Have you patched your Win2000-2003 server today? If not you are putting the country at risk! Funny they knew about the hole 1 year ago and now it takes a Government security warning to get servers to listen. So as far as Windows security being a huge issue for MS? I just wonder how many Win servers are going to go into zombie mode in the next few weeks. If this latest security risk of MS is any indication . Seems that security certification is something which MS just buys, not something they really work at. Remember that North Korean cracker school story? Do not be supprised if MS servers get whacked in the near future, never underestimate people who are really mad at you, something the US and MS is famous for. It is really foolish to think that the North Koreans with Chinese help cannot do some serious infrastructure damage. Think of it from the enemies perspective, what a cheap way to cause damage! One hell of a lot cheaper than Nukes.
If this character really was interested in social change he would have done things differently, or perhaps his anger made him stupid. Hopefully after 9/11 we will still see constructive criticism as a social responsibility. The number of wrongly convicted Blacks in Texas is a testament to a lack of real democracy in parts of this country. Corruption in government is what needs to be exposed. Advocating violent overthrough is just plain stupid and a waste of talent. Perhaps what we need is a whistle blower web site, moderated by government appointed ombudsmen to take out the fake and vengfull crap that is sure come. Giving whistle blowers real protection. Blowing the whistle on things like false evidence used in Court, where individuals have been wrongly convicted could make a big difference in places like Texas. There is anger at government yes, but if there is something smells then the only to fix it is to fire the corrupt officials and bureaucrats, or make their lives hell by exposing the truth.
You would be suing a vapour co. USA. Should SCO loose they will not exist. You will need to start proceedings against the individuals who like all smart CEOs etc have themselves well removed from the gun sights. Look at how alot of the primary individuals have been dumping, the SEC might be the only way to get any action and stop this shit, a halt on SCO stock could do the trick. You definately cannot expect to sue for damages after the fact, because the shell that will be left of SCO will be completely chapter 11 status or just evaporated.
Slackware is not as much of a plug and play OS as Mandrake or Redhat, but it takes you closer to the fire as far as Linux goes. With Slackware you do really need to learn to use/etc/config, chown, man, and all the other linux essintials. Mandrake I would say it is actually easier to use than Win 2000, if you do not want to spend time learning Linux then Mandrake is the distro to use.
I have never really had any hardware compatability issues with Linux and find that if you do your homework most of the main stream stuff is supported. Some SCSIs can be problematic, so can some raids so check the listings, but by and large the mainstream manufactures are all well supported. There are even work arounds for some win modems now. And the dreaded 8029as (realtec chip) which polutes most cheap 10-100 cards and has funky drivers is also supported. So the best advice is check out the hardware supported docs, and join a lug. You will find that the web dev tools are great also, the gimp is incredible for designing web graphics. As far as contributing to OSS in general, get in touch with the dev guys using source forge, good bug reports and help with the docs is always appreciated and never discouraged. Bug testing in Linux is fun, You capture the output of gdb and use it as a ref to what screwed up. Get used to working from source rather than binaries and you can always help the coders.
The Dutch understood the power of wind, why not build a methane powered biocell. Implanting it would be interesting. There are time when I feel the need to do something about the potential myself.
