Unless your in the hose, pipe, or electricity business, anytime a manager uses the word "flow" in any context be prepared for a cascading flow of bullshit. Thereby insuring that your job will be just that much more difficult.
Lets see SCO spin their way out of this one. Great research by PJ and the gang.
I also had some free time on my hands with nothing better to do than rewrite this song to fit the times. I also took a wee little bit of artistic license with it (so sue me). Enjoy.

Spin Spin Spin (The SCO Spin) (sung to the tune of Turn Turn Turn by The Byrds)
Our stock price is down (Spin, Spin, Spin)
Even if there's is no reason (Spin, Spin, Spin)
And all hope's gone for profits, this quarter.
A time to buy, a time to sell
A time to deal, a time to steal
A time to evade, a time to deceive
A time to conceal, No time to reveal
We're getting bad press (Spin, Spin, Spin)
The law suit's the reason (Spin, Spin, Spin)
And all hope's gone for profits, this quarter.
A time to build up, a time to shake down
A time to rant, a time to accuse
A time to cast away truth, a time to lie altogether
Linux is kicking our butt (Spin, Spin, Spin)
Our old code is the reason (Spin, Spin, Spin)
And all hope's gone for profits, this quarter.
A time of lies, a time of proof
A time of threats, no time for regret
A time you may extort, a time to refrain from extortion
Darl's raveing again (Spin, Spin, Spin)
IBM is the reason (Spin, Spin, Spin)
And all hope's gone for profits, this quarter.
A time to gain, a time to spend
A time to lose, a time to cash in
A time to tan, a time to smoke crack
A time for peace?, Darl, I swear it's just too late - sparkeyjames If sense were common everyone would have it!
The answer that I came up with is... Now that he is trapped in the matrix with the rest of the programs (humans etc whatever) his movtivation is purly revenge.
The actor that played Tank wanted LOTS more money major billing and probably a limo too. His limited part did not warrant this so the brothers axed his ass. Tank was not a major character in the first movie but the roll did add somewhat to the overall effectiveness of it. ERGO why pay someone shitloads of money for merly a minor supporting roll.

It was OK but those first 5 minutes were the best.
on
Spielberg's Taken
·
· Score: 1
What can you say about the opening 5 minutes of taken but simply awesome. Flying through space only to be dropped into a world war II bombimg sortie with the germans all over you. That was great stuff. (sorry for the redundancy). Unfortunatly the rest was rather lame. So far we have a colonel who is trying to keep things secret. A scheming captain who will kill to get his way. One woman knocked up by an alien. Shapeshifting and/or mindbender aliens who can climb walls like an insect. All rounded off by a world war 2 vet (see the first 5 minutes again) who can't sleep and needs a tin foil hat. One thing for sure though is that it will be interesting to see how they bring all of these parallel tracks together.
as more of a tool for entertainment, selective general news reading and for the apropriation of oss software news and resources. Which means that the speed is what matters most. Going back to dialup would be pure torture. The always on feature does not matter that much although the fact that it is there when I turn on my system and is INSTANTLY accessable is very apealing.
It's funny that reading/. falls under all 3 of my usage catagories.
While debians package management is quite good I still prefer to compile a package specificaly for my arch. The resultant speed increase more than makes up for the effort.
For server installs a package management system is somewhat of an overkill. For a server I want the most efficient system possible. This means only the apps I want installed. Usualy the base system, networking and development tools gcc etc. Plus Apache, php, mod_perl, mod_ssl and mysql will all get custom setups with compiles for each package based on what is needed and the system architechure.
If you want a ready mix and don't get the preformance you think you should have. You can only blame your own choice in Gnu/Linux systems. And yes I recompile my SLACKWARE systems completly after I install it. (aren't shell scripts nice?)
In other words learn to do it right. Any less and your no better than an MCSE.

