OOPs your right but according to/. and some very assinine people it is dead. Then they go off and read their Hot Mail. BSD is great also but is much more Inet focused. I would like to see the much derided Darwin project advance. However the core OS of BSD moves like my bowels through dev stages, which in some ways is great if you want an internet server OS but if you want a scientific research platform, or embeded system for a product can be a little restrictive. My dream is a music notation OS with a modified USB music notation keyboard, much like music notation type writers used to be like. A logical music keyboard layout not qwerty. There is no reason why BSD or Linux could not be used for this purpose, as well as all the other good GNU stuff. To impliment something like this under MS windows you would fighting Coda, Adobe, Cakewalk and MS itself to get the thing to work, if they didn't steal it first.

Whats really funny is watching the engineers wince at some of the shit they have to listen to.
Try recording a Granados piece like one of his Spanish Dances that calls for ppp passeges. Then you are a real recording engineer, for that matter a musician that can play and make the dynamics mean something is a rare bird, and usually cannot be bought. Todays recording studios have got nothing on what was done with good mics, tubes and tapes by the engineers and producers that did Archive, Columbia, Angel and the like back in the early 1960s when people actually cared about dynamics. Sure they have lots more equipment and all the bells and whistles but their ears are suspect. It is far better to be deaf and just watch the levels now a days, collect pay check and punch the clock. If I were to do it I would make sure I limited my exposure to high DB. I already have paid enough of that price, I am down atleast 20% and I used to be called eagle ears.
Try to create a modified OS environment that does some specific function with any other OS other than Linux. First thing that happens is that you run afoul of the software license, if you do not pay to use it, and then you are really restricted in what you can do. That is the great strenght of Linux and GNU you are perfectly free to use it as a dev platform in anyway you see fit. If your version is worth while then it will survive. It is the perfect dev platform for really advanced embeded systems. The ideal thing is to create a killer device which becomes a real product. At that point the software becomes secondary, and if you need to bow to Redmond or where ever so that your system can work then you are at a disadvantage when the company whose OS you use decides that your device is something they really have to own. Patent devices not software. Give the really inventive people freedom from rediculous constraints. GNU/Linux is the way of the future. Let MS patent every concievable system function software sequence and and eventually new American tech will grind to a halt. Look how long affordable 64 bit systems have taken to reach the market. This is purely the doing of IBM, Intel and Microsoft. But then again what does a home user need 64 bit for. Of course there are no applications that a MS wants to think of. The RIAA would have kittens if 24/96 recording became easy on the home computer. Also small art schools would be able to do too much. Budding digital artists using Maya and like tools would get too good too quickly. Advanced scientific tools available to all schools and teachers. Oh hell you cannot have little people doing things that only rich guys can do.
This is the reason why high tech is going off shore, not that we are stupid just that we are stupid enought to let the major corporations control the future of tech. The real cost of advancements in computer tech has been the software. GNU/Linux has thrown a wrench in the works and eventually will open up 64 bit tech in the Orient and Europe. This will happen so fast that Microsoft, IBM, and Intel will not even know what happened. American government intervention on their behalf (like what happened with tron) will not help the giants this time. Compete or die is going to be the answer from the government in future. As so it should be.
"Every time a tech person gets on the TV and tells the world that your credit card info isn't safe on a computer, constituents write Congress looking for a fix."
A good thing the credit card companies can do is make automatic daily e-mail encripted notifications of transaction sent to the private e-mail address of the card holder. This info would not have to include the card #, but could be key coded to only be viewed by the real card owner. This service should be offered free to card holders. That way credit card abuse and theft could more quickly be discovered. Saving credit card companies millions. I can do it with my bank account why the hell can I not do it with my credit card. Most likely the software people have tried to do this already but the card companies are to cheap. Some of their interest rates almost remind me of the street corner lenders or Mickies Loans, maybe that is what they really are, they don't really give a shit.
Your at your credit limit theres no more goods to buy if you just pay the interest we'll bill you till you die
That is the point of the rental.NET framework. You cannot do anything original unless you pay to rent the.NET scripting tools. I'll stick with OSS thank you and the ability to create something new for the actual system not just the shells that ride on it. Windows itself in reality cannot be modified except by MS. The concept of a modular OS intrigues me and leaves open the possibility in future of many different micro distros for distinct purposes. A much more attractive situation for science apps and technical specific coding. Even though the OS base of GNU/Linux originally was mostly Unix (communication system) based, it has the modular capacity that you need to apply it in many different ways. To do that with an MS base is kind of like the Canary asking the Cat for help!
