People I've know who've quit both smoking and chewing tabbaco at diferent times consistantly said quiting smoking is easier. I assume that when chewing, a higher amount is absorbable, when smoking you get a higher, quicker peak dose that doesn't last as long.
We use SCO at work and they are pissing me off too. In all honesty I told the boss, SCO is sueing IBM, IBM will crush SCO and pave them over. Now we are replacing our SCO aplication server with a WinXP and a new application, we are a dental office and a vertical market for software. This used to be SCO's bread and butter, multi-user apps in dental/medical/vetrinary offices, restarants that sort of thing; now all gone these people are leary of Linux and now petrified of SCO leaving them without OS support again. I think all these types of markets will go to a microsoft based application, as their hardware gets obsolete.
If Microsoft isn't behind this, they should have been, SCO wins Microsoft wins, SCO loses, Microsoft wins!
Why would pcAnywhere be need since it already has remote desktop? Cool, right now I'm upgrading SCO (double YUK) serial line over cat5, to WinXP over ethernet (YUK), and the training synopsis listed PcAnywhere, which made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, like it did the time I saw 5 tornadoes in the sky at the same time. Given its track record maybe we will be lucky and not even need it installed.
must be becausse the catagorising people figure that
1. installing linux is more difficult than installing windows, ever do that lately, Linux realy is much easier now, and its legaly cloneable.
2. Linux requires more training because it's new/different, of course most people that consider themselves computer literate, I'd rate as computer illierate irregardless of OS.
They are not going to audit anything, at least if you define an audit as measuring hard numbers generated in the real world; at best they are going to generated estimates based on a overly optimistic MS numbers vs. overly pessimistic Linix numbers.
Want to get real TCO, take all the users in 2, 20 person depts, give them both comperable OS/Application training, then track everything for five years, that'll give you an idea on TCO. My guess is that just doing the training would drop the MS TCO 20% from their current MS TCO, sort of the difference between peeps thinking they know what they are doing, and knowing or knowing that they don't know.
I have a hard time believing that the tco of a Linux desktop will even be close to the tco of a windows unless the windows boxes are totaly locked down; my experience with XP is its remarkable stable for a MS product until the users start individualizing and getting crap installed from the internet, spyware, the virus/worm of the week ect. Of course this kills the functionality that Ms touts with its FUD. I don't even know where to begin to lock down a winXP box other than simpley setting up an admin account and removing admin privelages from users. Of course that dosn't make any sense unless you get virus protection at $29.95/yr/seat, a firewall program at $29.95/seat, PcAnywhere so the admin isn't running 10 Mi a day to admin the machines ect. In Linux installing with permissions set to paranoid is about as locked down as you can get, and most of the extras that windows needs is all ready in there or un-needed.
OBTW 20 min to log in screen; I'd look for a hardware problem first, then run spybot search and destroy because if it started suddenly, likely something broke, or something installed!
my lexmark L33 printed just fine in Linux untill the printhead clogged, well actualy it seemed a little bit slow. Lexmark have/had non-open drivers/program on their website to controll thier printers in under Linux.
MS bought a few Apple G5 machines. and the next time MS buys a few Apple G5, three of them are stolen off the loading dock after they've been signed for would it still not be a firing offense? The guy just let the whole world know, 1. where the loading dock is, 2. What high value items are recieved on the loading dock. 3. physical security isn't enough to keep unauthorized photos from being taken. 4. MS extends the security thru obscurity paradigm to the real world as well as the cyber-world.
My little brother once worked at a place where he had go into the locker room, strip his street clothes off, shower, then exit the showers on the other side and get dressed in company supplied clothing to go to work, and the reverse on leaving.
Of course getting a truckload of computers at work might seem like a minor thing to some people, but telling the world where highly pilferable items like Mac G5s are recieved can make corperate security people go crazy. It's probaly not an espionage thing as much as a loss prevention thing.
Percy knows what he did, God Knows what Percy did, everybody else is guessing. It's a lot more likely that pollen from a neighbor's geneticaly modified crop blow across the property line and contaminated his crops than it is that he somehow got seeds he never bought; all other things being equal.
Oh realy, check out Spam suit to see how a Michigan man sued sears,
* Case Number: 03-73823sc
* Court: Small Claims Court, 44th Judicial District (Royal Oak, MI.)
o Phone: (248)246-3600
* Presiding: Magistrate Donald R. Chisholm
* Trial Date: 2-4-2003
* Award: $539.00 (including court costs)
If you read the law you'l see that the definition of a fax machine revolves arround the capability, not the actual use as a fax, and that it makes unsolicted messages to a telephone facsimile machine illegal. Make forged headers criminal, now we can easily track the suckers!
