RHCE is a good idea in the commercial market for the simple fact that corporations love training courses. Linux won't be recognized as a valid OS in "average" (pronounced: non-tech) industries until employees can be trained. In the corporate mind, Linux can't be "equal" to Novell and Microsoft's shitty products until a tech can be Linux "certified". It gives 'em that warm, tingly feeling.

IP Over SCSI?
·
· Score: 1
Aside from the bandwidth increase, SCSI has a much lower latency than ethernet. In a heavily loaded environment, low latency offers better performance than high bandwidth.
It's about time. I knew it always felt wrong to pay for my ethernet link _and_ two phone lines. This technology is probably the BEST way to break up long distance monopolies.
I'm all for freedom of speech anywhere IF and only if the speaker is original. What the slashdot readers posted in those few comments was not their content! They took Micro$oft's information and used in their own posts. That's copyright violation; plain and simple. The links, however, are free speech; plain and simple again.
There's a much better way to block banner ads than at the browser level. Simply use Squid Proxy Server and the GNU filtering package squidGuard. That way there's no possibility of the damn SPAMMERS to get to your desktop.
Moderate this up! The guy's got a good point. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. There's a big difference between sending a complete, detailed bug report and simply bitching about a lack of features or abundence of bugs. Virtually any user is capable of saying, "I was doing this, typing in this data, and clicked here; then, I got the following error message....." Slackers need to stop whining and start contributing _something_; even if it's only bug reports, or mirroring the download site, or reviewing documention. Projects are multi-level endevours that require work in many different areas so nearly everyone can contribute something.
One question....ever try to find the remote when you really need it? By the time you got to the "PrntSrcn" button, whatever you wanted to print would be long gone (and probably not worth rewinding for).
We've all read (okay, skimmed....err just clicked OK on) MS licences. Of course, their "source" or API will be the same way. The code will be licenced up the ass and require a "nominal" licence fee (pronouced: small fortune) to view / use. I wouldn't doubt if (1) Only "MS-Approved" vendors are allowed to see the source / API, and (2) those approved vendors will have to adhere to Non-disclosure agreements. The more things change.....
I'm glad to see some actual market forethought and planning by a (GNU) Linux-based company. I'd much rather see them drop the IPO than end up like VA. We really need some companies to build up actual strength and worth rather than inflating their stock prices to look powerful. Rock on Linuxcare!
The point is that the author wanted credit for the software where everyone would see it. C'mon, the only payment the author/sponsor is asking for is two lines of text on boot up; I think that's a legitimate price to pay for FREE software.
Don't delete the sponsorship messages! Yes, it's open source which gives you the ability to remove the tags just like you have the ability to run "rm -f CREDITS" on every tarball you extract. Aside from the ability to modify the source, the beauty of open source lies in the fact that ALL CONTRIBUTORS GET CREDIT! If a project had corporate backing, then the corporation should get credit for the part they helped do. I know I'd be pissed off if someone used my code without giving me credit, or if there was a renegade patch running around that REMOVED my line in the credits.
It also listed refridgeration with air conditioning. I think they're refering to a whole range of devices, not just air conditioners. Like food storage and transport, liquid cooled supercomputers, and cold fusion. Don't these things positively effect your daily lives? Okay, so maybe not those things, but the freezing and refrideration of food has had a great impact on the development of society. Frozen food is much more resiliant to disease and easier to transport larger distances. Cheaper and More available food directly relates to an increase in population. Although debatable whether an increase in human population is good, one cannot doubt that refridgeration has significantly contributed to the development of society.
A metal shield over the chip will NOT reduce magnetic or radiation effects. The shield will simply SCATTER magnetic interference, NOT block it. RDRAM chips are engineered to protect against interference which encompases much more than tin foil. Personally, I prefer paying for RDRAM chips that actually do protect against interference rather than hacking a cheap DIMM chip and randomly scatter magnetic anomolies throughout my system RAM.
If there's a bug, it will be found and exploited eventually. A simple dictionary password cracker would bust that "security" in about 5 seconds. Would the bug go unreported? Yes. Would the bug go unabused, No. Simple.
The fact that you can't read probably explains your horrific grammar and spelling in your post. I suppose paper docs can be good if for no other reason than to teach people what real, written English looks like.
I'm getting to the point where I don't care what format the documentation comes in as long as there is documentation. Good (or even mediocre) documentation is hard to find in any format! I'd settle for paper or online so long as it's there and useful.
I don't really like printed manuals, but I hate online manuals in strange formats. IMHO, the best online manuals are contained entirely on the CD and require no internet connection. Generally, I've found that when I need to read the manual, something isn't working. Possibly the internet connection, or the fancy document viewing software. In other words, Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Seriously, If there's no power in the cabin, chances are, there's also no telephone, cable, or T3's. Why would you ever want to use a computer for more than 15 minutes without net access?!?
I am sick and tired of every legitimate scientific, software, and computer-related post being met with pages and pages of religious protest. How about we have posts that RELATE TO THE TOPIC and don't advocate any sort of religion.

Where can we write to to support their decision?

Three words...GM, Ford, Chrysler.
Oligopoly happens all the time, and the customers have no choice but to take it up the ass.

...and use the cluster to run DeCSS and decode our DvD's under Linux!
Not Kids, Morons. In some cases, there is a difference. I'm 17 and wouldn't peak 70* on the freeway OR fry my CPU with overclocking.
* Yes, in Michigan this is legal.

You're either (1) running Mozilla M14 or (2) Have transparent proxies. It doesn't work with Communicator 4 or non-transparent proxies.
