There is absolutely no reason why you cannot create a viable software addition to free software that can remain your IP. Coders that are good at creating taylored apps for specific needs will always make good money. With open source you do not have to pay for the framework to create from, big difference. If you get good enough you can create in effect your own distro taylored to individual needs. Try that with MS based framework without paying big time for a peek at MS proprietary libs! There are many ways to make money with Open Source and also contribute back. What will happen in Brasil is that the OSS people will be valued and the time licenced logic bombed closed source shit will evaporate. I am aware of the update strategies of alot of companies that remain closed source. When your support license expires there are things that just start to happen and you cannot figure out why, because you cannot see the source of the software that you bought a license to use. Closed source creates a place for cheaters and corporate theives to hide and will eventually be discredited. Business around the world is finally waking up to this fact. The US has become a closed country so the truth about this is suppressed. Nothing pisses Microsoft more than the fact that they can not get away with what companies that write with their tools for their OS can. You might be an ethical and responsible software dev person but not all Windows based companies are. Everybody is still trying to get mega rich off IT and the bubble is already burst. There will be no more mega rich software monopoly companies one was enough.
Then it is back to solution one only authenticated servers and mail, either that or a separated autheniticated pay for email service that is only point to point, and does not allow masked forwarding. Small ISP would not be able to afford implimentation unless there was a return. It could work though there are many who would pay to be on such a system. Businesses would also use it for legit advertising and customer updates and product info. That way any email that people receive with the old protocol would just be considered junk. Problem is you would need to exclude Microsoft software users, Which in reality would not be a bad thing. To get in touch with the company you would need to have authentication reciepts from the original mail. Same thing could be done by an ordinary user, mail a company and they can only reply to you one reply at a time. Most real businesses would not object to this at all. There has to be an easy way to authenticate traffic, the solutions Microsoft is implimenting suck. They are based upon everybody using their authentication software certificates, and are going to be included in Longhorn. This system will make all software and.NET code not run unless it has an authentication ident tag. I hope the MS virus and e-mail crap and their solution to it brings the bastards down. It is the script kiddies running MS mass mailers that are the biggest spammers. They even send you spam trying to recruit you if you are at all tech savy. Some of the software that they try to sell you is as bad as an NT Inet server and just about as much money!
Simple solution charge more on the monthly cost to users that send more than 250 emails a month or make darn sure that they are legit businesses with genuine e-mail adverts. Charge them more for that based on the mail out rate. Spammers will evaporate overnight. If the isps would make this one move and be in agreement with users to impliment this. Make mass e-mailers that are not legit business pay through the nose. It can be done the ISPs will need to do that or change the protocol to stop forged addresses. One or the other take your choice. The opt out thing is a friggin' joke. Flame me but the situation is that simple.
I dropped red hat because they do not document switchdesk very well. I am running Slack 9 the manager is xwmconfig the docs are not lacking but the gui is really simple. Patrick uses the solution that the default you can change in root and a/home user can change their own preference I just set this user profile back to Gnome. So when I ctrl-alt-bkspc and then just type startx again. If I create multiple users then I can set the root preference to no X and each of the users to a different desktop. However you have to switch user to go into a different session anyway. I will look to see if there is another way. What I was getting at is completely different, holding a supended X session in a ram partition with different scaled down purpose oriented desktops. It would be great if you could config a java/html developement only desktop! This advancement would leave the MS desktop model in the dust. The ability to do things with lots of ram and a ram partition rather than hd swaps or drop out of X and then back in is something that could easily be in the future, ram is cheap harddrives are a pain in the ass. Running a ram partition for swap is silly but sometimes it helps. Why not make the idea work for a really usefull purpose.
This is a site which has an approach very similar to Microsofts attude to the educational system http://www.crossroad.to/charts/soviet-us-ed.htm I wander who it was that said (loose quote) "To rule the people one needs to first have the minds and hearts of the children" I think it might have been Lenin, I remember seeing the quote somewhere. Alowing our educational system to be bought by the highest bidder will kill innovation and real science. We will spawn a generation of gui dependant Inet and game coding morons. Scientific computing will suffer big time. The fact that MS already controls all the private 'business tech schools' and that if need to be certification at one of these so called business colleges to get work is scarry. No the Microsoft monopoly has become unbreakable, soon we will all have to pay tribute to Redmond, or face censure!
"Other than that, Qt is indeed the finest toolkit out there. It simplifies development a lot, and it fills the great void that exists in C++ libraries. It's really like the Java libraries or the.NET libraries, providing almost everything needed under the sun."
Very interesting it does not include everything according to Sun. What Sun needs to do with the MADHATTER is create a Java dev desktop. That would be interesting. KDE is great and yes you can is the Dev attitude. Why not have more than one desktop available under X for different purposes, a better desktop switch with a simple macro combo and holding multiple X sessions for a single user might become very usefull. For examble if the ram footprint of KDE was small enough you could keep a session suspended, and then switch into another desktop which is already up in ram. If the ram level swap out was say around 80 meg then having a ram partition for swapping desktops would be fantastic! Imagine 512 to one gig of ram and you could really smoke when building big java based web apps. Instead of having to switch out X sessions you could have more than one up at all times.

