I think they did a good job with my story. So I'm willing to cut them some slack.
why don't you try to submit something and see how they edit it?
In my case you can only polish a turd so much so.....
My favorite distro is Debian. I still use Ubuntu on my laptop though.
As long as the standard apt-get and dpkg tools work in Linspire I really
don't have a problem with it. But if you will look at this: http://media.linspire.com/cnr/images/CNR-system2.j pg
What I want is that CNR plugin that crosses from CNR directly to you desktop
to use dpkg to install it. That means I want.deb from the CNR. I'm not sure
but it since CNR is also shooting for Fedora and OpenSuse that this might not be the case......
That's what I want (at least it's not a pony). But does any one know what the
underlieing package management looks like with CNR?
t was also pointed out in the comments to the original article (way back in April) that IIS implements a lot more functionality out of the box. Some of those system calls may relate to setting up the environment for CGI or other things that aren't really needed when serving up a single static page.
Then why do those system calls need to be called for a static page?
If that is the case it would seem like one more area that could be exploited
if vulnerabilities existed in those calls.
Granted from the standpoint of security, USB booting and having access
to that person's hard drive is a little iffy. I would say some one
should come up with a way to mitigate this kind of security breach
while still allowing USB booting. I'm guessing, but that would probably
bring some kindof DRM problem.
I had to take only enough math for Diferential and Integral calculus. Very low level (Math 182, where as my Graphics and Networking classes were 400 level, 500+ is graduate) I also had to take Matrix theory. I feel kinda defficient in my Computer Science Degree on the math side and I actualy wish I would have double majored or at least got a minor in math (got a minor in japanese instead). Right now I'm working on some Robotics Controll theory and wish I had put more time into my math education.
So in my oppinion 3 'real' math classes wasn't enough at my school. Ofcourse I had descrete math (probability, statistics) within the computer science department but I don't feel that they contributed enough to my math understanding. Or maybe I should have studdied harder...who knows.
Welcome to reality. What the business masses need is not what anyone sane and competent is willing to develop gratis. And that's the root of the problem. That's proprietary development's superweapon. That's Free Software's kryptonite.
FOSS and GPL don't prevent any one from paying a programer to code something. You want it so badly, offer the right price and it will get done.
It wasn't philanthropy at all, it was greed, pure and simple. They started to privatize businesses and now more people have been lifted out of poverty in the past 20 years than probably ever before in recorded human history, and greed helped them, not charity.
I'm not to sure the OLPC falls squarly under philanthropy or charity. I mean sure they are doing a good thing, but they are still going to charge the countries for the technology. It's not like we are giving them food. Each country can choose or choose not to take the OLPC offer. India didn't take it. I really see your point as irrelevant because we arn't pushing any thing at a 3rd world country. This is a take it or leave it. AND they have to pay for it. Sure there may be no hard monetary profit in doing this, but I want you to take a look at the technology that's going into the OLPC. There is a lot of profit in aplying those technologies to a more developed market.
As I went through, they'd think, "Wow, is that something I could use, would that make a difference for me?"
If this is the "wow I want it" that he predicts, it seems as though he doesn't even have confidence in Vista.
The answer for me is "NO, that doesn't matter to me." Those are all gimicks that took more time to develop and
probably leeched time out of the development that really mattered.
On the other hand, what could happen is that Microsoft will push companies to develop drivers for SuSE's kernel, and only SuSE's kernel, because SuSE is the "blessed" Microsoft Linux.
Drivers are Drivers. If they make thier way into the Kernel then every one has them. You must mean the Kernel Patch?
But that's the rub isn't it? Suse/MS drivers would probably never be allowed in the Kernel for fear of MS IP voodoo
I don't know about the rest of you but I live in Montana and I walk....
I think it's more manly to carry everything on your back and walk anyhow...
Now using your bike....that's a real man's game (teh ice suxor in montana)
As a side note, I've heard rumors that since it's technically an upgrade license, it technically voids the CoA/license key for the XP install... so once these folks go Vista, they can't choose to go back to XP if they so desire.
The real question is if you can go back to XP if you buy Vista seperatly (eg not the upgrade license voucher thing)
We all know how it should work but....well is MS playing fair? (when do they ever?)
Nothing is safe from being editorialized.
The article generalizes that there is no 'smoking gun' for this event, and further research is required. (my italics for emphasis)
Isn't that better than generalizing that it had to be the volcanoes?

Isn't this really a patent to combat google or other search engines that get their money from adds?
Isn't Florida famous for stupid prosecutors any ways?

yea MSDOS was the bomb!

not to be a prick, but isn't blockig HD access from bios kinda like the trusted computing DRM?

Did any one else see the google adds for Second Life on the First Life web site?
Did that happen before or after the letter?
But that's the rub isn't it? Suse/MS drivers would probably never be allowed in the Kernel for fear of MS IP voodoo
Maybe you should look at the other side of that....maybe we were the smart Pygmy..s? Pymgmii....any way....yea that needs a plural form....
csi.....cbs......fox.......wha?

Sounds like a good trade on his end....
Or the uninformed public who trust thier own political party to much....just a matter of persepctives....
