Lets face it, oil is the root of the terrorist attacks on the US. America wouldn't give a shit about the Middle East if we weren't dependent on the oil from there. The oil corporations basically dictate the types of governments that run the countries over there. That is why there is so much anti-American sentiment in the middle east.
It is my opinion that if we no longer supported Israel, all terrorism against the US would stop. Israel is absolutely hated by all the other Middle Eastern countries. And our support of Israel is why they hate us as well.
If we were to stop providing support for Israel, Israel would cease to exist within 1 year. Every other middle eastern country would attack it.
You don't realize the hatred towards Israel by the other countries in that region.
But the whole purpose of MP3, Ogg Vorbis, ATRAC and all these other digital music compression algorithms is to make it easier/more cost effective for people to steal the music they want, rather than pay for it.
Give me a fscking break. The purpose is to record your cd's onto your computer without using up all the space on it. Personally, I'd like to just have everything saved as a.wav file but when a.wav file typically is about 50MB in size, there's only so many songs you can store on your hard drive.
Its a shame that the leading Linux distributor is the one who created the most convoluted package system. But whats worse is that other distributors followed along.
I take Claritin for my allergies. Claritin is considered an illegal drug in the Olympics. They are extremely paranoid in the Olympics. But then again, countries continue to abuse the drugs. It used to be the Soviet bloc countries, lately its been the Chinese in swimming and track and field.
I think it would be hilarious to see some Chess 'nerd' get banned from the Olympics for testing positive for Human Growth Hormone. That would definitely put Chess on ESPN!
I totally agree. Any free publicity for Microsoft is good publicity. Notice these articles NEVER said what systems Code Red wouldn't affect, just that Code Red WOULD affect Microsoft systems. Microsoft is the master of marketing. They know how the American people are. We like snippets of information and news. We don't want to read the whole story, just the headlines. All we really got out of all this were the following:
worm, computer, microsoft, windows 2000, patches
Where was Sun's marketing dept? They should have been talking to the press as well.
What if its gay porn? "Not that theres anything wrong with that", quoting Jerry Seinfeld. How does gay porn run women through a blender? Just because you don't like sex, do keep others from it.
There's more to an education than programming. I am glad I took courses in History, English, Liberal Arts, Biology. Can't say the same for Calculus though. I still haven't used Calculus in any of my programs I've written. But I also learned how much beer I could consume on the weekend and still function during the week. Of course back in the late 80's, beer was still sold on campuses.
I'm buying stock in Smithfield Packing and then taking my earnings and starting a bottled water business. This is because George (bratty fratboy) Allen won a senate seat. As governor, he continually let Smithfield Meat Packing off the hook after they violated EPA regulations. The river there is one of the most polluted in the country. Plus as governor, he made Virginia the 3rd most imported state for trash. What a legacy!
And the rednecks of Virginia love him. I can say that. I've lived here all my life.
I work for the City of Chesapeake, which is Virginia Beach's neighbor. Our I.T. department just announced that we will be upgrading to Windows 2000 and Office 2000 next year inn our weekly staff meeting. I objected to this and asked why. Nobody could give me an answer other than "we don't want to fall behind with Microsoft."
I provided information on Star Office, but I think it fell on deaf ears.
My employer should keep them going!

Is Novell Doomed?

I work for a city government. We should keep Novell going for at least another 5 years as much money as we waste on their crap.
Between Netware, ZenWorks, Groupwise, and whatever else Novell has, we buy. But yet we still couldn't do a secure remote login without buying some stupid device that requires you to use some sort of card to connect with.

I think Sun's decision to open up Star Office has really scared the $%!+ out of Microsoft. Office is their cash cow even more so than Windows.
Question: Does Office for the Mac use Visual Basic? It seems to me that it will be very difficult for Microsoft to port Office to Linux since it uses VB throughout as a component of Office. They would have to make VB run on Linux as well. They of course could replace VB with perl or python. Imagine Office with embedded perl!! Might be worth it then!
Yorktown High School Linux User's Group in Arlington, Virginia is a good place to get some ideas. Those kids are getting more experience than I do in my programming job! I want to go back to High School!

The real reason is the same as IBM vs. Apple. Sony wouldn't license the beta format and RCA licensed the VHS format. Therefore more VHS hardware.

Apparently, he never changed the default number of clients in PostgreSQL. It defaults to 32. That probably filled up in the first 30 seconds.

It's no contest. Making Kelly LeBrock from a Barbie Doll is ingenious. I've been trying since then and I still can't get it right!
Has Red Hat ever considered switching to the deb package format?

Why do they need to be in your city? This is the internet. They can connect remotely. Plus are you a big corporation? Pay them the $50K and see.
.Net is supposed to be language independent but who knows if it is platform independent. My guess is that it isn't.
Sorry, cities and counties usually run payroll systems on mainframes, not pc's.

I don't trust Gore. I can't stand the thought of a daddy's boy like Bush. I know I don't like Buchanan and the others I don't know enough about.
Nader seems to be the only one with a clue about the internet. And he definitely isn't a "corporate guy" like Bush and Gore.
I'd really like to vote for Jesse Ventura. Maybe he'll run in 2004!
Nuff said.
One problem with Nader. He agrees with Buchanan on the issue of free trade. They are both isolationists in this regard.
