Star Trek is not geeky it's Nerdy. The old one is cheesy. They *all* have bad acting (with a few exceptions like Patrick Stewart). They all have bad writing. In Star Trek if somebody has a bump on his nose, or slightly different ears, but otherwise looks human, he's an alien. What's that about? I saw one episode of DS9 (the first), where Cisco had to teach an entity that lived outside of our time stream. If the thing is simultaneously at all points on our timeline, how can it learn? It should know now, what it knew 100000000 years ago, and will know 1000000000 year from now, because to it all three points are the same. (Not a troll, I just *really* don't like Star Trek, or people assuming I do, cuz I like Star Wars, anime, etc.).

It does suggest a possibility of further work for TSR at the end of the document. I'll take $100k for the game world I built for fun over the past years.
I'd suggest having the users (or leads or whatever) try the windows version of star office. Make sure they can do what they need to do, before you switch them. Otherwise you'll be forced to switch back, and they'll have a negative view of Linux. Also make a list (you can't plan something like this too much) of all the apps they're using, and what features they're using, and make sure you can provide all of those features before you switch.

At this point the momentum in the software industry lies firmly with Java and C#.
Exactly what type of crack are you smoking?
According to
techies.com, C++ is the most requested language
skill, and the second skill overall (after Unix), with Java close behind it. Java is not a good laguage for building large enterprise level systems. JVMs are too slow.
More important...C++ jobs pay much better than Java jobs (and Unix pays better than windoze).
I do C++ on Solaris and Linux, so I'm happy.:>
As for C#. Who would ever use it? It only runs on windoze, which is rarely used in the enterprise, and it is slow, buggy, and relatively untested.
So is it that we Westerners are too dumb to understand anime? Or are they going to change "Kaneda" to "Kenny" and "Tetsuo" to "Teddy" so Americans can keep them straight?
I have my VHS of the dubbed version, so I'm not worried. Note to self: The VHS is getting pretty bad, maybe go pick up the DVD...
The founding fathers had more freedom of speech than you
and I do today. They fought mostly for monetary reasons
like taxation. But the government that was then founded was
founded on principles of liberty. The current US government
restricts freedoms that threaten it as much as it can get away
with.
Are you trying to justify repression with that 'majority rules'
crap? If 51% of the people voted to have you taken out and
shot (I'd vote against even though I don't know you:), would
you be speak highly of majority rule?
Hitler was elected by a majority...
We have a Constitution that is supposed to restrict the majority
rule, by restricting what the government can and cannot do.
And having a police force (the FBI) is on the cannot
list along with siezing property without criminal prosecution,
and restricting the rights of people to say anything,
whether the government likes it or not.
I said having an opinion that is a threat to another person,
or worse our country is a crime.
Perhaps you need to work on your study of the English
language: having an opinion is not making a threat. The
parts of the site that I saw were not threatening. They spoke
about how the government should be removed peacefully, and
gave advice on resisting repressive police actions (self defense).
And in this country making vague threats is not a
crime. A threat must be a specific intention to criminal action.
"Let's topple Congress," is not a threat. "Let's shoot George Bush
during his next trip to the doctor" is. (Note to Secret Service:
It's just an example.;)
The government has made it a lot more than just "harder for
you to carry a gun". To begin with, any gun restriction
violates the Second Amendment. And they're now keeping
records on gun ownership, so if they do need to go collect
the guns from people it will be easy.
You have to take in account people don't just want freedom. They want security.
Sad but true. And they're giving away my freedom
in exchange for a false sense of security.
Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security
--Benjamin Franklin
He has had opinions which are essentially threats
towards our government and country. Crime.
First off, our government and our contry are two very
different things. Our country was founded on principles of
liberty, our government is a collection of power hungry
whores who will sell anything to anyone for the right
campaign contributions. And who love nothing more than
increasing their own power by limiting our rights.
Second off, it scares me that someone would actually say that
having opinions is a crime!
In a couple of weeks many of us will be spending a Monday
relaxing in honor of some men who had anti government
opinions (Thomas Jefferson, George Washington). Every
summer we shoot off fireworks to celebrate their
anti-government opinions and violent revolution.
The first step of a fascist government is to restrict the ways
people can oppose it by banning guns, labeling dissenters as
traitors or terrorists, etc.
If anyone really wants to keep this from happening vote
Libertarian.
"People can rant and rave on the Internet all they want,
but when they cross the line of calling people to action to
violently overthrow the Constitution of the United States,
they have a problem," said McLaughlin.
I find it horribly ironic and insulting that an FBI agent would
imply that he is defending the Constitution, when
the FBI has been attacking and violating the Constitution
since it was created (unconstitutionaly created no less).
It sounds more like Austin is rallying people to violently
reinstate the Constitution that the US government
has been ignoring and raping all these years.

I install Debian from a single CD, the other CDs are not required, they contain lots of extras that some people might want.
No distro is really any more or less bloated than any other (as far as I've seen). If you install a lot of crap, you'll have a lot of crap. If you install a minimal system, you'll have a minimal system. And the handful of distros I tried before discovering that Debian is the best (;> ) all allowed a great deal of control over what was installed.

Debian Potato is obsolete, but Debian Sid is quite bleeding edge. The stable release of Debian is only so old because they're very picky about their releases, but that's a good thing: Debian is rock solid.

Yes his argument was bad, but don't take it out on Debian. It's an awesome OS.
Who's at war? The US isn't. There has been no declaration of war, so the government cannot take on wartime powers. Truman found that out when he tried to force striking miners back to work during Korea.
And even if we were at war, what make you believe that they'd repeal these repressive laws and civil rights violations after the war?
The federal government is using this as an excuse to move one more step towards the police state.
I believe it's a spin off of the right to a fair trial. If you can't talk to your lawyer in absolute confidence, then you can't get the best possible defense, because you can't tell him all the facts without risking things. It's similar to the interpretation that grants the right to council and offers to provide one free of charge...to insure that the defendant has a quality defense.

Switch to Cox Cable Modem. I live in Phoenix and have one. It's faster, about the same price, and (now don't tell anyone...) "allows" me to run my own web, mail, ssh, ftp, etc. servers.
But I don't know if they're signing up new customers, because @Home is kaput.
As a proud vim user I agree about ftp editing. I don't even use ftp, because it's not secure. I like vim because it's very fast, does syntax highlighting and code indenting the way I want it to, and when you know the funky commands well, is actually quite efficient and ergonomic to use.
