Traditionally WWII movies use English actors to play Nazis too - for most of the 20th century anyway, less so more recently.
The stronger, more aristocratic and English the accent, the more evil the Nazi.
Except that MS can't sell the licenses for all their other products if the OS is RHEL.
So, they lose the OS license, but also the licenses for SQL, and CRM, and Exchange, and SharePoint, and Terminal Services, and all the other stuff that might be running on there.
As a consumer, I rather like being empowered.
Neither the MPAA, nor the RIAA have every tried to empowered their consumers.
I want to be empowered and force content creators to create good content, not be offered and forced to take the best of a poor to mediocre offering.
What I find most telling about the article is that they tested the connection using a single consumer grade article.
I'm techy enough to be on
5 iPhones (view 2 wireless APs)
4 laptops
1 desktop
2 XBoxes with live
Wii
Roku box
AppleTV
All those devices stream media from the internet, play games on the internet, etc. That one single laptop can't handle the connection is fine, but as a household between myself, my wife, and kids, we do cumulatively use a lot of media. Have kept our unlimited data plans for the iPhone, my son has peaked at 8Gb in one month of data usage over 3G. That's on a single phone.
Between video chat, games, working remotely and streaming a desktop session, netflix, hulu, amazon video, etc there is a huge amount of bandwidth required at home. I find that Verizon FiOS does a great job. I can't stand the company, but the product is top notch.
Yes, I'd love more bandwidth at home, just treating a home network connection as a single device is rediculous. I want everything in the house to be networked, and controllable.
I would advise you to take a harder look; whole universities, companies and public sectors of entire states have been using Linux for years now.
Yes, and we have a 5 figure number of linux servers, but who wants to enter those details into this site? Who would allow us? And, their sendmail script, running on all those machines? Not a chance.
None of the major users of linux will want to waste their time with this. This is really for retentive power users who want to show off their linux usage. I know, I've been getting the annual email for years, it still lists my first machine from 10 years ago on there. Well, it did until I finally updated the list properly this year.
But, really, this is about people showing off their personal machines, nothing more. I don't see how the stats can possibly be accurate.
that's why it only appears when typing in boxes for which it is applicable - URLs and email addresses.
The rest of the time it isn't there.
Yes, and I had it running on OSX about 5 years ago too as part of Salling Clicker.
It's just remote control software, but one of the functions was to detect the presence of the phone.
Alernatively you can turn up the volume as you walk away too, or pause music, video, etc.
F-16s, stupid...
Clearly a huge difference, and if you can't tell the difference (and the *huge* significance of getting it wrong) I think you should leave Slashdot immediately.
Oh, before the flames start to really burn... yes, joking.. blah, blah, blah
Is it possible that people are complaining about the wrong thing here? Sure, the discussion about whether to run or not is interesting, but how about whether people should have been informed or not?
Given that there were memos sent to numerous organisations, and yet the information was not disseminated at the will of Obama, isn't there a more pressing question here?
Like, why would the president want to scare the crap out of southern manhattan? It's not a huge stretch to assume that flying a 747 low over Manhattan would scare people...
Wow, as if my excellent karma didn't give me enough reason to be proud.
So, more points to work hard and get? I can't wait to devote myself to Slashdot even more slavishly.
Well, at least for posting here I get something.
Where is the "All the above" option.
You have to have a double-tab of the home key set to take you to Phone Favourites...
I have it set to Home, and it doesn't work.