What is great about Linux is you can make your own desktop. Few people realise how kustomisable KDE and Gnome are and Windowmaker really rocks. The really big difference is you can run a simple desktop without any buttons and./ everything in X Windowmaker for really fast customisable startups great for custom batch files. Like any other Os the more services you boot the slower to get things going. If you pair down KDE to the bones and make 3 or 4 different profiles under different user names it can run like lightning. What I do is use a paired down KDE with dev, and another with Office apps, and one with office and internet, one with only internet, and a full blown one for general purpose. No you did not ask a troll the thing that is great is you can just ctrl-alt-backspace to shut it off or use the switch users functions. For that matter if you set it up right you can run a whole pile of profiles at the same time. Take the trouble to learn to shell program and you will be amazed at what is possible. The best distros for that are still the ones that are closest to pure like Slackware. Mndrake and RedHat are much more difficult to customise and have many of the tools removed or they need to be added as they are not default installed. Most people turn off Linux because they miss the most important point learning to effectively use shells. You can make Linux smoke once you learn how things work. I do not say Linux is not for everyone and get on a GNU horse to preach but it sure is fun to really learn the potential. If you want the Os to dictate how everything is done and just run programs Win 98 is still a better choice than XP as far as I am concerned. From what I am seeing with XP alot faster too. It is funny but I see people still making XP run like a dog by using all the bells and whistles and then wondering why it runs like a slug!
No go without elaborate glucose level controls.

Low glucose levels are not a good thing, ask any diabetic. The first thing that tips you off is a headache. 100 watts is one heck of alot of drain. Though I dought whether this level of out put can last for more than a few seconds considering the human uses only a fraction of that to power muscles and biosystems combined. Even when we are working really hard our bodies are extreemly thrifty. As glucose levels drop we become dizzy and disoriented. If the liver can keep up glucose production then the effect passes. The feed back loop of hormones in a healthy individual then signals for more glucose production and the insulin cycle continues. This system would put one hell of a strain on the cycle and would make you tired so fast it could not be practical without some form of glucose level feed back that would shut it down if the levels got too low. Having the person quickly faint from low blood sugar levels is entirely possible. Though some./ers most likely know that if you hack for 24 hrs straight you can get a hell of a head ache without doing much physical labour. What am I saying, the one thing programmers try to avoid at all cost is real work. Most IT managers think that humans do not really need work breaks. Coke 'n pizza and give 'r does not work if you use muscles.
Yes if you get OO to work for them it is great, however they are confused why it takes longer to boot. This is not a problem for word, excel, IE, Outlook etc etc. Ms can tweak the OS to make their own software more desirable, it is called system hooks. Those same hooks cost OSS people and AOL big time money to license. Just look at the difference between proprietary dlls that you have to pay for and the stuff that comes with the MS compiler. In essence it is a cheat, there is no way that a company, say Netscape can make the browser use the OS the same way as MS. The same goes for AOL, and all the way down the line. That is why porting OSS ware to Windows is a fools gambit. The lock MS has on operability makes it so their versions will always out compete if push comes to shove. That is way the penalty of splitting the company was the only fair answer. To compete Linux will need to get more and more hardware people on side. It is the only way. My suggestion is the happy penguin certification. Companies that are Linux friendly should recieve free advertising in stores that want to sell OSS. To fight fire cold water is some times the only answer. Right now if you go into a retailer the MS A+ pimple faced tech discourages you from using Linux. We all know that in reality Mandrake is really a main stream distro now and any user could easily learn it. Even MSN and AOL keyword junkies.
The battle is hardware shelf space and it always has been. If I were to open a store there would be two sections for hardware MS stuff and stuff that is Linux friendly. That way the user would very quickly see that Linux mostly runs on the good stuff, like HP lasers, and dual processor boards etc.
Another good tactic is to let them run on the net in customer user profiles, with applications like Kstars. Especially show them the great math and science tools that are already there. Leave the other part of the store to braindead gamers, and Hot Mail, but point out that Hot Mail is actually quicker on BSD or Linux running KDE.
I do not have to leave, and I do not hate Americans. My family has been in North America since 1740 and contributed much by helping to feed the starving hobos during the dirty 30s. You could always get a meal and a flop on our farms. As to being spoiled I think you got it a little backwards. Thats OK you are just another consumer, who does not know when your belly hurts consumer goods mean squat. Do you know where the meaning of a mark came from? Look it up and learn what is really important in life. I just shake my head at the ignorance exibited by a group of people that are suckered into thinking of themselves as (consumers).
