No, really, I know light speed changes. c is just for light in a vacuum... This is really neat stuff, and I hope this becomes a leap forward in understanding quantum mechanics.
I make/usr/local/staffbin writeable by group staff, and add users to that. The paradigm becomes./configure --prefix=/usr/local/staffbin
make
make install (no root needed)
As for exactly what you noted, you would want to use su without the hyphen, or you would have to change directories before your make install.
Using Arwen for this scene was actually (IMO) a stroke of genius, because it avoided introducing a throwaway character and allowed the movie to introduce the Aragorn/Arwen romance...
I thought it was good too that she was responsible for the flooding of the wraiths. To use Elrond for this without his formal introduction into the story would have lost most people.
More annoying than hearing "What language do you program in?" is "What school did you attend to learn all this computer stuff?" How about years of trial and error and late nights and weekends on computers while everyone else partied?
As for the language -- my programs are usually small and foisted on the web, so perl, php, bash, csh, sql, and c.
I have even used Pascal recently -- but that was just to modify some earlier made code.
So, when Compaq took DEC over there was some bad feelings about the future of VMS and UNIX with Compaq. It seems that Compaq has done a decent job keeping TruUnix going, but VMS has left the limelight. Now, HP has taken Compaq. Will the death of HP-UX mark the ramp-up of HP to work more with Linux on Intel chips, leaving the vintage Compaq workers with the unmarketed TruUnix?
Which of the states in question have aligned their principles to remove Microsoft products from their usage in state departments? How many constituents of those states have upgraded to newer Windows products with a purchase of a new computer in the time this debate has been festering?
I think it is time for Microsoft to exercise their power granted by the EULA, and revoke the licenses of the government to use Microsoft products. How many judges use Internet Explorer or Microsoft Word? How many form letters come from Department of Motor Vehicles via Word?
Just because RoadRunner does not support Windows XP today does not rule it out tomorrow. Remember that a lot of people have Macintoshes, and I don't think that RoadRunner directly supports them either.
Frankly, I am tired of hearing what operating systems are supported by Internet service providers. I am going to install DSL on a Linux box tomorrow night -- knowing that others have this working in the area, and was told by technical support with Southwestern Bell that this is impossible. Impossible! They did not say they wouldn't be able to support me -- they simply lied and said it would not work. How many folks with Macs or Windows XP are being told that they will not be able to use services? I am fairly sure if you pop in the CD you got from your ISP with Netscape 4.05 or IE 3.0 everything will work just fine on XP.
I for one would be glad to see Google aggresively tackle this. Professionals love newsletters and discussion forums and indexed information, and pay for them regularly. Doctors use RxNet or Rhombus. Lawyers use Lexus-Nexus and Westlaw. People use online phone books that cost money as well.
Anything that will fund Google to become more of what they already are is fine with me.
"Digital Broadband" (fixed wireless) was also deployed by AT&T as a local phone service. People switched over from their local telco to AT&T and now will have to switch back.
This was not all it was cracked up to be. First, the pricing (about $35/month with free long distance intrastate) was only guaranteed for one year. Pricing could then go to whatever they wanted to charge. Also, in this area anyway, they came in too late to compete with other accepted technologies for Internet access -- cable, ISDN, and DSL.
Personally, I would like to see cable expanded to more rural areas and everything go to cable modem and eventually cable telephones.
DOn't use binary-only modules then. If the vendor won't release the source, buy from a competitor.
I will remember that in the future. However, that is like saying you won't buy a car unless it is American made. There is no such animal -- and so you have no choice. It is like saying I won't buy gasoline unless it is safe for the environment -- guess you will be biking. I was forced to put up with what options were available. Companies purchase things and only later find out how restrictive the vendor is -- by then it is too late.
I currently use 2.2.19. I would like to go to 2.4.x, but have too many devices and programs that would not work. Now they are talking about 2.6. When will it end? I mean, one of the beauties of Linux is the development, but I end up having to wait behind because of equipment that won't fly.
The machines I am about to mention are behind firewalls, so don't get your hopes up about exploits. But, I have several machines with specialized equipment that will only work in 2.0.33. They have binary modules, and I don't have the source to them, and the company is now out of business with no further development. This has struck a major blow in my ability to offer Linux solutions (unless I can demonstrate a non-Beta, long history).
I am wondering if there is any distinction between Yahoo, Yahoo! and Yahoo.com. It seems to me that there would be, but not many people in judges' seats know about strcmp.
On another note, I liked his movie about Einstein.
