That explains it....trusting your FTP server information on a Windows server should learn ya:)
I'm not sure if IBM hates MS that much...buy any IBM workstation and it's Windows XP by default..try calling ordering an IBM PC with Linux on it. They are very much like Dell in that respect. I think they have feet in both camps, to wait and see who wins. I don't trust IBM 100%.For 40 years they were Public Enemy #1. They might not be as Evil as Microsoft, but don't marry IBM yet.
Why does AIX suck? I think it's the best of the commercial UNICES. When I start working, I'm going to buy myself a second hard RS/6000. (Besides the fact that I've administered AIX for the past 2 years, I have administered at least 3 other UNICES, and AIX is the best IMHO)
They contribute plenty..one I use and thank them for is JFS, the journalling filesystem used by AIX. I have a question...I love Linux..use it everyday, but I ALSO love AIX..which I think is the superior commercial UNIX..what's wrong with using AIX?
Amen...I didn't know that Finland bans firearms...well, in the US it doesnt matter...do you know how hard it is to GET a firearm here? You have to do much acrobatics that only die hards will get one..
My website lists all the Websites/magazine/newspapers that have the news the media does not print. Like,Middle America News. Go to http://www.crimeagainstamerica.com
OK, well, my main idea was that publically funded (that is - taxpayer funded) software SHOULD be under a GPL'ish license. However, too much legislation leads to abuse. Like what is happening now. Making a law that makes GPL un-american or what-have-you will go right under the noses of the avg citizen since they have Bread and Circus. I agree with you but there is a bigger picture. It is OUR job as citizens to prevent the gov't from abusing ITS rights.
As a rule of thumb..you never want to dress better than your boss/manager.It's taken as a sign of disrespect. It's the Salesman's rules. Dress as good as yuor clients, but never upstage them.
You know, I was more than willing to download a trial copy of Netware and install it to see why colleges still teach novell for networking classes (Every bank still has CNEs on the payroll) I played with a Netware 5 beta way back when I worked for EAB and it had a Java XServer type thingie. I ALWAYS questioned why they used Novell when they had 3,000 UNIX servers at the same time.I did a LITTLE research online, and found not much good info on google (like a quick synopsis).So, after scanning the web, and reading the replies on Slashdot, Netware is a super powered DOS with SCO code.(I think they bought SCO at one time.) No trial version of Novell exists, so I guess I'll never experience the "power" of Novell, or wonder why Novell has never been an option for a company besides a bank...
I remember needing DOS to install Netware, and it just added networking to DOS apps, etc. Now, why would somebody use Novell now? Is it a REAL OS? Does it still need DOS/Windows to run? What am I gaining/losing by using Novell instead of a *NIX?
How much? I have yet to buy a DVD burner because I can't justify the cost..(OK..my wife won't let me...but that's neither here not there:)) Is this a sun-$200 unit, or do I have to wait years for that to occur?
People misunderstand me..none of this is the fault of immigrants per se...I'm an immigrant...it's the fault of the US by allowing MASS immigration when it's not needed. The 2 waves of immigration were 1840 and 1920's. From 1940 on, the US has had a cap of around 200,000 per year, which is fine..keeps the population at a sane limit, and keeps the economy at a normal rate. However, since 1965 (Immigration reform act), there have been an avg og 500,000 per year. The law says that 90% have to come form the third world (Europe blames the US for being a "brain drain", taking the good europeans away). The 60's movement about saving the starving children opened up the flood gates. Since Sept 11, 2001, there have been 1.3 MILLION immigrants! Mostly to California and New York. That's THIS year. Now, did we NEED that many? During the 2 big immigration waves we did. But now we don't.With 80% coming from 3rd world nations, and NOT assimlating, by the time my daughter retires, she will live in a third world country..Immigration in itself is not evil..MASS immigration is.
OK..let me tell you something....since you are not a citizen, you have no right to talk about MY country, just as I don't have a right to talk about yours.I was not born here! I moved here 15 years ago when I was 18, learned the language, became a citizen, went to college, and I vote for my local politicians. Where I come from is not an issue (Vienna), because I am an American citizen. I worked in McDonalds and bagged groceries at the SuperMarket to pay my way through college. I earn what a US citizen should get. So, you are saying that there is a SHORTAGE of US technical employees? I KNOW what H1B visas make! I used to manage them! They are CHEAPER by at least $30,000 a year! There are PLENTY of US citizens who are 50x more skilled than many H1B visas. Companies dont want to pay...why pay $100,0000 when you can get "good enough" for $50,000? It's called indentured servitude. When your mortgage payments can't be met, because a person who is here on a TEMPORARY work visa (the original law was to work for 6 months..then LEAVE), has taken your job...then we can talk.
Amen Brother! That's what the US SHOULD be doing..assimilate, assimilate, assimilate...(Developers, Developers, Developers!!) Learn the language, learn the culture and don't expect "special" rights....
I've had conversations with my fellow geeks, and we agree that this is exactly like H1B visas doing the same work as us for a fraction of the cost. Does it piss us off? You bet. Should this piss Microsoft off? Hell yeah. Asking Microsoft to become cheaper is like asking me to drop my salary so it's comparable to an immigrant. I have no love for Microsoft, but I can empathize..how can they beat Linux? Make it BETTER than Linux..in all ways. That's how we as professionals beat the immigrants. Become better, so it's WORTH their money. I just have a feeling that Linux will still rise above...just like my faith in this country to leave our borders wide open. Have a nice day
Not to get into a political debate, I have to say that the Constitution was written with the memories of the Revolutionary still in the air. The US revolted against the UK! Remember? The gov't is there to guard and protect us, not to feed us. per se. If you have a guard dog, and put them on a chain, they can perform their duty. However, if you leave the guard dog untied, and let him roam, he'll eventually take charge of your house and start shitting on your bed.Likewise with the government..keep it untethered, and eventually it will do what it damn well pleases. Remember the ancient Roman saying, not long before Rome fell? Give the "Bread and Circus". Give them food and keep them entertained, and they won't care how corrupt the government is. Keep people drunk with MTV and propaganda, and make everone happy and no one will give a shit about how corrupt the US is. The liberal politicians of today don't give a crap about the American people. They want votes, and will do anythng they can to get votes. They are master spin doctors. Liberals ultimately look out for politicians and the elite and whatever "agendas" are on the platform this week. This country is losing its identity with increased corporate globalism. What ever happened to "Border, language, culture"? That's what the definition of a nation is..we no longer have either. Visit my site http://www.crimeagainstamerica.com for more info on these travesties. You are probably not really a liberal. You just lean to the left. Liberals of today are not the liberals of 50 years ago....the agendas have changed big time.Kennedy was the last "real" liberal. And probably the best president we have had in recent history..he CARED for the American public and was looking out for us, thus beig the reason he got shot.

I agree with you, but why wouldn't IBM themselves eat their own dog food, so to speak...
...isn't it spelled kAzaA? or is it KazAa?

The funniest thing is I've had that sig for over 6 months and no one has ever commented on it, and ispell never detected it....odd
Actually..it's NOT legal. There are city laws that prohibit this. Especially since Giuliani was in office.

Whether or not the GPL is wrong for the US government, why does it have to be legislated? Making laws such as this doesn't sound like freedom to me.
