you wouldn't have to endure these wacko advertisements should our country make reasonable laws and not laws that have been begged by a coalition of mothers who have lost their children to alcohol related accidents.
the problem here is that people can't control a vehicle very well after having comsumed quantities of alcohol. having a drinking age of 21 does not solve this problem. MADD lobyists: lobby for fundage to public transportation systems; lobby for MORE local alcohol permits to be available (thus more local neighborhood bars);
there's a sound reason women weren't aloud to vote when this country was established. call it flamebait or whatever, but women generally consider emotion heavily when deciding on a conclusion (some men too, but i won't delve into that area); men generally can factor out emotion and consider common sense and facts when deciding on a conclusion.
my personal preferance would be Tomcat/JBoss/Apache/postgresql. there's a lot of benefit to taking advantage of product which implement standards and even more benefit when those products are open source free as in beer and free as in speach.
one feature of MySQL is that it "runs" on Win32 platform a little easier than pgsql, but i totally agree with the need for people to consider postgresql. with the use of adodb for php (database abstraction layer), use of pgsql is much easier.
back in the old days? what? in school were "collaborated" on cobol assignments which was little more than borrowing a disk from someone who had the exact same class last term, then makeing sure it still ran. coding languages requires you to understand the concepts and to implement them. if you need to know what a for loop to iterate of a collection looks like, google it or get eclipse;). if you're memorizing this type of stuff, well you're not spending enough time reading/.
iirc, most obscure builds are not moz builds and are contributed from other... well... contributors. the os/2 build is from ibm. solars build... that comes from sun. OpenVMS... again, not mozilla. OpenBSD, wait a minute. hasn't that one died yet?
ahh definately. i like gentoo. i like to use gentoo on my home systems. at work i get to develop java applications and thus am on Win2k sending apps to a solaris box, no linux in this datacenter.
gentoo also can very frustrating to maintain. the portage system needs some serious robust features.
the etc-update is not sufficient for managing config files. portage should know if i've changed a config file, leave it alone; otherwise it should be safe to upgrade the new config file. i should only have to worry about updating things i've changed, then the changes that portage recommends should be extremely verbose and easily integratable with my config files. an upgrade of xfree and there's 87 config files that needs updated. i find myself quickly integrating all the etc files and chances are there's one hidden in there that shouldn't be updated (/etc/fstab perhaps).
there needs to be a way to delete cascade. delete kde and all packages that have dependancies on it. there also needs to be a way to restrict delete cascade such that emerge unmerge kde-libs will not go if there's packages that depend on kde-libs (of course a --force option or such should also probably exist, but not be the norm). as is now, portage is happy to unmerge xfree on a system loaded with x applications.
i have two boxes at home that run gentoo. i started with 1.2 and eagerly waited for the 1.4 beta releases to come out to get to the new gcc. i've had to rebuild both systems from scratch within the last month or so because they were so fubarred they wouldn't boot to a devfs kernel, they had issues with kdm not logging into a window manager, etc, etc. the second reinstall is continuing today as i'm hoping kde will be complete when i get home. i moved from RH basically because my system was 1/2 home built anyway. i built xfree from source, and each new kde release from source along with countless other libs/programs/utils. i did find that installing packages via RPM to be a little challenging. download the new packge to find i need to download 4 more, and then 6 more, etc. any new software to install was done via source so i figured gentoo sounded like the right step. i just don't like that i have to have win98 around for when the system is really fubarred that it won't work and will have some substancial downtime to get back up to speed.
well, except for the fact that USB delivers 5 VDC on the line. you'll be pressed to cook some sliders with that voltage levels. a USB coffee warmer might be a good idea though.
um certainly, they can't report any relevant news. for one day of the year all actual news ceases to exist and the entire world learns only of horrible attempts at humor by technical writers who really really should stay with technical writing and not fiction.
sorry. this bit isn't new and the/. comedy crew (read: editors) have been using it for quite some time now. it even helped save my job once thursday afternoon. i was about to snooze off after having a huge bowl of pasta for lunch and reading/. when all the sudden right there in the middle of the page was this blatant dup article. well, that woke me right up and got me into posting mode, which after 20 minutes or so usually turns into coding mode which helped me get my project complete only 3 weeks behind schedule which helped me keep my job. thanks/. for keeping some of us employed just a tad bit longer!
how about after you emerge evolution, you see that you have mozilla installed and go to remove it via:
emerge unmerge mozilla
shouldn't there be something to stop this unmerge and show you which packages you have installed that require the package you're uninstalling. how about wanting to remove mozilla and all the packages that are built on it. kind of an on delete cascade type of functionality. portage lets me remerge mozilla and all the package it's built on (deep) but not all the packages that's built on mozilla.... someday it'll mature a little.
