The comparison is found in TFA where it's quoted from the original paper. So it's not the submitter who adds this (should have been obvious because quotes are used).
Also, all the alternatives you provided are correct but when presenting to the public, if an analogy is to be used, you chose to make comparison with something that people know and recognize off the bat.
Out of the available options, I think Apple is the best choice.
Sprint and T-Mobile? They don't even use the same technologies! That makes about as much sense as an AMD / ATi merger! Oh, wait...
On the bright side, at least the new Intel server motherboards stopped coming with those horribly crappy on-board ATi ES1000 video chips, replaced with some Matrox 200 descendant that's refreshingly less crappy. On the bright side for the telecom industry... hmm, I don't see any bright side for any of the telecom mergers.
Matrox is as crap as the old ones.
The driver from either or intel or matrox is having a lot of hardtime determining that there *is* a Matrox chip on the frikin MB.
Really what is wrong with bandwidth in the states?
I mean, I live in Romania and for 4 euros/month I get 8GB/moth worth of traffic at 7.2 Mbps. Beyond that limit i get 128kbps.
(Disclaimer: It's a corporate sim card but it doesn't get much worse for consumers.)
I live in Romania and I find it ridiculous to pay for incoming calls. None of the Romanian telcos are charging for incoming calls and if they tried I think they would have more than a angry mob to deal with.
Reading his comments I conclude he is a total fucktard.
I do no know much about what he has done for OSS in the past but that email was crap. Wtf makes him think he is so imporantant ?
these people to stop using pirated software ?
If they can't afford it there is no point in expecting money from them. Now, imagine this. 3-rd world kid uses Microsoft Office and C# and whatever, grows up and gets a job in a decent company. That company ( witch CAN afford the software) will buy that software because that's all their employees can use.
Happened in romania a few years back.
Well, I must say I'm impressed. The prime minister's people actually answered a petition singed by about 0.005 of UK's population. I would like to see this happening in Romania(where I live), or USA for that matter.
"I also like the way that all my existing hardware just works"
I had to update bios and download drivers for my SATA hard-drive just to install Vista Business. Sound card was crippled too. Intel chipsets.
"Nicolae Paulescu, a professor of physiology at the Romanian School of Medicine, published similar work in 1921 that had been carried out in France. Use of his techniques was patented in Romania, though no clinical use resulted. It has been argued ever since that he is the rightful discoverer." Wikipedia.
So, the rusians invented the nuke, right ? Just because this Romanian guy did not make the actual product does not mean he might not be regarded as the inventor. He described the method used by Banting (two years later !) and patented. Banting was to told how to do it. How can this be his ? If it was not patented in America doesn't mean shit. It was patented in Romania. Patent was obtained in 1921, Banting did it in 1923.
You are right. Script kiddies...
I mean, come on ! You crack 150+ computers and fail to hide your tracks. I live in Romania and i know there lots of ways to get online without revealing your location or identity.
I believe they look the best "gang" out there.
IBM has the hardware and RedHat... well has a bunch of widely distributed programmers.
Somehow I like it better when I don't hear smth like "Patents and Linux" , "Microsoft and Linux"...
Sure, IBM holds a lot of patents but it is not getting paid by Microsoft.
"Think of a number, say, 711. Now look for it - you'll find it everywhere, twice a day on your clock, on a receipt, going to the corner-sto..."
You forgot the quotes. This idea wa presented in a movie , PI