Let me send you a couple of "Ecards" muhahahah! Seriously, the wife sent me a few Ecard to an account that I actualy try and use and it gets about 200 spams a day, the account that I use as spam-bait get about 3.
If its criminal to forge headers, then I can track them easily and possibly sue them for $500 in small claims court under the junk fax law.
yes spam is illegal now because your computer is capable of sending/recieving, print or viewing a fax so any unsolliceted message to thae computer is illegal weather the message is a traditional fax or not. This is not just hypothetical but has stood up in at least Michigan courts. With real headers, we can track them down and take their money, no money, no spam simple. My Yahoo account had 29 messages in the inbox, 4 spam that slipped through, and 1109 spams in the bulk mail, all spam,that approaching 5:1 ratio!
There is a canadian farmer being sued by montsanto for have a crop contaminated by montsanto's seed stock. Montsanto actualy tresspassed onto the guys property, stole seeds from his crop for genetic testing and later sued him for have a field that was 20% contaminated.
OBTW, heirloom seeds are big business, seed prodicers will pay big busks for them; the undomesticated corn is probably worth millions.
The web site, Slots website, said patent applied; which is not the same as patented, or patented and withstood numerous court chalenges.
the bottom line is, you can buy a dove-tail jig, so its obvious the jigs to make dovetail jigs have been arround for I'd guess a century or two. Somewhere along the line somebody either got a patent that expired long-ago, was turned down due to art prori or lack of unobviosness.
You can't purchase the product, only the license to use the product, you must be a purchaser of the product to use as per the license agreement. therefore nobody can you the product!
Not only can you not use it if you didn't buy, the un-buyable device, you can't use the jigs it products.
Dovetail jigs aren't rocket science and have been arround for almost as long as there have been cabinet-makers. I'm sure each step in the "evolution" of the dovetail joint could be considered a logical and obvious step from the previous and therefore un-patentable for that and also there must be a couple hundred years worth of prior art on this.
actualy after four hours, it's had zero bids and a reserve of $89.00 which includes 15 minutes of free support, 30 minutes if you use the $149.00 buy-it-now. Basicaly he's giving it away if you buy the support.
as I understand it, SCO is selling a license to use SCO IP in the Linux kernel
As I understand it the license is to hold you harmless for use of SCO IP in a linux system, which they I assume would also do if your Linux system actualy held no SCO IP
I think that applies to trademarks, the obligation to defend. Of course I'm not sure what it is that SCO is complaining about either, it seems to be a mish-mash of parts of copyright, trade secret and a non-disclosure contract law applied as best suits SCO's interests at the time.
Of course I can't see not make the licenses available to the general public being helpfull to their future claims for damages.
Upgrade your kernel, you'll get faster and more compatible websites" -- it sounds like an exec BS report. maybe not, if the 2.6 has a lot better context switching as in the low-latency and preemptive patches applied in that stock kernal than its highly possible that programs with a lot of treads going like a web-browser downloading 10 images + text, doing 5 DNS look-ups, and a lot of heavy-duty graphics rendering is going to run better; especialy if your running openOffice, The Gimp at the same time.
cool I just installed XFS on my 'puter at work and I liked it so far under 2.4.19 so it should rock under 2.6, I installed primarily to spite SCO and secondarily because of recent complimentary benchmarks published, I may convert another partition to JFS for the same reason!
Being able to end-run the database has admittedly got people out of a bind though. Jane (I think it was Jane) did some fancy footwork on the.mdb file in Gaston recently. I know our dealers do it. King County is famous for it. That's why we've never put a password on the file before.
Oh really is the above aluding to: A. election-fraud. B. just plain bad software from Diebold. C. piss-poor administration by some local-yocal election officials D. All of the above
access database, wow now that is highly secure, scaleable technology there boy.
I am realy going to feel confident the next time I put my ATM card in a Diebold machine! why the nexting you know they'll start building bank vaults out of styro-foam and slap a 3/4 inch thick brick on the outside to make it look real after all Of course everyone knows perception is reality.
Gee I thought phpNuke was long dead, I remember submiting patches to fix some trivial errors, (years ago) and the maintainer acted like I had personaly insulted him; next release had the same errors. The postnuke people forked off and have completely rewritten a fairly versital and more secure system. give it a look.
