Hrmm, I need to use my minutes more efficiently... If it takes 4 mins to microwave a pizza, maybe I should switch to a burrito, at 2 mins... 1,440 1,436 1,438 1,440 1,440 1,440 100% 99.7% 99.9%
Look at all of the time I could save! .2% of my day...
Hrmm lets see. I usually associate people getting beat up with geeky depressed weeklings. Bombings and such, yeah, this wouldn't just set them off... Suicidals, yeah, singling them out would make them feel way better. I had a friend in HS who could have used this... Yeah, but he was popular and not depressed at all... Go figure, the people with drugs have a click that they fit into. My friend would never have been turned in on something like this, eventually his mother had him arrested... Yeah, this sounds like a great system.../sarchasm
The graphic is representational of the topic under which this story is filed. It isn't a graphic thrown in based on personal preference. It is inserted by the perl script upon which this system is based. It wasn't meant to be offensive or associate this story with the american credo or anything, it is just a visual cue for people who like reading stories about the government in the US. Besides, it is government inside the US that is allowing this to take place, and NC tax dollars that are paying these people to run this program. If you want to see it change, then petition NC, or file with the court system saying that the program is bad, the system is merely profiling the topic as it is entered in the database.
The windows utilities still do not compare with the nature of actually being meant to be able to carry out these tasks. They were designed to be used separately.
BTW, I didn't mean to be offensive. I'm not going back on anything that I said. But I hope that I didn't upset anyone. I know that this weakens my earlier statement, and will make me look like a bitch. But I'm too nice to just shut someone down like that. Even if he did deserve it.
The original unix kernel was developed in assembly. When they tried to port it, they found that this was more effort than they really wanted to partake. C was born, and unix was developed in harmony with C. Also, piping and redirecting are desirable features as a function would have. The operating system is designed to allow you to combing utilities in new ways. This isn't asskissing. This is what anybody who doesn't have their head up their ass and knows 2 licks about computer science would know. Hell, I've even had a class that pretty much was taught on the same premise. What do you have, an MCSE? Congrats. I'll make sure to mention that in my dissertation. I was really shut down by microsoft's bitch, Anonymous Coward.
Linux is based on Unix, Unix was developed in harmony with software development. Windows was certainly not. Piping and redirecting and filtering make Unix a breath of fresh air to any user who has been trapped in a windows only environment.
As for the tools, most are based on Unix utilities, or GNU ones at least.
I like Linux better. That's all I have to say about that
Sorry the way that I said that made me sound about young. I'm trying to point out that this article might add some flesh to my argument, and that of several other/.ers, against those of the truly BITTER in that thread.
The original UNIX kernel was written in bell labs. The most direct descendant of this kernel is the UNIX system V kernel, which has been widely used since before I was born. The other true UNIX kernel is BSD (Berkely System Distribution), which was written based directly on the same kernel as System V is. There is the BSD compatibility package which allows for unification of BSD with the System V implementation. These 2 distributions are very compatible.
The free/open/net/etc BSD's run off of the BSD kernel.
UNIX untilities can be aquired from the gnu project, which is another operating system, which is UNIX compatible, but it is a CLONE operating system.
LINUX is another kernel, and another operating system as such, but can run all of these UNIX utilities, and is used compatibly with UNIX.
There are others too...
If we want to go back to UNIX's older cousins, we can get into MULTICS and other such operating systems.
When it gets right down to it. A UNICE is any operating system that uses these classical commands from the history of computer science. They are still in use because they make sense. They are quite simply, the most basic and most perfect way to run a computer, but UNIX is the kernel.
You know, I actually tried to explain that concept to a lot of people, and they all said that I was just trying to promote my religion, but yeah! We are on exactly the same wavelength. You explain that it doesn't make sense for anything to exist at all, but it doesn't make sense for it not to exist. It's kind of an interesting thought experiment.
One thing that people have got to admit... RA Server actually makes sense under Linux. Whereas, you sort of scratch your head for a minute using it under windows.
It is interesting how many physicists turn to religion of some sort, or at least write about it to some extent. A lot of people have a tendency to bash on them. Others don't actually read enough to know that they do;-) This argument is actually interesting and valid however. I hope that this doesn't turn into a lame religion bash, but rather actually helps to lend perspective to the article at hand.
For those who haven't seen SOME talk of religion in physics, please read Leon Lederman's book The God Particle in one chapter called, "The Whirling Moo-Shoo..." somethingerother, I forgot how he finishes it. He talks about how some physicists make some rather... silly... attempts at explaining eastern mysticism with physics.
Somehow, this just doesn't seem to work in the modern cinema. I don't think that the original work would stand up to our wonderfully dumbed down generation.
Goodness, US Robotics has just been kicked all over the business world in the past 5 years. They were an awfully nice company when they had some control over their own interests.
HDTV will be in widescreen format. Most DVD's are offered (sometimes exclusively) in widescreen format. You can get video tapes in widescreen format. Widescreen format has a specific aspect ration and all of that wonderful jazz. A lot of people are making the switch because the techniques used to fit movies onto television screens often hurt the quality of cinematic effects, make the scene harder to discern, or are almost nauseating with constant short distance panning and odd screen resizing.
The big push is mostly because of the switch to HDTV though, as I figure.

They must have charged them for labor... Like giving birth to each alpha or something.

I have the creative labs card. Trying out the driver tonight.
I did a college research paper on data encryption law last semester. I dunno if I can find it, but if you are interested, e-mail.

Yeah, score -1 Redundant for Cliff.
He's not saying that, he's saying that their implementation isn't as good. I tend to agree.
To still have the hold that it does on the world after this many years is an accomplishment that windows will not make.

Ok, for those who scoffed at my reply about Physicists and Religion. Example #2, found on slashdot. Food for thought. JonKatz seemed to thinks so :-)

The comeback of the Amiga would have a lot to offer the tech marketplace. I 1GHz Amiga would be crazy cool.

Yeah, I think that I might tune in for 5 mins to see this.
