Also, I remember at University of Oregon, they had a big boards, where people post an ads of things they sell/buy/information/etc. And it was quite popular, and a lot of people were checking it out everyday. So, to print out the page that says something like: "In our library we have books that shows how to intall and use the Linux Operating System. Linux - free OS... etc., etc.". That may also help.
a couple of years ago, ive lived in Eugene, OR. The home of Oregon State University. And I've tried to get a job in their big library. From my resume they could understand that I have no interest in MS products. And I could understand after a interview that they have no interest to use an open source OS in any way. But that was back in 1999, so things maybe different these days, since a lot of *inc & *org have a low budgets and trying to save the dollars any way they can. So its maybe a very good time to push free software (open source, etc.) anyway we can.
Interesting if they could take the human DNA and go back all the way to see if we really came from monkeys. which doesnt make any sense for me (at least now).
&subj how many updates do you do per month? (System wide updates, kernel upgrates, or wm updates) I have my stuff running for months before Ill upgrate kernel or wm... if I need to, or if there is something essential that I cant live w/o. To pay that much money, you must be having at least couple upgrates per day, or say upgrating whole company to new Ximian gnome desktop, or something like that. Otherwise its not worth the money IMHO.
&subj. to see how slashdot.org becomes a ground for advertisment and spam, i.e. "review" of various windows (!) games, and weekly reports on how good PS2 or other console doing at this holiday season.
* For example, there are at least five different window managers and at least four competing browsers, increasing programming complexity and reducing the pool of available developers.
It reminds me about my post about KOffice today, where I said: don't try to innovate a bicycle if it's already made. Sure you can develop 100 window managers, 40 browsers and another cool mp3 player or image viewer... but focusing more people on some particular problem, will produce a better output. Just my opinion.
I was always wondered why wouldn't a rich company like MS hire good/talented programmers to fix the damn bugs in it's software!?!?! Why?!! Well maybe because they want people to upgrade for years, etc.
this KOffice just doenst work as good as StarOffice does. I JUST opened my resume created in StarOffice (6.0beta) in KWord, and MS Word 2000, and it looks exactly same in MS and Sun's Office, but looks ugly and not right in KWord. And I DO NOT use a single table in it, just centered header and underlined/bold section and plain text. Hey, they can do whatever they want to do, do KOffice, WOffice, or whatever, I don't care. But when it comes to people comparing KDE's office to StarOffice or MS Office, you either do it right or be quite. I have nothing againts KDE, I'm using it as my wm, and love it! But I'd suggest don't waste time to innovate a bicycle when it's already created.
We've practically given the Russians all of the money for there module as well.
So, let me ask you why wouldn't great US didn't build the module themselfs? Hmmm... wierd. Or why for example Boeing has a design branch in downtown Moscow?
hah, 30 years ago, in the beginning of space age you was glad that you got there at all! At that time there was far more problems then collecting junk at the orbit, grow up!
the only *true* linux distro out there, (maybe SuSe, but i never used that one). I love Slackware installer, everything to the point, and I dont want it to change, or be 'better'. I dont see point to port something to something else if it doesnt work by itself. I'm sure they could put all those hours to make debian a dicent distro, rather then waste the time to do such useless hybrid. Linux is linux. Porting Linux distro to some microcrap's OS is like selling out to microcrap.
they didnt have TV for five years, and just after 1 week or so (after taliban moved out), they already have internet, phone lines (i assume they using modems to get online), and writing emails, watching movies, and going to parties. Sounds real to me.
On the side note, what is American culture? I thought there is no culture in the US.

Exactly. I wish I could die naturally, not from some kind of pollution or some kind of a nuclear war, but I doubt that would happen.
in USSR we celebrate "Old New Year", and X-mas we have on 7th of Jan. So not all parties are over yet :)
care to say what the names of those companies? Or at least their competitors. Or you just want to dig up some information on bio-tech industry?
If we could replace all AOL's "Free 1000 hours" CD somewhere on US Postal Service storage facility, with the linux disto's, that would help for sure.

how sad...
I just wondering what's BeOS is. Is it free? Whats the point of using it?

I dont trust 'auto-update/download' type of tools anyway. The tar.gz file is the only way to go.

hhaa stupid cowboy... where is your horse?

agree on first two, dunno about last coz i dont play/have/interested in consoles.

and I bet you silly americans think that US won 2nd world war, and landed man on the moon that time, ho-ho-ho!

yeah, now lets see if NMD will save america from the attack, it just makes me laugh so hard.
also it reminds me about our factories and pollution... nobody cared for years... now we have a big question 'what do we do now?'
hah, 30 years ago, in the beginning of space age you was glad that you got there at all! At that time there was far more problems then collecting junk at the orbit, grow up!
where do i stick *.exe file? Thank you.
