I'm just thinking that I'd want my students in an environment that they're going to find useful in the future. I'm guessing that 95% of all office environments are running MS Office.
When I finished High School, WordPerfect ruled the world.
Just because something is being used now, doesn't mean it (or one of its later versions) is going to be used in the future.
I fail to see how this is new. I mean, there is a reason why someone thought it was necessary to write a Linux Advocacy HOWTO.
Of course, most of the people aren't developers or testers or document writers. Most of them seem to be people who don't contribute anything but lots of noise (I guess since they are incapable of contributing anything,they think they belong by threaten to harm anyone they perceive as a threat to the community')
And this isn't actually a new phenomenon specifically within the Linux community. Any community creates these kinds of people, whether it's OS/2, Amiga, Macintosh, Windows.
Still I'm not sure the community did anything wrong with O'Grady (having her removed from writing an inflammatory article on a Linux site seems reasonable), unless someone actually did threaten physical harm to her (for that person, she should report it to the police. We don't need those in the community in the first place).
I have studied both in Sri Lanka and Norway, and the mathamatics levels here are very low compared.
I grew up in Norway, and went to college in the States, and I don't think it's as simple as you put it. The problem with the education system in Norway, is that everything is normalized. Everybody supposed to learn the same thing, which means that the pace of class is the slowest student. If you are interested in mathematics or physics or whatever, there is no way for you to get into an advanced placement class.
From what I could see from my fellow students in the US, the people who were really into say math, had much more knowledge of the subject because of these advanced classes.
At least this aspect is much better in the US than Norway, IMO.
Hmmm... this bug affects Firefox 1.0.3. Going to mozilla.org, there are no update to 1.0.3. The browser hasn't notified me that there is an update available. So where is the update? Or do you expect people to download the nightly?
On another subject, anyone laying odds of Firefly returning to the small screen of the film does well?
Apparently, Universal got a three picture deal from Fox. As in, if the movie does well, Universal can make two more movies before Fox gets the property back. So don't expect it going back to the small screen for awhile.
Batman Begins is actually taken from Batman: Year One,
It might have been influenced by Batman: Year One, but it isn't taken from that story. Batman Begins deals with his training before becoming Batman. Batman: Year One deals with his first year as Batman (after donning the suit).
The director and writer of Batman Begins made the conscious choice of dealing with an aspect of the Batman mythos that hadn't been covered that much in the comics (according to Christian Bale).
The bigger picture is that the Euro's seem to have a complete disdain for open markets, and I worry that they won't change until their taxes are outrageous and unemployment tops 10%.
I'm saying this as an Eureopean, taxes are already outrageous and unemployment tops 10% in most of the EU countries with socialist governments (Germany, France). The population has been conditioned to not careing. Like all socialist, they think money grows on trees.
It has been (almost I have to admit) feature frozen for quite some time now and everything that's coming in are either security or bug fixes.
I run Sarge on my mailserver. Recently (probably a couple of months ago, after Christmas, before April), bogofilter changed its database format when I upgraded, which broke bogofilter. If Sarge had been stable, this wouldn't happen.
Well, with Manny Coto (who was responsible for this season) leaving for 24, it was probably a good idea to end it now. Unless you wanted a repeat of the two first seasons of Enterprise. And that's what you would have gotten, with Berman and Bragga in charge. Can you say, Temporal Cold War?
I think a good bayesian should work. I don't think I've ever had a problem with it using bogofilter. At worse, the first email gets put into my Unclassified folder, and subsequent email gets correctly classified. And no, no false positives.
Imagine a service where music could be transmitted wirelessly, and you could have a receiving device even smaller than an iPod to listen to the music with.

that means NO CLI
Funny that Microsoft is beefing up CLI in Longhorn if it's totally unnecessary.

I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire
You can say it, doesn't mean I have to stand and listen to you say it, or repeat what you have said to other people.
And what is the trolltech QT problem?

When you're in the United States on a temporary work visa, you are still considered a resident of your country of origin,
Only according to INS, according to IRS you are a resident and will be paying taxes (and social security and other fees).

Didn't some company buy the right to sell the product (renaming to eComNetStation or something 'marketable')?
I'm pretty sure "Objects in Space" got broadcasted. Only three episodes didn't get aired: "Trash", "The Message" and "Heart of Gold".
You do realize that Enterprise had timetravel in their very first episode, AKA the pilot?
They're keeping 5%. BTW, Paypal charges maximum of 2.9% + USD 0.30

No need to imagine. It's called a radio.

The Open-Source movement, maybe, but not the Free Software movement.
