schestowitzI would point out that individual NFL franchises pay taxes on their income--the NFL is essentially a trade association of the clubs--not to mention the income taxes collected on player and executive salaries. And the real crime here is the billions in subsidies the NFL receives for its capital (stadia) and labor (player development in the colleges)."77"Feb 03 18:39

schestowitz"OS adoption is rarely about how good the desktop is. It's usually far more about the ecosystem of applications available. Linux can easy configure a better experience than Windows, but people don't care if they can't run all of the applications they're used to and that their friends run. With a bit of effort they can be convinced to run something equally good, but those equally good options (and variety) need to exist. That's why Feb 04 04:12

schestowitzThe DB itself, with empty cache is about 40 MB. The max size of the DB is 100 MB, which means the cache made up more than 60 MB!Feb 04 06:43

schestowitzI would point out that individual NFL franchises pay taxes on their income--the NFL is essentially a trade association of the clubs--not to mention the income taxes collected on player and executive salaries. And the real crime here is the billions in subsidies the NFL receives for its capital (stadia) and labor (player development in the colleges)."77"Feb 03 18:38

schestowitz"OS adoption is rarely about how good the desktop is. It's usually far more about the ecosystem of applications available. Linux can easy configure a better experience than Windows, but people don't care if they can't run all of the applications they're used to and that their friends run. With a bit of effort they can be convinced to run something equally good, but those equally good options (and variety) need to exist. That's why Feb 04 04:12
