The thing is, is that Max OS X and *BSD are not UNIX.
I don't remember there I read this, but someone once explained that while *BSD isn't trademark UNIX, it definitely is genetic Unix. Linux, on the other hand, isn't Unix at all, but merely a workalike.
Right... IBM has seen the writing on the wall, putting Linux on every piece of hardware they produce. Sun also sells Linux boxen. While not traditionally a UNIX vendor, Novell has all but dumped their old operating system, switching to Linux instead.
Of course it wasn't a mutation --- the monkey is merely sick. My post was meant to refute the theories mentioned in the story post:...what if an illness was the cause of the shift to bipedal motion by our evolutionary ancestors....
As to whether the bible is right or wrong, have you ever asked yourself why so many of the world's supposed intellectual pursuits (evolution, feminism, liberalism, alternative sexual persuasion, etc.) hate God so much, and do everything to mock the bible and its believers? If there is nothing to this Book, why the vemon directed towards it?
I think these reactions are proof that the bible is real and Truth is contained in its pages. Why else would so-called scientists stoop to lies and misdirection to defend their religion?
The monkey has mutated, supposedly. Now all that has to happen is for another one to mutate in exactly the same fashion, and for the two to mate and produce offspring.
I'd much sooner believe in the bible, than sit around waiting for this trilogy of miracles to take place.
I spent all Friday afternoon and evening driving from North Carolina theater to North Carolina theater trying to see the movie.
I can't imagine why anyone would want to pay for the privilege of watching propaganda, much less drive hours to see it.
Flame me if you must, but as Michael Moore himself said, "(Americans) are possibly the dumbest people on the planet".
Me? I'm staying home and saving my money so I can send it to GWB's re-election campaign.

