techrights-sec3An important component of feeding is consistency.  Winter is overMay 09 14:56

techrights-sec3behavior (migration or other movement) due to the perceived availabilityMay 09 14:56
techrights-sec3of food.  So if you start at the begining of the winter you have toMay 09 14:56
techrights-sec3continue with the exact same food all winter or you might kill off May 09 14:56
techrights-sec3quite few.May 09 14:56
techrights-sec3There's not much reason to feed during the spring and summer though.May 09 14:57

techrights-sec3the worker using NT, but though he sung the praises of NT he could not hideMay 09 17:17
techrights-sec3the fact that he did *all* his work via PuTTY on the Solaris and Linux boxes. May 09 17:17
techrights-sec3Truth was that NT could do *far* less than GNU/Linux (i.e. Debian) at the timeMay 09 17:18
techrights-sec3including e-mail and web browsers, but most of all anything related to eitherMay 09 17:18
techrights-sec3software development or web development.  The rest of the almost two dozenMay 09 17:18
techrights-sec3were already settled in Debian from the start.  So the choice was a no-brainer.May 09 17:18
techrights-sec3Use of W95, W98, and NT at home made sure that I knew the real deal and thatMay 09 17:18
techrights-sec3Windows was an unviable system for any work-related activities. May 09 17:18
techrights-sec3An old acquaintance, a very famous programmer has been pushing m$ alternativeMay 09 17:18
techrights-sec3IDE for a while.  I don't think he is paid for that.  I don't think he sold out.May 09 17:18
techrights-sec3I suspect 'they' broke him and that he is hurting, but don't know him wellMay 09 17:18

techrights-sec3along with a solution or two.  May 09 17:18
techrights-sec3Have you noticed that e-mails eminating from M$ Exchange these days have noMay 09 17:18
techrights-sec3headers until they hit the Internet itself?  May 09 17:18
schestowitz-pi2need to think how to express response/debunking to hey hi "investment" or bailoutMay 09 17:24
techrights-sec3A key item to discover is where how they are pretending to have money andMay 09 17:30
techrights-sec3where they are pretending to get it from.  Maybe it is the OpenAI 'purchase'May 09 17:30
techrights-sec3again and again and again... May 09 17:30

techrights-sec3Not just that but loans /from/ the very parties they are pretending to buy out.May 09 17:39
techrights-sec3M$ used to give money to schools but the schools bough Macintoshes (backMay 09 17:39
techrights-sec3when those were a good thing to have) and promptly started 'donating' May 09 17:39
techrights-sec3Windows licenses instead.  The press release would read "Donated $n" in bigMay 09 17:39
techrights-sec3letters and then buried way down in the text would be the constraint   May 09 17:39
techrights-sec3"... equivalent in software licenses".   And since M$ could set the valueMay 09 17:39
techrights-sec3of said licenese, it was in effect printing money.  Now the contracts     May 09 17:39
techrights-sec3are considered trade secrets and, I strongly suspect, there are multipleMay 09 17:39
techrights-sec3gag clauses in the contracts regarding all kinds of costs including breaches. May 09 17:39
