  1. Re:The money issue on Redhat Reports 90% Return Subscription Rate · · Score: 1
    Try again:
    Red Hat Linux -- Red Hat's policy for Red Hat Linux distributions is to provide maintenance for at least 12 months.
    The RHL 8 and RHL 9 products were EOL after 1 year.

    Assuming:
    1. You don't want RHN and Support for any of the machines (
    2. read the agreement)


      You follow Red Hat's Trademark guidelines

    Yet, admins "in their right mind" would deploy RHL 8 and RHL 9 with the same 1 year life span?

  4. Re:and again: the looooosers are... ACADEMIA on Redhat Reports 90% Return Subscription Rate · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How many customers of RH did actually pay for a subscription before the change? And from those how did not pay (but were loyal Rh customers), how many are sticking with it?


    How are you a "customer" if you didn't pay? How is Red Hat losing money if people that don't pay them continue not to pay them?

  5. Re:Gee, thanks... on MS Tweaks Ill-Received Licensing Plan · · Score: 1
    Check your license again. Microsoft is just putting put into OfficeXP what was there in Office97.


    IIRC, you could do it with OfficeXP before, but the "home" machine had to be a laptop.

  6. Re:Why I think powerline will not take off on The NoCat Wireless Access Point/Night Light · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually I just picked up two of the Ethernet-to-Powerline adapters off of buy.com for $40/each and free shipping (Thank You Froogle!).

    They also have a bundle One 802.11b-to-Powerline and One Ethernet-to-Powerline for $75.

    I already have wireless, but this is cheaper than buying a new NIC+PCI adapter for my linux box (the SMC one I have gets terrible connections) and it gives me wired for my Playstation2 as a bonus.

    Wait...someone already did that. Sigh. Maybe it's not too late to patent the business method.

    Since when has someone already doing it been a problem with patenting an idea?

    Or are you not from the good old USA?
