First Half: As much as I agree with the question about the book bindings, I would find hardcover books unbearable. I read my ORA books in EVERY room in the house( and if you say you don't read in THAT room you're fibbing;>). I like the lightweight (save my copy of Perl Cookbook and the number of "Definitive References") aspect of the softcovers. I carry upwards to 7 ORA books back and forth from home and the office every night.
Second Half: Is ORA planning on putting out a series on php at all? There is currently only one decent book on php right now. I am really used to the ORA format and would love to have one on php to reference.
Thanks for the great books and everything your company has done.
I'm not playing flamebait boy here but hasn't THIS story been posted already? I know I've seen those images before (and not just a flashback from childhood theater visits;>). I'm searching for the article now.
I'm glad redhat did thier IPO the way they did because now I can buy stocks in companies like cobalt and beos that I want to support by more than just buying products.
I don't understand why there are so many people who don't WANT to make a career. I personally didn't mind taking a pay cut to permanent with the company I'm at now. Maybe I'm a bit old school in this mindset but I find it better to build time with a company and show some company loyalty. I feel liek my skillsets are valuable enough that if they want to keep me they'll pay more come raise time.
Actually it's not that ridiculous at all. Having done my seminary stint, here's my worthless opinion. Imagine being John in early A.D and being shown an image of the future. You are shown an apache helicopter but you don't know what a helicopter is. The words you describe it with are "flying locusts with crowns of gold and faces like man" Makes sense to me. You see images of people with barcodes on them and you see that it is requiered to buy and sell. Being that revelation describes the future from both the spiritual and physical planes, John might have seen people being controlled by a spiritual puppeter who in the spiritual level was giving them the mark of the beast but on the physical, it was just a barcode for conducting business.
Then again I could be full of it. But I like to think I'm right about some things.
I'm wondering if, with all the misinformation here, we should email the editor of the newspaper and point them out to him? If we did this with each story that gets posted with *BLATENT* misinformation and lack of research, we might be able to push some retractions?
Another point that people are missing is this: if linux fails miserably in the corporate market, it doesnt matter (The Rock style inflection). People will still use linux. At least I will. And I'm willing to bet others will as well. The model of opensource is inherently longterm. The only thing to really stop development is if everyone in the world looses intrest in programming.
i think this has its own problems. It seems more often than not we have had industry insiders who shouldnt be posting on a thread, doing os as AC to provide a bit of insight into the topic. That's just my view on it.
Jesus...thats pretty close to yours. It makes me wonde if individuals have the same recourse that Amazon.com did in regards to the greek bookstore that just recently cahnged thier site.
When did PICK get ported to linux? When I was with storehouse, the point of sale solution we went with was coded in PICKBASIC running on HPUX. If I remember correctly, It was called Universe/Unidata?
I never said anything about a GUI nor getting the code from BCF. My point was that someone has already done it and it's possible to look through the articles and find out which applcation they used for it or wether they wrote thier own. I'm not knocking your product by any means, just making a point. Of course when I mentioned web browser you assumed that was the GUI. Everyone knows a web browser. The time sheet app I wrote for my company now Is all text links with only 5 images for operations on the timesheet. I.e. a check button, double xx for delete all records, single records deleted via single x. Oh well. I'll go babble elsewhere for now;)
Heheheh. I was wo0rking on POS (point of sale definition) for Storehouse Furniture when I was sysadmin there. We used to joke that our current POS was a POS;)
Just as I submit mine someone has the exact same idea. Maybe a few of us should get together and work on something along these lines. Webenabled business software. Not that there arent other projects already though?
check around for articles on slashdot and other sites about Burlington Coat Factory rolling out linux to all POS machines in the company. If i remember right, at the time it was the largest mainstream coporate rollout of linux into production environments. Course, as usual, i could be wrong. the point is that it has been done. i remember seeing at ALE last year a company that has CC proccesing software (similar to ICVerify) for that particular purpose. Back to burlington, I think they wrote thier own package though. It wouldnt be too hard to write something like this in php3 or whatnot and have it private network webenabled. If you do that, you have a host of contact management web apps to read and borrow code from or get ideas from. Just a few ideas.
The point you are missing here is user level and root level. At least thats my take...the worst it could do is take down that specific user. Maybe rm -rf his home dir or something along those lines. Windows (nt et all) have never had the concept of user level and root level security implemented very well. Another reason that it wouldnt be as effective is userspace and kernel space. Programs from Microsoft are so integrated into kernelspace (for "ease of use") that its scary. Of course I could be talking out of my ass but then again I dont use staroffice to read my mail. Emacs works just fine;)
It's really kind of sad. I read the article straight from slashdot and not even *I* got the feeling that the NSA had anything to do with this, and I'm one of the biggest anti-ms/government types here at the office. Is this company reputable? Aren't they being stepping rather lightly on the side of slander/libel ( i forget which one applies) on Microsoft? It seems rather irresponsible on thier part. Maybe I'm just feeling semi-pro MS today after reading the Newsweek interview with Bill Gates. At least he's putting his money to good use.
Well if you read any Douglas Adams, you understand that it wont matter anyway because there will only be two mice left who were once scientists and they fill get eaten by an owl.

Okay I have to go buy a copy of that movie now. I used to love that thing. My old copy that my mom has( I called her and asked) is totally worn out.

I agree. This will lead to what true competition is supposed to create. A better end result for the consumer. At least that's how i see things.

Speaking of which TNT is going to be showing a new revamped Animal Farm movie here in the next few weeks.

hehehe actualy i was just in a hurry to get the post out ;)

If a message is marked as inflamatory, THEN you could have the persons IP address posted with the AC post as someone suggested below.

Well then I can set up a mailing list and we can get a thread going on this if ya want. You can figure out how to email me ;)

Hrmmmm last I checked I was neither retarded nor inbred. I'm not making the following sentance to be arrogant or asshole-ish but.....

If you don't like Atlanta, go elsewhere. I love it here. =)
Of course just as you have the right to bitch about Atlanta, I have the right to defend it
