As a reseller, I can assure you can buy a computer from HP without an operating system but it has to be a BTO (build to order). You have to order it using the Top Config and it will end up being more expensive than the same computer with Windows, but if that makes you happy, you can do it.
The only computers any well-known brand (HP, IBM, Fujitsu, Acer, etc) will sell without any OS straight from factory (that is, no BTO) are the very low end machines ($200-300).
Magnolia is a really nice and powerful CMS in Java, with a BSD license. I have been involved in several serious projects (>300 hits/second) using Magnolia and it has always performed very well. Of course, we tuned the JVM, Tomcat, the Linux kernel and almost everything you could ever imagine.
After evaluation, if you decide Magnolia is the CMS you are going to use, I advise to take the official training. It's worth the price.
Looks like the Swedish Police is making a free, wide and very positive campaign to favor the Piracy Party. I bet they will be getting a lot more votes thanks to this weird operation. Thank you Swedish police officers!
They had people with cancer and they asked whether they were using/had been using a mobile phone. What a stupid question!. Pretty much everybody in Europe has a mobile phone since 2000: children (and I mean 7 y-o children!), adults and old people (>80 y-o). Mobile telephony has a penetration rate about 90% in Europe!
They may have asked if they were drinking *water* as well, and the conclusion of the study would have been exactly the same.
Yes, but this does not address the problem we were talking about: the GPL gives you nothing when your problem is you need money. You are equally fucked either you are BSD or GPL.
That's in case they could get a dual-licensed version of that code. Most times there is so many people involved in a project it's impossible to get everybody to agree on another license, much less on selling that code.
Remember when some company tried to get a one-time BSD-licensed Linux kernel? No way, and it had nothing to do with the amount of money being offered: they were plainly said 'no'.
And what about Wine? Don't you remember about the change from X11-license to LGPL and Transgaming trying to start the Rewind project?
What's so difficult to understand for those GPL zealots out there?
Theo is NOT talking about code. He couldn't care less about the code!
He's talking about MONEY. OpenBSD and OpenSSH need money to pay Theo's (and other's) income, bandwidth, servers, etc. How does the GPL help when you need money? It does NOT help!
Yes, it does exactly what it suggests: mounts a Samba share (the same thing you were doing when you were using Windows)
So, point one: you do not need to use NFS
Now let's go for point two. And I will not extend here. Just a tip: man fstab, then go to the fourth field (options) and look for help on the "user" option.
Unix guru and was not able to install Oracle in one week??? Gee, looks like someone has lied here.
I'm not saying Oracle is easy to install, but you can do it for sure in a couple of hours (less if you are using a supported Linux and follow the installation instructions).
And using Windows XP as the operating system for a database server? Are you kidding?
Re:Firefox

AJAX and IE7?

He's talking about a intranet application for his company. To state it clearly: it's an in-company application, so you have full control.
Where's the problem telling users to employ Firefox? Hell, most companies oblige you to use Microsoft Word to write your documents and Outlook to manage your e-mail. What's the difference when telling people "you must start Firefox when using the accounting application"?
What's the problem with IE7? You can solve the problem by not using IE7 at all. You can install Firefox in every machine in your company, regardless it's Windows, Linux, Mac or whatever. Even more, you can use Mozilla as a framework to deploy a webapp (including XUL) as it were a binary app. And I think there's a project called MozRunner to allow distributing a plain AJAX webapp as it were a binary app, no need to run Mozilla/Firefox at all.
No DRM in the business edition? Then everybody and his brother will install Windows Vista Corporate with a Volume License Key which requires no activation, just like people did with Windows XP.
In Spain the affair described in the story would have translated in a fine of 600,000 EUR (US $714,000) in application of the Organic Law on Protection of Personal Data and the judge blaming the company for not taking enough care of data.
Now, that's stupid. No, it's not the way your PS broke, it's your post that's stupid.
You cannot believe the service parts price is the actual part price. It's not.
Let's illustrate this with an example. I sold an HP laptop to a client 22 months ago. The wholesale price for that computer was below $800. 4 months ago, coke fried the mainboard. Do you want to know the price for a new mainboard? A whopping $1400, labour excluded.
Should I conclude HP was selling the laptop at a loss? No. The right conclusion is HP does not want to store parts, they'd rather sell you a new computer because storing parts, repairing and so is very costly in logistics and administrative costs. Same for your PS.
The Via C3 processor is almost a 586-class CPU, the problem being it does not implement the cmov instruction. You cannot run 586 or 686 kernels/packages on it, stick to 486 or 386.

That "stream computing" sound to me like "Citrix on steroids", i. e. dumb terminals which get high-quality, real-time graphics and sound
I'd say it's more of a Fantastico replacement than a cPanel or Plesk replacement.

My University applied and was rejected. There were many students expecting the acceptance, including myself.
The worst of all is Google just says "Sorry, you are not being accepted" but they won't tell you why. That's discouraging.
That study is non-sensical!

You can explicitly mount/unmount Samba shared. *Nothing* is secure if the user has local root on the system!
Absolutely correct :-)
Go for a HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 Tape Drive. It stores 800 MB compressed (2:1) data.
Ever heard of smbmount?
Yes, it's part of the Samba package.
Yes, it does exactly what it suggests: mounts a Samba share (the same thing you were doing when you were using Windows)

What did you not understand in "HP laptop"? By definition, a laptop is a computer where only original pieces fit.
By the way, I did not buy the HP mainboard. I threw the computer into trash after I got the hard drive.
Now, that's stupid. No, it's not the way your PS broke, it's your post that's stupid.

A few months ago Cisco bought Scientific Atlanta and now Motorola buys Kreatel (it makes sense, although Forbes said Motorola still had an advantage over Cisco).
There's few independent players left in the STB arena. I wonder how long until somebody buys Amino, I3Micro or FedTec.
Creation Watch is a good resource to know about these pityful facts. By the way, the whole world is laughing at the USA.
