One of the causes of ppl losing their fingerprints is cancer treatment. I am facing a bone marrow transplant/stem-cell transplant and one of the possible side effects is losing my fingerprints. I am not sure if this is directly from the transplant, or something from the strong chemotherapy I will endure before/during the transplant procedure. Along with my blood DNA being different from the cheek swab test, I will be a walking "CSI episode waiting to happen". Maybe I will just get some stick on fingerprints like in "Gone in 60 seconds". Elvis Lives!
Due to how badly Gibson's big screen adaptation of Johnny Mnemonic butchered the original story, I am worried this too will tarnish my memories of William Gibson's works. Some stories are better off not being made into movies at all versus being made into a bad movie.
While we are at it, lets ruin a few other cyberpunk classics such as Snowcrash by Stephenson and Software/Wetware from Rudy Rucker.
Just a heads up. The North Texas Snort Users Group is being revived. I have nothing to do with it, but heard about it at the North Texas Linux Users Group (NTLUG) meeting.
Let me guess, Abilene, Texas? I was living there when Clearwire came in and Pegasus started pushing the Xanadoo. I found the Clearwire network to be needlessly messy for someone who was a supposed leader in wireless technology. DNS was slow, and the reverse DNS would cause putty sessions to time out when connecting. My signal level would bounce from 4 bars down to 1 bar (which was unusable). I wanted to try the Xanadoo service, but moved from the area before I had a chance.
On the positive of Clearwire's service, I used the connection inside the civic center during the Key City hamfest and it worked great there and the portability made it possible for us to have any net connection.
I second that. While at Ohio Linux Fest this weekend I was lucky enough to attend Ted Haeger's talk on "Desktop Innovation at Novell". I am excited about Linux on the desktop again. I already use Linux as my desktop OS, but it just seemed kinda blah until seeing Ted's presentation. The work that Novell is putting into SLED and openSUSE is really cool, and they are giving back to the community at the same time (beagle and f-spot for example). While Ubuntu is nice, don't count Novell out when it comes to desktop linux.
And you have what to back up your statements? Come on, if you're gonna give the guy hell about editing his own bio, have some proof to your claims of what he is covering up.
If you dont want to figure out what is missing with the VMware offering, Parallels is offering 60 day trial licenses for its Parallels Workstation 2.0 Beta3. Check out www.parallels.com
Disclaimer: i have no affiliation to Parallels, I have just been trying out the product.
If he looks at BSD internals, anything he comes up with relation to those internals might be considered derivative works and would need to be BSD licensed. That might not work well for the Linux kernel.
This is the reason FOSS developers were told not to look at the leaked MS source that was floating around.
Because we all know the competition could never go out and buy the product and get the driver from the included CD, or just download it from the manufacturer's site.
The consumer might as well be considered enemy hands.
MD5 Checksums...ever heard of them? At the of server rate compromises (debian/gnu for example), you should be checking these when you download something from the official distribution site.
Its not that hard to imagine a PHB that trusts outside sources more than its own internal staff. I have been there. Just because someone comes from company with a neat name, they are considered more skilled than the internal staff. "They do this for a living, so they must know what they are talking about". Uhm, doesn't the internal network staff do it for a living also?
I once worked in an office where i was second guessed daily, but a recommendation from an outside source was implemented with out even being thought through.
One example. We had a CCIE candidate come in to help out with some router work once. I am self-taught on Cisco equipment, so i welcomed someone to look over my configs and give me some tips. The guy was nice, but didn't understand working in a production environment, so instead a smooth change, he pissed off quite a bit of ppl. I later went back and cleaned up his IP allocation for a link and reclaimed about 126 IPs (which we paid for). While the outside guy had more certs than I did, I knew a better solution for our situation
But the government is funded with my tax dollars...to compete against me? No, thats a bad plan. Most ISPs already have one "powerful contestant", the ILEC, aka the local fone company. There are alot of things that the government helps ppl with, such a education and medical benefits, but why waste tax dollars providing something that the private sector is already doing? Maybe the reason there isn't a huge pipe in these cities is because there isn't enough need to drive the market to offer these services. Sure cheap bandwidth is great, but in the long run if there is no motivation for private companies to innovate and bring new services to a market, stagnation will occur in my opinion.
The first ppl to get the "cure" would be just beta testing. Thats okay, they will release a patch in a month...wait, how do you patch a dead person?
BTW: the pharmactical/medical industry doesn't make money curing disease, instead they treat the symptoms. You don't see the new cures very often, but they are always trying to get more meds on the market to "treat" things. That starts making MS an easy fit...

ATT has already bought and sold Texas, so hope you are somewhere else.

Quickbooks now has web based Qucikbooks Online, which with IE4Linux, you can access.
This is the solution I found for my business.

No, i just put the install CDs in my stereo and give it a listen.

So Netcraft confirms that punk is dead? Does that mean punk and BSD go together?
So if BSD is dying and punk is dead...that explains why I like both...they have a lot in common.

I agree, instead of wifi, I want a flushing toilet at every rest stop instead of just some picnic benches.
BTW: i know the one you are talking about and it is even nicer than some between Vanhorn and Dallas.
Thats one fast RV. I thought 110mph in a Winnebago was fast, but this beats that hand down.

Just think, if it was about "upgrading" windows boxes to Linux it would not be considered flamebait. It would be applauded by the slashdot sheep.
Gee, could it be that we have some double standards...naah, couldn't be that....

yeah, we all know that MS has never had its credentials swiped.
