I have a laptop which I take to high school everyday to do work on. The school computers leave a bit to be desired, so I like it a little better. Lately I've been getting some heat about putting a Novell client on my computer so I can print off throughout the school. I'm not sure how this was viewed inapropriate, but the school certainly doesn't approve of this.
10 days for poking around in a network is way too harsh. The kid obviously knew what he was doing. To get that much knowledge of something he knew right from wrong. Though the article didn't say so, my bet is he didn't do anything but sniff around a little. There's no crime in that. My school doesn't even have a set suspention time for "hacking" a school computer.
Everyone in a while network neighborhood decides it's going to throw a hissy fit and not work with Samba. Then suddenly, something like this happens. "We are having a hard time understanding the how and why, but everything is working," Amazing.. The space station's problems are just like those of the rest of the world. I do however enjoy the reboot until it's fixed part of troubleshooting windows. When linux mucks up, something really is wrong.
They work hard on an open source product, then they ask people to pay for it. It seems fair to me but I seem to remember some vauge statement in the GNU, GPL, whatever saying that they had to make the downloads free.. I'm not really sure, i'm not a lisence frreak.. If I can use it and poke the source once in a while i'm happy.
Linux isnt supported by their software, big suprise. I don't think they realize the market they would expand to if the box just said "linux supported". It's incredibly hsrd to install some of the higher end palm applications on Palm OS as it is. Developers like to package their applications in self extracting zip files, with installer programs. I guess i'm pissed because I have to use a console program just to load avantgo. (fun).
I think everybody knows that redhat is one of the, if not the most widely used linux distro out there. I'm just curious as to where the fuding for providing a free apt-get service to throw out RPM's to thousands of users would come from? I'm sure that Debian may have some problems, but compared to redhat the user base is fairly small. Bandwidth does equal cash after all.
So.. I thought the whole basis of free software, GNU, linux, etc.. was to innovate? If C or C++ hadn't have been openly distributed would windows even be here? Would anything microsoft made be here if the source code for projects was available?
I'm very displeased with their comments. How can we innovate if we don't know how things work? Could windows have been made if they didnt know how other operating systems worked? could internet explorer (this is a great example) have been made if they didnt have a previous frame work to build off of??? For every question the answer is no...
Yes, I'd like to copyright the circulation of cold air over something hot... Oh! Then.. then i'm going to copyright arobic resperation. Anybody want to go in with me on this?
I'm not exactly sure what apple is going after here. Sometimes I'll see the apple logo in themes and think 'yeah thats a little bad'. But other times I just see the buttons, borders, and windows that look similar. So now they're taking them down?
It's kind of like saying 'i'm going to sue this coke company because they stole the look and feel of my aluminum can that i stored my beverage in'.
Actually i'm just pissed I got my Aqua theme deleted when I stupidly erased my.enlightenment dir and can't download it again...
I think MS is trying to screw with the linux commonities head. It's kind of like if someone says "dont think about that" thats the first thing you'll think about.
Invent a cross platform packaging system and a cross platform apt-get type system.
But you know, every distrobution seems to use different things for generating GUI's so doing this would be really complicated.
I always wondered about pluto. They'd always estimated the size as small and when you look at some of our other outer planets (jupiter, neptune) they seem a bit large.
Plus pluto is the only one with an irregular orbit. Irregular as in it kind of 'slopes' and crosses the orbit of other planets. But then again maybe other planets do the same but are so slight we just don't notice them.
I'd bet there are more objects like pluto out there that have attained a farily regular place in our solar system but we never bothered to look, or never noticed them in the first place.
Kind of makes you think if the earth just turned out to be one large asterioid that gathered mass and an o-zone.:)
I'm just curious, but why was it 'taken away' from the US in the first place?
I remember it from a few years ago but havn't seen any ads in a very long time.

With these four rings combined you will have the power to store 32 megs. *Insert electric banjo music here*

Just ignore them, and they'll go away.
