Im sorry, i guess i shouldnt have played the comparission angle so much.
Im not saying that that DN site, or the other London site (also pretty damned cool) are not also implementations of this very same idea. I agree with you guys in that.
All im saying is that cities can be more complex because of their size and, in a way, its kind of ironic that it will be easyer to implement this in any first world country, where public transport has worked well for quite a time now, than in third world countries citie's, which are not only larger, but also significatively have much much much more caothic public transport system than any in the first world.
As an example, this kind of thing could be implemented in a whim in the following LARGE cities: - Tokio - Beijing - Paris - Los Angeles - Maybe even New York - Any Nordic city worth mentioning.
BUT, the reason that would work is that those cities have extremely good public transport systems, mostly automated, already sharing information between types of transport (like Paris, where one ticket will get you on the RER or Subway or Bus, regardless, and there are maps for established routes on using all those transports).
On the other hand, take Rome or worse Milan or Barcelona or Madrid. Their transport systems (especially the italian), is oodles more caothic than those previously mentioned. That should make it harder to implement this.
Now think Mexico City or Rio de Janeiro or Calcuta. Much more larger than any city mentioned so far, and their transport systems are not only larger (YES, there are probably more bus/minibus lines in mexico city than probably ALL the cities mentioned together, although certaintly not proportionaly), but do not have the technology in place to share data amongst transport systems, have no concept of a multi-system route (like, its established that to go from the Airport to point B you take the subway, then bus 56, then bus 47, then walk). No such thing.
So if google wants to do all that when they get here, theyll have their hands full..
Lets see if google ever gets to Mexico city. 35 million people leave there, we have 6 million cars just there, diferent companies providing public transport which cannot even be made to put adult drivers on their busses.
Google.... meh. If they ever attempt mexico city, i promise, theyll go bankrupt.
Fuck this crybabies. Its sickening to think of this 80 year old publishing house CEO's thinking... damn, this geeky people are fucking us over.
I mean: a) put your pants back on and start producing digital content that is not available to google. Safari seams to do this just fine.
b) Put your pants back on and get the hell out of the "content" business you so gleefully claim is yours. If youre so dependant on the medium of transmission, chances are youre just a middle man and the supply chain just got smarter. Your content has no value if the only thing it has going for it is that I can only get it from you.
c) Put your pants back on and start doing your job. I mean, like, editing books so that its content is consumable. Do a good job at it, and people will pay to see it. I pay for safari, id pay for whatever you have to offer if it has any use for me.
The problem with that is that the votes get counted by a human being and human beings have prejudances. Anybody who tells you that they are 100% impartial is lying.
Well... no.
In Mexico, we have a booth for every 5,000 people, elections are universal (EVERY VOTE is counted). Im not saying its cheaper, im only saying it can be done in Mexico, 100 million people here. About 70 million can vote.
The way it works is as follows: a) A neighbor is selected randomly to host the election for their district. b) This neighbor has a citizens obligation to hold the election in his/her house. There is no saying no to this. c) Parties (we have many) elect someone to be at every single booth they care to inspect. d) People go into the booth, their vote is secret. e) The votes are counted publiclly in the booth, everybody can watch every (anonymous) vote being counted, including press or just the neighbors. f)The results are then written on an official piece of paper and it gets posted in the outside of the hosting house. g)That paper has several copies, most of them go back with the whole, by now sealed ballot box, to the electoral institute. h) Adding the results on that paper for every booth tells you who won, exactly.
Okay, this is supper cool and all... but, how the hell do you keep the bacteria alive for a while. I mean, do you keep the device submerged in edta or what the fuck.
Well. Shure they have to invest heavily on that. But they could start by not chasing and firing the ones they have now.
I think that the United States PEOPLE need a while to sit down calmly and evaluate themeselves, their values, and what the fuck happened to them.
I mean. From the outside boiz, you look like a beheaded chickun. And Mr. Bush is a large aunt jemima with the large butcher knife that took it off.
And run and run you go, round and round. The poor america with her head chopped down.
What happened to this nation that was hated, envied but also respected and admired. Whats going on with the middle class people that should be educated in this powerfull nation. Cause thats what democracy is all about, education for all. At least for the majority.
And where did those ideals and their principals go? What is happening to my american brothers? What happened to the america Walt Whitman made inmortal? To commaradery, to liberty, to the value of being part of a nation of equals?
I mean. You guys had me going for a while there. I thought, id like my country to emmulate some of that good stuff the gringos are doing. But no. Not anymore.
Today the poor but educated of the world pity you, the other powers laugh at you and the ones that dont, just play along to your sad, suicidal lullaby of death.
