I agree with you. I currently am attending, but plan on getting my MBA when I am finished at a local University... so I hope less attention is paid to my undergraduate education than my masters education.

The SCO guy didn't say that it was, "unprofessional for us linux boys to do this sort of thing."
What he said was, "It's one thing to have a complaint with SCO's lawsuit or with our position in terms of code being found in Linux. It's another thing to deal with that in an unprofessional way."
The article does paint a picture of an outraged linux community, but doesn't come out and say that it was them who did it.
Here is a story I posted on the debian-user list...
-- Dear all,
Thank you for the advise on adding the ide drive to my computer. I could not get the ide drive to even recognize. After some monkey-ing around, I decided to pull all the drives out of my computer and add 5 brand new 36GB 10,000 RPM 80pin SCSI drives to my computer. I printed out the Software RAID How-to, ordered a pizza, bought 4 cans of Mountain Dew from the soda machine, and went to work...
That was 2.5 hours ago. Now here I am writing to you. You see I could go home and tell my wife all that had happened but she would be half asleep and just stare blankly. Even awake she could not begin to sympathize with me, or even understand in the least what I am talking about. This is where you all come in. Tonight, you will unwillingly lend me a sympathetic ear.
Now where was I? Oh yes, my new hard disks. About a month ago my boss decided to order 10-15 (I lost count) of these hard drives. He did not read the fine print and accidentally ordered 80pin hot swap drives. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade right? I happened to have 5 80 pin to 68/50 pin SCSI converters lying around in the back and used those to connect these hard disks to my back-plane-less computer. Geocentric (my beloved Debian box) is a IBM Z-Pro with a Xeon 1Ghz (I could add a second processor), 1.5GB of RAM, a dual head video card, etc; all housed in a 50,000lb case. Way too much for what I use it for, but nice none-the-less. I haven't turned this computer off in months. Stable as can be, even though I was running SID. Btw, thanks to all Debian project people out there, I am constantly amazed at how functional even the 'unstable' tree is! I think I'll get "Debian 4 Life" tattooed on me somewhere... Ok, I'm loosing focus. Geocentric has 6 or 7 slots that you can add drives to on these little rails that come with the case. It took about an hour to figure out how to insert all of those drives in such a way that they would all fit. But, I did it! I then had to somehow cable these together, with the one cable I had to daisy chain them all together. It was impossible. In a moment of "ah-ha" I carefully removed two of the pressed on connectors to the ribbon cables, and then just as carefully pressed them back on with the help of a vice and a micrometer. With my newly customized cable I went back to work. After some twisting to get the connectors oriented correctly with the SCA -> 68pin adapter, they all snapped in perfectly. I would like to take a moment to add out of the 5 converters I had, I had three different brands, mismatched throughout the chain. Finally getting the computer assembled I plugged it in... A smile on my face... A 1 INCH SPARK ARCED FROM ONE OF THE CONVERTERS... Then... My main board started to smoke. I unplugged my computer... Put it on a cart and wheeled it to the back room.
I'm going to sleep now... tomorrows another day... ---
About two weeks later I got a new SCSI cable for it plugged everything back in, just for curiosities sake, and it worked with NO problems... amazing...;-)
Exactly! This is wat I was thinking. WTF good is it to give you source that you CANT compile? Shit, I have a whole hard disk full of crap software I wrote that can't compile! What does this tell us really? If you can't compile it, it MUST not be the correct source.
I'm proud to say my books are trashed. You should see my copy of the camel book, it's cover is mangled and held on with tape. The pages are dog eared and wrinkled. Not to mention the book is about twice it's original thickness packed with printed programs and post-it note book marks. One can defiantly tell if a book has been read by it's condition.
Nice to see a review on this. I have been using Safari for about 5 months now and I am in love with this service. I use it more as a trial service before I buy the actual book. I go to the site, do my search, browse the books and then choose which ones to add to my subscription. Then if I really like the book, I go ahead and order it. I too have the "hey look at how cool I am because I have these books" disease.;-) The only problem is no one I work with thinks that animal books are cool... *sigh*
That is one modest 40k army. I have spent so much on this game and only have about 30 of my minis painted! That's works out to about one mini every 73 days. "Oh, I've wasted my life."
Hey Taco and Cowboy, you should see if we could get a question and answer with Mr. Poindexter. It says in the article that he declines interviews, let's be the first!
I want to know what this cold war security advisor has to say for himself...
I'm getting out the ol' paper and pen to write this man.
I'm a DBA for Andersen (save the jokes) and we are the largest install base of Lotus Notes in the world ~80,000 users. If things don't go right for us, IBM will loose it's biggest customer.
I think I like the concept, but I won't pay for it! I spend most of my time traveling on a train. I'm in one of those "urban" areas (Chicago) that was talked about. I don't have any confidence that this product will serve me well in any of these areas. Cellular phones constantly drop off and my radio stations drop off in this area under bridges, under ground, etc. If I'm paying for this service, I want it ALWAYS on and ALWAYS available. Otherwise what's the point. The article presented the viewpoint that this is allot like cable TV, only Cable TV comes in clear almost all of the time! I rarely have to worry about interference. Besides when I'm at home I go to live365.com and listen for free! Yea, I have to put up with pesky adds, but at least I don't have to pay for these adds. Now, lets say that this was always available and had a bazillion channels. How long with just a subscription based model will you be able to make those record profits your investors are expecting... not long. Unless of course you up the subscription costs or... sell more adds. Forget it. I don't ever think something like this will fly with me. I would better the FCC put up these satellites and used our tax dollars to do this and sold access to these to the different radio stations to put op there content. I don't know. I'm just sick of paying for hyped technology that fails to deliver on it's promises...
MSNBC TV is reporting that this plane just had some huge maintenence overhalls done in the past 2 months. October 3rd and some other date. I can't find anything on this on MSNBC.com however. So I would think that this maintence would have been done.
Are there any Senators or Representatives that would position themselves against such legislation?
I am continually frustrated with the process that this country takes in making laws for its citizens. This issue is not an easy one and demands discussion. However, instead of meeting and deliberating what would be the most effective solution, our elected representatives rush to a "quick fix" by proposing legislation that not only doesn't address the problem at hand but suggest solutions that infringe on our liberties. All this in an attempt to be the first kid on the block to introduce a solution. When will our elected officials realize that political issues that affect us all are NOT easy to solve and require intelligent discussion? Woodrow Wilson said, "The whole purpose of democracy is that we may hold counsel with one another, so as not to depend upon the understanding of one man."
Alas, I remain hopeful.

I have a friend with one of these. I guess the OS is based off of CE.
Did you want to add something... or just nit-pick?

I wanted to nit pick.
