You should look up the facts. Tibet was pretty much a feudal state that still has rampant slavery problem when the Communist came to Tibet. So wether Chinese did the right thing by seizing control is in your interpretation.
If you go to Tibet you'll realize that most of the people involved in the infrastructure (your restaurant, taxi, hotels, shops) are operated by Han Chinese. In fact, all the roads that are there in Tibet are built by the Chinese Army.
Most people don't realize that China is a multi-ethnic country that although the majority is Han Chinese, there are other ethnic groups. The same reason that you don't call African American independent African, you don't call Tibetan independent Tibetan.
I've been a long time Redhat user starting with Redhat 6.0 all the way to Fedora Core 4. I was having a lot of problem with FC4 on my particular x86_64 machine so I went out to purchase the SuSe 9.3 Professional DVD and installed on another machine. What I found is that the default installation of SuSe is very good because it has a good balance of open/closed software that makes it very easy to use Linux as the primary work machine. After I got the hang of YaST I started to really like using it. It is more encompassing than Yum and seems like a very good balance for people who know how thing work but don't feel like always spending time treaking things. Over all, I give high mark for SuSe for the engineering. Of course there are still some problems with SuSe but so far I like it more than the current version of Fedora.
This is how it works. If you want to have the mp3 file for any Chinese song, you type in the chinese name for the song and viola you get search results pointing to the song. I belive Baidu is optimized for this kind of piracy and facilitates the piracy. In fact, I think most people who I know use the search engine for this reason only.
There is idealogy and there is practicality. I use Linux on my two workstatations at work but people I know that use IE because it's always there and it has the big blue E that people associate with web browsing. I believe in choice and sometimes people do choose to use IE (for example, some people like to use the MSN toolbar with IE). We know Microsoft is the virtual standard in this respect and they have two options: 1. Make it more standard compliant. 2. Make it less standard compliant. I rather have them choose 1 regardless of where they started. I applaud them because I see in the long run, it will only be good for the other browsers that I do use myself (such as Firefox).
Although there will be Microsoft bashing in this thread, I believe this is good for all browsers because almost all the other browsers are standards compliant. Therefore, as IE becomes more standard compliant, the common denominator between the browsers will be bigger thus more web pages will be displayed correctly in all the other browers. I appauld Microsoft for this effort although it might be a result of necessity rather than goodwill.;)
I watched the movie last year on the plane from Tokyo back to the States. The movie was interesting since it actually kept some level of suspense when the story unfolds (I don't want to divulge the plot). I don't think most animations I've watched have this level of suspense. The drawing is somewhat similar to Akira but more mature and less "weird." Although I personally prefer "Spirited Away" as it is more "cute" and "imaginary," this movie is pretty imaginative at times.
It is much easier to learn from a smaller system (minix) than a large system (linux). In fact, the minix book (Operating Systems: Design and Implementation) is very well written and the source code is very manageable for students. Also the fact that Linux is ever changing makes the learning and teaching even more difficult. In addition, micro-kernel is not bad. Just because Linux is one way doesn't mean it's the only or even the best way. Solaris has a more mature operating system and it is micro-kernel based. NT too, but that's different story.
Really. Instead of working out at home, go to the gym. It will motivate you after seeing all the other people who are trying to accomplish the same goal. You will see people who are less fit but works hard and people who are more fit and consider all of them your model. What's even better is to go to the gym with your friends. Friends will make working out a lot less boring and much more competitive. BTW, the eye candies doesn't hurt either.:)
Sun sells hardware. They don't make money of software. They don't care what runs on their hardwares, as long as they can sell the hardwre. They also have a name. Large corporations such as banks would only do business with large corporations such as Sun. They want the support that Sun can provide with their own distro.
I use it as well but I have two problems with it. 1. The cables are too short so the box is way in the back that I had to reach for the switch button on the box every time I need to switch. This actually compounds the second problem. 2. There is no keyboard hotkey switch, which makes it a hassle to remove my hand from the keyboard and go reach behind my monitor to switch. (See problem 1) Other than these, it works alright.
X looks big when you run 'top'. But the truth is that X memory maps the whole memory on the graphics card plus it caches a lot of the pixmaps other programs use. In essence, if you strip away these things that is not part of X, X is quite effient. Of course, it will never be as efficient as a stand alone windowing system, but it is very efficient considering the good things X has. Of course, I applaud the efforts for Matchbox; it looks GREAT! And it does what it intends to very well.