Windows is too integrated to ever act like a unix based system. The windowing is the OS in essense, that is the problem. Tools that are essential for sys-admin cannot simply be run from a command syntax inteface like dos or unix. What you desire MS left behind long ago. On the premise that MS sys-admins were brain dead. (they turned out to be correct)
The only thing that they are scared about is that the Linux desktop will eat their lunch because it will be able to do both, and the windowing tech will actually catch up to MS as well. KDE is getting close already and is getting very stable. Learn how to startx and get a real computer OS.
What they are really looking for is if they can identify any software system function sequences that have obviously been reversed. Then add that to the fire against open source. The exercise is to also find as many new coding common sense short cuts that they can use. The thing is they do not have to reverse open source to steal any good ideas from it, but they can sue open source people if they can prove that a patented function sequence or interface has been reversed.
If they do succeed in discouraging OSS coders from coding to fill application requirements of business, then this will not kill Linux but it will surely entrench MS as the only business software you can get. Do they deserve the market share that they have? No. How will they keep the market share? Like they always have by destroying anything they cannot absolutely control. Fortunately Intel has been getting a little pissed at them lately, as have alot of hardware manufacturers. Hopefully the industry will gang up on them and finally kick the shit out of Billy and Co.
"TAI got drained of operating funds because it unconstitional to psy on citizens of the US within USA borders..by either CIA or FBI."
That is most silly spelling error ever. PSY ops is a real military term. To spy on citizens is nothing new, and is legal, if there is probable cause. The RIAA is doing it, though I hope they will get their weiner whacked when things go to court.
If however the FBI and the CIA has cause to suspect actions that can harm to US citizens are being planned then it is just plain stupid not to try different approaches to prevent these activities. The problem is in the past this has been misused by people with political punch to entrap the little guy, case in point John Delorian. If information gathering is to work then we need to keep it tightly under wraps and scutiny by the government. There have been abuses by government officials in the past J. Edgar is the best example. The accountability of civil servants, which the CIA and FBI are, has always been the problem. Hopefully the days of despotic bureaucrats are over.
The only qualification for most IT workers is a little piece of paper that says you can run Windows Server. This does not mean you really need to know squat. Just which GUIs to use to assign priviledge, and how to set up networking clients for business, if you need big data bus application links then you need someone with real knowledge. After taking an MS IT course you might as well be brain dead. Which unfortunately most MS trained IT people are.
This is "non starter post" obviously from a gui glued non startx human imitation of a bot, who would not even know a real desktop if it bit it. Try taking apart the XP top and making it do whatever the hell you want or creating a single purpose top for yourself that you can use in combination with any other top you choose, and try doing that without buying any other software to re-write your lame duck windows registry for you. You know nothing, and are better off using windows anyway you have sucker written all over your post.
Problem when you buy a computer with windows installed on it you are not buying a copy of the Os. To buy a single site full version will cost you more than that. All you get with the computer is a single site none transferable ( to any other computer ) restore disk, that runs home to mama to report you as a thief if you try to use it, on any other computer for any other good reason. That is what costs you $199 US and alot more for the so called "pro" that can run on boxes that are a real computer system, again only for that single site licence. Overpriced and restrictive? It even assumes that you are a crook. Blow windows out your ass.
I think that those who develope code under the gpl are not that interested in who uses it. The way I see it is the branch dev on OS X do not conflict with the gpl. If Jobs wants to make money selling more expensive pro-science machines thats fine. He is not co-opting gnu apps by making them work on his platform. If you take the gnu apps completely ripp off the code change the name and copy write it and then make out that it is your software then that is ripping them off. If Jobs does that then he deserves to get his but kicked. But alowing the use of GPL apps on your Os is not a bad thing. Greasing the pockets of GPL code writers is not a bad thing either, as long as the good code remains open the whole thing will work. The people who write crap and then gpl it will just as soon find that it evaporates, which is the way things should be. As things are now you can write crap, close its source and sell it to unsuspecting users, shitty closed code has become a heaven for the coders who would use the net to rip people off. There is no system of certification for a Windows coder you can write what ever the hell you want and hide what it really does from the user. That is the difference, and the reason why closed source software like Microsoft eventually will kill itself. It is too much of a target for criminal coders. In open source you have no where to hide.
