RTFS(Read the fucking story!) You idiot. Judges can't just make up laws , they have to follow the laws as they stand. The current laws say that stuff that happens in public is public. The law needs to change. That's why the judge was pissed at the decision she made. She had no choice in the matter.
Yeah. It's a pretty whacky comment. Linux (A monolithic kernel) was never based on the minix kernel (A microkernel none-the-less), it was designed to be a replacement for it as the whole minix thing was encumbered by crappy academic copywrite.
Didn't.. erm.. Unitedlinux or sumfin' do just that. The clusterfuck of GPL cheat methods. Ie... SUUUURE It's GPL, but even if it aint... YOU CANT TELL ANYONE!. Ugh.......
Yeah. Mindyou, alot of MYSQL stuff I've done is backending Access (MYSQL -->storage. ACCESS-->Forms & queries & automation). Sometimes the combo is a pig as access is pretty fussy on keeping it's records distinct. Now granted putting an index number AND a timestamp is probly best practice anyhows, sometimes the troggs need a kick up the bum to realise that before hitting "Export" on access and turning the data into mysql, they should autonumber AND timestamp it.
Yeah. I agree with you there in many respects, although I assure you open-source is an absolute winner for support. There are MANY big support companies that support 24/7linux etc.
I don't think microsoft have incorporated linux in there own offerings? Perhaps you mean BSD code????
Mysql does however compete stunningly with MS-SQL, which IMHO is a ludicrous choice for big end of town DB installs.
Yeah. I here you there. The lack of good "views" on mysql has kinda shited me for some time. I like to be able to set up a multi-table query and be able to tell a web-bozo that "Just type in SELECT * FROM QUERYTABLE WHERE NAME='bozo'" into dreamweavermx. Unfortunately I have to supervise them in creating multitable queries that they never really understand. Even though siiimple SQL is child-play, not everyone *really* understands queries and how they hang together. Views help that.
And yeah. Comparing DB2 or ORACLE to MYSQL really isn't fair, as MYSQL is not designed to be a data-warehouse product. It may get there oneday, but it's real purpose in life is to be a simple focused shit-hot-fast database for whipping up cost effective app backends on low end systems. Like access on steroids (but without transactions and views) multiuser styles.
Sorry but it is true. You can get an MCSE with the purchase of most boxes of captain crunch. Now I will say a good windows sysadmin is as good as a good Unix sysadmin, the thing is a poor unix sysadmin wont last in the field.
Hmm... Dunno. I looked at the MSCE requirements, and it seemed pretty hard to me. Not my style of computing perhaps. Gimme critical thinking & a fat mathematical horror algorithm over remembering ten billion dialogue boxes anyday. But for what it's worth while alot of the MSCE guys are indeed as tarded as the rep suggests, you occasionally get the good uni-educated thinker that makes the horror that is NT much more bearable.
Sorry but I'm gagging uncontrollably at the thought of your saccharine love-fest. I am not here to protect *other* people's PCs from compromise, should I hold hands with other sysadmins and pray for the health of their machines while I'm at it? No. My machine isn't as secure as some but I try my best and check Red Carpet daily.
Hmmm.... Here folks is the problem at hand. (Ok.. good stuff checking for updates). *but* If you knowingly allow yourself to become part of an attack , then you DO have a responsibility for your own actions. I mean really, wasnt the idea of freedom always limited to 'up till anothers nose'(paraphrase).
If your email program goes bezerker and emails 10000 virus mails, it is YOUR fault if you don't stop it. If your unpached apache server causes 100 other guys unpached apache servers to become infected., it's YOUR fault for not stopping it. If your car kills someone because you don't give a fuck about your actions, it's also YOUR fault.
It incumbent upon everyone to do that little bit for security, because by the same token that you can fuck someone up from inaction, someone can fuck YOU up by there inaction. Think social contract. Rights REQUIRE responsibilities!
my one gripe about 7.3 was that it didn't start XDM/KDM/GDM automagically. (I love that word...) It was fixed in 8.0
Hmm.Personally I prefer installs that don't automatically turn on GDM on install. Particularly if you've seen those many distros that simply thrash and flip out in cycles if it doesn't work (I note that woody nails gdm if it doesnt come up after 5 tries... Last time I looked at redhat it still flipped out if the X setup was wrong.)
It's pretty easy to first tune X up and *then* set the default inittab level to x windows afterwoods
....Even if you don't like the way the package maintainer compiled the software, you have the option of rebuilding the package with the options you like....
