Well, look at it this way. If you couldn't, trying would be futile. Sorta like trying to get water/blood from a stone. But, with linux certified, saying that you will not even have one supporter of linux in gov't just got a little unreasonable.
You have big corps like IBM, HP and Dell saying, "it's ok." You have many countries saying "It's ok, see?" You have the US (via certification) saying "it's ok."
Seems more unreasonable to say it will never happen every other day.
I'd like to click help and be presented with some easy way to get support. If it was a phone number, put it in big bold letters. If it's only an email address, give me a form to fill out that's prepopulated w/ all the information about the app.
I hate benig on both the giving and receiving end of bad support. I hate hearing "It doesn't work." to saying, "Ok, this app is broken in such a way, how do i get around it or fix it?" and not knowhign where to go.
I still remember having an ncr scsi card (ncr875c?) who's only driver worked in linux (at the time) and you can only compiling after saying no first to ncr8xx support, then saying yes to ncr875. If you said yes to the first, it wouldn't even present you w/ the second.
And that was after the guy in france got his driver into the main distribution! Fun talking to a guy in a different time zone on just compiling the patch into linux. *grumble grumble*
Probably AMD's and/or Intel's. After all, you can't wind up with an AMD or Intel chip on your desktop w/o it originating from them.
If they cook the books, yeah, you'll have a huge error, but their sales records must be kept proper, w/ no rounding errors. If they make errors, they are paying too much taxes and what not to the gov't.. or to little.
I doubt the rounding errors on numbers THAT big would be 1% but even less significant. But there are lies, bigger lies, and statistics:)
Problem with jboss is, it tries to be too complete a soltuion. Thinks like, it's implementation of JAAS. What if I want my user to know what the particular reason for a failed login is? You have to use an extra threat to yoink the informatoin out since the interface doesn't allow you to pull it in a clean manner.
The same is not true for Microsoft versus everyone else, and this is why I despise them so. They aren't happy trying to compete on relative merits of their software. They want to compete by making sure that so long as a majority prefer their software, that everyone else has to conform to that choice too.
Don't forget the cygwin project, as well as all the other windows porting projects. I wouldn't put it past the apache foundation to put together a really kick ass webserver, for windows, in the end. One that could overtake IIS.
They declared LINUX the enemy. There have been many advanced OS's in today's age. FreeBSD, NetBSD, OS/2, BeOS...
There's one big difference between linux and the rest of them. People follow linux closer. I'm not a linux fan myself, but all-in-all, more people are linux people. And those linux people love linux for what it is. I rather the BSD style licensing.. and beos's kick ass interface.. well.. at least until Aqua came about. But that's my opinion, eh?
MS strove to achieve what linux has with so much less invested. Popularity.. maybe stability.. maybe inovation... but definitely popularity. It is MS, the proverbial king vs all his people, everyone on earth. If enough people believe the king is daft, or useless, they'll oust him and put a new one in, and put something like linux in MS's place.
And you know what the sad thing is? Linux is just the kernel of a useful system (not read os, read environment). Apache uses APL and has its ownl license. People think, "yeah, i got linux. " when what they really have, is the linux kernel AND all the gnu utilities, and other brand sof utils.
Not to downplay linux at all though. It does have the OSS license, which is one of those things that make it very hard to kill.
Not that this happened in this spreadsheet.. but I bump into it often...
Don't colour code your spreadsheets. If you type the data into a row/column and then colour code it to enhance what you've typed in, that's cool. 'cause you can't sort by colour in excel as well...
Isn't TCPA something you can disable in the bios, which you could protect? I thought it was more of a tool to prevent random users from running stuff, not the machine owners.
The input for a phone is WAY different that that of a cell phone. Using the standard ctrl-key is gone.
All you have on a phone are MINIMALLY your 12 dial keys. Using this for logging in to do really simple administration is plausable, and keys like ctrl-c would be most valuable.

That's DR-dead to you.
That kinda depends. If the data is taken from door to door, yeah. Bu if it's taken from sales records, no.
See.. this is why i'm just a stupid software architect. Stupid chemistry. Bah! :)
Isn't H1.5O illegal nomenclature? Shouldn't it be 2H30? Mabe cp30?
'cuz remember.. 8 spaces != 1 tab != 4 spaces
:set shiftspace=8 or tabstop=4

Am I the only one that is glad that my well being, that "cheating myself" is so much more important than "breaking the law"?
I won't bother debunking 3 or even talking about 2... but don't you love how they try and manipulate priorities?
Bull.

I'm wondering how resin is doing in this field...
"Snake oil?" "Shenanagins", is more fun.

I was an OS/2 user. There are are zealots behind every OS.. including linux and windows.

While MS may require it on, I'm sure it'll stay a toggle in the bios, eh?

cygwin my friend... cygwin.
Ruby is bigger in the land of the rising sun. You'd be amazed at usage "out there".
Unless you know the sendmail language, I doubt you can attest for that.
Plus, it's in perl. Perl is notorious for memory/ipc issues when run for days at a clip.
riiiight.. 'cept when you wanna do something complex.
I know.. but just trying to prove the point. Btw, tar -y is better ;)
bzippy goodness.
Of course, you can always do the reverse. gzip all the files, then tar the results together. You lose the advantage of doing ...
/tmp | gzip -c > out.tar.gz
tar -cvf -
There's no way of doing...
gzip * -c | tar -cvf out.gz.tar
That'd be fairly neat.