All we are succeeding in doing with high tech in North America is making a sows ear out of a silk purse. We take a wonderfull thing like internet technology and the best thing we can think to do with it is download mp3s and play shoot em up games, so our collective brain stagnates while those less priviledge who see the real potential, have the common sense to use it.
What will be worse is the button mail this discussion to a friend, and keep me informed when a new similar discussion starts, and mail it to my friends. Wow what an incredible ms innovation. I feel an new tech term of the week coming on......help I can't stop myself from using it...infospam, infospam, infospam say it three times and it will catch on. I have an Aunt that already thinks that I should automatically see all the info she spams all her friends with gota love microsoft. It has got so bad that I filter her stuff direct to trash and burn now.
It is the Citrix lock that they are after, with Munich going Suse alot of small town and city hall ma and pa people are taking notice. Hey why the hell should we spend 4 or 5 million on Win servers when we can get the same hardware and support at less cost with Linux. It is happening all over Europe and it will happen all over North America. The target of Suse and Sun is the MS small intranet market which in reality is bigger than the internet. Boy/. readers can sure be blind to anything other than the server side net apps, most of them wouldn't know a thin client from a fat pipe!
When just about any cracker worth his salt can start a news group, what the hell do you expect. I can give you one hell of a good reason for MS to sql weasel into usenet. To find crackz and warez and get the servers shut down. They have tried in the past but their usenet trolls kind of fell flat. I just wonder what they are up to now. Maybe that is why they are licensing sco, they might need some real multi proccessor power to crunch the numbers to get at the thieves and scoundrals that steal MS software world wide. Even the clever Chinese won't be able to hide from MS UNIX. Bill is just sitting there gritting his teeth and swearing under his breath about the fact that Inet tech can be free from MS domination and control. He wants the world and he wants it now. LETS GIVE IT TO HIM. Use Linux, BSD, APPLE or anything else and let him eat cake, and play with his XBOX.
For some reason or other I think the Indians would look at some of these posts and shake their heads. Appropriate cost effective tech is all important to Indians, haggling the cost of things is a way of life in India and most are quite proud of the fact. To do something cheaper and more efficiently is an Indian strong point. Just look where some of the most brilliant math scientists and technicians are coming from today.
No India will find a way of employing tech that will be radically different than the West. You can bet that they will learn from our mistakes caused by dot com stupidity and greed. No dot com debacle for them. The gold rush is over, we are about to lose out because we do not know how to be realistic in our commerce. We do not see the importance of the changes in the world economy. The concept of a GNP is not a concept of economic growth, and to say that growth in GNP is a measure of developement is a falacious assumption, especially in countries like India of China.
To assume that this tech is expensive is rediculous, the cost of sending messangers, sending teachers to remote areas, Doctors, technicians, administraters, health nurses, more than offsets the cost of the tech and equipment. Our problem in the west is that everything computer has to have bells, whistles, video candy, and super fast expensive communication tech. Funny but simple video communication that we have been able to do since the early 1990s will catch on and be a great boom for India. We ignored it because we didn't care to use it for anything other than goofy web garbage cam and it did not entertain us sufficiantly. We are becoming a shallow silly over endulged bunch of brain dead consumers and it shows. Most of the rest of the world doesn't envy us, they fear, and some pity our greed.
Isaac Asimov books are great, especially about quantum physics, always have been always will be. He doesn't talk down to you and his insights are always brilliant. They are a bit dated but still relevant, and always interesting. Sometimes the best thing to do when you do not understand something like the quadradic formula is to back track and use simple tools then when you start to see with algebra things start to make sense. It is always true that visualisation of the effects of variables is important and until one starts to see in math it is about the same as reading music until you start to see with your ears. For some it comes easy others not. If interest is not there then it is almost impossible. What would be great is if patterns in math became more of a teaching tool. Some of the best math insights come from thinking about how to write an equation to create a pattern. Thats is how great discoveries have come.