unless you want to actually use your system instead of spending all your time maintaining it./is it clear?
gentoo's a great idea and all, but it will take some serious corporate sponsorship / IC fundage to get it to be a valuable platform. dependancies in a package management system are a good thing. rpm -e PackageName should choke if there's packages installed that depend on PackageName, emerge unmerge PackageName should also. package management should also have a recursive uninstall feature. (uninstall qt and anything that uses it because i don't like it any more).
um, it also says that the recipient has the right to modify the work, and the right to redistribute the work. the fact that the source code is available is just an added bonus in this situation. anybody who gets their hands on the redhat iso's (assuming all s/w is gpl'd which i believe it is) can redistribute it for profit or for gratis.
you can get your own cable box. they're not illegial to own. cable companies don't like it when you do, and they'll pull all kinds of garbage to tell you you can't have it. most descramblers (cable boxes ) are dumb and can't avoid decoding the premium services. also, most (if not all) consumer available cable boxes are still analog.
the cable company can know if you have a second or third digital cable box in your house. the digital boxes are two way boxes that talk back and forth. that's how you can use your remote control to authorize ppv or video on demand movies.
if you have a second or third analog box, it's fairly hard for them to tell that its on the line. about the most the cable company can do is try to determine how many tv's you have hooked up, even then that's not very reliable.
i imagine soon there will be a way to "proxy" your digital boxes such that you can get as many in side as you want w/o paying for their monthly rental.
a common defense?!? a common defense?!?. if it were only that simple, our lives would be much simpler. we're banded together by a common defense, and a commmon social security program and a common welfare program and a common medicade program a common space research program, a common agriculture subsidy program, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,etc. call it a democracy or a republic or 50 little republics banded together, or a curcus act; i don't care. as long as they stop this silly federal mandated socialistic society and get back to the job they have thats outlined in the constitution. Protect the borders and ensure that the citizens are afforded constitutional rights. a social security program does not ensure the eldery are afforded constitutional rights. if a particular state wishes to continue a social security program; let them, but don't mandate this sh!t from the republic democracy band of circus acts.
again, the heart of xml leaves you two things. you have a valid document, or you have an invalid document (according to a DTD or schema or just syntactically).
the plethora of tools surrounding xml, the processors, is where the troubles come into play. tools, just like all other software is going to have bugs. i prefer to go for open source type tools that if i need to i can dig into it and create a nice fix or work around for that bug. if you're using microsoft xml parsers, processors, etc, you probably don't have that luxary
sorry for the tools you're stuck working with, but xml as a language/specification is agreed upon. it's in the vendor's implementations where YMMV. i haven't worked with perl/soap, but many people find the xerces parser to work nicely.
computers don't have to deal with the xml schema, it's someone's implementation of how to handle schema's is where the problem comes in.
just curious where you're living in MX, and your work situation? i'm extremely interested in living in MX (have to figure out how to handle my wife's employment). my choice would be in the yuccatan area...
you obviously haven't been a victim of emerge/ebuild hell. gentoo is a great idea that needs a little maturity (read: robust package management).
wanna get the latest version of kde? well, sorry you're going to need the latest version of xfree (kde doesn't really have much hooks at all in xfree let alone having 3.1.1 needing a uber-modern version of xfree. xfree 4.3 on the other hand has BUSTED fonts in gentoo).
emerge is nice and fun. it's still a toy until it gets extremely more robust management. a user should be able to "lock" certain config files, while leaving others for the system to handle. better yet, the package management system should know if i've changed a config file, other wise it can handle it.
YAST/rpm/apt-get may have their issues (ok deb users will claim that apt doesn't have issues;) ), but so does portage. the fact is that all these other systems have more testing behind thier binary packages which makes them more stable and more useable. these other systems also have more testing/engineering behind them to make them more robust. mainly problems arrise from these systems when users go to install packages outside of the officially released and supported packages.
untill i can easily get my printer/webcam/scanner/video acceleration/audio/etc working nicely under gentoo, it's time to find something stable. i said that a few months back and tried RH 8.0. at the time that was worse than the gentoo that i had (at least i could print from RH). so finally, i gave up and installed win98 so i could use my devices when i wasn't surfing the net.

yes, i was being sarcastic. that was certainly the day for it.
Newsflash dude: All Your Whines Are Belong to Us.
Because they continue to post some real stories, too.
/. were you brought up on? must have been before the ipv4 changes; slightly after gentoo migrated to rpm...
which version of

xcdroast 1.0 released
gentoo 1.4 released
smell that? smells kinda like vaporware...
of course there's plenty to add to this list..
