I run my own mail server, so am I a ISP? Can I sue these bastards for using my bandwith sending me unsolicited crap. What is the definition of ISP in reguards the the can spam act?
If you buy a linux box from hp when you get it you get a box with freedos loaded on it. You get a set of linux installation disks. Now the fist time I got one of these I wondered why bother even putting free dos on it? Well it did not take me long to figure it out. Their MS contract probably does not allow them to sell a box without a os on it. The quick way to get around that deal and not have to actually provide support is to load freedos and ship it out the door.
Mr Clippy pops up on the screen and asks "would you like me to adjust the trim settings for you?"
Seriously I would never buy a controller of any sort with windows on it. I work in a manufacturing facility and we constantly have machines down for weeks because some Win CE device is infected with a worm, blue screen of death or whatever.
I work in a shop that is mixed windows and linux but just a few linux boxes are doing all of the heavy lifting. We keep adding processing to these couple of linux boxes until they absolutely beg for mercy. On the other hand we have a ton of windows boxes that mostly sit idle because the OS is not partitioned enough to handle that type of load and still be reliable.
So 25% means in most cases at least 50% of the data center processing will be linux.
Being that I worked on JOTS, JOTSII and GCCS why on earth is it not a good linux fit. Both of those systems where based initially on HPUX and a natural move would be to linux. Also GCCS was never and I mean never hooked to the internet and I doubt it is today for very obvious reasons. As a matter of fact I was working with JOTS way back when it was programmed in basic.
Wow I see a ton of anti-hunting sentiment on here but just have to sit back and laugh at all the posts by the severly misguided. I grew up on a farm in wisconsin and still actively hunt, as a matter of fact deer hunting season is in a few days.
First of all this guy is located on one of those farms that raise animals especially to be hunted. While I don't specifically see much point in this type of hunting it differs very little to all of the beef cattle in pens I pass on my way to work every morning.
This morning on the way to work I saw two deer splattered all over the highway hit by either trucks or some mom in a SUV not keeping alert.
Many say that I am not wanting for food because I can go to the grocery store and get my meat. Well yes this is true, but when I was just out of high school I actually worked at a meat packing plant. Not only did I work at the plant I had the job of killing those animals for you. Tell me what the difference is between me pulling the trigger there than doing it in the woods? I have done both the only difference I can tell is the range at which I done it.
If you are a vegitarian well then good for you but I prefer meat and I am not changing because you want me to.
I see alot of posts about the challenge of hunting. Deer are a ton smarter than most of you realize, for every deer I shoot a whole bunch get away by outsmarting us. Now that being said I did not find a whole lot of sport in pressing a pneumatic bolt firning weapon against a cow and shooting it dead so you can go have your steak or hamburger tonight.
Everyone have a great day and when you are sitting at the local steak house think about the fact that somebody pulled the trigger so you can eat.
Well if this is what is going to happen then why don't you patent it? This would probably be covered nicely by a business method patent. When they start doing it you sue the hell out of yahoo and retire.
Gmail is beta and I have never seen it so to me it is nothing but vaporware. On the other hand if I wanted to sign up for yahoo and hotmail today I can. Looks like hotmail and yahoo are the war winners.
The biggest threat are all of these wannna be linux admins that are deploying linux like you would in a windows environment. Linux is not windows and should not be deployed as such. The windows deployment model is to load the os on every machine to maximize sales profits.
Linux on the other hand thrives in the thin client environment. When you deploy thin client all of these arguments about patch management, usability, control, software installation all melt away. I run 200 desktops from a single server and spend about 5 minutes a week maximum doing any sort of admin work for these guys.
New rollouts I can use a modified copy of a slackware cd that boots straight to a thin client environment meaning I can deploy most medium sized companies in a single day including the time to load the server. Not only that but the risk is non existant since I don't touch the original drives.
Removing XUL would be a horrible deal. Just imagine if anyone actually put some effort into pushing xul applications how many more people would use firefox. XUL is much more than the UI for firefox it is a application platform that should be scaring the bejezusss out of MS.

No I think it is your computer that is running like ass because I have only half the machine you got and mine smokes.
I have used mepis at both home and work with a great amount of success. Simply put it is the easiest to install system I have ever tried, a really great distro.
Now back to the article and all of the mentions of apt-get. Tell a user to bring up apt-get in a terminal to install software and you are going to get the deer in the headlights look. Ok there is synaptic but it is one of the most confusingly laid out applications I have ever run across. Fix this with something like click and run and mepis would really raise the bar.
Get rid of the mozilla default as soon as firefox hits a 1.0 release and stabalizes, the world has moved on and it is way more user friendly.
Bruce P should have just adopted mepis as his user linux deal and be done with it.
Google, what on earth are you doing? You guys have a most 1 year to attack the market. MS is going to make you irrelivant real quick. If they cannot attack you with marketing they are going to push their own search into the desktop. You only hope is to take that big wad of cash and take over the market. Grab something like this and start taking over the desktop. Grab firefox and push it to the world, if you don't you will just fade away...ask Netscape they will tell you how it works.
Hell stamp out a few million cd's and get every damn convienence store in america to put them on the counter. I think the NYT ad is a cool thing but send out cd's just like the aol punks did.
Slashdot Mirror
Well if the Department Of Homeland Security does not trust IE then why on earth should I?
Of course the house you build is only as good as it's foundation and windows is like erecting a house in quick sand.
I run my own mail server, so am I a ISP? Can I
sue these bastards for using my bandwith sending me unsolicited crap. What is the definition of ISP in reguards the the can spam act?
Great, now when will they install it by default.
But don't ask me to do it I still have not figured
out how to program a hello world using it.
Seriously lets see some cool it only works in firefox xul applications.

If you are running Windows and Cisco instead of Linux and Asterisk you are not broke!....pay up sucka

I have very specific requirements when it comes
to big dog servers and I just bought two more today.
1. Does the hardware vendor support linux or just pay lip service to it.
2. Can I get it without a os loaded or can I get it
preloaded. If it so much as comes with a oem windows
cd in the box I will ship it back.
3. Have they pissed off the community lately.
I just bought over 40k in servers today and guess who did not see a penny of that? DELL

Ok now file lawsuits against every single MS operating system user that will teach them to offer
indemnity.
I guess what they say is true, once a criminal always a criminal.
All you have to do is integrate it into the operating system and poof google goes away!

Now if google would just hook us up and change one of those google o's into a firefox logo life would be really goood.
I would rather have the source code for MS bob than
a pix firewall.
nope
We got smart real quick and block it both at work and the ISP I admin for!
Proxy servers tend to munge up way too much software so all but one company I have ever worked for just nat everything and do not use proxy servers.
