Long gone are the days when developing or using a system was such a simply thing like pressing the power button and enjoying the ride. Unfortunatly people these days are more involved in the political side of the things than in the same process of joy. So for many peoples these days their holy words are "no politics, no joy".
MS and Novel have a pact? So what? This will tbe the end of MS? No freaking way! The end of Linux? of course not! So is this whole FUD wave a way to satisfy the politian than most people (men) have inside?
Just one problem: It's not true, at least for many online retailers. Contrary to what the recent blitz of media coverage implies, Cyber Monday isn't nearly the biggest online shopping or spending day of the year. It ranks only as the 12th-biggest day historically, according to market researcher comScore Networks. It's not even the first big day of the season.
The glory of the Internet is its openness to innovation. As long as you conform to some basic technical requirements, you can send any sort of data and create any service you want. E-mail, streaming video, online commerce, and the World Wide Web itself were all started by groups, companies, or individuals who did not need permission from regulators or network owners. E-mail, streaming video, online commerce, and the World Wide Web itself were all started by groups, companies, or individuals who did not need permission from regulators or network owners. The action took place on the very same lines that carry telephone and cable-TV traffic. But unlike those services, Internet activities were never subject to stifling regulations, which is why innovation was able to flourish.
That's not new or revolutionary in any way. You can encode and store data anywhere. In my university we are making experiments storing data in microcrystals. This works at atomic level the same way a hologramma works more or less. In one microcrystal of 1x1 mm you can store more than 500 GB data at this moment. The only problem is: the technology is so damn expansive than you can but 500 computers with the same money:-)
The same could be applied to this paper format, I guess the scaner that reads-decodes this data cannot be bough in the next-door store.
Let's face it, I'm getting old. Clicking at the speed of light is not my best side anymore. My elbow hurts, my fingers are slow and it's kind of...boring. So I don't enjoy real time combating but I do enjoy turn based strategy games. The last game I really enjoyed was Heroes of Might and magic V. Great sequel to my favorite series ever.
I would say that back then there were young kids dreaming about being bankeers as well. There were kids dreaming about being bus drivers, pirats, cosmonauts, scient men, and everything. Nothing has changed now in this case. The only thing that changed is that now kid have the *remote* oportunity of becoming a bankeer, when then they had more posibilities to become a party member or something. So, yes something has changed. Not the dreams, though.
Current investigation, however (both embryonic and adult stem cells), is still in the preliminary stage and several more years remain before they can potentially be used in the clinical setting. Procedures that reduce in vitro manipulation of cells and allow stem cells to develop into islets in vivo are crucial. Furthermore, the regeneration of existing islets is a distinct possibility. Simplistically, it might be hypothesized that down-regulation of autoimmunity may give the pancreas the breathing space to regenerate islets.
Not only MS has access to Windows code. A lot of companies (mine for example) has access to MOST of the Windows kernel and UI under a NDA. And I think that a lot of revisors have also taken a look to the code of very large parts of the code after many of the trials that MS has been envolved in). Not being Open Source is not the same than Closed Source.
This rises some other problem I think. If there is people filling in captchas manually, the only think that could help to stop the madness is to ban the IPs or subnets where the person is working from. This is what I do in my server anyway. From time to time sombody just fills my captcha and spam my guest book. Not a big deal. i just ban the IP and sometimes he's whole subnet. But i see a problem if there are a million persons doing that. A million IP's or subnets banned is now kind of hard work to enter in my ban list:-)
Man, I get so sick when i read about the cure against the cancer. People don't understand that blood cancer, for example is not the same than lever cancer even if both are cancers? The cause are different, the evolution is different, the metastasis is different and the way it propagates is unrelated. There is not a cure for Cancer. There may be a cure for some kind of cancer in specific, but never in general.
It's like saying that founding a cure againdt typhus will help you against salmonella infection just because both are provoced by bacteries.
By definition, a LANGUAGE is a set of signs (or words in this cases= which is used to COMMUNICATE an idea. Communicate is the real dea here. There is no language if there is not communication. Even the encrypted texts are used to be decrypted by someone else or by the creator, in which case the creator of the "file" is just communicating with himself. In this last case, you don't want to make your language public. In normal cases if you want to communicate, you want other people to use the language, in which case, you can't sue because this was the purpose of your invention.
I kind of dislike the Open Source fanosophy... Sorry, philosophy, but that article was a waste of bandwidth. Of course, in free/Open Source everyone does as they want. Yes, it's a Bazaar, but that's the way it's suposed to be. I do whatever i want in my freetime, but I must do whatever I'm told at work. And that is not going to change.And that has been so since the creation or the evolution from monkeys. And the world has not ended because of that.
Mod me up! This is completly OT, but hey, I say:
M$ is teh suck
all comrporations except Apple are teh suck
linux rules even in my aquarium!
Mod me up please! I'm cool too, you see?
Why do we want people to use linuz? Please, let people use whatever the freak they want, be it Windows, OSX, AmigaOS or SpectrumBasic os...
Geee, is that a question of life and death?
We have migrated 96 PCs in 4 datalabs from Redhat to Windows XP. XP is ***very*** cheap for educational institutions. But I supose you won't like my story because this doesn't match your narrows expectations. Oh, well... It's the real life, though.
I've experimented the orgasm of my life! Nothing can be wrong with Linuz, can it be? I'm looking to it through my pink coloured crystal and OHHH Ymbictu is WINDERFILL!!!!
Ohhh how I love the perfection of this OS.. Ohhh nothing can be better... Oh my GODDDDDDD can this be true? What a PERFECT thing.... Ohhhh slash dot thank YOUUUUUUU for this news.. This is stuff that matters, yeahhh,, it includes the PERFECT browser with the PERFECT memory consumption tooo...
Ohhh my genitals... OHHHH

This reminds me the cool war. MS is coming! They will eat your children! Stop the freaking FUD. Live and let live...
Prety soon you will see a Wiki film. With vandalism and everything.

Fair enough. You want to compete? Then work your ass off...

Just replace the word Windows any other OS name in your article.
So Linux has not been fragmented until MS came it to play... Wow, incredible...!
... for its four users.
