You are forgetting that there is a big difference between logging everything and actually showing up at your house. They might have power but they usually need a reason to actually take action.
Windows: Press CTRL+ALT+DEL, type your username (if not filled in automaticly) and type your password.
Linux: Type your username (if not filled in automaticly) and type your password.
Training: 10 seconds: 'This is the new login screen'
Windows: Click on some world or web or 'e' icon to get internet explorer, use urls, home, back and forward buttons.
Linux: Click on soome world or web or wathever icon to get an Firefox window, use urls, home, back and forward buttons.
Training: 20 seconds: 'Click on this icon instead of the old one (the one that says INTERNET), further browsing is the same.'
Windows: Click on the word icon and type your text, click on the excel icon and fill your sheet.
Linux: Click on the swriter icon and type your text. Click on the scalc icon and fill your sheet.
Training: again pointing out the new icons.
We just covered the training for 90% of all desktop users. They simply don't know or need more. It gets interesting when you get to the artists or the real power users but they are generally a minority or have enough brains to figure most out themselves.
Further you can swap fileservers, dns, proxies, printservers and webservers in you company wihtout this 90% even noticing. For this 90% training is mostly comforting them to make sure they don't panic when they hear something is going to change.
Every time a crew is changed (roughly once every six months). The soyouz of the new crew stays up and the old crew use the capsule that has been hanging there for half a year.
Like I said before: name the thing you are measuring.... What was slower? Did it take longer to hit the floor when you dropped it? Did you drop X, or did you drop X+KDE+GNOME+OOo+JVM?
Ofcourse windows responds faster: you get a connection refused immediatly when trying to connect to port 6000.....
In reality I have seen X respond very well on systems were windows wouldn't fit even if you used a sledgehammer. On what kind of setup is your experience based? Are you sure it was really X that was slow or the tookit you used?
The first Astra satelites were at 19 degrees east, there were several on satelites close to eachother so you could receive them with one dish. At 37000KM you can move around a lot without having to adjust a 60cm dish on earth.
Don't know how many they have at 28.2East but I think there are several there to (or atleast planned)
Obviously doing things like this is wrong.... However it was done very nice, on first sight nothing wrong untill you notice that the text in the image is just a little bit strange....
Unfortunatly large medicine producing companies don't agree with you.... In the current system your illness isn't likely to be cured soon unless there is a significant market for the cure. Add to that the moron that came up with the idea to allow genes to be patented and you get a nice world to live in.
If only a few governments (rich & developped) would have the guts to make cheap drugs and good research possible without wanting profits. (There will be profits ofcourse, but not in a monetairy sense)
I think most people (the article submitter included) still can't distinguish between drivers for the nforce chipset and the graphics drivers. They just hear 'NVIDIA' and start screaming....
So basicly the big bully (US) is complaining that it is unfair that they get punished (for being a bully) while some of the other kids are being allowed to be a little bit more assertive (but not even near the behaviour of the bully)?
I was talking about the old BSD license with advertising clause which covered more than just execution: 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
must display the following acknowledgement:
This product includes software developed by the University of
California, Berkeley and its contributors.
Its a bit like the BSD with advertising license... (Although only in source & object code so not on boxes or ads and stuff, but even object code is already a problem) It seems reasonable at first (Just one line saying 'thank you Yahoo') but it has the same problem as the BSD license had: You end up with an ever growing amount of lines of all kind of people wanting the world to know you used a pieco of their 'IP'.
Imagine a helloworld program like this: ~$hello Hello world This program was compiled using the GNU C compiler,Copyright The Free software foundation, Richard Stallman, etc This program uses header files written by Linus Torvalds. This program was linked against the GNU C library This program was written in the C language which contains IP from K&R. This program uses SCO owned IP.
Would it be a great world if all software was like this?
You are right, but that doesn't make RH completly like UL. I didn't put it in my post but the original idea behind UL was to make a strong RH competitor. In that perspective debian comes closer....
One of the bad things about companies choosing RH exclusivly is that they asume RH==Linux and anybody who dares to put its files a little different or use a different library version is in for a surprise. (When are big software vendors going to learn not to link to a specific sub-sub-version of a library instead of just a major version?)
If there were two big guys (RH & UL or RH & debian) vendors would be forced to take possible differences in account. The result will be better and more flexible software.

Especially since the new seconds will closely match the old ones (0.864 old seconds)

Especially since this calendar starts on a sunday..... Try getting that accepted....

What if something serious happened up there?
In that case they would come down....
They do have an escape soyouz capsule.
Jeroen
What is a 'sentance'?
Those who just said 'nay' indeed were.
It were the once that also added a 'because' that changed our views.

But is was not because of the 'superior linux support' from nvidia. Look up why the name of the lancard driver was choosen.

Since both are pointers it is the same as the IsNot thingy.
Unless field_name is a pointer your SQL example is wrong though.

A lot of distros are (and will be) based on debian. So in a way it already is the common base UL was supposed to be.
I think Staticly compiled binaries are the way to go!
Great, a 1.5MB hello world.....
