Anyhow, the Linux IPO's were coming, you could no more stop them than stop the tide.
The more interesting question is to see how well GPL + OSS hold up against the flow of money and greed, if they cause the paradigm shift in software that rms is trying to achieve. We won't know that for a while yet.
Do you know how much easier and cheaper it will be now to launch elint and optical surviellance satellites into leo?
Big brother will be reading the contents of your hard drive from orbit to make sure that you're not decomposing and reverse engineering any M$ warez, or growing something funny in your backyard, or doing anything not mainstream.
I think the poster is referring to the abundance of iron, and other metals in our part of the galaxy that makes our planet have such a swell gravity.
It's been a while since I read this, but I think I recall reading that iron and similar metals arep products of supernovas, and are second or third generation fusion products. Thus, it takes a few cycles of stars for anything but hydrogen and helium to be abundance.
At least until RedHat finishes it's Sooper-Dooper-Amnesia-Beam to make everyone forget the GPL exists.
Right now it's in beta, and the only real affect is to make people forget the names of any of those grass eating things with horns on that live in Africa on the plains.
Are you using Open Source Ale (preferable home-brew) or Propietary Ale.
If you're using Propietary Ale, have you contacted the manufacturer and asked if it's compatible with Enlightenment, and if it isn't, can you have the specs?

Apple had a habit of naming it's internal secret projects after various things. One project was dubbed internally as "Sagan", with respect to, of course, the sci-fi writer Carl Sagan. Carl Sagan learned of this and threatened to sue Apple for the unauthorized use of his name. Apple quickly complied, chaning the name of the project to "Stuck-up astronomer." Or so the story goes.
I thought it was butthead astromer, but it's been too long since I heard that sroty.
I think it's a great way to dispose of all the cold war nukes, keep firing them off at Titan until it moves closer to Earth. They should even give it an elliptical orbit, so you have a year a hot weather and a year of cold weather, it would rule.
Well, yeah, but you need money to buy geek things, I no longer have the patience to solder together my own Pentium III, so I have to buy one.
Plus I need a bigger house, when they built mine 90 years ago they built it with insufficient server space, if I can fit 4 servers in my basement I'm doing well.
Those commercials make my skin crawl, and turn me even further away from ever wanting a Mac. Gee, let's revel in our cluelessness and be proud of our fear of learning anything technical.
oooh, computer's are too hard, I'll buy an Imac. Cooking's too hard, I'll get frozen dinner. Voting's too hard, I'll watch MTV instead.

The obvious answer is to use voice recognition.
A-and move to a big city, where you can stagger down the street talking to yourself and no one will think it's unusual.

on the undershirt cluster? Do you use fdisk or Tide?

Are they going to ban this discussion in Kansas?

Actually, I did no coding, and got no letter.

There's nothing to be correct about now, Linux is still free for the download, people are still developing it for free.
See what Linux looks like in a year, see who's right, RMS or suck.
They did get a little nasty, I'll agree, but it's probably sour grapes at their worthless WiReD options.
George
They usually know what they're talking about.
I'm optimistic that Open Source and the GPL will hold out against the worst aspects of greed, though.
SECOND?

Right, right, and NetBWP has been ported to more video standards than any other movie.
George
You know, FreeBWP, you get the script of the Blair Witch Project and get to reinterpret it as you see fit, and add any of your own features.
George
So, to keep with the GPL, what is the cheapest way for RedHat to make their GPL'ed software available at nominal cost?
Still probably ftp.

Not really, some PHB's want to pay for support, they want to have someone accountable on the other end of the phone.
If some PHB wants to pay for free support, well then, Linux support will appear in the marketplace.

My agent went to Linuxworld, I asked if he was going to wear a suit.
He said he'd wear his BeOS T-shirt.
So what was the ratio of suits to T-shirts at Linuxworld?
George
dang, I meant http://www.computersurplusoutlet.com
George
How much space do you need, and how much do you want to pay?
Computer Surplus outlet has 200 meg hd's for $19, 3-400 for $29 and up.
I get lots of stuff from them, and someday I'll even get a chance to put it together.

Are they out there and do they work with Linux?
And how about some great compression, to deal with the 2400 bps speed.

Nah, there's probably not enough oxygen.