I have long wondered why we don't have neighborhood-supported Internet access. Where I live, though, a new subdivision was coming up where people would have the funds to pay for this type of technology. It was not a bad deal:
Unlimited (virtually) email addresses
Unlimited (virtually) web space
Private, backed up file areas
T-1 Internet connection
NAT technology, no proxy
The problem was with everyone not wanting to pay. It would have been T-1 access to every home for about 70 dollars per month. Every home built out there would have a 24 port hub and CAT 5 wiring as part of the house.
I have also wondered why this has not caught on, considering hotels and dorm rooms at schools have this technology implemented just fine.
I have some instances of companies I work with using Linux over Windows:
One bank uses 3 Linux workstations for document scanning, using Tummy Software xvscan. The images are set in a PostgreSQL database, and retreivable bia a web browser. They purchased this system with the custom software saving over $15,000 compared to the cheapest Windows solution they could find.
I know of a bank that uses Star Office on Linux for Microsoft Office training machines. Having Linux on the computers keeps the trainees from loading software, and the two office suites are similar enough for basic training. There are ten training workstations.
A law firm that uses two Linux workstation, a Mac, and Appletalk/Samba on Linux for a server. They also have custom database applications for billing and client records.
A financial planner that has a Linux Internet gateway that later turned into a PostgreSQL database for stock tracking and analysis. He still uses Windows for his workstation, but in addition has a Linux computer using the quote program to get stock quotes.
A pet store using Linux exclusively for point-of-sale and server. He replaced an old SCO system, and did not buy a monitor for his server, so he connects with his vt320 terminal.
An outdoor advertising company has replaced two Windows computers with Linux, and are loving them. They don't know anything about Linux, but like the stability of their applications, and they saved a bundle.
My company has been working on custom Linux applications to replace Windows. I hope there are many chances in the future to suggest Linux.
Again, not a bad thing, but we don't want to be misguided into thinking that these lawyers working pro bono support our causes.
Do you think Keker has a shot at making dough on a countersuit or wrongful imprisonment suit? Also, is there any legal recourse against Adobe for starting this?
I actually welcome this type of advertising. If advertising keeps web sites free, this is the best way to go. This way, when you actually get to the site, you just have the content on the site, no more annoying advertisements. It would be nice, though, if you could register with advertising agencies so advertising would be taylored to the things you enjoy.
For example, I do not like the outdoors or games. Why show me camping information or video cards? I do like gambling in Vegas -- show me some banners for deals offered by casinos.
I never was a Star Trek fan until I saw some of the movies. Even then, I only cared for a select few of them.
I watched Enterprise just to see what it was like. I really thought that it would dive into explaining how technology evolved to the point where Kirk was using starships. I was put off that the Vulcans seemed to be sheltering us from ourselves, and laughing inside that we are to be so primitive. I was expecting some trial and error with the transporter -- something akin to the remake of The Fly. I also did not care for the shower scene. I mean, that is one hot Vulcan, but I do not think we need this to be like every other sitcom. Honestly, most people have pay cable or satellite, and can flip over to something steamy.
Overall, I liked the concept, and think that special effects work will look great. I like going back in time if done well (Phantom Menace?). This just did not stike a chord with me.
I think that Caldera is doing something positive here. For the first time, a company will attempt to meld an open-source (and free) operating system with a commercial one (Openserver or Unixware). I realize that this release is not it, but future ones will be, and this should help pay for that.
I use Slackware pretty exclusively, and always install from my downloaded mirror. However, every customer I set up Linux with must purchase the Slackware CD set (about $40). This is my way to help Patrick keep going. I am not exempt from this, as I have every version released on CD in my library. If I had went with Caldera, I would have those disks.
On another note, I have purchased the Tarantella Express package (pre-Caldera buying SCO). For the $600, I got Caldera eServer. I did try it out, but instead am using Tarantella on Slackware. But, I never minded having a portion of funds going to Caldera for their server Linux system.
...why did the supposedly wise Elves entrust this mission to a young hobbit...
Remember, this is mythology. Look at other stories throughout history. You see mortal men beating gods in Greek mythology.
Zeus defeated the undefeatable titans.
Noah had never built a boat when asked by God to save all the animals. Why, then, did God not just doom the planet and put animals and Noah in Heavenly protective bubbles?
Why wasn't Jesus born into an astute house with wealth and knowledge?
David was puny against Goliath.
It is a story, and teaches that even those that think the weight of the world is too much to bear can do extraordinary things. All that follows is a light-hearted story about an imaginary place. Just enjoy it...
Maximum warning. Employees ought to have between three and six months' notice before they're laid off, time enough to look for other work in a sane, secure way.
That sounds good, but you will not get much work out of people that know their job is gone in six months -- especially while they are looking for other work. You then end up fighting the urge to just fire the employee.
