It is the same guy, and he's being innundated with mail right now. I doubt he's going to be in the mood to respond to even reasoned criticism, since he would be doing that for free, and, according to him, that's communisim.
I talked to another, mutial friend about his article and she said that "he loves to stir up the shit." But I have to wonder, what's the point? Or at least, why is Forbes paying him to do it?
Maybe you haven't noticed, but unions are weaker now than they've been since the 1930's. Again, if you haven't noticed, most people in any profession will work for less money, but not voluntarily. If you reduce CEO's salary from $10M dollars a year to $1M, I think you'll still find a lot of candidates for the job.
Yes, you're right. Either way though, the pay discepancy, and certainly the danger in urban areas, discourage better teaachers from entering the field.
Yeah, show me where in the U.S. teachers are being overpaid. Only neo-con, big business puppets suggest that teachers are paid too much. Sure, the state of education in the US has resulted in underqualifed or just pain bad teachers in some areas, but generally only because those districs are so dangerous and hopeless that better teachers get discouraged and quit.
If we paid teachers well we'd attract more teachers that are truly talented, like we did just thirty five years ago, when teachers salaries where about the same as doctors and lawyers. Those teachers taught me, and they were fantastic. I feel sorry for today's students.
Jerry Seinfeld received more than that for each 1/2 hour episode of "Sienfield" for doing the same. Hopefully Ms. Davis' writing is more interesting or humorous. but even if it isn't, it's still a "deal" as far as I can tell.
You haven't sunk to his level because you aren't really selling something. What you are doing is expressing your opinion, in an ironic way, that how they conduct business is wrong.
you could say that Jabber has been affected if you like
thanks?:/
The story is titled, "Yahoo Blocks Outside IM Clients", all non-Yahoo clients/gateways/whatever are effectively broken, regardless of where that break is. To say that Jabber is unaffected is just equivocation.
So you're saying Jabber is somehow uneffected, but then you say that Yahoo gateways on Jabber servers would be broken. That means to me that Jabber is "broken" too, in that you can't use it to connect to Yahoo. With the exception of where the break is in the application model, why is this any different from the way that gaim or any other client is broken?

Atomic transactions consist of grouping of changes to tables or rows such that all or none of the changes take place. A rollback operation can reverse all the actions of the atomic transaction.
At least for me, it's not about specs. The iBook was the answer to my wife's desire to run Quicken and my desire not to use Windows. At first, it was just the expedient answer. Now, I really love our iBook and I'd buy another Mac in a second.
I use Linux for work, and I use it at home too, but for some things the Mac is just so much nicer. Also, looking cool is a really nice feature for a computer that's always visible. Recently I've been thinking 'gooseneck' iMac for our kitchen bar area.
CPAN is a *much* better package management solution than plain vanilla rpm
Our experiences are very different. I constantly have problems with CPAN updates, I dread having to use that system every time I do, and it's never clear what state your machine's in when it fails, or what to do to fix it.
At least with RPM I know how to recover from the problems I occasionally experience. (But I like debian's package management even better.)
Likely true, but in the case of this particular Sony camera they're using a Carl Zeiss T* lens, which any photographer knows is going to be a very high end lens. Who knows what that means for the quality of the rest of the camera, but it's certainly a good sign.
I believe the issue here is with RedHat Advanced Server, which supposedly has been tested far more and has a longer release cycle. In fact, I believe it's basically RedHat 7.3 + bug fixes. "Consumer" RedHat is released more frequemently, but it's still free. (I haven't paid for it since RedHat 2 something)

Why not if you can afford to splash extra $10 on a book just to make an ideological point.
Some people give their lives for "ideological points", $10 seems pretty cheap by comparison.
On the other side of the coin, what kind of person are you if you give up what you believe in for $10?
Um, I'm a Linux advocate and I will tell you that the software is indeed free. If you disagree, you'll need to provide some proof that Linux is not available for free. Sure, people cost money but good admins for either OS cost about the same.
In case you haven't noticed, Microsoft's operating systems cost many thousands of dollars when you buy the licence that let's you run an unlimited connection internet/intranet server. That's many thousands of dollars more that zero dollars, and often as much or more money than the hardware it runs on.
Yes, you're going to pay to run Linux too, you just don't have to pay for the software, unless of course you want to.

I actually know Dan Lyons personally, I can't believe he wrote this column. I'm going to have to have a talk with him.
His story should really have been, "Company develops hardware product driven by code they didn't write, and dosen't read the source code licence."
I think you're arguing with the wrong person, I agree with you and didn't write what you've quoted.

Where? In my school system, and apparently generally as this article suggests: A New Deal For Teachers
Yeah, show me where in the U.S. teachers are being overpaid. Only neo-con, big business puppets suggest that teachers are paid too much.
