Geeks are social. Dorks are not social but good people. Nerds are not social and evil.
Nerds are the Slashdotters who put on their D&D dungeon master rode to feel empowered as they post on Slashdot and call everyone else in the world losers but themselves. I like geeks and dorks, I can't stand nerds.
As for root, I leave that as csh on my *BSD boxes because the thought of having to use csh forces me to write sudo permissions for anything I need to do regularly.
What about a poorly written program run by you with an unintentional bug that ends up causing this? What about a remote exploit which allows abitrary code execution? Do you inspect every line of code in programs that you use to make sure this isn't going to happen?
User land programs should not be able to bing an entire system to it's knees. Come on, when I first started with Linux, Slashdotters made fun of Win98 because a single program could crush the machine.
Seriously, reprinting a few pages from a George Carlin book does not make you interesting or insightful. Please mod parent down for not having an original thought.
Seriously, you don't see that phrase nearly as much as you used to back in the day. I don't think you could go an article without a post saying that. Anyways, I'm no longer in collge wasting study time reading Slashdot... I'm at work wasting work time on it.:)
OSX is not FreeBSD based. It borrows from FreeBSD and recognizes it as th successor to UCB's BSD. Apple uses FreeBSD as the reference platform for "what constitutes BSD Unix". I understand more about FreeBSD than OSX but I believe OSX is decendend from NeXT which was descendend from BSD Unix but with a different kernel.

Solaris 10 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Uhhhh, because this is the final release version of Solaris 10. Previously it was only available as a beta.
Yes, I understand that most HIMS are based on old tech (if that's what MUMPS derivatives can be called), but why wouldn't these companies want to develop something of their own from the ground up?
My company's founder developed Mumps and we still use a derivitive you insensitive clod!
Serriously though, one of our platfoms looks as ugly as a DOS TUI but with more colors at least. Revelutionary sucks in healthcare. I've had users complain because a prompt moved across the screen to a different location. Add an extra key stroke to a screen and you can be in a world of hurt. Think of it, you've been entering in information to a system for years to the point that you don't even look at screens anymore. You know where you are by keystroke. Throw that off and users get pissed.
The hospitals don't care about providing the best tools to the doctors to provide the best care. They care more about charging higher fees and lining their individual pockets. I see in 10-15 years or so the entire US medical industry crashing under its own weight. It is being run as a big business instead of putting the patients first.
Do you have any experience with hospitals, and more than just one?
Some hospitals are ugly corporate behemoths like what you described. They often become that way because the were bought up by a corporation when they were a failing independent. Many hospitals are part of non-profit corporations which have the same annoying committee mentality but don't mistake them for your average public corporation (or for-profit hospital corporation). Non-profit corporations must target their income and expenses so they don't risk losing their non-profit status.
Hospital take a lot of hits when treating patients. They get them from treating the uninsured who cannot pay their bills AND from insured patients where the insurance company (by contract) does not pay for the full amount of services. If you think the remaining money is automatically passed onto the patient's bill you'd be wrong. It's not uncommon to see a substantial chunk of a patient visit go unpaid by the insurer or the insured. Hospital charges $6000, insurer pays $4975, insured pays $25. That $1000 is a loss to a hospital.
CSC does a lot of contracting in the healthcare industry and with government. Often times they hit two birds with one stone, like handling technology services for Medicares or Medicaids. Not seeing them mentioned would be more of a suprise.
You have no imagination. What if one of the machine's regular users is malicous? Hopefully they are not but you can't know what is going on in every user's head.
Simple, yet possibly one of the few comments that actually understands what OpenCVS is about. OpenBSD will be using CVS for some time, why not have an implamentation that they feel is more secure than the standard?
Newer Gnome apps use gconf schemas. You either force all Gnome apps using gconf schemas to install in the Gnome prefix or you force gconf to search the entire system for schemas because the user my have installed the package anywhere. The former is obviously better since you are not searching your entire fs for a few small particular files.
Windows doesn't have the same PREFIX and file type specific directories concept that *NIX does. (bin/ for binaries, lib/ for libraies...) Windows programs typically install most everyting in their own unique directory. That's why relocating the install directory in Windows is so much easier. I don't see the *NIX way of organizing files leaving anytime soon.
Many software packages cannot be relocated to a different prefix once compiled because the install prefix gets coded elsewhere into the program or related files. Spend time building packages yourself and you will see that from time to time.
MFCed stands for "Merged From Current". It means that something from -CURRENT was backported to -STABLE. For example, if bugs are found in something while working on FreeBSD-6 and they exist in FreeBSD-5, the fixes from FreeBSD-6 might be MFCed to fix the problem in FreeBSD-5.

Nevermind, OpenBSD just switched root's shell to ksh for 3.8.
0 50328171714
http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20
Here are the most useful commands when using csh as a regular user...
/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/ksh
OpenBSD:
% chsh -s
FreeBSD:
% su
# pkg_add -r pdksh
# logout
% chsh -s
As for root, I leave that as csh on my *BSD boxes because the thought of having to use csh forces me to write sudo permissions for anything I need to do regularly.

Other way around, pkgsrc supports DragonFly. Just as pkgsrc supports FreeBSD but that doesn't imply FreeBSD supports pkgsrc.
And someone mod the other reply to this up. Whoever modded it down is retarded.

Audigy support is already in 5.3. It was not in 5.2.1 though. I'm using an Audigy on 5.3 right now.
