| 01:53.40 | learner | "Go Army" |
| 01:54.53 | JBdiGriz | and badger has to use a mac :) |
| 01:55.24 | learner | I'm surprised MS would have tried such a bold (and illegal) move.. |
| 01:55.31 | pyrobunny | what did they do? |
| 01:55.33 | learner | or am I really surprised... |
| 01:55.34 | learner | :) |
| 01:55.37 | pyrobunny | ? |
| 01:55.51 | learner | top slashdot headline |
| 01:56.14 | pyrobunny | ok |
| 01:56.17 | pyrobunny | lemme look |
| 01:56.50 | learner | No u.s. gov employee or entity is allowed to accept a gift of value (>$20) |
| 01:59.11 | jacques | that presupposes MS software is worth > $20 |
| 01:59.29 | pyrobunny | HAHAHAHA |
| 01:59.47 | pyrobunny | that is funny |
| 02:00.02 | pyrobunny | maybe the fedarales migh switch to linux :-() |
| 02:00.05 | pyrobunny | *:-) |
| 02:03.26 | learner | they already use linux in a lot of locations |
| 02:03.56 | learner | just not on most of the "common worker" desktops yet |
| 02:04.18 | learner | more server-side, research, and development |
| 02:04.27 | bryjen | "giving away" software so they can come back and _sell_ you an upgrade next year. |
| 02:04.37 | bryjen | the first hit is always free. |
| 02:04.45 | learner | yep |
| 02:05.24 | pyrobunny | heh |
| 02:05.31 | pyrobunny | just like with crack dealers |
| 02:05.35 | pyrobunny | first hit is free |
| 02:05.42 | pyrobunny | but then yur hoocked |
| 02:05.46 | learner | curiously we haven't seen free cd's in our neck of the woods yet -- hopefully after that we won't have to |
| 02:05.51 | pyrobunny | and it is full price |
| 02:05.55 | learner | it's hard enough to fight off the ms pushers |
| 02:05.59 | pyrobunny | heh |
| 02:06.19 | JBdiGriz | You aren't responsible for major purchases. |
| 02:06.47 | learner | define major :) |
| 02:06.58 | JBdiGriz | If they can get the people responsible for the big purchases using the latest office (whose formats aren't compatible with previous versions), they can gain a lot more leverage. |
| 02:07.03 | bryjen | heh. it'd be full price + 50%, as they'd want to sell you an upgrade contract too. |
| 02:07.12 | learner | it's not even usually a matter of purchasing -- it's a matter of mandates |
| 02:07.25 | learner | they tried the "everyone must run windows" just last year |
| 02:07.27 | JBdiGriz | Have you bought licenses for 1000 seats lately? |
| 02:07.30 | learner | it didn't work out well at all |
| 02:08.00 | JBdiGriz | I haven't checked if that policy is being maintained at JPL. |
| 02:08.07 | learner | though we were part of the half a billion that was dished out to MS :( |
| 02:08.44 | learner | so even if we don't use it -- we paid for it |
| 02:09.20 | bryjen | your the best kind of customer then. no support calls from you. ;) |
| 02:09.49 | bryjen | oo, but then they can't bill you per hour for support. n/m |
| 02:10.41 | learner | yeah.. dell got those dollars |
| 02:11.37 | pyrobunny | god slackware is pissin me off |
