It doesn't matter whether you like somebody's smile, what their F-ing religion is or how rich they are. What matters is what they plan on doing if they become president.
I think it matters more what they actually do as president because what they plan on doing and what they end up doing are often not the same. And because of that, we don't know what to expect so we have to vote on more than just what they say they want to do. We have to look at some of the less concrete aspects of the candidates and try to understand who they are as a person and what their values are based on.
Obviously we don't always do a good job and sometimes we don't learn from previous mistakes. http://www.hist.umn.edu/~ruggles/Approval.htm
We use MediaWiki http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki (same software used for Wikipedia) to document pretty much everything. It has been very helpful being able to update documentation as you go. One issue so far though is the wiki doesn't make it as easy as we would like to find what we are looking for so the organization or your documentation is important.
Thank you Bruce. Someone needed to explain the situation a little better.
I've seen this problem for a while from my experience with SugarCRM. They use a modified Mozilla Public License Version 1.1 (SugarCRM Public License) that requires attribution with a logo on the bottom of every page. This was not the case initially but when SugarCRM was at version 1.5 a company used the Open Source license to create their own product (vTiger CRM) and it pissed off the people at Sugar so they changed the license. Now on the vTiger homepage they advertise with "Tired of kinda, sorta Open Source? Get the honest Open Source: vTiger CRM". SugarCRM isn't really Open Source. They are just profiting from using that term.
I am glad OSI is cracking down. These companies are misleading consumers into thinking they have certain freedoms because their software is "Open Source" but it really isn't. Oh, and don't give me that crap about you can define Open Source however you want. Open Source needs to have a concrete definition or it means nothing. Companies like SugarCRM are damaging that definition. If everyone got to define Open Source it would have no definition.
I have to agree with some other posts who think the true source of the images are the ones doing the alterations and not Google. The Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant near Raleigh, NC isn't blurred. Also, the White House which used to have solid color blocks covering the roof no longer does. Also as someone earlier mentioned, the US Capitol which used to be blurred no longer is. I think this is just a case of the source of the images.
You could also get an automatic water shutoff system. They monitor the water flow in the house and if flow exceeds what you have programed in as normal usage then it will cut off the water. Of course if you are going to be gone that long you might just want to cut the water off to the whole place anyway. Here is one of the automatic water shutoff system's I know of. (Or as always, just Google it.
Sure it is obvious now... thanks to Netflix pioneering it seven years ago (getting a patent takes a while). Although I don't have much respect for the US patent system, I have to wonder how else would Netflix protect their novel business model from a competitor like Blockbuster? BB has several major advantages already: a huge, existing inventory of movies and actual stores. How can Netflix compete with that without protecting their novel business model?
I subscribe to Blockbuster now because of the fact that I get 2 free rentals every month from a store in addition to the all I can watch by mail. That allows me to go rent something on a whim. Those 2 free rentals in the store would cost me almost over half as much as the monthly subscription does already. Netflix can not compete on that level without partnering with some other competing retail rental chain. What Netflix does have going for it is they came up with this new idea for unlimited online rentals for a set monthly fee. Shouldn't they be able to protect that in some way?
CentOS should send the city a bill for their tech support time. After all, they wasted the time of a primary developer whose time could be spent much better. Of course the chance of the bill getting paid is slim to none but it is the thought that counts, right? I hope Johnny Hughes found the man's ignorance as funny as I do and was not overly annoyed with the knucklehead.
When Lost first started I thought, "That looks interesting, but I don't want to get hooked on yet another TV show." (I am trying to cut down on TV watching and spend that time doing more fulfilling things such as spending time with my wife and reading.) So I didn't watch Lost for the first 6 episodes or so. One of my friends watched it all the time and encouraged me to watch so I caved in and downloaded all the episodes I had missed and ended up watching them all one Saturday. Now I am hooked. I think that my experience is very common (as the article points out) and I am glad to see that some entertainment executives get it. Now if only the RIAA would understand this concept works for what they are peddling too.
As a North Carolinian I was a little shocked to see the EFF was suing the state elections board. Then I read why. Why does the elections board think they can just ignore the law? I am all for having electronic voting and I imagine that it will help out the process considerably but we certainly shouldn't add more risk for fraud and error. Voting accuracy should be priority #1.
If you use this to hold your swap and your main partition, I think the speed improvement would be well worth it! Then buy a 300GB drive for your MP3 collection and all the other junk that that doesn't need such access speed and you are set.
My thoughts exactly. I still like to have the CD and just convert that to MP3 or whatever other format I want. I think eventually I will do the same with my DVD collection so that I have fast access to all of my movie and TV series collection. Now all I need is a much, much larger HD, HDTV, and a media pc.
I was at Sam's Club the other day and I noticed Microsoft has a Fingerprint Reader of their own. It is designed just for that, saving login information. It was only ~ $30.
FOX did that for the Simpsons too (at least for What Badgers Eat). Of course, there have been dozens of other websites references on there they haven't bothered to register.
There was a similar, and very good, article in Wired last November, Open Source EverywhereSoftware is just the beginning... open source is doing for mass innovation what the assembly line did for mass production. Get ready for the era when collaboration replaces the corporation.
From the Migration FAQ (You'll need to sign in to the RHN.)
3) What happens to my paid RHN subscription if it expires after April 30, 2004, (the end-of-life date for Red Hat Linux 9)?
Customers whose paid RHN subscription expires after April 30 will receive a complimentary evaluation ISO and channel access for Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS for the remainder of their subscription. These customers also have the opportunity to take advantage of the 50% discount currently available on migrations to Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES or WS.
4) When will the complimentary evaluation copy of Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS be available?
The channel will be opened March 1, 2004. Users whose account expires after April 30, 2004 will be able to access the complimentary evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS from March 1, 2004 until the end of their subscription.
With 6 Billion in the bank, they are only offering 250k? Ha! That is chump change.
On another note, do you think this is their new "security model"? Instead of writing and testing for good, secure code, just scare off the virus writers by putting a bounty on all their heads.

I'm waiting on the Bad Astronomer's (Phil Plait) take on this before forming an opinion. Too bad he hasn't written anything about it yet. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/
It is good to see a little progress from MS on a standards compliant browser out of the box. The work required for admins will be well worth it.

I'm not sure about reporting specifically, but phpMyAdmin is the way to go for a generic MySQL front end.

We can mod stupid posts down so we should be able to mod stupid (and duplicate) stories down too.
Exactly!! So who has links to the torrents still? Surely some/most of the trackers are still up and running!

There is already a patch out at 11am est. Links here

I update as soon as RedHat has the patches up on the RHN and up2date lets me. This is usualy in a day or 2 from the announcment.
