In my situation, Windows does not make sense. I have to work a 9-5 job to make ends meet and I'm starting a business. I need to get everything I can out of my hardware, not be crippled by licence audits, windows is wholy inadequite when you need minimum administration and maximum preformance. It's also not usable when you're broke, but still need to get systems running. So, for me the choice is baby sit an operating system that I find the interface to to be terible, that I don't understand the internals well enough to fix, and neither does anyone else, including MS, or I can use an utterly transparent system, with the ability to turn off any service I find unneccacary. HMMM. this is a tough one george.
I don't see why they'd have a problem with it. he's paying each of them their due, and if he contacts them may even decrease the cost of routing between them.
That's the realy odd thing, they use . as a thousands seperator and , as a decimal seperator, so it's kinda confusing for us yanks, but it does make sense, in a european twisted sorta way.
Jabber does work, and rather well. The only problem I've had with the service is that I can't find a Yahoo! transport that works, and if I could convince all 2 of my buddies on YIM to convert I'd be set.
I saw this message after hours on end of fighting a fucked up MS Windows 98 install, I'm not going to delete the message right away so I can respond later when I am reasonable. Let's just say that if you already have the skillset for Linux, and you're a broke assed start up, MS Windows is not an option. Of course this is the sort of thing that applies when most of the software that does the heavy lifting for your LOB (in my case movie production) is available on Linux. Most of our people are using windows on the computers they already own, but for our first set of company owned computers (our render farm) it's realy not an option.
Paid more, work less, sounds like a good combination to me. What's this? I can run my hardware into the ground? That means less time wasted on setting things up. What else? Oh, once I set something up it doesn't need babysat, awesome. *gasp* you mean I tech my users how to use an application, and it works the way it's suposed to, without intervention every single time? How are they going to deal with that? Windows only has lower TCO if your downtime isn't worth anything.
Um, one of the big advantages of open source is the fact that it isn't dependent on one entinty It's much cheaper for thousands of Linux geeks to each burn a few hundered CDs and distribute them when the bus comes to the town they already live in. We let MS gather the crowd, then we spoke their wheels. It's called asymetric warfare.
The left calls it a vast right wing conspircy, but it's realy a conspiricy of only the elite right wingers who mostly lean left. Those of us right enough to think the second ammendment allows us to own an Abrams tank of F-22 are being left out. They are also leaving out the ones who think we should nuke Washington and start over with a government who has acutaly read and unstood the Constitution. I'm all for opening the whole can of whup ass, and destroying the terrorists, but dammit I want it to be withing the scope of the constitution. I'm also all for expantionism and impreialism. We have to be imperialistic over seas since we're friendly with CA and MX though. my RealPolitik only steaches so far.
No, but doubt raised by tained evidence is. Furhman should have been fired after that fiasco. Like I said, both trials had the correct verdicts, whatever the reasons.
Anyway we've not been manufacturing new nukes anyway. We already have enough to wipe all life off earth 2 times over. Now new delivery systems, I'm not sure about. But in case you hadn't heard we're decreasing our stockpiles of nukes.
Of course, but that has nothing to do with his criminal trial. The trial under discussion was a criminal trial, so I didn't want to muddy the waters with something that did not relate, specificaly his civil trial. In my not so humble opinion both verdicts were correct.
Mr AC I salute you. This is a much needed spot of humor in a rather morbid discussion. True you are OT, and for that matter so am I, but Truly, you are a defender of the sanity of those who read at -1. I didn't even have to read your entire post and I started laughing and stoped being so damned agrivated.
Well, we did invade one of the two main countries with predominatly muslim population that isn't an utter hellhole of religious intolerance for it's average man. To bad it seems it takes a megalomaniac terrorist to convince them that culture and relitive civility are good things. Once we properly pacify it, Iraq will make a much better ally than Saudi Arabia ever did. And that's what has them so scared and our gassoline prices going up. Think about it, in the 80s Saddam was our friend against the Iranians. He attacked our lifestyle and ability to defend our country and we turned damned fast on him. The shit the Saudis pull is going to be where we can turn on them before to long. We should work toward energy self-suficency, but until we get there we must have a secure and friendly bridgehead in the mideast. As long as oil is needed for our defense and way of life, we cannot let it be dictated by those who hate us.
Christians also feel that suicide is a sin, and since you're already dead you get no chance to be forgiven for it. That's why there's such a lack of Christian and Jewish suicide bombers and kamakaze pilots. Also it's a damned waste of resources to die killing just one person, you'll never win that way.
A Christian extremist shows his commitment by walling himself up in a compound with tons of weapons the government doesn't want him to have, which is a clear violation of his second amendment rights (read the damned thing, not the interpretation of it) and lets the ATF and FBI buldoze over him. Prefreably while sniping jackbooted government thugs and going to his god like a soldier.
Damn, am I actualy saying I respect that wacko David Koresh? Anyway the lack of suicidal tendancies is not a show of a lack of courage (many Christians risk death for their beliefs), but rather a belief that suicide is wrong. To paraphrase Patton, "No poor dumb bastard ever won a Crusade/Jihad by dying for his god, he won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his."
Hate to say it but the LAPD created reasonable doubt on that one. All the jury decided was guilty or not guilty. It would have been jury nulification if there were overwhelming evidence. Did O.J. kill his ex-wife, probably. Was there reasonable doubt, yes. The prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and they failed to do so.
I found that annoying to, fortunatly every damned thing Root Hat does with a GUI config too in RHL 9 starts with redhat-config- hit tab and you can find the program you need.
The last distro I used on a machine like that was Red Hat Linux 6.0 Netscape 4 handles low RAM better than Mozilla. Of course if you've already got Win 98 installed why bother.
Hmm, I find 2. 3. 6. Tons of free software of equal or better quality than most comercial software, and 7. NO Viruses are huge advantages of NOT runing MS. 1 is dependant on what exactly you mean by compatability. Evertying I want runs on Linux. I don't have trouble exchanging pertenant data with others.
You forgot unapologetic. That's what I like about him. He's loud obnoxious and proud of it. Makes for a very entertaining radio show. That and the fact that even when he's wrong, he's right(wing).
The CIA saying China has nukes would be like them saying the grass is green. True, but absolutely unhelpful. They've been in the nuclear club for quite a while. Now if they were developing Biological weapons or manufacruing new nukes, then there's kinda sorta be a justification for war. Of course, it's my not so humble opinion that "Hmm, there's realy nice natural resources there" is a good reason for war, as long as we're open about it. Unfortunatly China is to damned expensive to be worth it. At least until we invade Sibera, then maybe we can use the Russians to do the dying. Oh well, I guess that's just pie in the sky. GW isn't going to go up against civilised and developed countries.
I've found slashdot to be a good place to find rhetoric, but a bad place to find genuine information. Fortunatly for me I'm usualy looking for rhetoric so I can bask in the feel of flames washing over me. It feels kinda odd to be helpfull. I need to find a thread where I can be my normal tin-foil-hat wearing, imperalistic, libertarian, war-mongering self.

Realy folks, don't give us links to servers that can't handle a real load.

If I were female I'd want to have your love child, of course, if I were female I wouldn't be as bloodthirsty as I am either.