There is too much bitch with the wine for my taste.
This is the second time in a matter of a week that this topic has made it into the/. headlines. Enough is enough already. The apache bug has been patched and was done so over 2 months ago. I upgraded my servers in less than 2 days after the bug was announced. Anyone else who has NOT upgraded his apache server by now is not in my opinion a "proficient" sysadim. But then again look how long it takes the windows admins to apply fixes to running bugged out IIS installations.
So dont go blaming this on the apache/ModSSL programmers. It's just lazy incompetent sysadmins who are causing this problem to exist.
How the hell does this one get a 5 informative. Yes I know X has antialiased fonts I use them daily. What The original post of mine meant is that MOZILLA still does NOT make use of antialiased fonts under X. It can use truetype and most other font types but they still look like total CRAP. I guess that apple threw enough programers and or money at that browser so that Mozilla would render things pretty under Mac OS 10. Yeah another troll. oh well.
Once again the X windowing system and the users of both Gnome and KDE desktop environments get left wanting. Ah well maybe someday day around version 2. Though by then we'll all be useing KDE 5 or 6 with Konqueror and Gnome 2.6 with Galeon 2.2 and we won't care if mozilla has good looking fonts under X because we won't be useing it.
I work in the Graphics Reproduction business (ie the printing industry). I deal with both the Mac computers and the (ab)users of those machines every day. I went to collage for what I do. I run 4 color process printing presses. I also built and maintain the company web/email/firewall/internet-gateway server (using Slackware linux. a shameless plug). I also maintain the local in house network of Mac's, PC's and some high end printing devices. The graphics repro business is one of Apple's largest consumer markets. The Mac users where I work beyond being educated for the use of Page Maker, Quark, Freehand, Photoshop and a few other applications are just not computer savy. They still can't grok how Mac TCP/IP networking works even after several explainations from me. Even the slightest networking error brings them running to me for help. If it is not set up for them so it is easy to use they cower in fear just like a Windows user. Are Macintosh users better educated? Doubtful. Are they more computer literate? From what I have seen NO. Do they make more money? Not where I work.
One thing I do know however is that users who use Mac's at work are more inclined to use them at home. This really is not much different that a user who uses a PC at work. They are more inclined to have a PC at home because it's what they know.

In E1 the scene is the imperial senate chamber a short flash to one of the booths of planetary reps shows about 3 or 4 ET's in a booth. It is really short only about 1 or 2 seconds but there is NO mistake.
My current firewall box runs a 2.2 linux kernel. (2.2.19 to be exact) Slackware of course. The firewall is a modified TrinityOS ipchains firewall. Before I found Slackware it was an RH 6.1 box with the same firewall code.
In the 3 years plus that I have been using this to protect my internal home network It has been broken into a total of ZERO times. I had been using dial-up for a long time and I must admit to being a little worried when I finaly was able to get an always on broad-band connection. This worrying proved to be baseless as I have had broad-band for about a year now and still NO break in's.
When my employer decided to move all web services in house. I volunteered to put it all on one linux box. It now runs Slackware with the 2.2.19 kernel custom compiled, apache, qmail and pure-ftpd. I use the same firewall code with some slight modifications to secure the internal network, but it is still mostly the basic TrinityOS ipchains firewall code. In the 9 months it has been running, it has had ZERO break in's.
I have not for even ONE moment considered the 2.4 series kernels and iptables. Since Iptables became the default 2.4 firewalling code I have seen at least 3 vulnerabilities that were considered serious. I have not however seen an ipchains vulnerability in over 2 years.
A rule of thumb for all of this would be pick the right OS make sure it has all current security patches and KNOW your firewall. Know how it works and what every rule does. Leave NOTHING to chance.
Despite the fact that I love to see a spammer take a good legal hit. It saddens me that none of you have seen the REAL legal implications from this judgement.
This allows any ISP to claim a violation under there "Acceptible use policy".
"Memorandum: Plaintiff, a marketing company that uses the Internet for advertising, entered into an agreement with defendant, an Internet service provider, to obtain Internet access services. The agreement incorporates defendant's Acceptable Use Policy, which provides that a subscriber, here, plaintiff, is in violation of the agreement if it engages in "spamming," defined as "[u]nsolicited, commercial mass e-mailing." Shortly after defendant began providing Internet access services to plaintiff, it notified plaintiff of its intention to terminate the agreement based upon plaintiff's spamming. Plaintiff commenced the instant action seeking declaratory relief and an injunction preventing defendant from terminating the agreement."
Note that this judgement does specificaly target "spamming ie mass unsolicited email" but you must think beyond just that small detail and take into consideration the larger implications of agudgeing the legality of the "Acceptible use policy" This friends is trouble with a capitol T. For instants... Say a mega large software company *cough* Microsoft *cough* with far reaching clout can convince an ISP to include a rule whereby using blah blah blah free-software is not considered acceptible use. Now suppose it convinces 100's of ISP's to include this.
The legal ramifications are ENOURMOUS.
Pray to god none of Billy's legal staff thinks of this.
From what I can see about the 2 systems is that they can and in the future probably will coexist on system motherboards. Each providing its strengths. This will probably make for a really
fast system architechure. With hypertransport being used internaly in chipsets ala the nvidia nforce and the pci3 of course for external buss communications.
