...when those who generalize about the egregious conflicts of interest in today's incestuous corporate-controlled government are torn down and ridiculed as conspiracy "theorists" for no good reason.
It has turned into an anti-populist, anti-democratic bias and left average people standing still while we are force-fed LIES and (gasp!) conspiracy theories dressed-up as intelligence and foreign policy: Iraq's WMD, Cuba's "bioweapons", etc. etc. The (frightened) wealthy WASPS conspiracy theories are myriad and oh-so-credible when they come to us over the cable news.
Meanwhile plausible and actual threats like N. Korea and Al-Queda are left to fester.
FWIW, those words you quoted are as accurate as any, and they point out the current despotic tendencies in corporate America; Conspiracy theories may or may not apply, but with the way we're headed I don't give a damn about their *intentions* when the results are so awful. People are waking up, and they're tuning-out the rhetoric and labeling being used to divide and dismiss them out of hand. It's time to put corporations under the microscope and start to divide THEM.
Having computers and now genetic engineering shoved down many people's throats is making high-tech (and by extension, science) very unappealing.
And it's all done nowadays with a very unapologetic and crooked corporate centrism, which is taking-over research at universities. Learning and discovery are now to serve the corporate bottom-line and nothing else. As exploitation shifts into hyper-drive, people see little hope from science for the things they want: belonging, purpose, a healthy and natural environment, not to mention privacy and freedom.
Oddly, the world of fantasy and magic are becoming our preferred expression of human hope. This change is at the same time encouraging, and also rather sad.
Seems obvious to me they were trying to get SuSE to cooperate with a Windows domain controller.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Xandros File Manager, which allows your Linux system to join a Windows domain and thus resolve the problems described in the article.
And it has great (context-sensitive) documentation.
That, combined with their affinity for APT, and they might have issued a score of 9 if the distro were Xandros.
...of needless difficulty (installing) and convenience (apt).
The easiest package manager has for years been out of reach to middling techies who want to make the jump from Windows, because Debian is too hard to install.
OTOH, Debian makes a great base for distros that are actually user-oriented: Xandros, Lindows, ELx, Libranet, Knoppix, etc.
(Note: The highest-scoring vehicle was entered as a prototype, because it is a 1996 Passat which is no longer in production. The Passat was unmodified.)
Largest Sustainable Transportation Event Showcases Successes of Alternative Fuel Vehicles
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. â" Two winners of the Tour De Sol, a contest billed as the largest sustainable transportation event in the world, were fueled by American-made biodiesel â" a cleaner burning fuel made from renewable fats or vegetable oils such as soybean oil.
Sponsored by the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association since it began 1989, the Tour de Sol is designed to highlight environmentally friendly vehicles that decrease petroleum use and therefore reduce pollution and improve public health. This year, the Tour De Solâ(TM)s three festivals, open house, and road-rally competition were held in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC during National Transportation Week, May 10-14. For the first time, this yearâ(TM)s Tour de Sol road-rally competition was open to all "green" vehicles â" including alternative fuel vehicles. There were 21 categories for production and prototype vehicles including battery-electric, hybrid-electric, solar electric and conventional internal combustion engine vehicles or fuel cells using alternative fuels. The winners were honored for the greenest vehicles with good practical applications.
Hydrogen fuel cells are an interesting 'idea' worthy of research, but it's 2003 and they still can't hold a candle to biofuel (renewable hydrocarbons). Europe is moving toward biodiesel in a big way. Here are some H2 / biodiesel comparisons:
And not least, biodiesel cars throttle the competition!
Biodiesel Fuels Tour de Sol Winners
This is a fuel that I run in my 2001 VW today, is close to carbon-neutral, is truly renewable, and the diesel engine will likely last 300,000 mi or more with a timing belt change every 60,000 (2003 models last 100K between changes). The environmental impact (lack of) from these cars' low maintenance, simplicity and long life alone totally outclasses H2 cars along with their required monster-infrastructure.
I can easily get 700 mi on a tank while the best H2 designs can barely manage 180. What's more, I can use this TDI/biodisel combo for the next 20 years and probably still embarrass the 2023 H2 wondercar. The car that won the Tour de Sol was an unmodified midsize Passat with over 250,000 mi. on the odometer.
No, it's not a futuristic-sounding fuel cell, or a novel Stirling engine, has no Star Trek tie-in, uses green not blue solar panels (leaves), and may never get a Slashdot article for these reasons. But diesels and biodiesel fuel are exceptionally efficient, increasingly high-tech and getting moreso. Looking at the physical extremes in this new generation of 'clean diesels' I'd say the technology aspect is surpassing gas engines. Less complex, but higher-tech.
I wonder how H2 cars will look compared to a 99MPG Volkswagen Lupo (on sale in Europe)? VW did a round the world in 80 days promo tour with this vehicle, running on 100% biodiesel, and it wasn't even news when it came through the US. So maybe it won't be compared here at all. But that is not stopping a growing number of individuals, bus and truck fleets from running biodiesel.
MS is saying that Apple has access to OSX innards, hoping this will be construed that Apple is USING hidden features. (See! We're not the only ones doing the product-typing, hidden-API thing!) Of course, having access to and using are two different things, and many people don't know that both OSX and Safari are based on open source.
It's disinformation. The subject still makes MS nervous because MS Office has hidden API issues and that could mean more anti-trust problems.
This message also seems to say that the browser belongs in the OS, and that's why Netscape lost.
Instead of carrying around an ultra-expensive fuel cell outfit, try this instead:
1) Get a small AA or AAA battery pack with the same voltage rating and power connector as your phone
2) Fill it with Titanium-Alkaline or Lithium photo cells (very high-capacity compared to recharables)
3) Keep this on hand for backup power just like you would the tech-fetishist hydrogen tank. If after 6-36 months you run low on backup power, just buy more batteries at any nearby store that sells cameras, etc. If you noramlly keep your internal battery charged, then the external cells could last you for years!
Savvy people have done this with camcorders, phones , PDAs and even laptops for years. You can even get AA/AAA packs shaped like the mfg.'s rechargable units that fit right onto your device.
..and its shitty fonts have been the bane of Linux existence since I can remember. RedHat and the other distros should have fired them a long time ago.

It sure lowered mine.

(Sorry, just had... to... say... it... APT...)
Now they need to figure out why...
My guess is that people are using Mozilla to get a handle on pop-ups.

I got it for $39 from their website.
The file explorer alone is worth that cost, not to mention support for Windows network resources than can actually be called modern!
Likely scenario:
1. Download foo RPM and install
1a. Wrangle with dependencies for RPM
1b. Finish install
2. Where's the ICON?
Hello?
3. Sit back with an icecoffee and realize this is the tip of the iceberg.
This has more to do with the intelligence of distribution authors than the users.
I've often wondered what IDEO was.

Also, the cobination of SoDA, Rose and Requisite Pro offer a lot of options for manipulating requirements and code documentation.

(If this seems like an ad... I work work for IBM Rational.)
No. They just happen to not own any broadband infrastructure at the moment.
The mentioned companies will acquire broadband infrastructure, and two years from now will be lobbying for the opposite goal.
