You mean, if you get a device you can do a calibration on how the device interacts with the 'known' system? That sounds great! They do it with partitions, insisting devices/the system is going to be the same every time you boot should be a doodle. One file to rule them all! (Sources not included)
The only person I've seen doing that was a queryer berating the helpers because what the said to do didn't work for the queryer. At worst the posters post a link to a howto without actually reading the question... often works though.
What you say sounds reasonable. The problem is, these problems, err, positions seem to have forgotten what it is like 'at the bottom'. It is a perspective issue. The blokes at the top all wonder what kind of idiots they have working for them "... not your level; you're doing a fantastic job! Those idiot C10s over in..." The people at the bottom see C?O treating the products and issues that to the bottomers is a lot of dosh, they see the C?O (or anyone above their level+ ~3) as not having any sense. "I am the C10 over in... nincompoop. There is only one of us!"
I'm totally bewildered at how all these companies whose product it pirated more than it is bought are able to stay in business so long. Really, both the music and the games industry should be back to relying on hobbiest *at best* if their argument had any aspect of truth to it. And the mining industry should have left Australia because of the excessively high wages it has to pay here...
Come on, relatively early in the piece they were the major player in the desktop PC market. Wikipedia has Compaq producing a "100% IBM compatible in November 82... by 85 virtually all PC were "IBM compatible"; a fair suggestion that it was an enviable position to be in. Every PC proto-historian I've ever heard virtually said IBM PC became the top dog computer not because they were the best (they may have been, I was quite young then) but because of their reputation as a safe buy. Microsoft is a major player in the Desktop OS market, originally largely because of their association with the IBM; they did have the great tactic of being cheaper than their competitors thus being more likely to be put on the mass of boxes. To be arguing that either have never been a monopoly is playing semantics.
And plenty of companies sell competing products; those that sell a product that is effectively the dominant player in that market are monopolising the market. Sometimes that means they become the only product being sold, the rest of the time they sell more than the other guy.
They were the only ones selling it? Hence the mono...; You do seem to be playing semantics, so I will clarify what seems to be 'confusing' you. Most people use a generalised version of monopoly, when they are actually talking about a majority. This is used, largely because often the top dog tries hard to *become* the only game in town by underhanded elimination of the competition. It is monopolies for significantly large values of monopoly... as well you know, it is a rounding up thing... the tolerance in high, because you ignore the decimal places.
So, you're basically arguing that pretty much every company in the world is a monopoly ?
No, only the companies profiting from products virtually no one else produces or sells. The companies that have a significant majority of the market. It is usually only a problem when a company uses its market share to prevent/limit other players in the market. When there are two or more products competing for close to equal parts of the market, they are not monopolies. Having a logic block today?
How can you have a monopoly over a market you create ?
Easily, I would have thought, perhaps even self-evident. I'm trying to work out how it isn't self-evident. And the 'far superior' was an exaggeration, but there were definitely products that were slightly superior that didn't get a look in. Concede the final point.
Oh I agree with you completely! People who say that compiz et al are just new shiny simply lack imagination. I find them to be useful to some degree... (And they are new shiny.) Just the feature that was suggested was more viewport switching, which has been in every X session I've ever used in ~10-15 years of trying linux (hmmm, not so sure about twm... Never actually *used* it). Admittedly I've only used probably a quarter or so of the available WMs.
unfortunately, that is a abuse of moderation, which, after all, is supposed to be a moderation of the reasoning of the post..., While I am mildly offended at Twitter et al assumption that we are all entirely idiots and don't understand what is being done one article to the next, occasionally stupidity and dishonour bite themselves and actually end up benefiting despite being innately detrimental. Occasionally Twitter et al says some sensible things. Oh that the misplaced enthusiasm/reverse psychology* would end. My only question is are they actually one person, or a group that find it amusing to act as though they are one?

You, sir, have it right. Put it on a wireless caterpillar track base, and multiple telescopic arms. There doesn't seem to be too many reasons to attach them to the body.
Slashdot Mirror
for me yes, but I only use it for basic storage/compatibility.
so when you download your deb/rpm rename it too "setup_NewProgram" and double click it? Personally I'm happy with the name+version format.

Development cycles are too extended to be used in any annual statistics. Perhaps you can petition to have them included in centennial statistics?
I am confused by your statement.
Really? That is terrible!
It sounds like a job for plan 9

They tend to be somewhat better educated than the rest of the public if only because they get bored and begin looking for stimulation.

Emacs is a text editor? No wonder it wont boot my usb drive!
at least 100 years...
In all fairness, you could do this with the previous pager switching... It is just prittier under Compiz /Metisse.
(yeah, I prefer Metisse)
Heh, the authors have been reading the golden age... gp, how are your filters working?

three times. it is slow, exasperating and possible to do it wrong. Not so with any linux install Ive had in the past 5 years.
