We had a perfectly working mono-based ERP made in-house . Administration decided to use an old Delphi thing with sql server (that dont run on no wine, does it?) that (they say) is supercool.
We dont love it, but we had to support it and so we did.
Ive a hospital customer exactly the same, but backwards: all office is a RH cluster. All clients are thin clients. The ERP is now windows (we had a perfectly working one in Mono, but someone thought this other thingie is better).
Our integration solution?
Make the RH boxen ldap backed, put samba on them and turn them PDC's. Then get the win2k server to join the domain and do some weird things to make it actually work without utter hogging.
THen we put rdesktop on the rh boxen and each user has an icon.
Presto: they click and auth with the windows box and use the app as if it were under linux. Files and printers are samba shared so all is cool.
Because people, especially bussiness people that sign checks, still like (or dont know any better) some MS products.
Some other people have vested investment in MS based things and they are not going (nor they should if the industry can prevent it by DOING ITS JOB) to spend it all over again so that they can feel nice about themselves.
It took a couple of revolts, respect to sindicates, general democratization and say, a couple of centuries... and we still have a way to go in occident.
And then there is stuff that can only be done by humans, and also stuff that can only be done by robots (fixating high-tech silicon thingies and that sort of thing).
We shall be friends of robots. The robots are our allies.
Well... i say they should ask the workers. Im not in favor of almost-slave-labor like it happens in China, but when one thinks of a billion-people country, images of true missery come to mind.
I think it might be the case that the workers would be far worse if they didnt have a job at that sweat shop.
They are idiots, really. Most of the content of the internet nowdays is pr0n, communities (such as us) and social networks.
No succesfull social net would give up the edge of their userbase so that someone could centralize access and data. No pr0n user is comfy thinking the gov knows what he/she is doing.
This is true. Ive never understood what this boottime frenzy is all about. I work on servers that take a couple of minutes to spin their disks, let alone boot.
Of the electoral college (in the states or anywhere), but this sounds plain stupid: it would be sending Iowa's votes to whomever won nationaly, regardless of the WILL of the Iowan.
Plain idiotic.
I didnt RTFA, but then the heading must be wrong or those congressmen need to go back to school.
They should do a direct election in Iowa and send all 7 electoral votes to whomever wins the popular vote IN IOWA (not nationaly!)

Oh, they call us a communist Operating System just out of love?
Interesting, I didnt know that. Thank you!
ME?

NOT THE SAME DEAL!
Jeeze.

He he....
No man, this means microsoft is now on its knees. And Novell is proven to have done it the wrong way and now look like idiots.
A great day for FOSS!
That, or they perish.... forever.
Plenty species disapear!
Nothing that does not kill the host can do that, methinks.
It just didnt apply thoroughly until the fifties!
Oh yes... and the invention of communism (it is true: had it not be for Marx, nobody wouldve given a shit).
It took a couple of revolts, respect to sindicates, general democratization and say, a couple of centuries... and we still have a way to go in occident.
So dont bet on that.
You can kill a man with that keyboard man. Hey, perhaps the ctrl key is broken due to a hard crash in that mkting droid skull!

Its not only bad on principle, its plain stupid.
We cant kill it as-is anyway, so kudos to this guys and keep it comming!
Talk about not knowing at all what the fuck happened back then.
Minix is an OS for teaching, Minix creator Andy Tanenbaum actually told Linus his design was poor. How on earth COULD they be the same thing?
Look it up you jerk.
This "guy" is a bot. They always get the second post and i guess they are looking for first.
Id wager its a MS employee on his/her own time (or not!).
Actually making a decent OS?
How much does MS pay for this?
...and you guys wonder why you dont get the girls...
This is true. Ive never understood what this boottime frenzy is all about. I work on servers that take a couple of minutes to spin their disks, let alone boot.
No operating system does it any different... at all.
What you need is more memory.

I dont necesarily disagree with what you say here.
Ill just point out that your carpet is UGLY AS HELL.
And I Bash Script quite a lot (and even have fun at that).
