Seriously, he doesn't seem to have a clue as to why people use Linux.. that being for servers. He doesn't seem to realize that OS X will ONLY (legally) run on Apple blessed X86 machines.
I used Qparted on Knoppix to resize some partions on two different dual systems.. nothing would boot after that.. Non of the 'tricks' to recover the MRB and anything else would work..
I was able to, at the very least, backup my data via Knoppix.. but then I had to completely WIPE the HDs clean and restall everything.
This is a known problem with Qparted.. I guess.. but it is not very well documented that this a huge problem.
It is alright for tech... not great.. The main issue I hear a lot is that AZ is a little short on good research school for tech.. Both major schools here are trying to change that but when you compare AZ to CA, MA, UT or TX... AZ lags way behind.
Although 8% of the revenues of the software industry are from selling licenses... a few companies... like Microsoft... get MOST of their income from selling licenses. Those few companies are the ones that lobby the hardest and thus the policy you are seeing from the US.
Every milestone Dean has passed, there have been a million people saying he would not be able to do it.. Unlike Mondale and Dukakis, Dean will put up a mighty fight that the swing voters will respect and thus will vote for Dean.
Joe Trippi, Dean's campaign manager, used to be an advisor to Progeny (a commercial version of Debian started by the Debian founders). Joe is very tech and Linux savvy. He has stated that the way he has been running the Dean campaign was inspired by how Open Source software works. I have been pretty active with the Dean folks for a few months and I think what he is saying is no BS, it really seems very open and two way like Open Source software.
Howard Dean has used the Internet, specifically blogs, better than any presidential candidate. Every day, you can read their official blog or countless other personal blogs that give up to the minute info on what doing on the campaign trail. I have never felt more involved, or informed in a presidential campaign until Dean's.
All this use of blogs and such as created a tremendous amount grassroots support. Unlike other candidates that have raked in 1000s of dollars from big interests, Dean's campaign raised more than any other Democratic candidate last quarter mostly via the web with the average donation being $66 dollars..
Anyway, I feel that no matter what Dean's positions are (btw.. I think they are great)/. should give a thumbs up to how he is doing biz..
I guess it is refreshing that SCO and Co. seemed to be taking the protest in stride. However, it does nothing to boost my view of SCO. All there actions like picking on Linus, ignoring basic facts, etc are nothing but wrong, immoral and mean spirited.
Let me amend what I just said a little. My view of the management of SCO is very low, I feel bad for the employees though.
Hmm.. well is was Caldera riding on high on the capitalistic Linux IPO craze of the late 90s that allowed them to purchase SCO thus any usable IP left in SystemV code base. It was the promise of Linux who bank rolled the whole thing. I think that anyone who bought into their IPO because they thought they were investing in a Linux company should get their money back.
"More to the point, as noted in the OSI position paper on the lawsuit (about half way down - search for SMP and you will eventually find the correct segment), Linux had working SMP before UNIX did, so this is a null claim."
Arg.. ESR has that wrong. SMP was not working on Linux first.. Both the UnixWare and SCO UNIX banches had SMP working before Linux.
Having used both the RIM and currently the SideKick, the SideKick give a user experience that mimics AIM desktop client a lot better than the RIM devices. The SideKick UI, in general, will be much more attractive to AOL users.
Slashdot Mirror
However.. a cool feature they have is how they transcode all video clips into Flash format.
I am positive that they are trying to figure out how to control SPAM that would happen if they opened up the S2S portion of their server.
I could of told you this without any 'fancy' study..
:(
Yeah.. my Tivo is filled with my wife's crap...

SP2 is the first verion of Windows to support Blue Tooth.. and it is a GREAT improvement over using vendor supplied drivers and utilities.
Oh yeah.. the WiFi support and interface is MUCH bettter too.
I thought this would never happen..
How CA goes so goes the nation..
> 10. VNC
UltraVNC is *the* VNC client/server version you want to install for Windows.
CDBurnerXP Pro is a great free
CD and DVD burning software for Windows.
Screw Roxio.

That kind of speed, that good of coverage and that low of a price.. Hmm.. I gotta see it to believe it.

I was showing this technology to many companies back in '97 like iPort (now Cisco) and the likes.. They can all suck me.

I hate to defend MSFT but *please* point out a better protocol than RDC for the same CPU and bandwidth considerations...
I use RDC, VNC and X all day.. and RDC works as well as the rest.

I beg you to spend a little time reading up on Howard Dean. His
policies are far from a "socialist welfare state".
