That's the huge advantage of software repositories. You give the package manager priviledges, but the OS packages already checked the packages, so it's "safe enough". Other software (games), can be installed at a user-level, instead of system-level.
I couldn't care less if my students are using facebook or youtube. As long as they don't disturb or distract the rest, they're free to fail as badly as they want. Or they may not fail if they already know the stuff in class. Doesn't really affect me. I'm there for the students that *do* care.
No, I have not bought a house, just like almost anyone else my age. I'm sure the notary prints all the legal documents on things like that. They *did* do that on my current rent's contract. When I get a job, my employer prints the contract, naturally, and since I'm a software developer, it's totally acceptable to e-mail my CV.
I live in a *very* small apartment, and there's a PC really accesible. If I want a printed picture, I usually go to a specialized placed go I can get it on really realy high quality, and larger than A4 as well, plus, I buy the frame there while I'm at it.
And, no: i've never had to tell anyone to go to X network directory, etc, etc. You now, IM has file transfers as well, so that pretty much solves the problem completely, with much less space used up (by a printer), cost, and paper usage.
I agree 100% in principle, but it just *sounds* easy. Creating a standard, and having everyone adopt it... well the latter part is the almost-imposible one honestly.
Well, Google has an SLA, so implying that it might "not be available anymore" from one day to the other, is quite misleading (though it is not litarally *said* in the ad, it's said in an indirect fashion, and quite unmistakeably.).
This is BS. I live in a country with free public universities, yet I pay more than the average salary to go to a private one, and one of the thing they have to offer is "internet access in every building via WI-FI". An HTTP proxy is not real internet access. Additionally, I find that there are lectures on free speach and free internet given by the university all the time, yet I can't even open some specific programming sites, or use external e-mail.
When you complain about e-mail being blocked, they respone that they give you a webmail interface for a university-only email account.
Since all these major corps are so happy to sue each other for every stupid thing (including patents), isn't this sue-worthy? I don't live in USA, so I can't be sure in detail, but in Argentina, google/gmail would pretty much be able to prove that MS is degrading their image, and making them loose potential money. Isn't this so in USA as well? I'm pretty sure it probably is. An, since some of the thing implied are actually non-true, there's a major point there.
Besides, since when do companies need a REAL motive to sue each other.
I can't even remotely understand how you can have budget issues, but can afford windows. Heck, if I wanted to buy windows 7 pro, it would cost 50% of what my current laptop costs. Granted: it's getting rather old, but that's exactly what happens when you have a low budget. Can't you just format it with something that's *free* if budget seems to be the issue for everyone? (I don't even mean FLOSS, just free as in freeware).
If only the results where competitive with Google's. But they're not, and it's a shame, because I like DDG in principle, but when it comes to results, they're not there yet.
Postscript support was slowly removed to reduce manufacturing costs. Nowadays, I don't think these costs are neglectable, and we should go back to these roots.
Of couse, a lot of people want their silly printers with 2GB daemons that let them "press a button to scan", instead of opening a decent program manually to do so.
I own four computers at the moment, and have, during years, owned lots of desktops, servers, laptops, etc, but I have *never*, in my 24 years of life, owned a printer. I think those thing are really deprecated.
I think what we need is the exact oposite. If I write a book, and earn a lot of money, I'd love to give my kids a good start in life, and set them up so they can write their own books and earn their own way through life, why should people earn millones because their grandfather wrote a book? That's monarchy, and there's no merit in that. We need to start looking away from monarchies and those sort of things, and start looking more at meritocracies.
Some very huge websites with millones of visits a day (even hour) run nginx. Apache seems to be far more newbie-oriented in a way; since a great deal of web apps (php anyone?) have very detailed instructions on how to make them run with apache, but not with any other server.
I didn't switch to lighttpd, and then nginx just because of performance. It was, in part, because of configuration. As some Anonymous Coward trolled earlier on, the configuration syntax is pretty pretty complicated, and there are some multisite configurations which are imposible to achieve. It's really a mess, and not-too-well documented.
I have very few servers, each with several sites, with TLS and SNI, and some need to be redirected to others, some are matched with a regex to get some resources from one place, and other resources from some other application on a socket.
This took a few hours the first time with nginx, a few days with lighttpd, but I could *never* achieve this with apache's httpd!
What's the difference between creating a work account with facebook, and creating a work account for webex? You just put the minimun info necessary to register, and don't need to share anything, or use it outside work, so there's no tracking that can be done really (just your working hours, but any other web-based third-party too use your can have the same privacy issue).
Not really. The meego interface is quite inferior to maemo, al least for power users, and the lack of a hardware keyboard is a killer. xterm + virtual keyboard. No thanks (I've tried it, by the way).

Grounding? What kid nowadays cares about going outside. Changing the AP's password is a proper punishment!

I've patented paying royalties, so you now owe me as well!
I'd laugh out load on this, but I might be infringing someone else's patent.

PLEASE read the man pages. You couldn't have been more wrong!

That's not what people pay for, at all.
I do this exactly. I have static IP at home, and a personal server elsewhere, so "ssh -D", and "tsocks" are an EXCELENT combo.

No drivers? WOW! That'll be like having a postscript printer! The future is really an imposible to predict place!

Yes, that's right, mixed matching between hosts and IPs seems to be imposible in httpd.

Imposible if you live outside the US.
Not really. The meego interface is quite inferior to maemo, al least for power users, and the lack of a hardware keyboard is a killer.

I don't live in USA, so getting shipping from eBay is pretty imposible.