Our Friend, The Meter

I can't find a reference for this (google gives lots of links, but nothing authoritative), but there are exactly 2.54 centimeters in an inch. If you do the calculation (I ran it on my HP 48SX), you get 39.3700787402 inches per meter. I don't have anything that lets me do greater precision. Anyone care to calculate it?
I remember seeing this in a conversion table given out by some TA while I was at LSU. It specifically stated that the figure was exact.
For close friends, I do stuff for free. For not-as-close friends, I charge really low rates (maybe $20 for little jobs, etc.). They're happy, I'm reasonably happy... and quite often they'll give me more than we agreed upon, which always makes me very happy:-)
Ok, so what about the virii? Is anyone legally liable for not delivering malware? I would think that the law and common sense shelter the admin choosing to filter virus-laden email.
What about spam? It may not be destructive, but in USA I can think of several laws that spam violates (wire fraud, CAN-SPAM Act, what else?) --- are we legally required to deliver spam to users?
Ok, I suppose I wasn't clear in my post. I referenced 2 separate bits of Microsoft functionality that have been thorns in our sides for quite a while (those of us working toward replacing Outlook and Exchange in the business network, I mean).
Mozilla talks to Exchange, besides being able to do POP3 mail. A colleage showed me this, but I didn't try it for myself. I think I saw docs about this on mozilla.org though. MAPI or IMAP? The docs can tell you which it can handle.
A related issue is the need for an Outlook-replacement to import.pst files. Mozilla can do this, and get all of the folders right, as well as attachments. This was not always so.
Personally, I'm hoping that the Ximian Connector is able to talk to the plain-jane Kolab server (which is the engine in SuSE's OpenExchange Server). I don't care to work with Exchange at all, but if I can't replace it, at least we have a few free clients that can interoperate with it. Another one of the contenders is Aethera, which also talks to Kolab.
Another critical issue is calendaring. I've seen WebDAV solutions for Mozilla, but Kolab handles this nicely.
My company offers several options for businesses looking to migrate off Outlook and/or Exchange, but I really like Kolab and have followed its development since the German government put its foot down and demanded an Outlook/Exchange replacement a couple of years ago.
"Prediction: Either MS treatens them and they pull it. But the source is out so -pbbbt-. Or expect the next big free software suit to arrive. And it will be pulled, but the source is out so -pbbbt-"
...except for the fact that Mozilla's email client has been able to talk to Exhange for at least 6 months, to my knowledge.
Mozilla is able to import everything from Outlook's.pst, so I'm assuming that at some point Evolution is also going to be able to do this (or does it already?).
Boatloads of companies, organizations, local governments, and even nation-states are dumping Windows entirely (NYSE, Home Depot, that city down in Florida, Germany, Israel, China/Japan/South Korea, to name a few).
Sure, he's right about things here in the US, and possibly large chunks of Europe, but there's a move afoot to migrate from Micros~1 products. He mentions a big herd coming after Linux, towards the end of the article, but I'm of the opinion that Linux + OSS adoption is the event that cripples the MonSter.
Having said that, we should have expected that Gates would not take the revolution lying down. Swallowing or gutting Sun is certainly good strategy for him.
However, you can still install many applications if you're not root, by installing them to your home directory. Generally, source code is compiled by running
./configure
make
make install
Generally "make install" will put stuff in/usr,/bin, etc., but you can sometimes choose to install the program elsewhere besides the default location by running "make install DEST="/path/to/some/other/directory"" (this syntax may not be totally correct, I'm shooting from the hip here), which can certainly be in your home directory.
Many simple apps can be installed this way, but larger and more complicated ones might not. YMMV.
Can someone please tell me how a huge chunk of carbon (even one that big) can be detected from 50 light-years away? Carbon doesn't give off electromagnetic radiation, and about the only thing they can detect from that far off is going to be a star or other hot object.
Are they claiming they're seeing light transmitted through the thing, from yet-more-distant stars? Sorry, I just don't buy it.
It's not that... there are numerous holes in it. Besides being written in.NET as the next guy down noted, there are unchecked data issues and the like. I noticed a bug in the messaging system... I had to log out in order to actually view the messages Orku was telling me I has waiting for me.
Then there's the issue of it being hacked. Sometime early Sunday morning it seems that some enterprising soul changed the default community icon to (I'm not making this up) the goatse pix. Sunday afternoon they pulled the site down, I guess because enough newbies complained about seeing images that'll take years to forget.
Novell knows (just as IBM knows, etc.) that their old proprietary stuff is out. They've ported all or at least most of their applications stack over to Linux, so netware isn't needed. Hence, they can remain a viable company, since their stuff once again works with real-life networks.
I had always heard they recommended just that... then 2 weeks ago I called Dell for a client, and was told to reformat and reinstall. In a very calculated manner, I basically blew up on the guy for not caring about my data.
Oh, and two transfers later, I finally had a hardware tech walk me through diagnostics which said my drive was bad, which they replaced.
I'm all for Crossover Office, but if you're putting out money on a per-seat basis, why not use Ximian's Connector to interface with Evolution instead of that horrible Outlook mess?
While we're on the subject of Exchange, the Connector will also enable you to use Evolution with the Kolab server, IIRC, thus allowing you to chuck Exchange entirely.
I'm shooting from the hip here, so if I get this wrong, don't shoot me..
First, set up your NFS as normal, between your *nix boxen. Once you have that, set up the exports you just mounted as samba shares. The windows boxen will be none the wiser.

Argh... the link got eaten. Here it is: Orkut Cajun Food wiki.
Another blatant plug: I started a recipe wiki for my Orkut Cajun Food community.
I've had a NetBSD 1.6 LiveCD sitting in my briefcase for about a year now. Why are these people claiming to be the first ones to do it?

Not to ignore the rest of your comment, but wouldn't initially setting $secure to a null value solve that problem?
// do something very important.
<?
unset($secure);
if ($login='Admin' && $pass='19ak129')
$secure=true;
if ($secure)
{
}
?>
Or [windows key] + r (does that still work under WinXP?).
Oh, and two transfers later, I finally had a hardware tech walk me through diagnostics which said my drive was bad, which they replaced.
Two? Which two? SuSE I know about... are you referring to Ximian (which is a desktop shop, not a Linux distro)?
