While this man's plight is quite disturbing, I find it funny that Slashdot regularily buddies up to the U.S. Government when they are attacking a company they don't like (read: Microsoft) but then they don't like it when the government attacks one of their own.
This is exactly the kind of thing that happens when a government is not kept in check. As a government grows so does their power.

Women who have EAT ATTACKS and can't stay away from the butter don't have a fucking medical condition. Miguel has probably featured you in your party hat you fatty.
I may get flamed for this but I always hire sysadmins and DBAs I can order around. Nothing sucks more than a sysadmin who thinks they own the place and gets in the way of work getting done with their fucking firewalls.
I live by the Messe Stuttgart (about a 1 minute walk) and I have a big house with a guest bedroom and bathroom.
I am not attending Linux Tag because I have to work but if you have no place to stay I can house two in the guest bedroom. Send me an e-mail jrule@yahoo.com and I will reply with my handy number. First-come-first-serve.
John Ashcroft said nothing of the like. He expressed concern over children and porn (as any good politician would) but he never said anything about jailing porn site owners.
The stupid mods here let people post any old lie as long as it fits with their open-source-dirty-haired-suspender-wearing-liberal -agenda.
It's liberals who want to make us speak in politically correct terms. Conservatives are for individual freedom AND responsibility. But you go ahead and think it's conservatives who don't let you say fuck if that makes you feel better.
I live in Grand County. Mose Lake to be exact. Moses Lake is the biggest city in the county and it's not exactly a big city!
Anyways, I think they have this service rolled out to 1 home and 2 businesses. The upstream and downstream have been capped at miserably low rates.
I don't have a lot of hope for the future unless things turn wireless. Most of the houses in Grant County are seperated by farm land and there's just no economical way to run fibre out to everyone.
Why the fuck is this insightful? It's actually the most uniformed, retarded post here..NET emits pure HTML to the client browser. If the client browser supports ECMA-Script then then it gets richer client-side controls otherwise it's just more roundtrips to the server.
There's no such thing as a damn.NET Compliant Browser.
I disagree. I don't think what they are doing is cool at all. Because what they are doing is defining an infrastructure, and making sure that they control it. This is bad, and should be boo'd.
Microsoft is in the business of building infrastructure. That's their business... They should be booed?
The web took off because no one owned the protocol, any one could create an HTTP server, anyone could write the services behind the server and anyone could write a browser, and any user could jump on a browser and start using it.
That's certainly an interesting view of the history of the web. Maybe it took off because infrastructure companies like Microsoft, Sun, and Netscape did their jobs well.
He's more interested in his fucking pro-linux agenda than he is finding the best solution for his organization.
george: did you weigh the pros and cons of each solution on a cost and technical level? Maybe Office XP and Windows are the best productivity system available today *gasp*.
You are so blinded by your love for linux that you forget who pays your bills. Maybe you should look out for the interests of the University you work for.
You wouldn't last one day in my org. Anyone who puts a personal agenda ahead of what is good for the org needs to find somewhere else to work.
$2,999-----------------2,027
733MHz-----------------1.7GHz
PowerPC G4-------------Dell Dimmension 8100
256K L2 & 1MB L3-------256K L2 Cache
256MB SDRAM memory-----256 SDRAM Memory
60GB Ultra ATA---------60GB Ultra ATA
CD-RW drive------------CD-RW Drive
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX-----NVIDIA GeForce2 MX
Gigabit Ethernet-------10/100 Ethernet
56K internal modem-----56K modem
The Dimension 8100 comes with RAMBUS memory which is quite fast -- not regular SDRAM. You also get quite a nic monitor. Mac is about $1000 behind on this comparison.
Dell 1.7 Ghz from Dell with DVD-CD/RW and 19".24 dp trinitron monitor, 256 more RAMBUS memory, Geforce 3 from Gateway.
The full computer was $2050 shipped and after taxes. Apples doesn't have anything that beats in in cost or performance.
Not to take anything away from them on their new flat pannel decision. I think it's great.
TPC-C is the reference benchmark. Linux has no entry there.
http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_perf_results. asp
Also, this is a measure of the Database software speed. DB2 and SQL2000 are quite fast and on any 32-bit x86 OS they would beat the pants off of mySQL or some of those other freebies.
Look at the TPC-C benchmark to see the real battle between Microsoft and Sun.
I was disappointed to learn of your treatment of the young dissadent Sean Sheeley.
Simply putting him in an alternative another school will not show the rest of the commune the cost of speaking out. Young Sheeley should be subject to a public caning. His family should be shamed and forced to work in the rice fields over summer break. I think even capital punishment should be talked about.
I hope the Western media does not learn of this incident and report slander against The Socialist People of McKenney. We must keep our commune for the people.
Both slashdot and freerepublic have championed free speech in the past. But, with any big forum, there are disruptive people.
Appropriate to their idiologies, slashdot solved the problem with clever technology (moderators, points, etc.) and Free Republic solved the problem with hoards of angry conservatives:-) Suing over the matter is actually quite out of character for freepers because they don't like trial lawyers and dislike lawsuits.
Anyways, I can't believe that joker pleaded the 5th in a civil suit. WTF is up with that?
http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_perf_results. asp offers some answers. Of course few folks who read slashdot actually care about which database might actually be best. Instead they blindly claim JimmyBob's Free DB with Source is best followed closely by the Mr. Larry Ellison's Oracle. Fine. Sign a deal with the devil.
While all you blowhards are trumpeting Oracle, you might consider the cost and performance leaders. See http://www.tpc.org for a constantly updated list.
SQL Server is all written by Microsoft. Pre-version 6.5 there was some Sybase code it was based on but what relevance is that?
SQL 7 and SQL 2000 are their own breed. See http://www.tpc.org for 3rd party benchmarks.

Just because some Linux biggot got an app in the NYSE to run on Linux doesn't mean much.

I guess so.
By your logic I'm now a flaming homo. The over exposure to goats.cx must have that effect on me.
