This is a 10 year old argument and you sir, obviously have not used Ubuntu. As of the LTS release, Ubuntu is hands down the easiest OS I have ever touched for installation and average every day usage.
Gaming isn't too bad of an issue now with automatix installing the GL video drivers (if you have nvidia), I was able to play Half-Life 2 and its numerous mods with no problem and minimal configuration for wine. Did you never have to run memmaker and edit autoexec.bat and config.sys files trying to squeeze that tiny little bit of extra memory out for a game in DOS? Did you never have to change pagefile settings in windows to improve system performance to get a game to run better?
The ONLY thing holding linux back from a desktop point of view at this point is a lack of a standardized LDAP backend for businesses thats as retardedly easy to work with as Active Directory (from an admin standpoint). _Thats it_
Pal, you obviously do NOT use linux, the multiple desktops are THE reason to use X, gnome and kde just make things pretty, but its the usefulness of the underlying x system that makes linux worth using. I support Windows and Mac POS X primarily, and I must say, both are lacking in terms of productivity when put up against X with (insert favorite wm here) and multiple desktops out of the box.
I'm guessing is psuedo-spam for Exchange 2007. All they could possibly be talking about is the DEFAULT EMAIL QUOTA of 50MB being bumped to 2GB. The article is obviously a fluff piece, I have numerous clients running Ex2003 all of which have users with mailboxes around 2GB. And the clustering bit supposedly relieving the tape backup nightmare is utter bullshit when the client is required by law to keep offsite backups of all email. Giving all of the users 2GB on a hundred user exch server = 200GB = an extra 10 hours of backup to tape time (realworld performance on the average BackupExec 10d server).
Well then, I would like to know where my public domain internet connection on my house.
The internet itself is a collection of primarily PRIVATE systems running data over public right of way lines, the data in question is stored on PRIVATE servers, they aren't talking about capturing the mail from the trucks driving down the tubes (from the data stream on the wire) directly, they are talking about copying it from private servers.
Seriously take a look at what Autopatcher includes, its a lot more than just the integrated patches from MS. Although its nothing you couldn't take care of with a few hours of scripting on your own, Heise or not, and a Group Policy to push it to domain computers, but its very convenient for lazy..XXXX... busy folks like me.;)
Which just means you duplicating the effort already put forth by the Autopatcher team? I can understand from a auditable trail/security pov, but so far I have experienced no issues with their patch tool.
When the hell was IE 'technologically superior' to Netscape in its heyday? IE 3.0? Netscape Communicator was the 'hotness' in comparison, it was the MS monopoly that ended up making NS look outdated or broken b/c of pages designed for IE (especially sites made with that legendary POS Frontpage). Netscape got pwned by the monopoly machine that was MS, but they were never technologically inferior to MS until their business model suddenly became useless and stagnated.
Fedora and CentOS are NOT Red Hat. If you want (or require by the corporate bosses that be) production quality business machines with quality vendor support, RHEL is a must over Fedora or CentOS. In medium/enterprise IT consulting, you pretty much always have to choose your systems based more on Vendor Support and external consulting/support costs than just initial price point. Small time linux consultants with no liability insurance don't make the cut in this case, and 'big time' linux consultanting firms charge more per hour than run of the mill 'MS' IT firms.
I feel your pain, I still have mine and its definitely a powerhouse machine but useless while mobile. Initially my zd7140us got 2.5hours of battery life, lately it struggles to go 1.75 hours, mostly 1.5 or less with wifi on.
Now I have a work-provided Dell Latitude D620 with dual core intel and 2 gigs o delicious ram and it has a decent 3.5 hour battery and still runs circles around my old hp in performance. Plus I can go the 2nd battery route with this one if needed.
You seem to be repeatedly spreading the typical MS spin in your several comments in this thread so far. MS *DOES* have a history of doing this, you will not rewrite history on us, especially recent history. Stop reading MS marketing material and open your eyes, ears and mind. And try reading groklaw once a year, you might learn something.
Because Scientologists are everywhere now. Their "religion" allows you to lie if you feel you are justified, without consequence. They avoid paying taxes, they brainwash themselves and others, they use pyramid schemes to make their money, they suppress freedom of thought and action that doesn't benefit the church, they trap their own practitioners and build files for blackmail on them through their own version of confession called auditing, they are required to shun anyone that disagrees with their religion, and they are f'ing cowards and use aggressive doublespeak tactics in their ineffectual attempts to win arguments.
That said, they aint got nothin on the crazier versions of Southern Baptists. Plus the idea of a galactic fight against alien overlords is kinda cooler than a giant invisible guy with a long beard up in the sky that occasionally gets bored and smites people. But we all know that FSM is really our lord and savior.
I didn't take it that way at all. The XP theme is a POS and it eats system resources with all the 'effects' it wastes on window sizing/fake 3d buttons and taskbar/etc. The only thing that grew on me from XP was the new start menu which let me be lazy with 2 clicks for outlook (for work email) and allowing me to unclutter my quicklaunch. But even that took 2 years for me to finally start preferring. The XP theme looks unprofessional, like it belongs on an XBox or a kids 'disney' themed computer.
Well one thing you dont seem to lack is plenty of cognitive dissonance. She was the one that ordered the investigators to proceed, the responsibility is on her for using the information they returned. I'd like to see call recordings and records between her and investigators and the space of time after they placed the calls to get the phone records illegally before and after to determins if they called her for specific authorization.
Perhaps you are an idiot or you must've voted for Bush, which explains your lack of comprehension of ethics.
my guess would be its another NSA exploit built into wireless cards. It'd make sense. Plus his reference to black helicopters in a seemingly innocent but suspect way.
quite simply, if its a state-led program, it amounts to punishment and is illegal, if its not a state led program it amounts to vigilante justice and is illegal.
Non-ISP customers are not the ones that need support. The ISP customers, which are still the backbone of AOL's existance as a viable business despite doublespeak from Time Warner and AOL execs, are going to take the major hit. AOL is has a fever, and theres just not enough cowbell to cure it.
And more importantly, now all the noob AOL ISP ass clowns are going to be taking MY high speed cable bandwidth as they finally give up on quality support!
Profitable, perhaps, but Good? Have you ever tried to migrate an entire office from Windows to Xandors? Ever looked at their 'application' installer, which requires registration to install their hanful of 'premium' free gpl'ed and DEMO apps? Its a sham. The ONLY use for Xandros is the ability to join it to a domain and verify you are actually logging in under a domain under the initial login screen.