The reason a lot of people say that X is a memory hog is because when they run top, all they see is X. In fact, X is a hog because X mmap the graphics memory and pixmaps to be more efficient. If you take away these, X is quite efficient. Of course, for the ultimately efficiency, Matchbox is GREAT! I just want to point out some of the misunderstanding out there.

I don't know why everyone is claiming MFC is no longer in the picture after.Net. It's like claiming Newspaper was dead after TV came out. Here is an excerpt from MSDN:
It has been three years since the last major update to MFC and ATL. With all the press on Microsoft®.NET, MFC and C++ developers may be feeling left out. But don't worry--with the upcoming release of Visual Studio.NET, not only do developers using Visual C++® get a brand new IDE with tight integration for server-side development and a much improved C++ compiler, MFC and ATL have also received significant new features. The clear message is that MFC continues to be a great framework for developing sophisticated, rich client applications for all Windows® platforms. In this article, we'll provide you with a survey of the new features that you can use in your MFC applications.
There's a new MFC DLL (MFC70.DLL) that is no longer backward binary-compatible with MFC42.DLL, but your source is still compatible (although message maps have been made more type-safe, so that may break some code).
MFC and ATL are much better integrated, and common classes such as CString are now shared between the two libraries.
Header files are synchronized with the latest Platform SDK, supporting UI features in Windows 2000 and Windows XP such as themes and manifest resources, Active Accessibility®, and new common dialog boxes.
Many new UI classes have been added, including support for using DHTML in dialog boxes and enhanced bitmap support with CImage.
New utility classes can be used in both MFC and ATL applications, such as regular expressions, performance counters support, and security.
Now there's support for consuming Web Services in MFC applications and writing Web Services and applications with ATL Server classes.
High-performance access to databases has never been easier using the new OLE DB attributes and classes.
Well, Silicon Valley men to women ratio is wayyyyyyyyyyy tooooooooooo bad. I think the ratio at my company is 20:1. I heard that the ratio for NY is 1:9. Well, that would alleviate a lot of problems for the tech men. Of course, whether the nerds and geeks can compete with the bankers for the models is another issue.
First, Exchange allows you to use the web to access emails and calendar service? I found it to be faster than Evolution. That said, here is my own experience using Evolution.
I can second the previous post. I've used it in my work to try it out (I also didn't have Connector so I used IMAP. However, I have 2 issues with it. 1. As the previous post, SPEED is a BIG problem. Yes, I can work with it. But it is SLOOOOOW! 2. Since it is a Gnome product, it needs a lot of libraries (rpms) to be installed as dependencies. As my and most of my coworkers' machines are KDE based, it is a big hassle. 3. Without Connector, the calendar don't work, so I had to revert to There is one thing good about Evolution: It looks very much alike Outlook, so you are right at home if you've used Outlook before.
Try Terraspring. It is more of a platform for datacenters but I think it could be used in this case. I assume you need that many machines for computing power, but if you can make each machine with higher usage, you will need fewer number of machines.
>As for comments by people calling them zealots >and criminals, I'd take this lot over the lot of >Zealots and criminals that has been running >China for the past 50+ years any day! Maybe you would, but not the majority of people living in China. Most people in China DO NOT support Fulong Gong especially after the burning incident. (A mother burned herself and her kids to death.) China is one of the few truly atheist country in the world thanks to both the culture and the Communist Party. People do not want it to become a religous and cult-like nation.
>China is a great place (lived in Taiwan and Asia >for 5 years), but the communists have done >tremendous damage to Chinese culture (most >notably during the Cultural Revolution) YES, you are right. However, many of the positive changes in China is also the result of this despotic regime. Instead of having two parties argue over issues that never get resolved, the Community party can simply do it. Of course it is a two-edged sword but it is definitely possible to be positive.
Think.NET as a set of library that is already created for you. So when you use J#, you can use these API calls in.NET. Of course for many of the methods, you can find Java equivalent, but there are some you will have to code for yourself. For example, if you need to access the Windows registry, there is no standard way in the JDK. In addition, if you create a control in another language say Perl.NET, you are able to use it in J#.
Both SSH (Company) and F-Secure sells commerical products of SSH. But maybe if you word it differently, your management should accept OpenSSH since it is being used by many companies. My company (a smaller 100+ person) uses OpenSSH extensively.
Give the customer the benefit that if they bought the pc from you, you will fix any problems within say a year? Many people don't need support but most still do.
I have known many people in China who operates Net Cafes. For them and for most people in China, computer means two things, games and chatting. They all run Windows machines. Of course, they don't have licenses because a windows license is way too expensive for an average person in China.

I could never pronouce his name in school, and I still couldn't. Maybe his name has something to do with the fact we use ijk as index variables.
