while the image you linked to is quite amazing, i dont think it is the right one:). so moderators, the link above has a picture of a man with his own penis in his own ass. i think it's off topic.
i'm glad you brought this up. i was wondering if you or someone could explain the differences between vservers and uml mentioned above. it looks to me like they are trying to accomplish the same thing. a friend of mine really digs the vserver thing, and i was wondering how the two measure up.
the gpl is wonderful for commercial companies. if said company feels that the gpl is to restrictive, then they dont have to use gpl'ed software. they can build everything from scratch.
if being able to use the available gpl'ed codebase out weighs releasing the companies code under the gpl, then they can take advantage of a huge amout of code already written.
nope i'm a libertarian, and i believe he said that he favored the green party. as far as i know libertarians are pretty much the polar opposite of the greens. i am encourageing him to vote based on the issues and not party allegiance. if more people did that, this country would be more informed and a much better place to live in.
And before you ask, those other parties like the greens are cool, but they don't win many elections. with that attitude they never will. you know why alot of people dont use linux? because there most people dont use linux. the follow the hurd justification is kind of a self defeating argument.
really though if you agree with the greens you should vote for them. vote for the people you want to win, dont vote against the people you want to loose. otherwise we will continue to have the one party system masquerading as a two party system.
you know bruce, for the most part i think you're a pretty cool guy. vote with your conscience.
really though it's easy to multitask using only text commands. plus if you're admining a computer half way across the world, you might not want to wait for the pull down menu to be drawn on the screen.
i'm not trying to be an eliteist or any of that stuff, but to say you cannot multitask using text programs is a very odd thing to say.
i must say that when i saw the screen shots it was a little disappointed. perhaps the way it works is a little different, but i dont see the changing the buttons into a tree as being that significant. now if there were a menu that said: click here for x and it either selects alot of crap for your, or prompts you with a list of questions to customize your hardware that would be neet.
say you click on "enable scsi support", then it asks you: which type of adapter do you have? buslogic, adaptec, etc. then it says do you have scsi cd rom drives? yes/no, etc.
that would be nifty. romans tool might do this, if so then that would be dandy. i just dont think a treelike interface is really that big of a deal.
i agree with you that more options are better though.
besides if so much glass did actually shift from the top of an elaborate stain to the bottom, the picture would be long blurry, as they love making a big deal about how obvious the thickness difference is.
typically the colored pieces of stained glass windows are separated by a border of lead and tin i believe. this would prevent them from blurring. i once saw a presentation on this, and the lady giving it said people who make glass look at glass from ancient rome. evidently they provide good data points.
the state of matter (liquid vs solid) is highly subjective to the timeframe in which you view it. as a chemical engineer i tend to see glass as a liquid in a technical sense, but as a solid for practical consideration. i too find it hard to see how michael could come to his conclusion from the link he pointed out. perhaps this was a poor attempt at sarcasm.
fwiw i've met people whos research focuses on the liquid properties of glass. it would be nice to see michael in an academic discussion with them.
just putting salt into solution ionizes it. if you apply electricity you will hydrolyze the water and split it into hydrogen and oxygen gas. put the crackpipe down.
i believe he ment finished product in the advertising sense. you have a demoish poster that the advertisers show to the client and say: "this is what the advertisement will look like" and you have the ad agencies finished product which is what is distributed. the parent is saying that using it in the demo is one thing but pushing it as the finished product (from an ad campaign perspective) is another.
i dont believe he was saying the comic book drawing is the what the actual suite will look like. unless they can find a whole bunch of fembots to wear them.
It was a last minute decision, and I asked my daughter, a graphic artist, to provide an image.
I didn't know until after your attorney contacted MIT at the end of April that the image apparently was based on your character.
