Time Warner has already tried to counteract Microsoft on other fronts, including rebuilding its Netscape Web browser business to better compete against Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer.
Actually, AOL has all but killed Netscape.
Netscape technology has been incorporated into a Gateway Inc. tabletop Internet terminal and Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 2 video-game console.
Does Netscape run on PS2? I don't know.
Linux also runs the Sony product.
If they had said "Linux also may run on the Sony product" it would be true, but still misleading.
thanks to an initiative by a programmer named Linus Torvalds who organized volunteers to write the original source code
This doesn't give Linus enough credit, or the "volunteers" who still write the source code.
Linux has yet to be adopted widely by consumers, largely because it requires some technical proficiency to install.
Actually, this is a common misconception, but installation, these days, is the easiest part of using Linux. Administration can still be a bear, though, to newcomers.
Red Hat has claimed such big clients as Amazon.com Inc. and International Business Machines Corp.
I don't even know what this statement is trying to claim.
I hope the Ukranians and the rest of the world realize that many Americans do not support the actions of our government and its sponsoring corporations. We live under an oppressive regime that is, at present, focusing more of its energies on oppressing foreign nations, instead of its own citizens.
We are forcing the rest of the world to follow our laws, that's why the economic sanctions are enforced by the WTO, and we are demanding other countries stop trading with the Ukraine.
No, the USA (and at our command, most of the other countries that do trade with the Ukraine) is refusing to buy exports from Ukraine, which acounts for half of their national product.
Listed in the article were steel and shoes, aparently two of the larger exports.
bozo and me can't get access to it, no matter how much we pay, on account of the airlines (and travel services) don't want me to know what possible prices are available. They're business depends on it. If everyone knew there were a dozen open seats in first class and 50 in coach on the flight I wanted to take from LA to Boston, they couldn't get away with their pricing scheme.
GE makes light bulbs, power, appliances, jet engines, sitcoms, sattelites, investments, food, and a whole lot more. They're not called the biggest corporation in the world for nothing.
no, the meaning of capitalist is just changing. It is increasingly becoming an oligarchy of corporations owned a (mostly) hereditary class of priveledged individuals that exploits the other classes. 4 types of corporations account for the overwhelming majority of wealth in modern capitalist society. Banking/investments, insurance, sales, and manufacturing, in roughly that order. Notice that the only one (and smallest) that actually produces anything. Services and agriculture make up significantly smaller segments of industry.
There is a collusion between corporations and government. And by corporating, I mean those idividuals that profit from corporations. The former do no usually pay taxes. They "trade" in expenses with each other. A large widget company , foo, that would normally pay X in taxes, creates a "loss" of X-$1 to by selling widgets "below cost" to companies bar and baz, who in turn loss money to each other, and foo. To top it off, they lobby (bribe) the government to pay them tax "incentives" from our money, and also to help eliminate competition from company bang.
Why vote in local elections when you are likely to know (?) more about figures at the national level than local officials such as school boards, city councils, etc.
I've never been accused of cheating in programming class. Mocked for massively inefficient code, sure, but I'm looking to save keystrokes, not cycles, anyway:)
what makes you think construction isn't like this?
Programming is no more complex or harder or easier than any of a number (undetermined) another disciplines. Building happens to be a particularly apt comparison. Why do you think there are so many borrowed terms, like, for instance 'build'?