If MS windows takes the educational high ground, then the axiom that the average computer user is stupid will be proven. Making scientific computing available at a low cost is a noble goal. Go write some useless windows junkware, or game, I am sure you can peddle it to the average computer user. But do not fault those who try to keep the arts and the sciences available to those with ability and little money. In short go take a flying f...
Yes this is flamebait but you friggin' deserve it.
Good choice of name, maybe they have come up with a signal drop interface that just creates snow on your screen when you experience data stream dropout. Then you would actually think you are watching tv.
The big question is why the hell does anybody carry C4 or something like it into a shopping mall. Can you tell me that someone who parks a load of Amex in the parking lot of your local Piggely Wiggely has every right to do just that because he is pissed at the manager that fired him! No you are perfectly free to carry around things however there does need to be rational exceptions, boy Americans get stupid when they confuse rights and social responsibilities. If you drive a car down the road with something strapped to the roof, say a chair. You then get stopped by a cop because it is falling off. Should you get mad at the police officer! Get real.
Now she has and realises how friggin' lame mp3s really are. She has a good cd collection and a good NEC with some Kefs. Sounds one hell of alot better than the shit that comes over the net. She is a musician herself and whole heartedly agrees. Leave the mp3s and computers for the tone deaf junk pop fans, we use real audio equipment.
Kazaa license my but... it doesn't mean squat if you cannot see the source, or your not computer literate enough to track its foot print.
Attention Gort please attend conference in Redmond..stop Use any means necessary to stop software piracy by major software firm and individuals...stop Clatu
The whole Morphius Kazaa Bonzi Buddy thing was a plant by RIAA sponsored software writers! Spyware is one of the specialties of all this shit. When my daughter used that shit I just used cfdisk and now I do not have a problem. A good session with cfdisk cleans your windows of bugshit and RIAA spyware! She is forbidden to file swap shit MP3s and has been for 4 years My windows computer gets a regular cfdisk and partion copy using the 32 bit free extended xxcopy. So I do not worry about restoring my registry after a reinstall I just keep a usable clean win 98 back up on another hard drive and clean any spyware shit by hosing the other harddrive all together when it starts to get corrupted. XP can go take a flying leap. If the RIAA comes after me for my daughters past file swapping they are in for one hell of a fight. I am not your average windows dummy and watched the url returns on the cookies and registry redirects. If the RIAA used the spyware routine to entrap parents I will take them to the cleaners I need the money!
You miss the point. It is the signature of the different hydrogen ions in certain concentrations that is sensed and then process quantified. The analysis excludes ordinary free hydrogen, and other hydrogen based componds. You detect the signature of dangerous explosives not just the presence of hydrogen. It will take a long time to even approach the sensitivity of an explosive sniffing dog! But it will be tech that can be cheaply applied and remotely used in strategic locations 24hrs a day, something that is very expensive and difficult to do with sniffer dogs and existing sensor tech.
Give the poor guy a chance he might have alot of trouble getting his black currant juice bottle out of the place the Bikers might put it!
Big Bamboo tech is real cool shit though! I've used it for steelhead and salmon fishing old fashion style in big West Coast rivers. Once for once it is tougher than a Harley.
On a heavier note (on the scale of gases) there have been times when I have eaten Mexican food and have caused the evacuation of public places unintentionally. If a system to detect explosive methane was as sensitive as these devices might be and was wrongly calibrated, I might have been arrested. Some commented I should have been. Some said I should not have beans. But like all things that have been it passed.
It is entirely possible that the innocent lives lost in Oaklahoma could have been spared if we viewed the government the way we should. Government for the people, by the people, and of the people. Rather than the media hype we see about abuses. Yes there are abuses yes there is corruption, but blowing up hard working free individuals is not how to make a difference. If anything Timothy succeeded where right wing fanatical polititians have failed in causing greater restriction of public access to the political system and public participation in government. The Bush style republicanism is starting to make a mockery out of the very great words that I quoted from the greatest of the Republicans. If anything is to be learned from this is that to debate and dispute is a right we should cherish, and the ability to correct abuses is central to good democracy. The shame is not that an individual can destroy on a large scale the shame is that it has happened, and exposive detection will need to be in all public conveyances in the near future.
