Thanks for the link, but I have seen it, as it is linked on the GnuCash site. Is there any reason why no one creates a Slackware package for GnuCash? Maybe get it added to Dropline or such, or even just make it available on linuxpackages.net?
Darl just claimed the court date for the IBM suit is April 2005. He also surmised that the Red Hat suit would follow several months later.
He also claimed that for the time being their license will be a one time license.
Even though no one will know the truth about their code until 2005, selling licenses will begin immediately. Darl apparently wants us all to bend over and take it because the price will increase after their October deadline.
Wine and the Crossover products don't require a windows partition. True some windows apps will function better with a windows partition, but those I've tried(games) have worked fine without a windows partition.

There is only a serious hardware limitation on the number of lines if you fail to understand how their hardware works and Asterisk works. By using a T400 card and a channel bank such as the TA 750 from ADTRAN or any other telecom equipment manufacturer you can have as many analog lines as you need, usually up to 24 per channel bank.
T1 => T400 Port1 => Asterisk => T400 Port2 => Channel Bank => Analog Phones
The users mailing list and archives are a great place to look for help with the problems you mentioned.
Disclosure: I work at ADTRAN and know the guys that write Asterisk.
According to Forrester Research, when personal-video-recorder (PVR) technology reaches 30 million households in 2006, 76% of advertisers say they'll cut their TV ad spending -- one quarter of them by more than 41%. Instead of buying TV ads, 65% plan to spend more on program sponsorship, 46% will increase budgets for product placement, and 36% say they'll rechannel their dollars to online advertising.
This quote is exactly what I want to see. A couple years ago, Schindler's List ran uninterrupted except for an intermission on TV and was sponsored by Ford. The only mention of Ford was a brought to you by Ford message and a logo suring the intermission and at the beginning and end. No, I didn't have to look up who sponsored Schindler's List, I actually remembered, thanks Ford. This is similar to what PBS does minus the telethon. I've actually watched who the sponsors are for some of the shows on PBS, simply because they have a relevant product or service that *gasp* I may actually be interested in.
I agree about enigmail. Hardly anyone I know uses gpg/pgp, but maybe with me signing my mail and having the enigmail.mozdev.org link in the comments will help encoursge people.
It's not that his house is huge, but that it's impregnated with chicken wire for the stucco. THis creates a huge gausian surface which kills the radio waves.
There's actually a huge difference between a Beowulf cluster and what openMosix is doing. In a Beowulf cluster, the tasks are actually parallelized, where as in openMosix it sounds like the process is simply moved to the node that will complete it the fastest dynamically on the fly. For more info on Beowulf Clusters visit the Parallel Architecture Laboratory.
He may be right about slashdotting their conference call. I called the number and there was no record of the conference call with the hosting company. Go figure.
I think what they mean are those portable car battery jumpers advertised as an emergency power source for jump starting your car or for power on a camping trip. I really don't want to meet the person going camping with one of those.
I think my biggest problem with computer books is the time factor. Most of them are out of date by the time they hit the presses. I think we need to be recommending books and how-tos that focus on the unchanging fundamentals. By learning the fundamentals, one can approach every linux problem with a basic toobox and have some kind of clue.

While this is a bit OT, pharmaceutical companies use this strategy all of the time.
Little dynamic companies innovate a product but have little experience bringing it to market.
They sellout to larger companies with that experience.

--Edited to replace image texts with text-- Brendanland by Brendan Reville
imagine a napster-style network where you just walk & talk.... a massive universe where you create your own land.. it's here!
::the world's first peer2peer application in which each person serves their own piece of geography in a larger world::
introduction BrendanLand is an online universe where you walk & talk. 1. Just download the BrendanLand program for Windows. Install it. Begin it. 2. First, edit your own little world... plant trees, place rocks and arrange grass. Make it a cool little place! 3. Then, connect to BrendanLand. Walk around. All of a sudden, people can walk into your little land, and you can walk to the lands of everybody else.
Everybody serves their own little piece of the BrendanLand universe. You can roam this interconnected universe and chat to people. It's that simple!
download Just email Brendan(brendan@brendanland.com) and he'll tell you where to download the software. (This is being done so that we can manage the size of the community.)
This program requires Windows 95, 98, 2000 or XP, with DirectX 8 or later. If the BrendanLand program tells you that DirectX is required, you can download DirectX.
news Tuesday 11 June 2002 First edition released. Known bugs, but hey, it's fun when it works! Saturday 24 February 2001 Client and server software is currently under development.
the BrendanLand experience...
When you first start BrendanLand, you can create your own little land, placing tiles and objects.
Give your land a name as well.
Once you've saved your land, you can begin your client. Choose your avatar, and then connect to the Master Server. The Master Server will send you off to visit the central land. If you're the first person on the network, this will be your own land. Walk around and admire the Programmer Artwork(TM). Now, just imagine that - at the same time - your friend on the other side of the world has created her own land.
... Now you should walk completely off the edge of your own land. There will be a pause, and then, like magic, the Master Server will send you off to your next destination.
And hooray, all of a sudden you're on your friend's land, served all the way from the other side of the world!
Now your friend connects to the Master Server too, and like magic, you're both in your friend's land. Try chatting to each other! Walk around while you chat. You can even play a game of tag!
You can both walk off the edge of this land and end up somewhere else. Maybe you'll end up back in your own land, or maybe in some other person's land. So long as people are connected to the BrendanLand network, there will be new lands to visit.
The Master Server manages the layout of all these interconnected lands.
That's about it. It's this easy. (When it's working, that is!)
Since no one seems to be discussing the MITRE paper, I guess I'll opin.
The MITRE paper takes a fair look at the business reasons for using OSS. By fair I mean that they don't simply extol the vertues of OSS, but look at the down sides as well. Yes there are some from the business viewpoint. They especially look at what makes it optimal for servers and the military. In the executive summary, they provide pretty pictures easily interpretable by pointy haired bosses every where as good hard data on why they should use OSS. I suggest that every one read at east the first 25 pages(the executive summary) while the business persons among us might gain something might get more details by reading the detailed business case portion of the pdf.

Hear hear! Right on. I used to use GnuCash with Slack 8.1, but it's too big a pain with Gnome2.
I listened to the conference call and that's what Darl said. Disclaimer: I did not check court documents to corroborate this.
Darl just claimed the court date for the IBM suit is April 2005. He also surmised that the Red Hat suit would follow several months later.
He also claimed that for the time being their license will be a one time license.
Even though no one will know the truth about their code until 2005, selling licenses will begin immediately. Darl apparently wants us all to bend over and take it because the price will increase after their October deadline.
