I'm not a Microsoft employee. I think Microsoft are evil.
You misunderstand me dramatically. I've been using Linux for 7 years, and have been personally Microsoft-free for five. I've been involved with my Taiwanese (traditional-Chinese-speaking) wife for three years.
You actually think I haven't scoured the web for something that does complete Chinese input? You think I haven't dedicated hours of time to this problem?
Like I said: Anyone who has actually used a Chinese IME for Linux that is anything 1/2 as good as Win2K, LET ME KNOW WHAT THE PACKAGE IS. I'm extremely interested.
Unfortunately, all I get is trolls like you that claim I'm a Microsoft employee.
By the way, for my final project for AP Speech class I did a 40 minute presentation on Sealand from the viewpoints of 5 different (well 6 including the introduction) characters. It was pretty awesome. I'd post it online if I wasn't afraid of someone totally ripping it off.
I had a project just like this.
I trolled^Wtold my teacher: "Hey, my 40-minute speech project is just awesome! But I can't present it, because it's intellectual property."
My understanding of a hot backup is a mirrored db that can take over if-and-when the other stops responding. I'm not saying you can't back your data up (that would be rediculous), but pg_dumpall isn't enough for a hot backup.
Well, Fjord, I suggest reading chapter 1 of a few database manuals. I'm familiar with Oracle, Sybase , Microsoft SQL Server, and Postgres. I've never heard any of these refer to a hot standby as a hot backup.
Hot backup means you can backup the database while it's running.
Postgres most certainly supports hot backup.
As for hot standby, you can easily set such a thing up. DBAs have been doing it for years using transaction log copying. It's not any more difficult than setting up replication for Oracle (if you've ever done such a thing, you'll know it's a nightmare process).
I've never played with it so I'm not sure how well it works, but did you know that SAP Open sourced their database?
Hmmm. Do you mean to say you've never played with SAP DB either?
I'll admit, I'd never heard of SAP DB before your post. Going to the website you quote (sapdb.org) makes it look VERY promising.
Just a note, what I consider makes a production-quality RDBMS:
Transaction support! Can't be stressed enough. Rollback and Rollforward recovery.
Triggers to enforce referential integrity.
Stored procedures (or another way to precompile queries and query plans).
Commercial support. Since I'm paid ungodly sums of money, it's a waste of company resources for me to fix bugs. I need to be able to pay someone $2,000 per bug to fix it. No shit. On the other hand, Oracle, Microsoft, and Sybase have crap support. I have to spend as much time explaining their stupid bug to them as it'd take me to fix it my own damn self. I have met good commercial support before, but you can be guaranteed the Big Boys don't have it.
Stable, Stable, Stable. If you think Microsoft makes a good RDBMS, I bet you've never supported it in a very large installation.
Well-thought-out architecture. Well, okay, Oracle's architecture is like spaghetti code personified, so it doesn't meet this criteria. But everyone likes Oracle because it's got everything else, plus a kitchen sink...
SAP DB, from the site, looks damn good. I'll probably take a look at it to see if it's a good contender for Postgres.
It is unfortunate that Postgres is licensed by Berkely license, not GPL. It means that SAP DB can steal code from Postgres and get better, but not the other way around, since SAP DB has been licensed GPL/LGPL.
This story looks like a good excuse for me to share a little elation I have about Databases that are Free Software.
I've been a Database Administrator and Linux zealot for about 7 years now, and it always got under my skin that there are no good production-quality databases for Linux.
Then, a couple years back, Oracle, Sybase, IBM, and a few other giants made their RDBMSs available for Linux. So I upped the ante, and started complaining that there were no good Free Software databases that were production-quality for Linux.
Then, about nine months ago in New Zealand I started talking to a consultant who told me he'd successfully migrated a few clients off of Oracle onto Postgres. At the time, I was incredulous, because I'd previously reviewed Postgres and found it unsuitable for production systems.
Turns out, my information was outdated (things change FAST in the OSS arena).
Since then, I've been slowly, carefully, calmly trying to see if Postgres (and incidentally, MySQL) were ready for production databases.
Turns out, the answer is pretty much YES for Postgres and, sorry folks, still NO for MySQL.
Postgres is an amazing product. The version I'm running, which is fairly recent at 7.2.1 can create databases based on Oracle-complexity DDL, has good recoverability, stored procedures and triggers, and pretty much everything you'd expect in a full-fledged RDBMS.
They even have a few of those extra bits that aren't necessary but that some DBAs and DB developers like, such as a built-in language (PG/SQL I believe they call it) and ability to write stored procedures in esoteric and strange languages.
