So then, the parent talks about operating systems, and you talk about a protocol, that is used by a server. There is nothing in AD that cannot be implemented on Unix systems, and for all I know it is being developed as we write.

If I spend 6 years in college and have a Master's degree, you can kiss my ass with your $35k offer.
Funny thing, in Latvia getting $35k offer after Masters is considered pretty good one. As for quality of education, at least where I study we have RISC 16 in first semester (warming up) and z/OS assembly in third year. Language of choice - C/C++. It is bit difficult to compare with US education quality, for I haven't been there.
By the way, six year learning costs about $15k total.
No, you (or anyone else) deciding how I license and distribute my software is unethical.
Yes, it is unethical, but no one is deciding how to licence your software but you. However, I do not see ethical problems in frowning upon software license that is hostile (towards free/open source community in this case).
Don't force your "ethics" on me.
American, aren't ya? If my ethics says "killing cows for food and stuff is bad", it might bit over the top to toss buckets of blood at diners in steak restaurant. However, if it is more like "thou shall not deceive", I find it perfectly reasonable to be mad at lying politicians.
You see, this is more of a matter of common good (what was it about freedoms and where they meet?). If SAP is somehow hurting people, we should find it out and react accordingly.
Who needs education? If the child, then child pays for it, if parents (for their children) then they pay. The whole idea that school is like work is ridiculous. In school kids should learn about stuff, in work you just get by. Alas, this is what happens at schools â" getting by.
I do a lot of "help desk" at home and work, both mixed environments. They all ask for help with one question or other concerning both systems and I personally can't tell the difference. Confusion is about the same. Alas, this points out that education (the one everyone hates so much) is needed. Only good thing about mainstream - you are not the only one they can bug. And with linux nowadays, there are quite a lot of knowledgeable people already.

Capitalism is an economic system in which wealth, and the means of producing wealth, are privately owned and controlled rather than commonly, publicly, or state-owned and controlled.
free software is very anti-capitalist.
What I don't get is - why is capitalist paradigm defended with such frenzy. Does it mean it is not natural for people to believe it?
With IT staff, you can always send them to read the friendly manual form software vendor. If the vendor has great documentation, why duplicate it? I've noticed that free software usually has great documentation.

Bitch!

Tell me, should blunt lying be modded down?
Printer drivers should NOT need to be in the fricking kernel to work!
Give me example of printer driver in the kernel. CUPS for instance live in userland. And you CAN just give proprietary drivers.
It is just that if manufacturers care enough about Linux, they usually care enough to make open drivers.

Wow. Just think about it, a person siting by computer and actually witing this. I am amazed. I can't even imagine a person actually reading all this.

Try what parent advised. It works under GNOME. Just grab by bottom of the window.
You mean Evolution? Why yes, it does.
[Open]Solaris in some aspects might be better, but it is OSS anyway.
Not always do you have the privilege to build network ground up.
How is this Direct Access different from auto-connecting VPN client?

Giving awkward promises was what wasn't happening before switch. And "don't push Linux because friends lose manner" is slightly unconvincing argument.
Your name is a prophecy now.
How do you compile OO.o to run it on Abiword?

One thing I am concerned about is that Linux is a moving target
Surely, all apps written for XP works on Vista. :)
If you want standing targets, take Solaris
Also, if you don't trust libraries not to have regressions, pack your software with them, look at XAMMP for example
