Me too! I am trying out Libranet 2.0. I started out on Mandrake 5.3 back in '99. I had to give up on them when I finally got around to learning c++ and KDE. I hated the crazy Red Hat throw everything in the same directroy. One release had the bad compiler and I went off to try out SuSE. I like Libranet if I can work out a few problems I may wipe off SuSE and use it.
SuSE and Mandrake are having money problems, Progeny and Corel are gone. Slackware got kicked out to make it on their own. Well at least Red Hat broke even, at last. Selling Linux support is a tough way to make a living.
In between the pledge breaks this weekend there was a talk about China on WPR http://www.wpr.org/uoa/index.cfm
The guest said somthing about a booklet being sold explaining how to bypass the government controls. It went along with his view that China is a disorganized police state. Which was an improvement over the older organized police state of twenty years ago.
The author is leaving out technology. We are on the road to taking control of our evolution. Why wait for thounds of years to change our genes when we can do it in a few hours.
See the movie GATTACA and get a hint of this future.
Autodesk has been trying to do this this with AutoCAD for the past couple of years. The reason that it has met resistance there is the fact that every other realse has been a failure (Release 11, 13, 2000). I am worried that they will upgrade a good release with a bad one.
They say that they will have a way of backing out of the subscription upgrage. I just want to make my drawings they want a steady stream of money. Maybe I could pay them to leave AutoCAD alone.
Yes Microsoft doesn't have a particularly good record in consumer electronics. So be sure to wait for the third version. By then they will either own everything or finally hit their limits.
The new thing with AutoCAD 2002 the heavy pressure to subscribe. They are making all kinds of promises to slip stream upgrades with the subscription. The problem with AutoCAD is that every other version has been horrable. You will not be able to set out a release 13 they will have screwed up your copy with the patches they have pushed in the subscription.
Autodesk doesn't have a good record of getting things right on release. I do not like the idea of them screwing my install while they try to get their act together.
They promise only small changes on a more frequent schedule. I wouldn't be suprised to find a time bomb being planted in one of those small changes.
Mankind has existed for a couple of million years. The camera has existed for 150 years. Color prints made in the the last fifty years are fading away. Nasa has lost digital data from there early probes.
We don't seem to be learning from the history we know about now. Maybe we should just let history fade away to tall tales like those hunters did a million years ago.
Nvida might be worried that some company would pull and AMD vs. Intel kind of thing. I don't see how they could get around the patents on video cards. But VIA shows there is so much cross licenceing going on that patents might not work in chips.
Um, most cable only channels do cost the cable company. They charge between ten to fifty cents per subscriber. The cable company also has to pick up the hardware cost like you said.
So Viacom, AOL/Time/Warner, Disney, ect. gets money from the cable company and the commercials. The local cable company can insert some ads at their local headend but that is limited by the rights holder.
Yes it is fascinating. It has been over six years since I read about all the wonders that Cairo was going to give us. Well we got to Chicago. Cairo got cut down to and active directory service that even Microsoft has to say is a failure.
I have taken the position for Microsoft to put up or shut up. I am tired of the marketing give us some engineering!
Until 1994 the Bayer in the USA was not the Bayer in the rest of the world. So Bayer Asprin was made by Sterling Drugs in the USA. But the Bayer trakemark was purchased in 1994 by the German oweres of the trademark.
It has been ages since I have seen a motherboard that has a seperate UART for the serial port. Most motherboards have the first couple of serial ports comming out the south bridge chip. You fry the south bridge you are going to need a new motherboard.
Linux Today has a link to a story on canadacomputers.com called
Linux on an ancient laptop
You might want to find a notebook that has at least 32Meg of RAM. His story reads like some of my horror stories installing Linux!
I have been using a email forwarding service at www.pobox.com for several years now. It does a good job of cutting down on spam. It also allows me to move from ISP to ISP and still have the same email address.
The spam blocking doesn't stop it all but it cuts it down to one or two a day. I have redirected my pobox.com email through yahoo.com and yahoo bulk filter picks out 3 or 4 a week that pobox.com lets through.
The biggest thing that helped was moving and marking as read email that doen't have my email address in the TO: Once a week or so I can pick through the spam folder and fix up my email program's filters to take care of the email that shouldn't have gone to the spam folder.
You better check you figures. The share of tax money supporting most stations is under 25% and falling. The stations fund NPR through fees for programs.
I thought that the reason Steve Jobs was brought back was because the previous CEO wanted to convert the company to an OS company including porting the MacOS to PC hardware.
The last time I touched a Mac was 15 years ago but I would bet Jobs woould rather leave than turn Apple into a software company.
It is funny that Wal-mart and Target want to tax internet sales locally. It is funny because when they built in my town they sought and got tax exempt bonds to fund the building of the buildings. They sought and got an exemption for most of their property taxes. So they made sure that they avoided any tax on themselves and forced the rest of the citizens of my area to pick up the freight for the local schools.
Wal-Mart has formed Wal-Mart.com I have a feeling that their heart isn't in the argument. It is more than likely public relations. They want to be friendly to the local pols as they really destroy the local tax base. If the internet is taxed it will not hurt them anymore than the rest of the dot coms and may help the local stores. If the internet is not taxed and the local stores are not profitable they will be gone in a heartbeat to be replaced by a web page.

I think that it is spelled Windham Hill. I am afraid that about a quarter of my small CD collection came from them.

Actually they have had a holodeck story. They forced the aliens to give the tech to the Klingons.
I think that next week shoe is to be a time travel story. What can you say it is Star Trek.

Nothing lasts in the end.
The Internet content rating association has been around for at least six years that I know about. It hasn't made much headway in the last five years.
The US goverment should stay out but this self rating stuff is a joke.

So am I right?
www.themes.org has a cool walpaper of ASCII White but they are down again so I can't get the URL right now.

If you think HardDrake is slow just try YAST2.
Shake down trakemark holders and collect a big pay
check for their shareholders. Nice racket, who do I bribe at ICANN it get in on this.

There is the start of an UPC database at:

They are also trying to sell the software division. It is better to clear up any clouds to get a higher price for it.