Most likely investment sub companies owned by people who keep their names out of the transactions. It would be really great anti-Linux/GNU strategy to buy licenses and stock to make sure SCO stays in business long enough for the FUD factor to hurt big time.
He is right, the standard forms that MS is going to use are.NET Visual Studio extentions. You will not be doing simple html forms in notepad any more. CSS will go away in the MS interpretation of the net. The reason why is MS office will be able to use WinForms directly with the required hooks to your spread sheet or your document. Just think it will be so efficient all you have to do is buy MS Windows, Office, and keep it secure yourself, buy more software to protect you against crackers, and update your system. Then you can do business on the net. Without that you will not be able to exist. W3C standards are something which MS just laughs at, the last thing they want is standards for web forms. Of course the very fact that you have to shut the fucking things off so that you can use Win XP without spending half your time clicking at all the stupid MS.NET web forms that popup is a little annoying, and is pissing off alot of business people. Mozilla rules! MS sucks.
There is no such thing as a windows nt crash.. only a tempory set back. I wish you non windows guys would get that straight windows doesn't crash. It is full of holes gets viruses, and a case of the worms now and then, but it never really crashes. It just doesn't work sometimes. Its resting pining for the fjords not dead! Like bsd oh shit I had better check my Hot Mail see thats how good windows works I can always get my hot mail.
The more security holes that can be found the better things are for Microsoft and Symantec, well at least for now. The whole trusted computing innitiative is being shoved down out throut by Sen Fritz and his co-horts. What better way to do that then to close up the internet to so called untrusted traffic from anything other than Win/Intel Fritz encoded bits. That is what the gist of the trusted computing innitiative is all about, being able to disable computers remotely. The whole MS virus routine has been a smoke screen, they could have stopped virus and worm bullshit years ago but had too much trouble on their hands with a law suite that they settled out of court. Since then MS has been very reluctant to really do squat about the virus problem, security and some system utils that would be really nice to have included in you OS. I use 32 bit XXcopy not ghost to give you a hint. They can come after me and sue me I do not care. But the bullshit has got to stop, before they really setback the tech revolution with the so-called trusted computing innitiative. Just maybe something good may come out of this maybe there will be a real free internet and the other one for castrated MS/Intel computers users, but we had better act fast to keep xml from being totally co-opted by.NET
Ya if you grow p0t it will be easier for them to check for electrical usage signatures from grow lights. Woa watch out there goes the rest of the British Columbia economy. And alot of Oregon too! Maybe all the hippies will just move to Silicon Valley and buy up all the cheap realestate after the Dragon Chip takes over.
This could really help with broader data transfer on scientific studies. Remote environmental sensors along a sensitive part of a river transmitting to a data crunch relay, for studying fish habitat comes to mind. The 02 saturation, water temp stream level, even chemical changes could be easily watched during critical periods. I am sure there are very many other uses, building air conditioning zones, dangerous chemical sniffers. Really scookum alarm systems that can send all sorts of local data from different locations to a hub. As far as I am concerned the internet apps would be suitable for text mail, and thats about it but the broader practical applications are huge.

There is anger at government yes, but if there is something smells then the only to fix it is to fire the corrupt officials and bureaucrats, or make their lives hell by exposing the truth.
You would be suing a vapour co. USA. Should SCO loose they will not exist.

You definately cannot expect to sue for damages after the fact, because the shell that will be left of SCO will be completely chapter 11 status or just evaporated.
I have never really had any hardware compatability issues with Linux and find that if you do your homework most of the main stream stuff is supported.

The 02 saturation, water temp stream level, even chemical changes could be easily watched during critical periods. I am sure there are very many other uses, building air conditioning zones, dangerous chemical sniffers. Really scookum alarm systems that can send all sorts of local data from different locations to a hub. As far as I am concerned the internet apps would be suitable for text mail, and thats about it but the broader practical applications are huge.
