The first and the second are good for home use, the terminal services only for business use.
Oh, man, you have no idea. I use RDP and terminal services daily around the house. Until I found mpd and Pitchfork, it was how my music machine ran. I still use RDP to another old computer that runs my IRC and Pidgin stuff (VNC and NX ran like shit, but RDP was fine, so RDP it was).
Terminal services is a vastly underappreciated piece of awesome.
In other words, he's a pissy twat who wants to pay an unrealistically low amount (totally ignoring infrastructure costs, etc.) rather than pay the already-stupidly-cheap rate.
I said the same thing for a while, until my new laptop came with Vista. It's actually pretty nice. The transparency isn't as jarring as it feels the first time you use it, and the glass effects are pretty muted.
Please stop thinking that Open Source == Public Domain.
Because, really, I totally obviously think that it's public domain. I only just advocated the fucking CDDL. Shut the fuck up, you monkey-brained cretin.
GPL is specifically written to make sure that it can only be used by pieces of software that are similarly licensed.
And that's why it's unethical: because it attempts to dictate its morality on other people. It's headfucked.
No, the actions of those folks were unethical.
But, and here's the thing, the BSD license allows them to do that! That's precisely the behaviour that use of the GPL seeks to stop!
By locking everybody else into a set of chains. Grow the fuck up, fatbeard.
you want something that you can use without having to open up the rest of your source, or preferably even your own additions and changes (or is LGPL ok by you?).
Personally, I'm A-OK with the LGPL with one exception: it's too easy to make it GPL later. I very much prefer the MPL or CDDL, which makes the demarcation of must-share-changes at the code file boundary rather than the process boundary. I can have Foo.c under the CDDL and be obligated to release all changes, while Bar.c in the same project may be under a proprietary license.
The problem with the GPL is that it's not quid pro quo. It's not "something for something." It's everything for something. A ten-line GPL module can infect an entire project. And it's not just proprietary software that gets infected--BSD, say (remember that BSD-licensed driver that was changed and re-released under the GPL, so the BSD guys couldn't get access to what they originally made)?
The GPL is not ethical. Totally within their rights to use, but it's unethical and I won't use it.
It's still the same old crapware kernel with the stolen (broken) BSD TCP/IP stack that Cutler threw together in 1991.
Wrong. The BSD TCP/IP stack was replaced in NT 5.0. (And it is not "stolen" to use the code under the terms with which it is provided.)
It's an inviolate lump of undocumented binary that breaks if you try to change anything!
Again wrong. Simply because you do not have the source code does not make it undocumented (and the Microsoft API documentation is arguably superior to anything you'll find in the Unix world, with the only real competition coming from Apple).
POSIX compliant? MS wouldn't know POSIX if it was anally inserted!
MS haven't had a viable product since the mid-90s, and the situation's just getting worse.
I'd love to be in the situation of having over 90% market share, making gazillions of dollars, and fielding a product that's both good enough for your average user and continually getting better. What a horrible place to be in.
All the real programmers left a long time ago! The current bunch of code-monkeys are totally clueless.
Speaking from personal experience, as I know a good number of people who work for Microsoft: bahahaahahahaha. Wipe off the cheeto crumbs, dude.
Windows - a poor proprietary client for a UNIX world
And if you UNIX maggots hadn't been such bleeding retards, we might have gotten a Plan 9 world and all been the better for it. As it is, you want a UNIX world you're never going to get, and I'm damn glad for it.
If you think NT is "creaky and old", you're a fucking moron. NT is arguably a far, far better system than any UNIX. Microsoft got out of the UNIX market a long, long time ago (you do know that, right?). NT is superior in most ways, and is POSIX-compliant. Any POSIX-compliant application can be built against these POSIX calls and will work fine.
The stuff built on top of NT may or may not be good--mind you, I think it is, as the "special value" of running it is that Ubuntu is not user-friendly (plus lacking in those "game" things, as well as a decent office suite which neither KOffice nor OpenOffice actually are, and WINE is not an acceptable compromise for running games and Office) BSD the same, and I'm not paying for a Mac--but NT is leaps and bounds better as a kernel than anything in the UNIX world.
Plastic/metal cards? Sure, it might take an assload of time to scan 'em back in, but still. CF/Flash degradation rates may be as low as you say (I don't know), but barring extreme accidents, a steel plate will last a good long time.
Also, JPEG and the rest are not terribly susceptible to a bit flip, unless it's in the header info and then maybe not even then. It's not a great format for it, though, due to multiple ways of encoding and the data loss therein. Go lossless with PNG, or store it uncompressed to guard against the (remote) possibility of forgetting how PNG works.
I've had some dipshit going through and modding a lot of my posts flamebait over the last couple days. It's actually kind of funny.
I've been thinking about trying to ditch apache on some mid-volume sites of mine and seeing how lighttpd handles it, see if there's any improvement. I don't use the majority of apache's functionality, so it could be a definite plus.
An AC hath no name, and as such might just be the same asshole posting his opinion ten times. At least when some asshole like me posts his opinion ten times, it isn't counted ten times.
You do realize that you can do massive improvements to PHP perf in the space of 5-10 minutes without a recompile right...? The idea that PHP is "slow" is FUDtastic. Of course it's slow if all you're doing is letting it interpret every time, but with APC or another caching mechanism it's interpret once, run-the-bytecode every other time. Massive speed improvements.
Slashdot Mirror
WHY DOES AN OS have to be written for fucking morons? Why cant the advanced features be displayed by DE-FUCKING-FAULT?!?!?!
Because those are the overwhelming majority of the people who use computers. This is not a hard concept.
Its fucking time they stop making crayola fucking operating systems because i cant stand it
Clearly, Slashdot users are Microsoft's target market. Really. No, really. It isn't the legions of people who buy the first Dell they see.
See, it's so clear. It's obvious that they should change what works so successfully just because Jackie_Chan_Fan on Slashdot doesn't like it.

Why wouldn't it? NT is POSIX-compliant (for the most part).
Or...they didn't have rights to use CleverAge's stuff in Office 2007.
You fail at thinking.
Tried it. Not the case.
You've got it backwards. They offer the other channels with ESPN. Why? Because ESPN is their moneymaker, and the ancillary channels aren't.
You do know that MTV/CNN/ESPN are generating the money that pays for many of the lesser-watched channels that you probably enjoy, right...?

Awesome.
I said the same thing for a while, until my new laptop came with Vista. It's actually pretty nice. The transparency isn't as jarring as it feels the first time you use it, and the glass effects are pretty muted.
Then don't use it, your choice.
I don't. I like freedom, not RMS's bullshit.

Not quite. As I understand it, Oracle is used pretty heavily in the back end. It propagates out to faster-but-looser MySQL systems for web display.
Not that I disagree with you about the tardery of most MySQL "admins". ;-)

Trey Parker and Matt Stone were ripping on Saddam as a joke long before we invaded Iraq.
Kantian categorical imperative is inherently emotivist and thus not worth consideration.

AFAIK, your team always appears as American soldiers and the opposition always appears as "other."