If the move of apple to the 386 line is really big on the server and/or workstation, i think we will see Dell/Compaq putting massive effort on Linux and interoperability of LinuxOSX just to keep jobs on his toes.
I think ultimatly this will happen if OSX starts hurting hardware sales from other vendors.
One thing im shure of. Apple will not go for full support of the whole range of i386 hardware out there in the windows style. They cannot afford it really. So this means theyll be locking other i386 vendors out of their platform (osX) which will, if the move is succesfull, force large hardware vendors to go against OSX with a viable, less monopolized unix based platform... namely, Linux.
Is there a side by side comparison of Network Information Service (Sun Yellow Pages), Open LDAP and Netscape Directory anywhere?
NIS != LDAP
Just to clarify, NIS and LDAP really have no real point of comparission.
I mean yeah, you can use them both as authentication/authorization backend for pam, but then again, so can postgres.
NIS is a way to distribute some key file in an asyncronous way across a network. It works kinda nice when youve a full host of unixes and you need one authentication database for them all.
Let me put it this way, although its a flawed analogy:
NIS is to LDAP what Windows Network authentication services are to Active Directory.
All of this is absolutely true. Powerfull rich nations are such today BECAUSE they were very very mean killers and rapists of the rest of the world for some, generally prolonged, period of time.
Here are some examples in this light:
A) Spain: Owned all the world for three centuries (the "Felipe" kings,Carlos V and that line in general). They maimed, killed and raped in all five continents, including europe (Especially against the Pays-bas -holland, belgium, luxemburg, it used to be "flandes").
B) France: Heh... they won the last crusade... just add up how many dead can be in that one. They also had a couple of 100 year wars against england.
C) England: DUring the best years of the empire they basically where doing the exact same thing as the spaniards with the added nicensess of stealing national treasures of every nation on earth. GO to those free museums in london to see part of the original freaking gates of Babylon....YES, the ones quoted in the bible....or ALL of the exquisite engravings of the greek athenas Parthenon...hell good thing they didnt have heavy lift helicopters or they wouldve stolen the whole hill.
The very least the U.S. deserves is worldwide mockery. And thanks, for having a president that quite clearly beats most american professional comedians at making the world laugh...Here world meaning, actually, the rest of the world, not just -common american asumption- your 52 states....
Anyone who was using Linux in 1999 remembers when there were announcements like this every day. (Dell partners with Red Hat! Compaq partners with Ximian! Dell partners with Eazel! Compaq partners with Red Hat!) None of it amounted to anything.
HUH?
Of course it did duh! Most profit coming in for redhat is Dell preinstalled servers.
IBM Global Learning Services sold a TON of RHCE programmes for redhat.
Suse is arguably comming in stronger into the corporate market because IBM also partnered with them (to keep redhat on their toes of course).
It may have meant nothing for you or the larger end-user computer market, but for the corporate market, this aliances were what put Linux at the core of the datacenters.
No magic or good will though, Dell didnt do it out of kindness nor IBM. Linux was already there in some universities and companies, cheaper for them than windows and, especially for IBM, a change to an OS that worked on Intel that was not controlled by a competitor was a huge saving (50 bucks per server that didnt have to go to Bill... just multiply that times the intel-based servers they sell, plus not having to support informix or db2 on windows with the risk of MSSQL)...etc.
In comes a bunch of trolls that cannot afford to buy an RHCE class to bash against the RHCE program.
Please please, just because YOU cant pay for it it doesnt mean its bad.
I just wanted to say this because its tipical in/. and im tired about it.
RHCE is the best certification track for linux available. Period.
Yes, im RHCE and i dont know more now than before i took the exam (which is a REALLY good, no nonesense, hands on test of skills -simple too, if you know wtf youre doing-).
But i think most knowledgeable but-not-guru level IT people would benefit if they took it and they wanted to move to Linux.

Oh get a grip churchboi.
YES, i do find that oodles more ammusing than the brady fucking bunch (although if i had access to a title like that....).
Well.
All ive seen is better performance with HT and kernel 2.6.
Maybe thats because 2.6 is so much better, maybe its ALSO because of the HT. We will never know.
That would remain to be seen. As would your own sexual preference, or mine for that matter.
Well. Hurray for ignorance.
Since when do gay people not reproduce?
Ill invite you once to large anual gay party. Most people there over 40 are married to their women, but still come to the party.
So much for assuming "THE GAYS" dont reproduce.

That would be an ultra-scalable-broad wouldnt it!
Ever seen http://www.compiere.org/ ?
You can make whatever modules you want with a full fledged ERP api, normal database and very scalable architecture.
No downside as well if youre not an really large operation since this can run on a simple and unexpensive version of oracle + java.
So... next request please.