I've found their query tool (psql) to be the second-most powerful and useful query tool I've ever used (SQSH being the first).
Amazing product, this Postgres 7.2.1. And from reading the database administrators' mailing list, it's pretty obvious that there are some fairly large-size shops migrating from Oracle to Postgres or even just using Postgres as their main RDBMS.
I went there to waste four minutes of my time chatting with ALICE.
She said: "Oh, you're a poet?"
I said yeh, does she like poetry?
She said: "I like Longfellow."
I said: "I've never heard any Longfellow."
She said: "I haven't either."
Yeh. This pretty much sums up dumbasses and posers in chat boards. "I love Shakespeare!" "What did you think of Othello?" "Oh, I'm not into board games..."
Yeh. ALICE. Truly the AOL artificial intelligence of the 21st century.
Notwithstanding all the "Linux trolls" who post "search Google" and "Here's a Chinese input project, it must be good," Linux just can't do Chinese (or Japanese) now.
Let's put this in perspective. I've been Microsoft-free personally for about 5 years now. Both my laptops and all my workstations (at home and work) run Linux. That's about five machines running Linux now. I'm very happy.
My wife knows nothing about computers. She doesn't know Windows, she doesn't know Linux. So I can install Linux for her, right? Wrong.
Because Chinese input for Linux simply isn't as good as Microsoft Win2K.
As the parent points out, the Microsoft Asian-input methods are well-thought out. They allow you to seamlessly shift into and out of English and Chinese (and Japanese).
Chinese itself has at least three major input methods, each of which is a long, complicated process to implement. My wife reads/writes "Traditional Chinese" (what they read/write in Taiwan) as opposed to "Simplified Chinese" (what they read/write in China and what Red Flag Linux certainly only supports).
Microsoft Win2K handles all Chinese and Japanese input methods so well that my wife and others who are actually from Mainland China are all happy.
Linux doesn't seem to make anyone happy.
Sure, there are projects out there. As the Linux Troll with a highly-rated comment mentioned earlier, "Search Google!" -- yeh, you'll get tons of hits, and every one of them will be a waste of your time.
Maybe in another year or two.
I'd be happy if someone who's actually used Chinese input on Linux and Win2K tell me there's something as good for Linux. I'll try it in a heartbeat. I've been waiting YEARS to get my wife off of Windows.
Note: All this rant doesn't say much about Chinese *OUTPUT* -- Linux seems to display Big5 (traditional) and other Chinese/Japanese just fine. It's the input that's not ready yet.
You will never stop receiving unsolicited bulk advertising in any medium until it is cheaper to not send unsolicited bulk advertising to you in that medium.
This includes cellphones, mail, email, pagers, and banner ads.
Anytime I receive a call on my cellphone from a telemarketer, I say: "This is a cellphone" and hang up.
What you need to do is ensure that your cellphone provider realises you want to use your cellphone to not receive advertising. If you do receive it, of course tell the person it's a cellphone and hang up, but then contact your phone provider and tell them you just lost a minute to a telemarketer, and you want that minute credited to your account.
Ask also to have a free service that blocks telemarketing calls (ie: as the submitter mentions, a way to block calls from callers who've masked their phone number).
Almost any provider of IT services or network services uses it, unless they have no *nix boxes at all and provide no services on anything other than a windows platform.
Actually, you're a little wrong there. At a Windows shop I worked at, I installed Cygwin with OpenSSH and installed SSH as a Windows service.
You could then SSH to the Windows box with all the other benefits of SSH you'd expect.
Specifically, it happened in a country that used to be a free country.
Get used to it. The American government has been on the side of those terrorists and fundamentalists that wanted to ruin the American way of life since the sixties.
This was just their excuse to implement the final phases of fascism in the United States.
They give the coveted GP == Good Physics award to Seven Years in Tibet...?!?! Like... okay? How about we give other coveted Good Physics awards to Lolita, Joy Luck Club, Pi, True Stories, and Office Space since they were so full of projectile cars, falling, laser beams, and other physical effects that could be modelled poorly???
Then they go and say the Matrix had questionable physics, despite the fact that a key element of the plot is that the physics of the world are simply rules in a computer which Morpheus so eloquently describes: "some can be bent, others broken."
I'm gonna just have to go ahead and disagree with you there.
YeOldeCurmudgeon writes "This story just posted on Yahoo: Federal Judge Denies Microsoft Motion to Dismiss Antitrust Case. Microsoft's motion to dismiss the suit filed by the 9 dissenting states was denied. The judge agrees the states can sue."

