Timing is everything... and oh look, RedHat's stock closed up today +24 3/32 to 167 27/32! Damn I guess the world is realizing it is the end of the M$ era.
Excellant. Competition between Linux vendors. Just makes that product ROCK that much more.
This is cool but i Need a tablet to go with (or without) it. Any suggestions? I want to run Linux on a Tablet or wearable, but it needs to have a reasonable display (prefer touch screen...). Networking will be teathered. Industrial applicaton... Thanks for any suggestions.
It is not over until the Judge says it is over. Given that: Microsoft is an illegal monopoly (and Bill Gates is a Monopolist) responsible for crimes against consumers and competitors they deserve to pay for their crime. The judge found them to be an "illegal monopoly" and for that they should (and shall) be punished. Swiftly and surely. How can I say this? Two quotes come to mind:
"Gates said, Intel could not count on Microsoft to support Intel's next generation of microprocessors as long as Intel was developing platform-level software that competed with windows."
AND
"Microsoft expends a significant portion of its monopoly power, which could otherwise be spent maximizing price, on imposing burdensome restrictions on its customers -- and in inducing them to behave in ways -- that augment and prolong that monopoly power."
This assumes identical geometries. So buy 2 drives instead of 1. Use it once a week or every night. This has saved my ass countless times. Every box I build gets a dupdrive script containing the dd command above and a spare drive.
M$ is a monopoly and Mr.Bill is a monopolist. Even the Judge says so. This is a typical M$ prank and it is the reason the Judge found M$ to be a monopoly. Nothing new here, and it will continue unabated until M$ is broken.
The nt4 service packs are trojan horses for M$ to use to break competing products. That is a FACT - just ask the judge or read it yourself in the FoF. This is a great example of why M$ should be inhibited from using any license for its products and their pricing should be Regulated and limited.
Fortunately for us open source advocates (slashdot readers/members) Linus was born and he spawned Linux.
I think I will watch a DVD tonight on my LinuxTV(tm).
Ameritech's rates are high. The system requirements also require a win95 machine.
Try looking at EarthCafe.com. They are linux friendly! I don't work for them, I am checking them out. I have an ISDN BRI (2B+D). It is just too slow now.
Does this run at 900Mhz or 2.4Ghz or something else? Now I think the portability of a mini browser would be very cool (i have the modem/browser for my pilot) but do we need the little radio transmitters in our face running all the time??? I know there are studies that refute the notion of cellular devices causing brain cancer... but who sponsored them? Seems like wired life is getting a bit out of control.
Sun also wants to sell Servers. If BeBoxen are used as graphics workstations for things like editing/designing frames for movies... Then Maybe Sun Servers could be used as renderfarms and large scale storage... *instead* of linux. Anyway, it doesn't hurt them to keep their doors open on that platform... Who knows - perhaps Sun will buy Be?
Ummm because they have KIDS. Kids can deal with video tapes no problem... but CDs and DVDs they tend to toss around like the frisbees that they are and scratch them. DVDs have much better error correction schemes in them than CDs but they also have a much greater density to destroy with the same scratch.
This is actually a fair use issue. I would like to make a copy of my Yellow Submarine DVD so the kids can watch it without destroying it. And no, I don't want to copy it to VHS. Even a 4 year old can notice the difference between VHS and DVD formats.
Seriously, he would get frustrated with the crashing, erratic behavior of applications and general lack of smoothness which is noticable when using the system.
I have several older relatives and the older they get the more important it is that things run smoothly - comfortably and predictably for them. They have a hard time with unexpected events like machines breaking for no apparent reason.
And yes, both my mother and mother-in-law run Linux. And they would not change given the choice now. (both are over 65) Mom used to run Windows and I used to get a phone call every other day asking to fix this or that... And they dig Tux;)
Yes they are giving up. They are using the games to familiarize themselves with the machines. Next they will start to port Excel, Word, Access, and whatever else they sell... it is their only chance for survival! It has been so long since I looked at M$ products that I am just not up to speed on their product line. Isn't life Grand!
The purpose of a commercial magazing (PCMag) is to bring a market to advertisers. Those advertisors pay Dvorak's salary and keep him in print. I wonder what the circulation of PCMagazine has done in the last say 18 months? Is there a trend that Mr. Dvorak is trying to reverse?
Has Mr. Dvorak ever tried to run a business using Windows (NT, 31, 311, WG, 95, 98 or any version in between)? Or for that matter using Sun/Solaris? + any commercial Db product? The behavior of the machines he is payed to promote is simply unacceptable in today's hectic world. And the license fees of the software running on them is just as bad especially considering the performance and quality issue.
The article was just flamebait. He needs the attention to keep his editors happy.
I disagree with you. Historically this site is here supporting Linux & OSS & other interesting technical and scientific bits. Recently - in the last 12 months - this has been overrun with the paid trolls from M$. That is a problem. Moderation is an attempt to rid this site of those (futile) trolls. And I am willing to assist in that worthwhile task.
I like Mandrake better. Better support. No Contract needed... I have installed Caldera 2.2. The installer is cool. I just burned Mandrake 6.1b with its new cool installer. But have not yet loaded it. Currently downloading Caldera 2.3 iso. I will try both and compare them... again.
The drive I was talking about, quoted and had Seen at Comdex-Spring was a Panasonic drive that was capable of multi-layer burns. Capable of duping a DVD Movie disk. And capable of burning a new DVD Movie. This is Not the same as the DVD-ram drives that are selling for under 1K. It was a bit out of my league so I didn't pursue it.
If you really need the model # or the vendor let me know why and I might dig them up for you. The vendor was in a both adjacent to the Linux Pavillion-(sp?).

Read the FoF!
Not raid at all but just an online backup:

Why that would be Peyote of course. Grows all over them ther desert hills and develups these tasty little buttons - sum call mezcal.

Correction: Sun makes decent Hardware. Their software sucks.
SunOS, Solaris user since '87
I believe it competes directly with Mondex. Check out: Smart Card Solutions

Hey Rob,
We won't let you drink alone.
I raise my glass with you

$ome reward for your work... Attaway baby. Good to see the American Dream alive and will in the Open Source world. What color will the 911/Vette be?
Cheers,

Life is good. And when multi-head works in XF86 we can cancel our license with XI. That would be XFree86 4.0? Anyway, then life will be GRAND!
