  1. Package management handles most bullet points on Linux vs. Windows: Choice vs. Usability · · Score: 0

    Of the five bullet points given by the author, three of them should be handled by package management:

    * have an install program that automated all modifications to the target machine and provided reasonable and intelligent default settings

    * have an uninstall program that removed the software but would not affect any data produced with the software

    * would include the ability for users to manually or automatically upgrade their applications to the latest stable release version

  3. Re:Mark of the Beast - TM on Barcode Tatoo as Permanent ID - Arrgh! · · Score: 1

    In the movie "Twelve Monkeys" Bruce Willis had bar code tattoo on the back of his neck. I also believe that the movie came out in the summer of 1996. Is the date he registered the patent a coincidence?

    When you compare the Bill Gates Wealth clock and the Red Hat Wealth Monitor you find out that the only person on the Red Hat list (as of August 17 18:44 EDT 1999) that isn't richer than Bill Gates is Eric Hahn.

    >Actually, all but the most reactionary people and organizations seem to think that the Internet is more trouble than it's worth.

    >To be sure, the Internet is a hazardous environment, but all but the most reactionary recognize that the rewards outweigh the risks.

    Make up your mind man!

  7. overlooking the obvious on SCO CEO Calls Red Hat a Fraud · · Score: 1

    Besides it being in SCO's best interest to discredit Red Hat and Linux, SCO's CEO overlooked something that most of the software industry is based on. People are willing to pay large amounts of money for the luxury of ignorance. If people want to throw money at Red Hat, nobody should stand in their way. Unlike with most other operating systems everybody has a choice whether or not to send somebody money for a copy.