one would generally consider a public library a place where one could let one's children go safely and without supervision
You have to find the irresponcible parent and have the "you're a bad parent" speech
For those who are attention-span impaired, let me summarise: "D'oh! You're exactly the irresponsible dork parent we're talking about in the first place."
Supervise your children (you know, be a good parent) and they will grow up well-adjusted. This child abuse / child neglect thing really does get passed down from generation to generation.
* THE "ERGONOMIC," "RSI" KEYBOARDS ARE WORTHLESS
* IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, SEE THE BEST SPECIALIST YOU CAN FIND. IMMEDIATELY.
Riiiight. I'm more inclined to agree with an earlier poster who said people are all different, what works for some might not work for others.
I'm a direct counterexample to your advice.
After 20 years of 16-hour computing days (I'm not joking. I'm a hacker) I found that my wrists were beginning to hurt.
A Microsoft Natural keyboard keeps my wrists from tingling and snapping. If I need to type a lot, there's no other option.
I've got two friends who, like me, are direct counterexamples to your advice. They are also helped by the standard ergo keyboard.
It turns out, some aren't helped by such. As you point out.
Definitely invest in an ergo keyboard, but if after a week your wrists/fingers/hands are still giving you problems, definitely seek the advice of a physician.
We're not talking about using this technology to make courtroom identifications. We're using it to notify security that you MIGHT have someone in front of you that is of less than reputable character. This doesn't mean you immediately cuff him and throw him in jail
You haven't known too many security guards, have you?
Hint: They're usually high-school graduates at best. They're paranoid, bored, and stupid. They don't understand simple nuances like: "Pay a little extra attention to this person" as opposed to "Harass and accuse this person, treat him like a criminal."
I went to this fightcloud site and checked it out. They have a very limited selection of CDs, and they say: "This CD is free* for a limited time only."
Others have already pointed out the CDs are $5, not free. And now it turns out that this is just a promotional offer. The CDs will be more than $5 in the future.
I have a hard time seeing that this is any new business model. The CDs will still be expensive, will still be based on old brick & mortar concepts like selling a physical piece of plastic.
What I want is to buy three tracks from each of twenty different artists. I want to know the tracks are good before I fork out. And I want them ONLY in digital format (I'd like Ogg Vorbis, but let's be realistic. For the next two years I'll be happy with VBR MP3s).
So what's the story here, really? "Company runs promotional sale and Slashdot gives them free advertising!"
If you want to read up on the LEDs, good tech specs can be found on Nichia Corporation's English homepage. They have a lot of good tech specs on their LEDs and flourescent paints and objects.
Doesn't matter if enough companies do it. You can get off all their call lists by doing such things.
A friend of mine, whenever a telemarketer calls him, says: "Hell yes I'm interested. I really need that! Let me go turn off the lawn-mower and I'll be right back."
Put down the phone. Check every fifteen minutes or so and when they finally give up on you, hang it up.
A lot of people have mentioned great success in altering the employment contract given to you and then signing it.
I'll second that, plus tell you a little amusing story.
I was working at a company that decided about 6 months after I started to give us one of these very draconian employment contracts.
First, I totally ignored it. While all my coworkers dutifully signed and returned as requested, I did nothing.
About four months later (!) the HR drone contacted me and said they couldn't find my copy. Fine, please send me another.
About one month later, the HR drone contacted me again to say I hadn't returned the copy. I said: "Right, What about sections 1, 7, 9, 32 34, 35, and 37? Can you tell me the ramifications of those?"
About two weeks later, I had my answers. So I said I had sent my copy off to a lawyer.
Another two months later, I quit.
Right, but it doesn't end there.
So I signed on to another company, and they were smarter. Part of the sign-on package was this draconian employment contract. But it has a sheet where you can list things you've done prior to the job.
I filled that entire sheet and two more with literally thousands of items including such gems as "C program for taking input, doing logic, and producing output." Believe me, I was comprehensive. The HR drone took one look at it, signed it, copied it, and gave me my copy.
Greeeeat.
I've generally followed this line of action since everything I do is a work in progress, then all outside-of-hours work I do on an existing project (and I have many in my CVS repository) is prior work and covered under that big sheet I filled out.
And yes, I'd be willing to back this up in a court of law.
Good luck, people. Remember, though, the best way is just to change the language of the contract. HR drones aren't known for their tenacity. They are usually "yes (wo)men" and aren't used to being hard-nosed about anything.
On the one hand, I want the spammers to die a deserving death. On the other hand, I've worked with lawyers and would kind of like it if there were about 1/100th the number of lawyers we have presently.
I kind of want to fix the whole problem with a daisy cutter or something.
