This is OpenSource. She can still work on it just without pay, and on her own time. This is not good, most certainly, but hey, at least she isn't stricken from contributing.
Now that is a great sig.
To be more on topic, I think that sending AIX with a swift kick to the pants is a good idea by being compatible with current and future AIX apps.
Having said that, I can only hope that Banner doesn't get ported... damn it is slow.
End users shouldn't be tinkering with the machines. The configuration and installation of other programs is the (main) reason a company(or gov't) has an IT dept. We set'em up, you use'em. That's it. If you want something installed, you call or email and we decide whether or not you need it installed. If you decide to try to take the task on yourself, you have just violated the apropriate use clause in your contract. You have been warned.
But, that is just my point of view as I deal with that sort of thing on a daily basis(and no, windows endusers can't do anything without munging up the system either!)
that this had been around about three years ago... I might still be in school full time, and I might still be a music composition major! lol
Well, maybe not.;)
It does sound like a great idea. This is exactly where money could be made! Make the specialized distros instead of even worrying about the blooming desktop! People will use whatever is there. However, when something can be used as a _real_ tool, the interest starts to rise and with that, usage follows.
And although this may go against the grain of the OSF and FSF people out there, myself included, this is exactly the thing we need the public to understand to get past this 'viral' outlook that M$ has decided to slap on us. I say three cheers for capitalism and the right to share and share alike!
We can take any of the kernel adaptations and use them, and make our own set of programs(address box, calender etc). This is how new markets come about!
Let's start our own network. Not just one that can be gotten via the usual methods, but through various other transports. Let's give cable and DBS the boot and make up our own system!
We don't want to watch what you think we want to watch any more!
I used Napster as a research tool myself. I was looking up songs that have been passed down through the folk music veins and ended up being rock legends. The main story that I researched was Stagger Lee. I had no idea there were that many makes of the Story of Stagger Lee! Otherwise, I would have never found all of that stuff except what other people had done. Oh well. I guess getting bent over and fscked by the suits is what acedemia gets for fuleing their furnace.

Don't even for a second try to act like we don't have a good IDE for Linux development. Try it. You'll like it. And don't give me any shtick about being open minded either. There is a great big difference between being educated, standing your ground and being closed minded. If you don't want to learn the difference, be prepared to be ignored.
I guess no one has read any of our questions as to why Microsoft continues to call GNU and the GPL part of the Open Source Movement. It just isn't true. GNU and the GPL are part of the Free Software Movement. Geesh, people.
In an era of knowlegde and information, it seems to me that disinformation is a greater power than truth.
is IE "the best browser"? If it crashes... the whole bloody system crashes. I run Opera || Mozilla. Everywhere. And yes, they can and will crash. Just like every other program. But, and however, the system keeps going.
I can understand AOL's position. It is job security in the isp market. They are the media monster. They don't have to worry about transmission of data, they just have to worry about some other company making inroads to their clients(endusers, not users of broadband). So, it is a logical choice to re-strike the deal with microsoft. May not be what we want, but then on the other hand, we(mostly) are budding idealists with blurred vision of reality.;^)
I just want some proof that IE is better than anything else, other than possibly a high-colonic. I don't find sites that are made for Netscape. I do find sites made for IE. So why is it that people bitch about "Propietary Netscape Tags"?
ok, that was a rant, but I really do want proof.
Well, as the ethics, philosophical aspects rear their ugly heads, you will realize that it may be a positive thing. The workers may gripe a little, but it _is_ a job. Not just that, but look at a lot of folks that work for the government: they want less government, but they have to work for the government to get into a position to make a change...
A job is a job, especially in a shrinking job market. What they do after hours (so long as it isn't stealing code) should be of no concern to the employer. Anyway, back to the positive light! I think just maybe, there would be a small surge of confidence in OSS and or Free Software if software shops would start hiring these geeks. A subtle hint here, a blatant suggestion there... who knows? The reason why a lot of companies are afraid of Open Source and Free Software are that they don't know what it is. Getting some folks in there that _do_ know might make a difference.
Cheers and good luck!
Have Opera, Mozilla and Konq. bundled? Then the browsers would have no room for complaints! All are great, Mozilla has come a long way. I have been following all three browsers for a long time now, and I'll have to say that what is out there now is awesome. But I must say, I do like the sound of Mozilla being the default browser in RH.
cheers!
I would like to interject with my own information...
TurboLinux is _huge_ in asian countries, and LinuxCare is actually a great company who does a lot for the community and for the companies who work with the community/market. Just my two bits...
DSL from incompetent providers(Frontier Lightning Link) being the one 'choice' of service... how painfully obvious does it have to be that there is no competition in the field? In the area that I live in, we are force-fed everything, from cable to telephone service. Sure, there are other companies all over the place, but not in this hicksville. What is worse is that there are three(!) colleges in this town(one being the largest University in this part of Georgia). Don't those stuffed-shirt morons know that there is a gold mine down here is SE Georgia to be reaped? I suppose one company:Frontier Communications(A Global Crossing Corporation).
Free market!? Right, and Clinton wasn't a lying bastard. BTW, those of you out there that think that the government should step in don't have a clue... they are getting paid by the companies to keep their mouths shut.
Sounds like to me the folks at Libranet actually _read_ the blooming GPL! Nice to see this coming around now. I don't mind paying for quality stuff, and I am sure that they will have no problems selling downloads/cds. I may even grab one myself.
Woo-hoo! Someone else out there with a clue! I am sick and tired of the bitching and moaning. So what if RH7.0 was insecure out of the box. If it was, then don't use it for a DNS Server. Geesh. Everyone has a preference, and very well should. But don't think for a second that your distro of choice is better at everything than anyone else's distro of choice. Because when it comes down to it... you are going to install sources of new packages anyway so it's going to be different than the original distro anyway! Blah!
I still don't understand why it is that official clients have been bumped as well. I have had it with AOL and their IM crap. I can't connect no matter what client I am using. And, in the off chance that I do connect, I am promptly disconnected. I will be quite happy when Jabber really takes off. I have tried to use Jabber in the past, but I have yet to have it run smoothly (I know it is beta-ish software, but I am looking to leave the realm of AIM). Anyway, I most likely will just set up a private irc room.
Funny, I don't know very many people with the bandwidth to download distros...or games. and I know a lot of people who go to the store, or online to _pay_ for their linux. And their games. I have purchaced several games from Loki, and I am quite pleased. Now, if I could just get DiabloII and Black&White, I would be a happy man.

It is perfectly legal for private or public corporations to get involved in their own space exploration programs. As a matter of fact, there are many companies and corporations that have been developing their own technologies. You don't hear about them for a damn good reason... they don't want you to hear about it until they think you are ready to shell out the bucks.
I can't explain why NASA has decided to stick to the older technologies, because there is no understaning their logic(if there be any). But, I do like the fact that we, as citizens of the USA, get to hear about what they are doing, and what they are planning(even if it is mangled by the media and nameless others).
I say here here to those working at NASA. I am glad to see that even though the ColdWar is over, they haven't taken their eyes off of the pentultimate goal: Space.
