Man, that is pure idiocy. You probably have plants in your house and they cant tax you for them. They tax WHEN YOU TRADE. Not when you grow!
If you had a legalized gray market for mariguana (like in california), you DO TAX IT by taxing whatever takes to produce it and put it in the hands of the buyers.
The idea is to take the joint out of ARMED MAFIAs hands and into NON ARMED POTHEAD HIPPIES that you can tax to your hearts content when they trade and grow the damned thing.
NO, marijuana use will never, ever end unless its replaced by something (and all replacements until now are much worse in their effects). The choice is between giving 50k million bucks to the mexican/russian mafia (which kill not only americans, but also infiltrate and hurt MY COUNTRY -im a mexican), or give it to some harmless hippies that will not have a gun or live in the ghetto.
We will all be, eventually, old people. And we wont want to pay for, nor we will be interested in, that crappy holistic multiversic quantinet our kids will happily plug in their brains.
I say leave the elders alone and let them buy their paper and sit at the diner and chat amongst friends over a cup of joe.
The net, contrary to all that idiocy, does not automatically make you or anyone smarter, better or more productive. Hey, Ive seen pretty good arguments -Giovanni Sartori- that point in the other direction for some cases, and what I see being done to language in SMS messages by youngsters makes me want to send them all to linguistic concentration camps.
Why this strange neurosis on trying to get everyone to facebook their ass?
I dont really get social networks actually, I think they are the worst to ever happen to privacy and will eventually cost us individual freedom.
Now youtube is another story. I like that one and their pr0n equivalents (better).
So there: people that dont want broadband perhaps like real life better and im not sure thats bad at all.
And about the posix thing, i dunno, but since locate et-al are (methinks) posix defined, perhaps changing the behaviour of updatedb would break something of the standard. Im not sure how all other unices handle that, but I remember BSD having a similar way to work.
We have that (tis how beagle et-al works), its just that updatedb has no knowledge of it and, methinks, would probably break something of POSIX if it did.
Look man. Go ahead and tell them to try. The penguin isnt going away cause of some mean ads by sun. Many have tried to seriously cause damage and theyve been proven wrong at the market (the MS smear campaing of many years spring to mind).
I know that yes, solaris has something to show for it, but software is software and thats all it is. Aix and HPUX have something to show for themselves as well, but their parent companies didnt clinge to them like they were the cross's nails but quite the contrary: they recognized the value in open source development model and made linux stronger and stronger to the point that it makes little sense to pay for ultraserious unix when 90% of everything is just plain not ultraserious and the part that is can be worked arround by some nice farming and horizontal scaling on lintel.
Yes, we farked them up beyond all recognition: time for them to recognize it themselves and move strongly to the strategy that worked so well for IBM and HP.
Well, i like it as much as any other nix. THing is that they took ages in opensourcing it: too little, too late, and then the penguin ate their lunch.
Its not that I dont like it, its just that it aint gonna get much in traction cause most of the wetware is long gone and posting all over kernel.org: it would be too hard to get them to work in solaris.
The diff is, IBM has no problem killing AIX for most of the market: theyll hapily sell you Linux and tell you their services rock for it (and they are getting better, but it wasnt always that way). Sun clinges to solaris like if it was a tecnical miracle and hey, look at linux, they aint that much different and that counts at the market.
And in this times of crisis, im just waiting for the gartner analysis that defines how did OpenSourceized IT shops versus full sun/unix/ms shops.
Now thats gonna be a mean study and will signal, finally, that the server is penguinland.
Thing is, they shouldve killed solaris and become a full fledged Linux or BSD shop with enormous expertiese on Unix and great services built on open source java. I think they probably could still pull it of, albeit with an enormous ammount of pain.
They misread the game and didnt wanna get their feet cold: this is what happened to them.
Kind of whats going to happen to microsoft and what is happening to music and movie distributors.
This bussiness model is about packaging community made software and getting it ready for prime time by adding value add "stuff" (training, QA, support and consulting).
Some communities make money of their stuff, some dont... who is the oportunist?
It depends SO much in what people are trying to accomplish that the discussion is NOT worth it.
I mean, if im a designer, the mouse is better. If im a programmer, the keyboard shortcuts will be the best way to not loose the rythm (yeah, there is rythm in this bussiness).
If Im a bussiness exec, I dont know why I have a computer.
I think tolerance does not mean acceptance and does not entice abandonment of racist or homophobic religious views.
Tolerance means that you can think what you want, but you shan't, ever, bring those thoughts to political action in any way that hinders the rights of anyone else.
Big difference there. Otherwise, youd be advocating a government that tells you how to think, and thats not a good thing.
Having said that, I think homophobes are closet cases and racists are plain idiots.
I would say whomever configed that samba, fucked up.
Samba is WAY faster than most Windows based CIFS services although there are things that it doesnt do, but thats natural as microsoft still grips to the client and servers like its life depended on it.... come to thing of it, that should read "because" their life depends on that.

UNDERSTOOD?
The large reptile can have my data. No problem with that at all.

And daddy has nothing to do with that?
Yeah.
Torvalds has kids too, but they will be karate champions AND penguin hackers.
HOHO, take THAT!
(here is to hoping you have a sense of humor)
True, true...
And about the posix thing, i dunno, but since locate et-al are (methinks) posix defined, perhaps changing the behaviour of updatedb would break something of the standard. Im not sure how all other unices handle that, but I remember BSD having a similar way to work.
Actually, while I do somehow sped more time at home on my Windows gaming box than under Linux (so this isn't a blanket Windows bashing,)
I just stopped reading right there.
We have that (tis how beagle et-al works), its just that updatedb has no knowledge of it and, methinks, would probably break something of POSIX if it did.
Nice is for nice proceses. Those that go all crazy on IO are brutes and should be turned into zombies by shooting in the head (-9)
But rather than just checking SMART, get the manufacturer's test program...
Those never work on servers. I can generaly diagnose hd faliures way before HP/IBM/DELL thingies start ringing that something is wrong.
I dunno, perhaps is diferent on laptops and stuff.
Oh... did you get the new super 30 megabytes drive with that?

Mr Period3, sir, I fail to see your point.
Thing is, they shouldve killed solaris and become a full fledged Linux or BSD shop with enormous expertiese on Unix and great services built on open source java. I think they probably could still pull it of, albeit with an enormous ammount of pain.

HUH?
Who are the risk takers and who the opportunists?
This bussiness model is about packaging community made software and getting it ready for prime time by adding value add "stuff" (training, QA, support and consulting).
Some communities make money of their stuff, some dont... who is the oportunist?
Yeah... its an incremental improvement with the same pricetag as the previous one. Linux is exactly the same...
Now what was I thinking about?
In 3d accelerated applications/hardware it very well damned fix'em.
It depends SO much in what people are trying to accomplish that the discussion is NOT worth it.
I mean, if im a designer, the mouse is better. If im a programmer, the keyboard shortcuts will be the best way to not loose the rythm (yeah, there is rythm in this bussiness).
If Im a bussiness exec, I dont know why I have a computer.
The thing is that back then that was the law.
Law was here way before the dark ages. And kings back then got to write them, break them and bake them.
I think tolerance does not mean acceptance and does not entice abandonment of racist or homophobic religious views.

A bold statement when one considers Mr Bush.
Who the hell praised bush?
And still, we have cannonical approaching 30 million, redhat approaching 500 million dollars in revenue and novell going for 250 million.
Why do you thing marketing is needed?
I would say whomever configed that samba, fucked up.
