Well, if the statistic is still 1 in 5 after all this time, then obviously whatever measures have been put in place so far isn't working and should be scrapped. So, don't think of the children, it doesn't help.
Hmm, bear in mind that it was British ASDIC that found the U-boats underwater and British Radar that found the U-boat periscopes and snorkels when they were recharging which allowed Britain to win the sea war. It was British Spitfires that won the air war and it was the British Colossus computers that won the intelligence war against Germany. Britain also supplied computers to the US to crack the Japanese cyphers.
So, US Spam, bombs and equipment did help a lot to finish the war earlier, but the UK would have won anyway with only the help of South Africa, India, New Zealand, Canada and Australia. It was a war of attrition and the production capacity of Germany was no match for the combined production capability of the UK, her colonies and Russia. I think that Russia alone could have defeated Germany, it would just have taken longer and cost more Russian lives.
The greatest achievement of the US was in liberating China and other Asian countries from Japan. In Europe, the US effort sure helped, but it wasn't the be-all and end-all.
The 1.2B figure includes the whole logistical tail of the aircraft for its 40 year expected life time. One would assume that all of that remains intact, unless it exploded inside its own hangar and took everything with it. Therefore I don't expect the replacement aircraft to cost more than about 50 million dollars.
How many? About 100% of home Windows users and 99% of business Windows users. Most people have no idea that Windows can be locked down and not the foggiest notion of how to do it, sine they have never heard of MS Technet and Common Criteria Certification.
Why? Microsoft has no economic incentive to fix their crapware and being strictly a commercial enterprise, they have no pride and cannot be shamed into fixing their crapware either.
Yeah, GIFI stands for General Index Of Financial Information!
Created by the Canada Revenue Agency in 1999, the GIFI is a system which assigns a unique code to a list of items commonly found on income statements, balance sheets, and statements of retained earnings.
The purpose of the GIFI is to allow the CRA to collect and process financial information more efficiently; for instance, the GIFI lets the CRA validate tax information electronically rather than manually.
Unpleasant...
It sounds like a GUI front-end for Sox, Image Magic and ffmpeg. As such, it should be immensely useful, since running those utilities from a command line is quite a challenge.
No, since inserting crap in a SSL session will break the session. So if you wish to keep your web site unaltered, simply redirect all traffic from port 80 to port 443.
Yah? We are paid lots to build Linux systems. Our customers? Mostly the Canadian Government.
The reality is that Linux is spreading like dandelions. It is everywhere dude and the customers are paying big bucks to get it. Wake up and smell the money.
I agree. People pay me >$100k a year to install Linux systems. It is spreading like dandelions. Even Asus plans to outsell Apple this year and they don't even advertise their little Linux machines, yet they are tough to find since they keep selling out.
I sometimes wonder whether MS is paying blokes like that author to write contrarian stories.
Linux is in fact the most popular OS out there. There are far more Linux machines in the world than Windows. Each year about 300 million Linux devices are produced, while the total number of Windows devices are only about 600 million. If we assume a 5 year life span for a Linux device, then there must be at least 1.5 billion Linux devices in the world. Granted, these things are mostly routers cell phones and telephone exchanges, but the fact that ordinary yokels cannot see the mountain of Linux devices in the field, doesn't mean that they aren't there.
Desktop wise, the little Asus Eee PC alone will outsell Apple in 2008. Apple produces about 3 million Macs in a year, while Asus plans to sell 5 million of there little toys.
So don't tell me Linux ain't popular, while it is in fact the biggest OS success story ever.

MS should buy Xenix back from SCO.
The Tickless Kernel will take care of that problem.
Sure, but not in Kansas.

No, it is the cocaine induced renaissance, after the pot induced dark ages.
The Elements according to Aristotle: Air, Earth, Water and Fire.
So, I take it that Fire will melt too. Hmmm, interesting concept.
It should be trivial to reward a troop of Monkeys - erm - young men - to decipher Google CAPTCHAS in return for really good quality porn pictures.

I phink they'll be serving mostly phorn phormulations, phenis enlargement phils and so phorth.
Exactly - what are these advertisements people keep moaning about?
Try looking at their feet, not their tits - maybe then you won't creep them out so much.
Cool, this can only make Adblocking easier since all ads will appear to come from the same place.
If not, then someone should post one to the British legislation, else those Auzies will never figure out how to copy it.

I don't believe that anyone would want to copy their music. Not knowingly anyway.

"What operating system are you running?" I ask.

That is a more common answer I get, which kinda explains it all...
Will this myth ever die? I've been using Quickbooks on Wine on Linux since 2002. Last time I checked, this was 2008. It is time to wake up d00d...
