At the moment in my place of employment, we want to run Debian on some custom hardware (but alas, Debian won't work on it - despite many hack attempts), because we just find RPMs too hard to manage and apt-get + aptitude to ge great.
Then use apt-get to manage them. You're comparing apples and oranges here; apt-get isn't a packaging system. dpkg has the exact same problems, which is why apt exists. It also exists for RPM.
If the domain reserved for a country shouldn't be run by the government of that country, who the hell should run it?
The government makes decisions like this. If you like the decisions, you vote for the same people next time. If you don't, you vote for somebody else. If most of the people who vote disagree with you, you cowboy up and live with it, or move.
Use a different domain if you want to be anonymous.
I bet if government ran the phone companies and telecom, we could get service for pennies on the dollar.
Because when it broke and you called them for help, the senior support people would be making $10 an hour, and wouldn't have to work on weekends, after hours, or on holidays, including holidays you never heard of.
Curiously, the only debts that aren't presently dischargeable in bankruptcy are fines imposed for crimes, child support awards and...guess what...student loans. You can thank the GOP for the latter in 1995.
Which Republican President signed that law in 1995 again? I seem to have forgotten.
The most impressive thing about this web site is that its created by people in the U.S. government, the Bush White House hasn't shut it down and they haven't fired the people who created it, so shhhhh don't tell them about it because they must know its there because they really hate anyone who says stuff like this.
A lesser man would have interpreted that as evidence that the "conventional wisdom" that the Bush administration covers this stuff up might be in error. I salute your unshakeable faith.
Sun hoards the Evolution plugin for SunOne Calendar connectivity, despite the fact that this practically forces some shops to abandon their calendar product, and the fact that they don't make a dime off it so they don't lose a dime off it either.
Pardon me for being insistent, but "openoffice.org" is a Web address, not a name. If the company that makes it doesn't want their customers to call it "Open Office," they should change the name. (They should probably change the name in any case. "Open Office" doesn't exactly stir the soul.)
But they *DO* want people to call it "Open Office". The name change was thrust upon them.
And just to trip up the rampant anti-outsourcing phobia (which is fundamentally racist and anti-democratic, IMHO), it should be pointed out that you should do the EXACT same thing whether you're hiring a single contractor or a whole firm, and whether that's some shop with a name you can't pronounce in Bangalore or Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting).
You know, I used to wonder how those guys who send out spam emails trying to get people to participate in their Ponzi schemes manage to make any money.
After reading all of the posts from people defending Social Security as it exists today, I suddenly understand.
Yes, I understand the minor differences between the Social Security system and a true Ponzi scheme, but the fact remains that the only way it can possibly remain solvent forever is if we make sure people stop living longer, and make sure the economy never ever has any kind of inflation whatsoever.
Sorry, not willing to give up modern medicine and artificially retard economic growth so that you can better redistribute my hard-earned money to people who refused to plan ahead, just so that they'll keep voting for you because they're dependant on you. Go peddle crazy to the Europeans.
Or you could read any of the speeches from Democrats during the Clinton Administration about how it was insolvent and "in crisis" and needed serious reform.
You left out "one of the cool things Linux can't do that AT&T SVR4 can is that Sun might be able to do some compiler stuff some day that nobody cares about".
You know, because AT&T SVR4 is Solaris from a few years in the future.
Most likely, they'd love it. Usually the so-called "journalists" who are involved in the "peaceful" protests (I.E. influencing the news, not covering it) cherry-pick their footage to cover the cops beating somebody down, and leave out the "victim" assaulting the cops. With this, every picture would be fair game, for both sides. We'd see the truth, whatever it was.
Although, a lot of white-collar workers from the other opcos pitch in for the peak season, which goes from the middle of November until just after New Years'. They don't count as seasonal workers.
Except it ISN'T dangerous. The results of a false positive in facial recognition by machine are that a human being looks at the picture. The results of a false negative are that a bad guy is missed who would have been missed anyway if the camera wasn't there.
There is no expectation of privacy in a public place, period.

Now I understand why their damn network only works along major highways.
If I'm thinking of swatting something 13 inches long, I won't think twice about swatting it; I'll think twice about what caliber/gauge to use.
Ok, follow those instructions. Start with downloading the script. Good luck.

The cynic might ask, 'what respect', but should Microsoft have taken a flaw in some of its most popular programs more seriously?
No. Their customers absolutely don't care about this, and the few exceptions have tools to fix the problem themselves.
Everybody else who cares doesn't use Windows for things that need encryption.
What are the most difficult hurdles for a manager geek to jump, and can our personality be used as an advantage in management?
Your number one problem is going to be getting over the belief that all geeks have the same personality type.

Must be regional. The majority of the ones I've met are only "foreigners" in that they are from states where you can't get grits with your omelet.

In Social Security, continuing generations are infinite. So it doesn't fall apart.
Wrong. As time passes and medicine increases, the ratio of retired persons to working persons increases.
Eventually, you need each working person to pay more than 100% of his income to fund Social Security.

Sounds like what you really need is FreeRADIUS on the Linux box, and WPA on the wireless router.
Assuming you were looking for accomplishing all of that and didn't care whether the buzzword "firewall" was involved.
Yeah, because just look at all the things governments do efficiently:

Who's managing the pool for betting when the first article is published bitching about some minor, easily-corrected GPL violation?
The Boston Tea Party was pretty illegal, I'm sure.
Which is why they didn't do it until they were ready to leave the society and form a new one, or die in the attempt.
Yes, but the seasonal workers are blue-collar.
Although, a lot of white-collar workers from the other opcos pitch in for the peak season, which goes from the middle of November until just after New Years'. They don't count as seasonal workers.
