Novell Makes More Open Source Moves
Roger Foss writes "Novell has announced it will release its cross platform iFolder file synchronization software as open source. This is pretty cool: far more transparent and easier to use than Unison or some of those friendly Rsync variants. iFolder does multi-master delta synchronization and is user friendly. The source software will be available at Novell's own Forge site and release under the GPL. This sure beats Novell's earlier open source efforts, when they released their proprietary IPX protocol stuff years ago. For those who want to try it, there's a live demo site that I doubt would withstand slashdotting."
Finally, mj01nir writes "According to Miguel de Icaza's web log, Chris Stone just announced that Novell will be moving the whole company to OpenOffice by the end of the year, and to Linux on the desktop a year after.

I don't really know what this comment is supposed to mean, but I saw "scientologists" in there. FYI- Scientology is a made up phony religon. It was started in the 1950's by a sci-fi author. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to "advance" through the levels of scientology, only to find out at the end that it is about extra-terestrial worship. what kind of wackos worship aliens??
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
Oh, MAN! AIRWOLF! That was so COOL!
:-)
Jan Michael Vincent! Physics-defying Helicopters! Adventure!
And YOU were the one who brought it up.
Ce n'est pas un vrai mouvement de robot!

i'm guessing what you've read was anti-mormon. it's amazing how much nonsense people talk about mormons. once you really understand what they believe it's not 'crazy' at all, but everyone thinks they're crazy because of the propaganda against them.
It's all really just a metaphysical Ponzi scheme.
I'm guessing you haven't read much... well, much of anything true... the mormon religion makes the most sense of any christian religion (that's even what my anti-christ european history teacher (Dr. Corbett, used to be a journalist... went everywhere... he knows everything about everything politics/religion/government) says). he says "if you insist on being christian, mormonism is your best bet".
You know, there's probably some truth to that, and my comment was quite flippant. But the fact remains that the whole religion is based on historical events that no non-Mormon historian has ever seen evidence of. This is not true for every other major religion where you can find diverse historical sources for things like events in the Bible, or people like Jesus or Mohammed.
The only question I have about the Mormon religion is that if it is so enlightened and make so much sense, why is it secret? Why has the Mormon church been compared to the Soviet bureaucracy? If this is based on the word of God, why does it need to be hidden?
I know exactly why.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
do you understand that those books present false facts and distorted truths? for some reason i doubt you've read the book of mormon... which would probably make the most sense if you want to know anything about mormons...
Exactly. Be that as it may, while the Mormons have (some) really good ideas regarding their morals and emphasis on family life, the religion bears only a superficial similarity to Christianity and is not considered as such by the true Christian denominations (who rarely agree on anything). It has all the same terminologies, but the words all mean different things, and ultimately is is based on ideas that were made up by people, much like Scientology.
Of course, we all deserve to be modded to negative umpteen for being egregiously Off-Topic.

As endorsed by the Space Pope!
Me? I'd rather stick to something mainstream like Oprahism or Voodoo.

Oh come on mods, it was meant to be taking the piss out of all the "XYZ is dying" comments lately! Given that I admin a sizeable number of Netware boxen it's hardly on its way out!
