5/29    sigh... AOL/TimeWarner surrendered the browser war...
        \_ You just noticed?  That happened years ago, genius.
           \_ I think he's referring to the $750M settlement with MS today
              http://money.cnn.com/2003/05/29/technology/microsoft
           \_ yup, that is what I am refering to.  While the outcome of
              the war is clear years ago, AOL didn't wave the white flag
              until now.  Notice the word "surrender" I refered earlier..
                                - OP,   not as genius as you think
              \_ They waved the flag years ago.  Netscape was never serious
                 competition after the sale.  AOL could have put real resources
                 into it, used it for their own services, etc, and never did.
                 This $750m thing doesn't make it official.  It was already
                 official in 97/98.
        \_ Only if your definition of "winning a war" is synonymous to
           "winning a war through DoJ punitive actions"

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

La Monica, CNN/Money Senior Writer NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Microsoft will pay $750 million to AOL Time Warner to settle an antitrust lawsuit filed by AOL on behalf of its subsidiary Netscape last year, the companies said Thursday. The two companies also set a seven-year licensing agreement that allows AOL Time Warner to use Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsing technology in its flagship Internet service provider service without having to pay royalties. Microsoft and AOL said, for example, that they will work together to make their AOL and MSN instant messaging services work more smoothly together, and that they agreed to fight digital piracy and come up with ways for Internet users to legally download copyrighted content. The world's largest media company and Microsoft, the biggest software maker, have squared off on several fronts in recent years. Microsoft dipped slightly in after-hours trading Thursday following the announcement, but AOL Time Warner's stock rose 3 percent in after-hours trading, according to Instinet. For Microsoft, the $750 million payment hardly dents its cash hoard of more than $46 billion. However, Friedman Billings Ramsey software analyst David Hilal said that Microsoft will probably need to take a 5-cent-a-share charge to its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings as a result of the settlement. Analysts currently expect Microsoft to earn 24 cents a share for the quarter, not including charges. One other consequence of the settlement is that it may lead to a further phasing out of Netscape now that AOL has agreed to cooperate more closely with Microsoft. In response to a question during the conference call about Netscape's fate, Parsons said that AOL Time Warner had no plans to shut down or get rid of the unit. AOL and Microsoft were not the only two companies impacted by their announcement. Their newfound cooperation in digital media had some investors in 45 RealNetworks ( 46 RNWK: 47 Research, 48 Estimates), whose RealPlayer competes with Windows Media Player, concerned since AOL has a partnership with RealNetworks. But Parsons was quick to point out that AOL's agreements with Microsoft are not exclusive kinds of arrangements and that AOL will continue to do business with RealNetworks. Analysts quoted in this story do not own shares of AOL Time Warner or Microsoft, and their firms do not have investment banking relationships with either company.
