This is the kettle, your black.
This really a battle for a monopoly, not AOL/TW trying to be the good guys..
It is cool that another corporation is picking a fight with another....
Ummm.... how much did you pay to see your doctor last time? How much did your health plan pay? How much did your government pay? How many people use need healthcare? I was going to write alot more but I just read what you wrote again. What type of response was that? We have a healthcare system that is not perfect, but by it's simple existence is better than what is in the US. Get creative or at least educated on the subject.
It gets things done now, instead of waiting until someone figures out how to make lots of money off it. Gee, what will those Canadians think of next, Healthcare for the people? wait a min........
What will the next ask slashdot be?
What is a good OS?
What is a good computer?
Why not go to a site that deals with newbie's
wait that's slashdot now. Never mind
I give up slashdot is doomed to be what it is now, and no one can change that..... shitty.
I use this with much sucess,
I must then run ssh-add for every key I want to use. doing that once a day (assuming your not in a hostile enviroment, and never lock the console...)
saves time. Is this a bad idea?????
I beleive they are now operating in the black.
Meaning no, they haven't payed out yet, but they aren't loosing money. That is a pretty good step in the right direction
First off Microsoft has been an established business for DECADES..... they have revenue from TONS of sources (MS press, certs, MSP programs, etc, etc.). Comparing them financially to a company that has been around for 5 - 7 years is a little unfair, not to say business is but..
Given time I think, Open source businesses will either succeed (like redhat), fail (great bridge), or get bought up (maybe turbolinux? or caldera). IBM, HP, Compaq, Oracle are behind Linux, IBM went as far as to say they'd drop AIX for Linux if it meets/beats it in all the usual areas. Right now there will be many companies that die off, but the strong will survive, and I think wil flourish once we get through this downturn/slowdown/recession/whatever. The momentum is there, why wouldn't it succeed in at least becomming a direct competitor of MS??
Has anyone else noticed that *ALL* business models are affected, not just the open source??? The O/S model is really just starting out, consider that when you compare them to hp or compaq or whoever. You'll see that they are holding their own. Which is amazing considering how radical the O/S model is compared to the closed source model (not so much caldera, their kinda like a leech). The WHOLE ECONOMY is in a "downturn" not just this "crazy" market..... geezz.../. has become the MTV of the geek world....
Mandrake started out as RH with KDE as default and i586 binaries. This stayed the same up untill 7.x and now 8.x. They still have almost direct compatiblity with RH for rpms (almost rememeber....). They've now gone their own way, especially with all the "drake" utils. I think only SuSE has support for th RS/6000 (I assume that is what you are using to run AIX currently).
Good distro over all. 8.0 has a lot less bloat now with their server install.
IMHO:
No matter what the QA process there is now way to discover all problems with an update. By releasing them "bit by bit" they will reduce the what might be broken by a service pack style system.
I don't know. Watch TV, reading the media, it's like out of a bad version of 1984 or Brave New World.
I don't know.

Actually I believe this would be possible, but totally useless. You could possibly develop some sort of queuing system that be able to "qeue" incomming / out going packets. then make it alternate with PUT/GET requests. Again this would serve no real purpose. Anyone else? could this be possible or am I too stoned to relize that it isn't?
There are many different types of people who could be considered Techno-heads or whatever. There are the marketing guys who have their palm pilot, web enabled cell phone, laptop desktop etc. But that's it. They really don't undestand how anything worksk, they want the latest and greatest toys. Then there are also people who could build a palm pilot out of duct tape and a radio. But they understand technology,but they don't feel the desire to always have the latest and greatest, you would find them to be much more polically responsible. To say every geek out there is self-centred or even the majority is nuts. I went to H2k, (H.O.P.E. or Hackers On Planet Earth). I went there expecting to be 99% hacking this or that, it was 90% about polical activisim.
First I am not a college student, I am in fact a high school drop out, that spends all to much time infront of a computer. There is not much I can say to your reply except, do you really think the kernel would've started let alone come to the point it is at now in a different enviroment. The ansewer can only be no. There have been no real "politcal" control of the kernel. It has no company that is trying to sell you an upgrade, or newer features. It wants to be the best it can be. That is why corporate "management" cannot work for it.
The article points out that children younger than grade 4 should not be exposed to computers, which to extent I can accept (I got my first computer when I was 8). Kids that young have no need to learn about the Internet, they are still developing social skill, among other basics. They should be introduced to them gradually and at the "right" time, whatever that may be. To give a kid a computer for the sake of it makes no sense.
As far as I know it is impossible to have a program execute with out activating it. But even before that it would have to be accepted by the user. you could attach a program to another and send that, then have it execute before the other is loaded but still very, very unliky...
Slashdot Mirror
remember that
Wow and apples are apples, oranges are oranges.
Who the hell thought they could get away with that?!?! damn.

I am all for non-censorship! but this could also be viewed as Corporate power triumphing over government..... just a thought
And thank goodness there are those who believe everything they see.

How could people feel obligated to give a good review in exchange for free, free software. Especially Red Hat!?!?!?!??

I canceled my Cable to pay for broadband Internet, and I am still seeing ads for Fox "When [insert item here] go bad" programs!!
ARGGH!

where's my lawyer!
