Yep, I agree. Either I really did not get the point or this is really no news to me. Buut red oregon. Could somebody get addicted to giggle in an irritating way, or is this more or less a consequence of beeing addicted to smokes??;-))
the german government currently has issued a green-card offensive for foreign high-tech workers. I am sure we'll welcome those who had been thrown out.
The one's loss is the others gain i guess
Hi all,
I am german, and I read the latest news in the german media about the case.
It seems that the fair agency tried to suppress the presentation of MP3 Players in relation to ENDCONSUMERS. Creative stated that a presentation for business purposeses is NOT LIKE CREATIVE WANTS TO PRESENT THEIR DEVICES.
I can understand this move pretty good. The fair agency wants to keep the CeBit fair as a "professional" fair for business to business relations. Several years ago the Cebit has become more and more a fair for games and the average age of visitors dropped. This lead to an inacceptable bias for any professional visitior. The solution was to split the Cebit up into CeBit (professional) and Cebit Home (Endconsumer).
hmm, business is not influenced by some sort of philosophy. If you want to get Linux into the business world you need some "real" arguments. No many in the business world give a something about that their software is free. You have to get some arguments like "ROI" and "TCO" to convince a suit to deploy Linux instead of windy products. This arguments are simply numbers.... And to calculate em you have to benchmark.... Sad but true, but welcome to the real world!
Thx for posting the criterias. About the moderators it is very simple. The bad ones will soon run out of ammo. But anyway I am convinced the majority of moderators did a dammed good job so far. Dont always mention the bad things that happened. How about someone telling his comment had been upgraded and therefore had been read much more/. readers? And thats the fact even about *THIS* thread. Do you really think this thread would have been paid that much attention if not the initial post had been upgraded to 5 points???
Take a closer look on the zapped comments.Most of it is useless crap. Ok, there are victims but their count is small. IMO so far moderators did a rather good job. Moderation works much better than I expected and means so far a strong boost in comment quality.
Hi all, My personal experience with new moderated/. is a dramatic boost in comment qualitiy. Especially if you set your preference to "Highest Score up". Lots of crap has vanished. But anyway, to avoid misuse of moderator status, I suggest to make it public which comment had been down- or upgraded by whom. Anybody down- or upgrading a comment should be held fully responsible for his doing.
Total misuse of moderator status is impossible by now, because moderators just own a certain amount a points for up- or downgrading.
FYI I am a moderator myself but so far I made a very reserved use of this status. (That means if you post a reply with a different oppinion than mine, I will censor you down:-]] )
Dont take my last comment too serious!! I am a strong representative for freedom of speech, but anybody should take responsibility for his speech. I dont see why "Freedom of Speech" should equal in "Flood of crap comments". My time is scarce, so I prefer reading stuff thats worth it. Anybody interested in the criterias for moderation?/. team posted a "code of honor" for moderation, but I am too lazy to look now. If there is a strong demand I or someone else will post it to all others.

The Compaq (Digital) technician was very satiesfied with the Compaq Linux offerings. He confirmed a high customer demand for Linux-based server systems. The revealed that the German TÜV (Institutuion responsible for German cars having a certain security standards. Should be introduced in the US.;-) ) ordered 150 Linux-based servers. AFAI remember even Alphas. So far they are running Redhat on their machines but Alpha SuSE is probably not too far away.
Informix also confirmed a great demand and customer interest for their Linux offerings.
A SuSE Technician confirmend that early SuSE 6.0 had serious glibc2 signalling problems. Might this be solution for my Staroffice crashing over and over again? Therefore upgrading to 6.1 could be reasonable. The international version of 6.0 should not be affected.
The englisch expression for the German word "Stau" is "Gridlock"
All over all, the exhibitors are very satiesfied with the Cebit so far.
IHMO the SuSE booth was disappointing small. In the booth people could be piled up 10 feet high, and oxygen level was dangerous low. (What really didnt matter that much, as you had to space to breath anyway.)
