    Sprint is merging with Nextel, not Verizon. This makes less sense and they are looking to essentialy keep two seperate networks running.

    never understood the argument that God "tests" people. If He is all-knowing and all-seeing, He already knows what you're going to do, so what is the point in actually doing the test?

    Simple. Man has free will. God cannot take that from you.

    My company, a BIG Wall Street firm, is currently testing LINUX to replace Solaris as our server OS.

    This is a good thing. My company gets to save few bucks (they need to after paying all those fines last quarter), and we developers will get to keep a UNIX like environment.

    Hmmm... Solaris OS software itself is free, so no savings there. I think you mean save bucks buying intel hardware rather than sun hardware and support.

    As another poster mentioned, sunfreeware website to get the GNU apps and tools. As for edits to change the ip address. There is no /etc/ifconfig, but /sbin/ifconfig to change it temporarily. it's not /etc/nsswitch, but /etc/nsswitch.conf. Actually, to change the ip, you just change /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname.interface example, /etc/hostname.hme0. and that's it.

    it's not really dumb to change the ip, it's just different.

    The reason for the spam is because of the prepaid internet access common in asia! You buy those prepaid cards, in malls, and you are totally anonymous if you buy in cash. As discussed here, the spam therefore come from asia, but the content of the spam is from the US.

  13. Re:I'd hate to be Sun right now... on Solaris 8 Essential Reference · · Score: 1

    Everything you have said is correct. I'm
    a solaris and linux sysadmin and I know
    what you are talking about.

    The only thing that keeps sun profitable is
    the enterprise market where they have a strong
    prescence.

    Keep that away and they are dead. Hope sun
    realizes this and they better innovate and
    keep the ante on technology... be it hardware
    or software.

    Well now... how can we read the news if it's slashdotted already?

    Almost all the sites that I have visited a couple of months till now that is linked to slashdot is slashdotted to death! cnet, nytimes, zdnet and a few sites seems to be immune though...

    Can the editors at least put a mirror web page?

    I could see that Miguel is a visionary. visionaries are *always* scorned by alot of people who don't understand their ideas until you give people a few years to assimilate the ideas.. then they understand.

    from http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6527632.html? tag=mn_hd

    "Miguel de Icaza, Mono founder and Ximian chief technology officer, said in an interview that he believes Microsoft's technology is worth emulating."

    The keyword here is *emulating* the .NET strategy. Miquel wants to have an alternative to this .NET technology. not embracing Microsoft as a corporation, but the .NET technology.

    Hey, even R. Stallman another visionary, endorsed mono! the alternative to .NET.

    and another quote here:

    "the move could increase the importance and popularity of the .Net strategy while diminishing Microsoft's control over the software itself. With .Net, Microsoft plans to sell its services such as address books or e-commerce, as well as the software plumbing that powers those services over the Internet."

    You want MS to control the way you want to use the internet? and be potentially a big brother to everyone? you want your freedom and privacy away?

    so instead of bitching about what Miguel has done, he tried something about it... an alternative to .NET.

  16. From a subscriber of 3web on Canada Post Kills Free Internet-For-Life Program · · Score: 1
    The service sucks right now in Toronto. I get a disconnection every 15minutes from a 56K dialup. But what can i say? it's free so I can't complain.

    And their disgusting ads which sits on the top of ur screen, u can't minimize or remove it, takes approx. 30% of your system resources on a winblows9x/me. That's why even if you have 1Gb of ram or 1Ghz of cpu, in ur peecee, you'll still crash your system by opening say, 6 Internet explorers.

    Lame software. u say upgrade to Linux or windows NT/2K? it's not avail. for that OS! tsk... tsk... lame just lame.

  17. Microsoft is going to take over the internet... on .NET has Open Source Competition · · Score: 1

    With their windows2000 server and .NET technology, MS will try to take over the Internet as you know it. With almost 80%+ legions of drones using the MS OS all over the world, It's not far fetched. Think of it if MS wins in this .NET technology... what will happen?

  18. You have a choice... on Former Dot-Com Workers Crowd Homeless Shelters · · Score: 1

    And they opt to go to a homeless shelter. That's their choice and everyone is sensationalizing it?

    If what they say is true that they can't find a job, the internet economy is down, etc. Then why don't you reinvent yourself by finding a non-technical work or going to other states like phoenix.