Unless ofcourse you don't have GCC.... So the point's pretty moot hey? Particularly for smaller sites (Ie 99.999% of websites that probly max 10-50 hits an hour)
Although I suspect it's probly a bit more to it than that (cygwin probly WONT be usefull in porting kernel patches!) it'd be cool to have sumfin like Knopix running as a "CLICK ME!" exe on windows. That'd be spooky to be sure!
Ugh,..:/.. Sorry Tos Is(a) Tit -> TLA is not recursive (Ok Shayne.. time for another cofee.. brain go cookoo). Um... How about TIT -> TIT Is(a) TLA... There. That works.
Ok.. Now I'll get that cofee
Actually...yuo're wrong....If every country hates us, how come we have 3 MILLION third world immigrants pouring into our country a year?? How come no matter WHERE you go, the stores, the companies and the WELFARE lines are run by Indians, Pakistanis or Mexicans? I wish those countries WOULD hate us.....then the poor kid in the slums can actually get a job at a decent wage rather than competing with a Pakistani for $2 an hour....
I'm not saying everyone hates you. Maybe I needed to make that more clear. People are *frightened* of america. Not hate. The USA has a place in the heart , even for myself, but the govt fricking blows chunks. And over here in Aust, most Indians and Pakistani dudes tend to do pretty well for themselves. Most. Asia is on it's way up. I know here the old Australian fear of asians is fast disapearing (unfortunately displaced by fear of refugees:( and fear of middle eastern folk.) and the Indians and Pakistanis, perhaps being a former brit colony also tend to do well here.
I dunno what I'm really getting at other than that the US is not the greatest country in the world. Neither is Australia or Brittain, or any of them. It's earth. Thats the best country.
You're a former penal colony. Who cares what the genocidal, racist country of Australia thinks? Take care of the aborigines before you dare to type a single criticism of the world's greatest country.
Ok, let's get one thing straight. (1)Like america , Australia treats it's aboriginals like shit. I'm not proud of it, and I hope the fuck you aren't proud of your country ppreceeding over the genocide of the 200 nations. Secondly, FOR FUCK SAKE THE USA IS NOT THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. For instance many defence analysists have refered to the USA as , and I quote;- "The #1 threat to world peace in the world today". The USA is not loved. Get over it. It's tolerated, and only because everyones fucking scared of it. At the moment it's led by a psycopathic nutter who didn't get in on a popular vote, who has signed the death orders of hundreds of his fellow countryman and seems hell bent on Killing any country that disagrees with it. Actually dude I'll give you a hint;- most of the world is terrified of the US and believe the world is in big fucking danger, and that's not from terrorists, it's from the US.
If the USA's Middle East policies were the "cause" of 9-11, what is the cause of Islamic Terrorism in Kashmir, the former USSR, Malaysia, Indonesia, The Phillipines, Sudan, etc, etc, etc? The problem is ISLAMIC TERRORISM, not the USA defending the Jews that have lived in the Middle East since before there was any such thing as Islam.
Whatever...... Just because theres overwhelming evidence that the US fucked up by installing Sadam Husain & the Taliban into power, it's OK, because USA #1 USA #1
Remember, if it weren't for the USA and the USSR most of the world would be speaking either German or Japanese today.
Oh yeah.. by the way I actually like americans, I just get wild when they put my country down and try to tell the world they are less then them. And I apologise to any americans out there, it's not really the best day for these sort of arguments, but a spades a spade, and I gotta call it.

Yeaah, but the point was is bagging microsoft WAS his job *until* HP decided to get into bed with M$. Oh by the way and totally off topic;-.

By HP's statements it sounds like they now think that Linux is a passing fad.
No. It's just that they have a strong relationship with MS that bruce was fucking with. That's all. It's strange to imagine anyone thinking it's a fad when that fad just keeps getting BIGGER!

Ugh.......
As in VCC\Windows? Or perhaps Eula\Windows?
All seems a little pedantic to me. I call it GNU\Linux outa habit and sometimes just 'debian' , but it really doesn't faze me either way.

Which reminds me of a winning argument I used to actually convince a company to go linux rather than migrate some tired and aching old sunboxen to NT.
Linux feels like unix... Skills transfer beautifully.
As for DB's.. Yeah, you have a point. Even moving between MYSQL & Postgres can be a nightmare sometimes. Thatsaid, Mysql is simplicity incarnate.
Yeah. I agree with you there in many respects, although I assure you open-source is an absolute winner for support. There are MANY big support companies that support 24/7linux etc.