Ok, soffice 5.0(1) is nice an has a high potential for getting a impressive Office app some day, but so far somebody should teach them how to deal with pointers, exceptions and memory allocations. Soffice crashed my whole system more than once by uncontrolled memory allocation / memory leaks. I suffered severe data losses, as it messed up my filesystem. Make sure xosview is always running while soffice is. You should try creating a text with more that 5 pages, chapter numbering and some pictures in it. You will experience twice as many crashes as pages are in you text. The best thing is some behavior I call it the "Crazy Cow Mode". When soffice plunges into this mode you will experience the strangest things. From pictures vanishing after clicking on them to text boxes having a undeterminable size. Only a soffice restart can help here Jeez, it is not usable. Best Regards Tobias
I absolutely agree with that. Anonymousity and right of free speech are not at all a reason for allowing AC posting. See me? I am accountable, but I am absolutely anonymous. If you AC advocates now want to reply: "Oh no, we know your email adress, your gender, or your summary", let me tell you this: "You know nothing babes, all you do is BELIEVE to know, and all you can find out about me, is because I want you to find out or I want to tempt YOU to make stupid assumptions because I like to laugh hard about your credulity" Best Regards Tobias or Candy or Bill Gates??????
From now on everybody who uses TCP/IP has to pay me a cent for every package sent. 5000 packages per day makes 1 $ refund. "Thats extremly low" said Bill Mates CEO of Microducks. :-)) Jeez, I dont feel quite tied to a patent claimed somewhere in the world.
Seems like more suits recognize the fact that: Win98/95 == Nintendo enhancement for PC WinNT == Nice Try OS Linux == REAL OS what means it perfectly to customize, easy to maintain, rock stable and even better: it is Open Source.
Given the activities of the president, it can be argued that Monica would not have been treated as well as she was had she NOT performed sexual acts on the president. It can be argued that it is necessary to perform sexual acts in that administration for advancement
Youre not seriously going to tell me, Monica *had* to do this job, because if she would have refused to do it, she would not have been treated that well?? On the one hand thats exactly my argument: She had a *CHOICE*. She *chose* to do so, so nobody but she can be blamed. By doing it she could imagine that it would bring advantages, it is a deal and she *CHOSE* to do it.
By making it public Monica was just driven by: -money -public attention -revenge -egoism -stupidity
The american president is one of the world most powerful men. *Now* everbody's laughing on him and the american nation, which allows their leader to be screwed up by a (sorry to say so) bitch.
On the other hand this statement is speculative, it cant simply be proven that she would have been treated worse if she would have refused it.
About your President: IMHO nobody more than the presidents family and Monica is affected. Monica was not forced to do anything, therefore she had no right to make it public. IMHO it can therefore be absolutely justified to not tell the truth in this case. I wouldnt have either.
Hope I will never see such junk here in the old world. It is just in line with americans demanding total privacy, but forcing their *president* to unveil his sexualities in *TV*. Think about Sadam surfing the net for reading every detail how Monika did her blowjob; laughing all night. Making your president ridiculous in front the whole world, watching live car chases, jeez you americans are strange folks.

I read that there are quite some guys out here, who are not that happy. Could you explain your position, as I can not follow you?
Whats the danger of an app you simply dont need to buy? *I* will buy one if it is native linux port.
yes but you are advocating the banning of all AC's, how is that really any different than blaming them all?
The problem that as long as AC exist, there will always be some dorks to mess up discussions. I see no other solution than banning AC postings. I am absolutely open to any suggestion to solve the problems AC cause!
and lazyness because you want all AC's banned, if you dont like them, then ignore them. dont try to get other ppl to do your work for you
How could I ignore it, as I am directly affected. A messed up discussion is worthless, no matter whether I ignore or not.
So I create a hotmail account, create a/. account from that, and then ignore the hotmail account forever more. I'm still anonymous, I just don't have 'Anonymous Coward' on all my posts. The benefit of this is..? No, I didn't think there was one
They get flamed by someone and their immediate response is to ban anonymity, even though it will do NOTHING to prevent flames. Do you even think for a second before you post this crap
Argh. Warning FUD LEVEL RAISING As an advice: I never got flamed. On what are your arguments based? A crystal ball?
anonymous idiots will stop posting anonymously and start mailbombing those they disagree with instead. Your ban will make your situation WORSE
WARNING FUD LEVEL CRITICAL!
Where do you take you knowlegde from????? Are you working for a wheather forecast company or something like that or are you a traveller from outer space?? No matter what, you loose. "Period" About mailbombs:I dont care if you mailbomb the given account all day and night. Feel free to do so.........
so why do you seem to think that baning AC's will make you immune to it Simple question, simple answer. It wont.
But I am convinced it will lower "junk/trap rate" in discussions by holding back more people from posting junk. The second time a nick posts trash nobody will read his stuff.
