Think they can administer a network of 10 computers in a classroom?
Really, In think Linux would be a helluva challenge in education, for example.
Yes, I do. http://www.skolelinux.no (should appear in English if your browser gives that as your preference) Teachers report that now they can go back to teaching and use far less time maintaining the computers and the network.
The SLX project is about file/print servers and terminal servers, with selected educational programs - and using LTSP thin clients. "It just works."
Look - the sender pays for the paper junk mail, right?
All you have to do is shovel it out - my trash can is right next to the mailbox - or put in the stove in winter, where it does most good.
BUT - YOU AND I pay for most of the costs of junk E-mail.
We pay our ISPs for the bigger disks and fatter connections they need to keep up with the flood of garbage, and that's just one of the many costs.
Spam is Theft. I'm getting a new e-mail address with an ISP that uses block lists - the only way to keep the mucking forons out of the mail system is to lock them out and not let them in in the first place.
In the US alone, there are close to 23 million businesses that advertize. Suppose they sent you one ADV message a year? You work out the math.
Oh for crying out loud - If this is the Liu Die Yu six-step attack, it's using holes that were reported up to TWO YEARS AGO!!
What's been done now is simply to prove to Microsoft that when security researchers report a weakness, they'd better READ THE REPORT and act on it. I have acted, I am using Windows at work when I'm paid to, but use IE strictly on intranet sites that don't work with anything else
I really shouldn't feed a troll, but: There are several others ready to carry on. Alan Cox comes to mind - and all of the lieutenants who screen contributions before Linus gets the final word. You don't think the source code to the kernel is only encrypted in a hidden directory on Linus' home system, do you?
Really? Explain what user "rights" that the DRM takes away.
Correct me if I'm wrong - but ISTM that I'm okay if I boot my computer from the old Win98 disk to view a DVD movie, but if I boot Linux on the exact same computer and watch the same movie, *zap* - I'm a criminal.
The name UNIX was originally a pun on MULTICS, which I believe was the first attempt to write a multi-user operating system with good security built-in. I guess some of it must have rubbed off on UNIX:-)
The phrase " Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes." seems to be Latin.
Well, Publius Vergilius Maro, a Roman citizen, wrote in Latin - although of course, as a man of culture he probably understood Greek, too. ( and no, I don't understand either language... )
Both Korean and Japanese have two number series - one native, one based on Chinese. The Chinese words are the shortest:-)
A Korean would pronounce the Chinese numbers il, ee, sam, sa, o etc - and they can of course be written using Korean letters, just like you can write " three point one four" instead of 3.14 - and also in "ideograms"!
Ask a Japanese speaker to explain "the samurai bows to the west" - sounds very un-samurai, but there is a story about numbers behind it:-):-)

To us who actually live here, Scandinavia consists of the three countries Denmark, Norway and Sweden - in alphabetical sequence. Include Finland and Iceland, and you get Norden. I believe that quite soon Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia may also be included... Fennoskandia or Fennoscandia is used in geology and the life sciences.
I don't know where Greenland belongs - a home rule government under Danish sovereignty and geographically a part of North America:-):-)

Can't answer to your other points - AutoCAD was originally developed on Unix and used to run on AIX, SunOS and HP-UX. The Unix versions were always priced way beyond the Windows version, as were the workstations. Now thhat there are Unixes running on cheaper hardware, there might again be a demand for AutoCAD under Unix. In the meantime, there's been attempts to develop alternatives, but they seem to have fizzled.
Anyway: As Linux and *BSD spread out, demand for these specialized applications will rise and the suppliers will react to the demand. It already happened in the database sector.

I could understand the withdrawal of funds - their money, their rules - but when they start leaning on universities they are going too far.
The Supreme Court refuses most request for appeals, and the next level down usually only hear complaints about procedure or application of law and usually put substantial weight on the evidence and findings of the lower court.
In this particular case the proceedings of the lower court (the Tingrett) were audiotaped - I don't know whether the video feed into the press room was also taped.
The verdict (in Norwegian) says quite clearly that Johansen had done almost exactly what the prosecution claimed he had - but that this was not a crime according to Norwegian law. I have big problems seeing how the appeals court (lagmannsretten) could twist the law to make it a crime. On the other hand, it's a jury court, and if the prosecution experts can manage to brainwash the lay people on the bench...
I've noticed that Linus Torvalds consistently misspells "scenario" as "schenario". In no way does that indicate to me that he is any sort of moron.
He's probably associating it with "schedule". English is, after all, his third language. I wish I mastered my third language as well as he does English...
Uh - my point is that 100% of spam is just plain criminal. That is, according to the laws where I live. If the 23 states of the US that have outlawed spam actually enforced those laws, maybe a small dent in the flow could be seen. Then again, spammers would just move their operations elsewhere. Ralsky is mostly spamming from.cn these days, isn't he?
Free speech? Okay - let them have an ISP that lets them spam all they want. Exellent - everyone can block that ISP off and forget them. Free speech does not compel anyone to listen, does it?
I do shovel snow outside my house, actually, I just take exception to the neighbour dumping his snow on my property. Especially when the temperature is below -15 C:-)

A: Seek professional help.
