I've been using linux as my desktop since 94. Its gotten a heck of a lot easier to use in the meanwhile. I'll say it right here: the usability of open source continues to improve, and is in fact better than the last windows desktop I had to use.
how do you install bison or yacc on windows, anyhow?

They can't have my hat until they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
my TCO for linux when up sharply in the past 2 years compaired to the past 5 years. I spent a lot of time dealing with spam generated by worms and viruses on infected microsoft hosts.
I've got 6 small volume mailing lists in my domain. I first ran into the problem where some ISP were ignoring mail from my server on a cable modem, so I routed all out going email to my ISP's SMTP server.
Then I ran into the problem where my email address, short and begins with 'a', was a popular choice for the last round of viruses. I eventualy had to block about 40 DSL and cable modems at my firewall.
Then my trafic was over 99% dropped packes, effectively denying service.
I finally gave up and hosted my email with hostforweb, which supports mailman and spam assasin. I blame microsoft, for still not realizing that computers in general, and the net in particular, is often a shared resource.
I think the return on investment I've gotten for Settles of Catan far exceedes just about every thing else except a deck of cards. There are a number of expansions available that don't get as much play, but are still pretty good.
nobody in my network (me and my wife) use outlook, and we're tucked safely behind a firewall. I've added about 10 DSL ips to my blacklist, but there is nothing I can do to prevent the spoofed outgoing messages from some other network. I'm still getting bounced email 'returned' to me that I never sent.
Most service groups need bodies more than they PCs. If a problem with a tech fix presents its self, offer to solve it. You might even shudder have to support some windows apps. When a real problem that is best solved with open source software happens, you'll be on hand to do it.
I'm doing some some office work for my church, and I set up a mysql database to make it easier. Nobody but me knows, or cares, that it takes half the time it did before.
This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
single machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
will run faster if you say N here.
Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
"Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.
Gates: we have been forced by international presure to ensure that all supported software is up to date and all un supported software is deactivated. All of your servers are belong to us.
the real value of brand names on all of your clothes is so that middle and lower class people can see how much you spend on your clothing. People with real money wear clothing that can be identified by other people with real money.
the problem is that you have two seperate things 1) programs and 2) configuration. These two things combine to create a third thing, your run time environment.
create a script to ensure that the configuration is valid, and matches a given set of programs.
I've got something like this for creating Solaris packages. I check to make sure all of the file that go in the package are in the profile AND that all of the files listed in the profile are present.
Yes, it is. The implication is that an authorized user, without administrator access, could be the victim of a Trojan of some kind. This in turn could compromise the whole box. Even the parts that the orignal user didn't have access too.
Any system is potentialy vulnerable to local exploits (ex local ssh exploit). They are usually not this easy to implement, however.

so what exactly is your complaint?

I don't mean to say RTFM, but did you read the GPL and LGPL? What section of the GPL isn't clear?

Just so. Now what about all of the people who think they got junk spam from me?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not even using the alleged infringing code on any of my 4 Linux boxes. I've got SMP turned off.

you also need the scsi on ide emulator for cdrecord. This might require special boot parameters, or even re-compiling the kernal.
how does doe work? When can it be boiled, steamed, fried, or baked?
