This happened to me over a several month period of trying to cancel my dialup account with Sprynet. I ended up breaking the chain by deleting the connection info from the computer, so I wouldn't keep making that mistake. It really pissed me off that they were charging full price for each month when there was total usage of less than 30 seconds each month.

This goes against one of my personal rules: Don't give free consulting to companies.
That's probably my problem... Every company I've talked to wants university degrees and 3 years experience. Open source and hobby programming apparently doesn't mean anything. Also my current job is not too bad, so I'm not looking to aggressivly.;-)
There are lots of great textbooks on beginning UNIX, they don't have to be Linux specific. But when I taught a Linux class at a local trade school, I put together my own documentation. You can also visit The Linux Documentation Project where they have lots of guides and How-to's which most (if not all) are GPL'd and free to use.
I left Canada cause the major employers were all gung ho to send all the jobs away
Just curious, are you still in the states? How is it going down there? I'm a Canadian working in Canada.. I'm currently doing desktop support with a little programming, and not having much luck finding a full time programming job here in Toronto.
But it's in Sun's best interest to pave a smooth superhighway upgrade path from Linux to Solaris for users that grow beyond their x86 hardware
Well said, I think this is the reasoning behind the move. Let "newbies" migrate their servers from Windows to Linux (hey, it's cheap), then once they outgrow their x86 box it will be easy to move to Sun hardware without porting their business application or whatever it is their running. Brilliant idea! I guess Sun realises it is better to have people using Linux than Windows, since they are more likely to move to Sun from Linux than they are from Windows. Linux makes a good intermediate step.
I'm sure Sun's lawyers have been over this with a fine tooth comb, but if they integrate GPL code fron Linux into their OS, doesn't that mean they have to release the source for their whole kernel? Or is it just libraries?
Whoa. Easy big fella. It's been well documented that countries like Canada, Sweden and Finland (to name a few) have more Internet usage per capita than the US.
Me too... I've always been in the habit of washing my hands after working on someone's pc. A lot of people's keyboards feel greasy or sticky, which is mildly disgusting. I always though I was a little weird with all the hand washing, but this article proves me right! Sweet vindication!
Google has made web site addresses and TLD's totally obsolete. Typing a few keywords into google is much more reliable than trying to guess or remember a site's URL.
I'm not a Notes administrator, but that sounds like a config issue. I can send an email from a web e-mail account to my Notes account and it will be there in a few seconds, same for outgoing mail.
We use Lotus Notes, it's great. It has all the groupware functions your users will demand, such as calendar, appointments, to-do list, disscusion threads, etc. It has pretty good security, and is very reliable. I was mortified when our parent company told us we had to switch to Outlook. Fortunately we were able to convince them to allow us to keep Lotus Notes.
It's been done.. Cygwin is a port of all the GNU tools, including bash, the c compiler, even XFree86. The setup program is easier to use than dselect, it handles dependencies and everything. It's truly an amazing piece of software that I can't live without on Windows, it's the first thing I install on my Windows machines.
However, I think the article is about native Windows software which happens to be free rather than porting free unix software to windows.

But can an MCSE help with the 12 hour time difference?
I would use it just so I could tell my friends I'm on LSD!
Oh yeah?? Well look at *my* setup:

So you would be willing to lick my toilet seat to prove your statement?
Yeah, and that's not including the porn!

According to who, Americans?
No problem, just blame the crash on the library developers and kernel hackers.
And I'd bet money that some idiot got hurt doing exactly that.
Yes, if you don't buy Red Hat, the terrorists have won.
