Never heard of apt-get or yum have you? The 100 boxes I run all update themselves every night, automatically. Just like you windows update except that oh yeah I can configure which archives I want to update from, using what priority, exclude the kernel on the serversm and update third party applications too.
When 100 million people worldwide slam the windows update servers (again) on Virus/Exploit day, remind me again about how great the system is.
Yeah but try being a gigging professional musician these days and not know how to read? Forgetaboutit, ain't happening. They have to be literate in their language.
>In addition, music in its current written form is not necessarily the best way to represent music. Just as there are a number of alphabets,
Too bad the present music notation scheme is the only one we've got right now.
Here's an idea: Why do you make up something new instead of complaining about the lack thereof.
These things were an invasion of privacy, until I saw some stupid Yuppie soccer mom with an Excusion full of kids run a red in Pasadena and almost take out a crosswalk full of kids walking home.
If you're not doing anthing wrong you won't be affected plain and simple. If you insist on trying to take unfair advantage of the system you'll get caught. Seems reasonable enough to me, get over it. You can still move somewhere else if you really don't like it.
as some of the other posters have pointed out... just as there's more to a computer than a collection of tubes that can preform numerical calculations there's more to a skateboard than nailing four wheels to a 2x4. refer: http://www.exploratorium.edu/skateboarding/skatede sign.html for more details... or come watch me and da boys shread a pool, for some first hand demonstrations.
If the citizens of the US or of the member states of the ESA stood up and demanded, right now, that we get a man to mars, it'd be done within 10 years. Just like the moon race, With everyone being fat, happy, clueless, consumers however things will just muddle along. Witness the mustering of political willpower in the wake of 09.11.01, just by way of recent example.
The Feds did a study once... it actually cost less money to fund the Apollo program than it would have to have had all the folks who worked on the project collect welfare (a.k.a. be on the dole for you brits out there).
Conclusions: It's not really (for once) about the money because if the Poly-trick-sters thought they'd get votes for funding the Mars shot, by God they would find the money. It's about balls or in this case the lack thereof. Thus the West turns it's back on the outside world and proceeds down the path that all other cultures have trod before it...

Lets see maybe it's because they BOUGHT THE LAST PRESIDENT of the U.S. ???
In return for stupid amounts of campaign money they got Most Favored Nation status at a time when the Russian economy really really could have used the help. Nice way to reward our former enemies for actually (re)joining us in the West, economically and democratically, by turning our backs on them. Way to fucking go Clinton, short term profit over long term goals. Somebody lock up that man and do the world a favor...
steal 100 bucks go to jail...
steal 10000 bucks get parole...
steal 10 billion bucks (like ms) and you're a king (esp. when you kick back to those already charge)
read your history, things have always been this way...
cynical...noooooo not me;)
looking more like corporate feudalism rather than democracy these days isn't it
look in your history of tech at the time of ww2... they actually did rotate pilots and flight engineers through 8 week long classes here on campus, and housed them in dabney and page by god too, or maybe it was blacker too i forget exactly which of the houses. teaching flight crews dead reckoning and celestial nav, yup you didnt realize the tech was a trade school didya, look again it still is but for engineers and academic researchers:)
im a sysadmin by trade, i have a burner at work and more bandwidth than your choice of european contries piped into the site, so nope i dont HAVE to pay, but i do have a slackware subscription 'cuz some folks do deserve the money, otherwise we'd never get new quality distros
Time for a new job. The one constant in job satisfaction is the relationship between the manager and the managed. If your boss makes these sorts of unresonable demands, yes that is a VERY unresonable scenario that you described, its time to get a new boss, a.s.a.p.. Unless you like working in your free time and not getting paid, but there are very deserving charities out there that need volunteers way more than you boss does. Don't allow yourself to be used / manipulated / pimped like that.
Where I work (think rival to MIT), we are required to sign a gem of a document from which the following is an extract...
All rights to computer software, including computer programs, computer databases, and associated documentation("computer software"), whether copyrightable or patentable, produced by employees or students in the line of Institute duty or with the use of Institute facilities, shall be owned by or assigned to the Institute, regardless of the source of funds used to produce the computer software. Computer software produced outside the line of Institute duty and on the author's own time, and without the use of Institute facilities, are not the property of the Institute.
The legal brigade (numerous and well funded themselves) have determined like many employers that they own your time and the resources you create upon, and therefore the product... regardless of what kind of license you *think* you want to stick on it. Again the short answer: read those policies lest you get very burned.
well the deutrium and tritium based approaches to fusion in the lab generate alot of fast neutrons which tend to make everything they come into contact radioactive, moreso than the tritium itself. coupla grams of tritium you can deal with it's the 30 ton magnet array for the tokamok that's hard to dispose of...
What if I can't code my way out of a paper bag (and yes I work with people that dream in code)...
Or say, for example, that in the course of being a busy sysadmin and father I dont have the time to contribute documentation. Wouldn't it be cool if by sending them a benjamin I could be contributing enough that I'd get stock in my fave distro?
After all isn't that why we have money: to exchange for goods and services.
If enough people contribute a hundred bucks, there will be money to pay for someone to code. The real question is not HOW you contribute. It's whether actually DO contribute. Do you??
My father does graphic design for a living, and while yes, lotsa people use photoshop on whatever platform they choose...
The real issue is the the graphics world runs on Quark, 'cuz if there's *anything* you want to publish it has go through Quark so the RIP (rasterizing image processor) can make an actually print of your "copy".
Now if Gimp had a plugin that would export to a file Quark could read; well while i'm dreamin'...
the state of california has a law on the books that states (IANAL so bear with me) in essence, that if you show up on a job site in any capacity and do work you are entited to 4 hours pay, minimum. If you exceed 8 hours in a day you get OT, 12 or more in a day gets you double time. the old "you know i have to bill for 4 hours of OT if i show up there" bit usually puts off all but the most critical issues, as by rights it should. sure i'll fix the mail server on sunday, but if your $mailapp is broken on saturday you'd better pay the piper or get over it.
