i dont know where they got the 2/3 number for marketing and admin-it sounds a bitt off to me. in reality it takes about 10 years for a drug to go from conception to market, and they have about a 20% success rate.
so say in 1991 research began on 10 drugs. at best only two of them exsist right now. i'm sure that pharmaceutical companies to spend a bit on administration. this would be because of all the regulatory loops they have to jump through.
research isn't just a monkey with a labcoat, some flasks and some chemicals. the capital investment required is enormous, this doesnt even include clinical trials, dealing with the fda, etc.
to tell people (or orgainizaions representing people like mutual funds), you have to give us all of your money for the good of the world is rediculous. especially considering the governments of these countries are corrupted past the point of caring for their own people.
hell if research is so cheap, why dont all of the third world countries scrape together $50 or however much it takes to do aids research, setup a lab, and start doing research on their own? because in reality it isnt that cheap.
third world countries are poor, i will not deny that. on many levels the united states is pretty pathetic (we consume 90% of the worlds resources and have less than 10% of its population) i will agree with that also. some people here work very hard though, and they invest their money so they can retire when they are too old to work. to tell them that they have to give up their life saveings for the good of humanity is a streach for me.
i dont use bsd, but from what i've read all of the firewalling stuff in linux came from bsd. there is alot of other stuff, but it doesnt come readily to mind.
And I'll certainly continue to 'farm things out'--having
others maintain the things that I don't have the heart for. I
think that a lot of the talk about the 'succession' is due to
this--people see the project growing, and see other
people having a large impact, and don't realize that it's
already long since grown past being just 'Linus.'
hope that in another few years, people will still
remember me, but they'll also consider me more of a
traditional 'technical lead' person and 'senior architect,'
rather than 'Mr Linux.'
THAT's what I'm aiming for. The ability to be 'just' the
technical guy some day. I'm in no real hurry, and I'm
convinced it will happen, so I'm not worrying. You'll just
have to find the next quotable wünder-kid to spice up
your stories;)
so linus realizes that linux is growing, and it will be to big for him (or any other singular person) some day. the community will deal with it. hell redhat/ibm/compaq all employ kernel hackers, and i think linus listens to them when he makes decisions. at some point a decision has to be made and currently i think those decisions are best made by linus.
Having just upgraded my system with the latest
Debian, the installation leaves a lot to be desired when compared with Windows
if you are looking at an installer targeted for the average windows user you should probably consider mandrake.
the installer isn't really that important on the "consumer level". most "consumers" dont install operating systems. the operating system comes preinstalled.
well she was trying to give me something for free that i would have to pay for eventually. i told her that i wanted to buy something now. i asked her what she had in her pockets, purse, etc. she said she had a compact, so i told her to send it to me and bill my credit card (she was calling on thier behalf). i told her that i would pay her $100 for it, but she must bill me now and send it quickly.
well soon she asked if i was on drugs, and i told her that i dont do drugs i sell them. she told me that drugs were bad, and i told her that she shouldn't judge something she hasnt tried. then i told her that i was a crack dealer, and that i would send her some for free...
it went on like this for quite a while. i always try to get their email addresses, althought i have yet to be successful at this.
it's kinda weird, but some of these people will actually call me back to talk later.

this must be one of those times. without some way of querying your file system (except for ls) then you loose the relational aspect of the database. then you just have a filesystem that stores metadata for fast recovery. this is good from a fs point of veiw, but it does nothing to help you find the files you are looking for. it provides no relations between files, and does not store file descriptions (that are useful to a human).
eg. this is an image file that can be catagorized under political, humor, bill clinton, letch, etc.
i've been working on something sort of similar. i upload a file into the database (currently storing the files on a normal partition) and the file has associated with it a file type, description, md5 hash, and a couple other things. now when ever i want a picture of clinton. i do a select where file type is image and description has the word clinton in it. right now i only have a php interface, but i have a friend who's going to do a perl/console interface.
the cool thing is that i can stream the data via apache to whatever application i want. so i'm going to upload all of my mp3's and build file lists based on the primary keys of the files. then i can stream the data to mpg123/xmms. it works really well, and since i store the md5sum i can prevent myself from storing exact copies of a file.
i'm useing postgres right now. if they had the ability to mount raw partitions, and get over the 8k limit (this ones coming soon) that would be great. it would make backups easier. now i just have to dump the database and then backup the db dumb and the/files directory to tape.
and you see this article with the old one right beneath it. i dont expect the/. team to know every story, but a quick search isn't that hard. as for added information, thats what slashback is for.
i think many people should pay attention to this statement
They found a correlation. That's not the same as cause-and-effect.
it says something important that most people dont know about statistics: ie cause and effect relations _CANNOT_ be determined from correllary data. this is pretty basic and one of the first things you learn in a statistics class.
i believe you would be surprised at the number of people who have at least tried recreational drugs. look at the current prision population to see the results of the war on drugs. two weeks ago, i was at the busstop in the middle of pittsburgh on fifth and bigelo and someone lit up a joint.
the major difference between this and the dmca typ stuff is that corporations are using copyright/property laws to get what they want. ie. theft of content is taking something you dont own even if it is digitally. drug laws are more closely related to legislating morals. people who buy drugs work with you, eat at the same resturants you do and piss in the same toilet as you do. dont be fooled into thinking its only homeless/poor people who do them.
the restrictions will soon be found to be useless.
can anyone else see it:
foreign dictators hire some programmers to make terror@home the distributed computing project. people download the terror@home client and crunch numbers for leaders of terrorist states. 10 lucky participants are selected monthly and sent samples of biological and chemical weapons to use at their own discression along with a gift certificate to best buy where they can pick up another computer that can run the terror@home client.
it's ok because linux is like a house infested with cockroaches. sure he can squish the corel roach. it's a relatively small one. now that big mutated thing in the corner giving balmer the bird that's star office:). it has koffice/gnumeric/etc running around at its feet.
Frontends are nice. Most people now use a frontend for hacking HTML. I know some people would scream that you only need emacs to
make a web page, but WYSIWYG is nice for 95%+ of the world.
i use vi for everything from html to dissertation. my advisor thinks i'm on crack. i just havent found anything that beats vim and a good.vimrc file. once you get used to it-its not really that hard to use. i tried to use a wysiwyg html editor once. it's pretty useless if you do any dynamic webpages with perl/php/etc.
i lean more toward latex, but i would be happy to help! email me if you need it. we could goto sourceforge and startup a project... if you havent already: )
if you agree then you agree. there really isnt that much to it. if you dont read it befor you agree then it's your own fault. if the eula says that you can only install it on one computer at a time then so be it. one argument you might have is when you get an oem where it is pre-installed. the the oem should explain the license to you and have you sign something saying you understand what you are buying and what you can do with it.... most (i believe) dont do this. at least the store where i worked they didnt do this.
