Are you missing tags in there? I hope Microsoft gets the shit kicked out of em. Microsoft owns the world because of the populace's complacency with mediocrity and monopoly. And I for one love to see any instance of Microsoft losing in the business world. Not as satisfying as Bill taking a pie to the face though.
Its not the code that anyone gives a flip about. Its the "intellectual property", or more generally the threat that intellectual property poses to open source projects.
The catch is they'll get the contracts signed, and they will release the schemas for the future versions of Word Documents, but after this revision they'll probably rename Word to something else to get out of their obligation.
Thats funny. I went into OpenOffice not expecting it to not be the same. And instead of just continuously bitching about how I couldn't find the options in the same place as MSWord, I read a little documentation. An hour later I was a pro. Its not that hard, but yes you do have to learn it. Its a new interface.
Or maybe retooling actually takes time, and they are in the progress of retooling. IBM is a very large company. The fact that they have not migrated 100% to Linux yet does not surprise me at all. I think they just gave a grossly overzealous estimate of when they could have this done.
I use gentoo in a corporate environment on servers, and it works quite nicely. I don't believe automated installs are what Gentoo need. What you need to do is create a base system for each particular class of machine on your system (http,imap,dns,kerberos,etc.), and then create an image of it (either on a server or a CD), and script the partition setup, image copy, and tweak a couple configs.
Well, nothing wrong with graphical by any means. Just make sure it is easily determined how to get to the text mode install, like make it a GRUB option or something.
Well, here are my reasons:
1) You don't need GUI elements for an installer
2) ncurses based UIs are just as effective
3) Linux boot CDs are notorious for not running under an acceptable refresh rate on LCDs
4) You don't always have an X driver for your video card on the distro CD
And now, Linux has taken this effect initially created by Microsoft, and actually applied it to Microsoft. Now Microsoft has to sell at a lower price to stay competetive. But its pretty hard to stay more competetive than free.
By the way if you really were trying to have an intelligent conversation, maybe you should respond to my individual points instead of just telling me that I don't understand you're ambiguously constructed reply with multi paragraph quote which in my oppinion just reinforces my oppinion. Tell me what do I not get. Dumb it down if you want. Prove to me you aren't just trolling, because thats what it looks like you are doing.
Using our available methods of observation, in any possible time now or in the future, the existence of a metauniverse cannot be proven or disproven in any case. Existence itself is only a theory. You might prove certain axioms of certain organized religions just don't work, but you could almost certainly never prove that a particular axiom was present in the religion to begin with and not injected into it, either forcefully or as a byproduct of generational passage.
Well, if you're trying to tell me you are a short tempered, small minded, fool then message conveyed there bud. Don't you have some network you should be securing? Or is the Navy paying you to establish a secure connection to slashdot?
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly why do you think it is flawed?
Yeah, and this is done quite simply with the NTP daemon.
I've been playing with SVG in linux for the last couple of weeks. And I came across a couple of fun relevant projects:
Gnome: supports scalable SVG icons, fun!!!
Inkscape: is an open source SVG editor that has recently added Text-on-a-Path to its feature list
librsvg: lib for adding SVG support to apps. Also, has a command line SVG rasterizer (although inkscape can do that also)

How about 1 year. 10 years the technology is irrelevant and the competition has been squashed.
Firebird is case sensitive on any platform.
Only because people don't know about Firebird.

Also, why wouldn't they just get hosted in Iran if its such a big deal.
I didn't want to mess it up so I found a website with the script on it. But then again they could've written it down wrong.

I solved it, it really says:

Holy Grail in the Castle of uuggggggh"
Mod this man to the top!!!
Mummies that suck the souls out of elderly people in a nursing home through their assholes.

I wondered why you were still on here.

Thats like Hitler knowing he was a jew.
