And you forgot to mention a nice automatic transmission. Because you sound like a typical American driver who wants the big engine and whats to lay back in his seat and press down on the accelerator. Thats not real driving. Give me a true sports car anyday over an American muscle car. It's easy to get 400HP from a 12 cylinder. Try getting it from a 4 or 6 cylinder. Go to an autocross some day and watch the high powered Camaros and Mustangs get blown away by the "girl car" Miatas and MR2's. And yes I drive a Miata. I wouldn't trade it for any American car made today.
Wrong. If they released a Novell version of RedHat (or Linux in general), then they would not be able to charge for it because it would have to be an Open Source OS (GLP licensing). As for the NDS support for redhat, I have not worked with it, but from what I hear, it works well.
Wrong. Just because the software is GPL (not GLP) doesn't mean you can't charge for it. Red Hat charges for their product don't they?
She won a grammy for At 17 back in the early seventies. I actually caught it on of those Time-Life CD infomercials something like Songwriters of the 1970's.
I bought my first Apple in April. I got an iBook G3 500mhz in a steal from a local Circuit City that was closing its store. I bumped the memory up to 384MB and I'm currently running OS X 10.1.5 on it. I have to admit that its a little sluggish. I installed Debian on it a while back because, well I just wanted to. Linux and Gnome seemed to be much more responsive, although the mouse trackpad was just a little to sensitive for my tastes. But I've switched back. Why? Convenience. I take my iBook to work and plug it in to the network. When I get home and open it from sleep mode, it immediately recognizes my wireless. In linux, I had to always shutdown networking and restart it.
Why would I not switch to OS X full-time? Its the hardware. The G4 just can't keep up with Intel and AMD. I've noticed on the Mac forums that most longtime Mac users don't have a problem with the performance, but those of us who have come from the PC side feel the Mac is very slow.
The thing I'm interested in finding out is whether Jaguar (10.2) will improve the performance of my iBook. If it does, I'll buy it. Otherwise, I'll stay on 10.1.5.
Unless of course, he's like some of my friends, who do nothing but complain about Microsoft's tactics, and then run out and buy the next release of the OS.
It seems like almost every book I ever bought in college was replaced with a new edition for the following semester. So I never got jack for them when I went to sell them back.
Don't buy new cd's. Period. I haven't bought a new CD in almost two years. I can't say the same for movies. So the MPAA is safe from me for now. But don't complain about the RIAA and then run out and buy some new CD's. That makes you a hypocrite. Its like my best friend who is always complaining about having to reinstall Windows on his computer because he's hosed it, but then runs out and buys the latest version everytime Microsoft releases one.
Don't buy new CD's! Go to a used CD store and buy used. And while I'm at it. Stop going to concerts too. Yes, I know it hurts the band, but dammit if the artists won't stand up to the RIAA, fuck em.
One thing you might want to do is remove the.sversionrc file from all your user home directories. I had a problem reinstalling Open Office until I removed that file.
To install Open Office: 1. Download the file ( I run debian but I downloaded the standard file from openoffice.org) 2. Log in as root and run setup/net to install Open Office. 3. Log in under a normal user account and go to the directory where you installed open office. Run setup and choose workstation install (I believe thats the correct one).
It should be. There's no corporate profit involved in the decision making. Once profit becomes a factor, it becomes the only factor. Everything else be damned!
They broke Mulder out of prison at 11:30pm. He and Scully then hopped on I-95 in Quantico, VA and arrived at the Texas/New Mexico border at 5:00am. Last I heard, it took a day to drive across Texas by itself.
Other than that slip-up, I thought the show was pretty good. Now that we have only ten years left for the human race (December 22, 2012 is the date of infamy when the aliens colonize the planet), better start planning for that party of all party's!!!
How does one begin to do migration from a totally dependent M$ shop to the least expensive options?
Uh, you install Open Office or Star Office on the computer and remove Microsoft Office. Pretty simple huh?
But if you're users are using Access, you're pretty much SOL. Same if they are using Outlook and are connected to Exchange.
If this is the case, you need to change your mail server first. See Bynari for a Linux-based group scheduling/email application.
But even then, I don't know of any calendaring apps in Windows outside of Outlook. There may be others but I'm not familiar with Windows apps anymore.
I understand your congresswoman may feel the need to write new legislation, after all, they need to feel like they are earning their salary. But we already have laws against piracy. Convince her that more legislation will only hurt the consumer even more.
No, I'm not close-minded. Linux WILL succeed if the gov't allows them to. What I mean is, if Microsoft can no longer 'force' OEM's to put only Windows on their computers, Linux has a good chance. Primarily because its free so the OEM's would love to push it. This can only happen if the Justice Dept. dishes out a meaningful punishment to Microsoft. Otherwise, Microsoft will become even stronger and probably push for laws to prevent alternative operating systems. If the OEM's are too afraid to offer Linux to the mainstream, it will never have a chance of becoming mainstream.
To get people to move to Linux, we must first get them to use alternatives to MS Office and other packaged software. Get them using the cross-platform software and then switching the underlying OS won't be as tough down the road.
The only thing that can stop Linux from eventually succeeding Windows on the desktop is either laws to prevent it from happening or not enforcing laws that will allow it to happen.
For most purposes, Sid has been pretty stable for months. I've only encountered two minor problems with Sid in the last year. Plus why is Sid considered unstable while Mandrake 8.2 isn't? They are running the same releases of software in them. In fact, Sid's software is more up to date than anyones.
Debian can be the most out of date and most up to date Linux distribution depending on which way you go.
A band doesn't have to be around very long to have a Greatest Hits album anymore. Back Street Boys have one. Bands used to put out an album every year. No chance of that anymore. The RIAA has to milk them for everything.
Yes, we'ere all for promoting the use of teflon coated bullets that penetrate bullet proof vests. While we're at it, we love hollow tip bullets too. And we like our AK-47's because those damn squirrels are tough to shoot.
Where does the NRA draw the line? I mean, why don't I have the right to own a bazooka? I want to use it for sport.
They have an OS X version of Photoshop out now. So its definitely not a question of porting to Unix. I don't seem them porting to Linux because they are Apple friendly and don't want to upset or hurt Apple's success.
Plus, what in the hell does Photoshop have to do with the movies? Linux already has the #1 animation software in Maya.

I know what it is to really drive a fun car.

You can always mount your linux drives on your OS X through Samba. There is a samba browser over on version tracker.

This is what I'm using here at work to develop a job description and application system for the Personnel department that I work for.
I'd rather listen to Barry Manilow over Limp Bizkit and Eminem anyday!
is reason enough for me not to try it.
When Britney's career begins to fade away and she appears in Playboy to revive it is when I'll be "forced" to run out and buy something of hers.
It should be. There's no corporate profit involved in the decision making. Once profit becomes a factor, it becomes the only factor. Everything else be damned!

Try and see the big picture. How do you know you want to be a Systems Administrator? And will you want to be one in five years?
Go and get your computer science degree. Plus you will never forget those four or five years. You'll make new friends.
Finally, if you can prolong your arrival into the real world, by all means do it!
I understand your congresswoman may feel the need to write new legislation, after all, they need to feel like they are earning their salary. But we already have laws against piracy. Convince her that more legislation will only hurt the consumer even more.