i wonder if his daughter went to mit? really though, saying this image is based on the comic book character is like saying a photograph of me is based on me. i seriously doubt the guys daughter took the time to even redraw the images. copy, paste, fade, etc. without citing your source is plagiarism.
i'm really surprised this is coming from an academic at mit. ethical issues like this are pretty fundamental in academia. it's a shame he's trying to water it down with saying it was based on the guy's character. someone should take one of this guys papers, reorder the sections and say it's based on his paper. see how fast his panties get twisted then.
would you suggest a good howto for miktex? i have a friend who wants to learn how to use it, and i dont really have access to his computer at work. as a result i cannot poke around on it and figure out how to get stuff to compile, convert to pdf, etc.
well when you create a section called ``goatse'' it places a number beside it-say for example 1.0. then the figures are named 1-1, 1-2, etc. say you want to insert a section called ``midget'' infront of ``goatse''. then figure 1-1 becomes 2-1, and 1-2 becomes 2-2, etc. latex renumbers these for you.
if you previously referenced equation 1-1 in the text, latex will also change this to 2-1 automatically.
latex will also change the table of contents, table numbering, references to these sections/tables in the text, etc.
i agree with the ac about absolutes. i doubt many english prof's are writing research papers in latex. i do however agree with you that latex really looks professional, and for the most part you dont need to worry about layout.
for example: if you try to put alot of floating figures close together, you will have to concern yourself a bit with layout though.
i personally couldnt imagine writing a mathematical paper using something other than latex though. the automatic numbering of equations, theorems, references, sections, tables, etc. is just too cool. not to mention the automatic generation of table of contents, lists of figures, lists of tables. i've never tried it but i understand it will generate indices. it's just nifty.
there is a negative side. it has a bit of a learning curve-especially for someone who grewup using a wordprocessor (note: latex is not a wordprocessor, it's a typsetting program. dont confuse the two). it also has it's quirks, like the floatingfigure stuff i mentioned above. there is excellent help via usenet though.
if you want more control of your document and you like reveal codes then latex is for you. really though to make something bold it's just: \bold{something in bold}.
there might be a bit of a learning curve, but it's worth it. the quality of the document is much higher than anything i've seen a word processor put out. it takes eps for figures which just rocks when printed.
latex is free and comes with most linux distros. there's even a version for windows, search for miktex on google, but i've never used it.
it's a bunch of macros to interface with tex, written by that uberpimp donal knuth.
10 of 15 years ago we wern't nearly as connected as we are today. if redhat was bulling someone we would here more than the noise we are hearing now. i'm sorry, but i believe redhat is a standup company. they do alot for linux and free software. they are a part of the community, not a leach.
if you have any legitimate claims, that is fine. if not i'm sorry but i'm going to have to side with redhat on this one.
so are you implying that redhat is bullying people? can you give me an example? it's not that i dont believe you, i just that i have never seen a claim like this substantiated.
yeah pudge. you know with mistakes like this the reputation of slashdot will start to fall below the ``peer reviewed'' status it currently is.
fwiw i've never used a mac an understood what he was talking about. i have however read about the zeroconf network stuff so i understand that it's just an easy way to configure tcp/ip. i've always assumed that appletalk was different than tcp/ip, and didn't run on top of it.
i thought it was a good review though. i was happy to see someone say something negative about it. it's hard to get a feel for something when the only opionions you see say hey everything is hunky dory. gj pudge.

grecian
adj : of or relating to or characteristic of Greece or the Greeks; "Greek mythology"; "a grecian robe"
just because it isn't common, doesn't make it incorrect.

I also like GUIs because they allow you to multi task while most text menu and a command lines do not.
/tmp/somefile&
really? so if i have 5 xterms up each running a text only taks am i not multitasking? or if i'm sitting in the console and type the following:
$cd ~/
$grep -ir sometring * >
$pine
am i not multitasking?

thats what i thought as soon as i saw the color scheme.
patents expire after a while. does anyone know how much longer it will be until these expire?
sorry, the crack was strong and laced with lsd. you are indeed right \bold is incorrect, i also like to use {\bf stuff}. thanks for the correction.
