Or if you look at the bottom of the page, the site is hosted by Redhat. Perhaps the same people who had the hint at Redhat tried to move the effort out into the community in general.
In my experience, it can seriously vary. Many times I have found no-one is willing answer anything that is not an intermediate question. Newbie stuff gets you flamed or ignored, and advanced stuff just gets you ignored. (Unless a senior person on the project is interested in that area)
I had a PCMCIA kernel bug in RedHat 8 that I got all the support in the world for from RedHat bugzilla users. But many times I can sit in an IRC channel with 60 people and not get a single answer.
I also have now learned so much about the standard init processes on my own that I have submitted PCMCIA script patches to a few distro's. Did I want to become a master of obscure hardware? No, but since the people who knew wouldn't answer me (and I found several pages of people running the same hardware and distro) I had to learn it. And what is worse is that I had to submit the patched, not the many people who fixed the problem before me on their own.
It really does piss me off. It is not that all open source people are dicks, but many do have the "1|\/| 13373R 7|-|@|\| j00" attitude and flat out ignore you.
Some projects I have found to support the community very well, but there really are quite a few people out there who tarnish the community image.
Just for reference, I have a MacOSX Powerbook G4, and a Gateway Solo running RedHat 8 with Crossover and MS Office. The only thing I ever need to use windows for is administrative, auditing, and forensic tools. My only complaint with open source in general is that Windows seems to be Mozilla's stablest platform.
True, Linux is a completely workable platform, but it requires flexibility, patience, and technical skill. The fact that NASA is using a crossover environment may not be newsworthy, but it is a nice step closer to making people expectations be that that should be able to wordprocess on any platform without pain and suffering.
When the general public's expectations change, MS will support open source without the need for products like crossover. Using crossover at NASA causes just a few more people to have that expectation.

I hope that this is not considered too offtopic, because I would really like to get some responses.
I would like a "pvr"-like software that can control a radio tuner card, and dump it to mp3.
In my area we have two NPR stations in the area, and Art Bell on a normally sports at night. Car Talk and Art Bell would make an mp3 player worth it.
I have seen a script that records and automatically names files that it records from the/dev/dsp, but this does not control the tuner for me. The have considered cron to change the stations, but I have no experience with any radio tuner software and would like an integrated way to do it.
I would also like to know what type of tuner others use.
This pricing is common to Cleveland, and may have since come down. I havn't been consulting for two years, but this was a very good a price competitive solution for most of my customers.
$300 a month, one tile, unlimited power, T3 connectivity. You provide the UPS, Rack, and Servers, they provide a chair and an ashtray. Works for me, and you can sublease the rack space.
Ermm, the Video version of snagit is canastia studio. exactly what he said he did not want to use. You go to the techsmith website and canastia studio ads take up half the screen.
Please look at this persons past posts, she is a troll that always gets modded up. She has an inflamatory opinion on everything. A not so obvoius troll, because she is a good one.
Umm, considering AOL is largly a TCL app, and has been around since before NT, I somehow doubt they run the service off of NT or have a ever had a large number of MCSE's.
At least Ohio, Illinois, Florida, and Massachussets have never honored non-compete clauses. They require something called "due compensation". I think the concepts is self explanitory. IAALLB (I am a labor lawyers brother)
amavis works wonders, I have a Solaris version of sendmail server with over 30K mailboxes, and I use Amavis with McAfee to keep my windows environment nice and clean. Just buy a copy of McAfee for workstations (around $20-60 dollars depending on your relationship with NAI) and hook it into Amavis, and you are all set! It even uses the normal NAI dats!
I can hack in the summer now... I can hack in rooms with no windows... I have no excuse to go outside because its "nice", its nice inside too! The code red stays nice and cool!

Now if I can only convince my employer that I need a dual procesor box with a GeForce4 for research in "Hand-eye coordination and its development as influenced by realistically rendered 3D environments: A study in vitual ordinance trajectories and avoidance"

It doesn't seem to control a tuner, but it does look slick.

Check out Net Intercept. They say with asymetric keys, but I assume they meant symetric.
Read the PDF they provide here.

I am sitting here in a graduate corporate finance class, and you made me laugh so hard my stomach almost came out my nose.

Umm, AOL did that, it was called GNN (Global Network Navigator), and they dropped it in 97. They had even acquired it from O'Reilly and Associates.

Uhh, yeah, but then I could have encrypted something to him complaining about that.
Aww, come on, your key isn't even on the keyserver.
I was going to guess that the server itself was not in bhutan, but according to asia-pacific nic, it is... 202.144.155.2
Umm, the article states that HP did this because Dell is getting into the printer market.
