Turned out that the report on all those bugs was mostly bogus tracing back to one post that ( not even a bug report ) bashing RH7 that A Cox responded to .
<br><br>
Now a seven word statement without any context in the article gets top light ? Well thanks for passing it on . I don't think that I am going to lose faith in a company that has consistenly reinvested in the community and open source until people like Alan Cox start jumping ship .
<br><br>Let's start taking a little less of a kneejerk at success.<br><br>
How about popping off for a formal response form someone at redhat before YOU post anything more about them . Might do you both some good <br><br>

First the article on RH bugs ( which turned out to be mostly bogus ) and this report on seven words with no context ?
You know , even the Debian folks have given RedHat some more room than this .
Look I am going to start losing faith in RH when people like Alan Cox starting jumping ship .
They have consistently reinvested in the community and people need to take another look at that before they start screaming foul .

Next time that you are at the local public library just try and check out a copy of MS Office or any other piece of evenly remotely expensive software.
Their EULAs prevent it but unlike many 'static' digital media ( non executable informtaion ) distributors , software companies do go out of their way to prevent libraries and other information outlets from lending their materials out .
Remeber You don't own MSOffice after the purchase , you merely have a license to use THEIR copy of the software .
They already have a 3 meter scope avaliable in Australia... it was shutdown the same day that it was to come online . It was shut down by the british government --- the same govt. that funded it initially .
This was detailed in the Discovery show that was on last night ( three minutes to impact ) as well as a number of other convincing arguements on what these odds might mean and what we can do about it.<br>
Among these comments some struck me as particularly important :
<br><br>
The greatest threat is represented not by planet killer's but by that class of asteroid that would more or less cripple a continents economy . The damage created to Japan by a tsunami causing asteroid that struck west of the Hawaiian islands would be greater than 10 years of their GNP .
They would esentially be flattened . These asteroids are estimated to strike earth once every thousand years ( on average -- even though the last may have been 3000 years ago ) .
<br><br>
NASA was commanded by Congress to search out and find earth crossing asteroids and has to this day allotted only $1,000,000 per year to do this .
"..., this statement charges Congress with the duty of enacting Copyright and Patent laws..."
No it does not charge Congress with the responsibilty of enacting IP Laws at all ! It gives them the ability to do so but does in no way require them to do so . This is principle to the interpretation that Author's rights are artificial ( that is that they are not constitutionally protected rights but rather enacted by congress ) . Consumer rights ( read citizen's rights ) are protected and are superior to artificial rights as far as the courts are concerned .
There is nothing unconstitutional at all about congress passing laws that secure " for a limited time " rights to reproduction of "useful arts" .
The Supreme court has made rulings that establish fair use as a protected right of consumers .
Congress has no real incentive to protect consumers on these points at all . They receive money from those interested in shifting importance from consumer's rights to authors rights . Congressman listen to them because no one else is talking to them about the same issues or has access to their ears . People do not list these consumer rights high on their priority lists as so few individuals ever get prosecuted .
This is very much an issue for open source as we encounter the same economic model abuses .
The MPAA would like nothing more than to have us pay for each instance of viewing... as though their product were being performed each time like a theatre troop .
The MPAA would very much like to push tha older econmomic model into a newer ( since the days of radio ) distribution model as it promises to give them the same magnitude of income enjoyed by software companies like M$ .

Use some sense . When something like this happens it is most likely some glitch . All it takes is a hatch to not really be opened when the cold gas ejector tries to fire a torpedo and...

That is the problem with most CS programs now , they fail to register a basic truth about programming : Once you learn to program ( really OOP ) then it's easy to tack on any additional language later . Programming is a skill , a way of thinking and creating that is ( mostly )independent of indiviual language syntax . My father ( like many father's do ) had a great thing to say on this subject . He has forgotten 75% of the details that he learned in Vet school ( they dont' come up often enough ) but he recognizes that there is a detail he needs to chase down and he remembers where to look when he needs them . What Vet school was invaluable at was drilling into him the methods and practices that he uses every day without thinking about it . The 'understanding' and familiarity with medicine/phisiology is what sets him above technicians . Similarly there is a big difference in the understanding of programming from someone who is allowed to peruse the libraries that are being used and someone who just let's a developement tool create binaries for them . Note: there is a big difference in the way I thought when I did F77 and the way I think while programming OOP . But once inside of Object oriented thinking differences between languages are just so many details . I have the refernce manuals and they speed me up .
US Copyright law does not change this in the least. It does not confer ownership of information. It never has, the copyright clause in the Constitution forbids it twice . Where in the constitution is this written ? I wasn't even aware that there was such a clause . Please help , Your squire Squireson squireson@bigfoot.com
This is not a serious patent . Somebody is playing with the language to see what they can put over on the patent department . Look at what they are saying in detail and get into a Freshman year Physics textbook (college) . You will be able to decipher what they are saying from that and see why we can expect to wait for years ( if ever ) before some method of FTL is possible .
There is still no theoretical way that information can travel FTL . Don't talk to me about the "spooky action at a distance " either . The instantaneous effects of that can't be used to transmit usable information without a conventional communications route added to it .
Tiatn AE is an excellent story and it must be a sign of recent movies that the upcoming motion picture makes me nervous . I truly do hope that the movie doesn't bum me out like some really have . On the other hand I have been particularly impressed with Pitch Black and Fight Club . I guess someone has to get things right from time to time .
Why would you need to have amonitor hooked up ? I used my video card once to get my headless server running and all it is now is a pair of ethernet cards , memory and processor . $25 computer $50 for ethernet cards $0 download from linuxrouter.org & trinity OS firewall ruleset ( to start )
The seventh book in the Dune series is out in case anyone hadn't heard .
It is called 'House Atreides' and is written by Brian Herbert ( Franks son ) and *mumblemumble* Anderson .
It is a lighter read and is wonderful in that it shows some of the more prominent 'races' in their less developed stages . Bene Gesserit are still more or less Human in this prequel etc...
Highly recomended . Also there is a note in side the book that Dune7 will follow ( that is the title that Frank Herbert held for the sequel to Chapterhouse ) Your Squire sqruireson
Important Science fiction ( such as anything written by Herbert or Penrose ) that focuses on sociology and how people's interactions are modified by technology or the lack of it is very important to a large number of nerds .
