That's because MS LOVES the BSD license. They can take code w/o giving any credit. So they support the BSDs because they've gleened so much from it.That's one of the bad things about the BSD license.
Absolutely....I run a webserver off of an old Cyrix 133 using OpenBSD. I'm going to add Jakarta to it soon and run servlets off of it. I don't know how well Java runs on the BSDs, but I'm hoping to find out.
When I get into my "programming language learning" mode, when I learn a new procedure in one language, I try to make the same program in at leats 7 others....sure, it sounds lame, but it really sticks in my head..
I guess Canada is just like the US...it says freedom of speech, but they really don't mean it....unless the communist left has brainwashed people into thinking that censorship actually helps things...
At least a 100. If you need groupware, Lotus Bloats or Novell Groupware. Eudora is good as well, but do people REALLY need groupware? Whatever happened to good ol' IMAP or POP3??? Oh well....
I personally don't want SWAT teams breaking down the doors of ANY citizen. This is really OT, but I had to say this lest any person actually think the Patriot Act is anything BUT patriotic.
Businesses are for globalization, not nationalism. A corporation couldn't care LESS about national unity, or they wouldn't SOLICIT other countries. Actually, black people in NYC are angrier about mass immigration than white people. Because it undercuts them in wages. How the hell is an inner city kid going to get out of the ghetto when a illegal immigrant will take the job HE would've taken for a lot less? When I was a kid, I was a bus boy in a restaurant for minimum wage. I don't know of any kid who could even GET that job nowadays for minimum wage. He has to take sub-human wages. Which is NOT fair.
Take a cold hard look at things. Step outside of the box. And yes, H1-B Visas are mainly from third world countries.(India, Eastern Bloc countries, etc) It's not fear mongering.It's FACT! Don't be brainwashed by the Communists who tell you otherwise. The 800 million was an arbitrary number.
However, $40k is NOT great when you've been making more thna that the past 5 years. And if you have a mortgage, car payments. mouths to feed. If I was single and living with my parents, I couldn't care less. But, when you have a $300,000 house (avg where I live), the bank doesnt care if you're unemployed. And $375 a week in unemployment doesnt even PAY my mortgage! Car payments, food, electricity, insurance. Our savings account only has $2,000 left. Which means I have a month left before I have to foreclose on my house.
Well, the thing is, in NYC, and most areas in general, they are looking for EXACT qualifications. Like, 5 years of Solaris with 3 years of Legato and 3 years of Weblogic with experience in working for a Fortune 500 company. If you have 10 years of Solarisa and only 2 of the others, you won't get hired. Now matter HOW good you are. Shit, last week, I had to take a written test, without ONE question pertaining to real-world problems. I used to tell companies that I would "fix" whatever problem they were having, and if they liked my performance, THEN they could hire me.
How can we increase jobs when we have over 1 MILLION third-world immigrants per year??? 1 million. Does anyone realize the population explosion that is occuring? and will occur within the next few years? The US tries to save the third world. However, there are 800 MILLION third worlders. The 1 million we take in a year doesnt even leave a dent. I am NOT against immigration. I'm against MASS immigration. What happened to the 200,000 per year we used to have the past 50 years? When we needed immigrants? Pollution, Jobs, Traffic, are some of the MANY things that get affected by mass immigration. If they can add jobs, where are they getting them from? Are they going to bring all the companies that went to Mexico because of NAFTA? I don't think so
After being in the business for over 10 years, and being on unemployment for the first time in my life, it's a VERY humbling experience. Especially the fact that I have mouths to feed, and a mortgage to pay. And, to top things off, The Labor board is requesting a meeting w/ me to make sure I'm lookng for work! Do they think I LIKE getting $375 a week instead of $1400 a week? Don't they realize that I do NOT want to be on unemployment? Jeez!
I've been using *NIX for so long, when I go to a Windows platform, I'm lost. All the tools and tricks I use can't be done on WIndows. Especially the command line tools, and ssh. Sure, I can get putty, but it's not the same. Can't type, top, vmstat, ps aux | sort +5n or anything like that.
Since I haven't used Windows in eons, someone please remind me what a Virus is. From what I remember, a computer virus shoudl REALLY be called A Microsoft virus.
Who's condescending? All I said is that 3 members of my family who are computer illiterate use Linux on a daily basis. They have no idea what root is, they have no idea that they can access their system remotely.They just use it.. I am really sick and tired of people saying that it's too hard. What exactly is hard? Point out the specifics. I'm not talking about slackware with no GUI. I mean a distro TUNED for the desktop (SUSE, Mandrake, Lycoris, Elx, etc). WHat is hard about it?
My only problem w/ ClosedBSD is the lack of remote admin. Right now, my firewall is in the basement. Why run down 2 flights of stairs to add a forwarded port. Until remote admin (ssh ) is available for it, I ain't using it...sorry.

Well, I have Opera installed...that installed Linux compatibility by default. That should be all I need, right?
That's because MS LOVES the BSD license. They can take code w/o giving any credit. So they support the BSDs because they've gleened so much from it.That's one of the bad things about the BSD license.
I think you need at least the boot floppy...there may be a way to launch the install disk using an image on the HDD....

And if you use links/lynx (let the flames come)i nks&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
you can type
links http://www.google.com/search?q=cookies&sourceid=l
I typed in cookies in Opera of FreeBSD and it took me to
clevercookies.com.
Hm....does opera use realnames?
And if you use Konqueoror (let the flames come)
you just type:
gg:cookies

How many of the people commenting on this story are using IE? I'm using Galeon on Windowmaker...and xnc as a file manager. All by choice.

Tell this to my grandmother, my mom and my wife...the don't KNOW that Linux is unusable for computer illiterates...they use it anyway