There is a cheapskate Linux user, who just nukes the os and puts Debian on the $299 PC. Diamonds and the cartel will be broken by this tech. There is going to be one heck of a demand for synthetics, don't forget the diamond can deliberately contain impurities for the purpose of changing out put characteristics. It would be interesting to use slightly radioactive metals in the diamond formation or enery path to create secondary field effects, as well. We are on the verge of a breakthrough in wave signal technology at the atomic level. Just imagine a miniature electron microscope for 500 bucks! That is how important this tech is. Medical imaging tech from selected energy wave lengths could become cheaper. The down side is of course the scarry military applications, on the high output side of this tech. Buck Rogers shoot um up space weapons and Star Wars defence are not that far off. The computer applications are secondary. The international military establishments will not be able to resist the possibilities. The same way Hussein could not resist the crazed ex patriot American and Canuck Gerald Bull and his mega gun technology.

AOL is just having its lunch eaten by Microshaft, the natural course of things. They would have been better off to pay the Microsoft ransom and get on the XP install desktop. Would have saved them one hell of alot of money not having to mail out cds to every new computer buyer they can track. Even the average Windows user knows that as soon as you buy a computer you will get a flood of junk snail mail. MSN and MSNBC is a given choice, they get desktop defaults, software and ease of use for free. AOL was just too cheap to pay for better access to the field of sheep. Too baaahd.

"Of course, Microsoft Windows could have been made similarily secure if Microsoft (and others) had taken these simple measures. Well, at least not allowing executable code to be executed with a single click of the attachment. It's been many years since the first MS executable virus code and it's a continuing problem. When with email client software on the Windows platform finally reform to disallow easily executing attachments ??"
Simple when they finish the pay off to Symantec for the patented disk and system tools that they stole.
Longhorn will fix this problem because the user will only be able to run certified Inet code in user mode. So the virus will need to have a valid certificate to get past the security. No more security head aches just easy provider control of content use! Right..and the Pope smokes crack!
Are only symptoms of consumerism gone mad. We start businesses on the basis of demand not stability. Software has become another example, obsolete within the time it takes to perfect it. Our economy is a false dream and will eventually need to be changed from this model. Services have become more expensive for this reason and disposable goods cheap. That is why off sourcing high tech services is happening. The goods sold cannot pay for the software services needed. The same thing will happen with all goods because of consumerism. The Menonites are right, consumerism will ruin us socially. Smart old farts! They have known this for over 150 years.

CBC Canada is releasing content on WMFormat for WMP 7 and up only. The reason why is obvious. The Microsoft security focus is exactly as I have stated. They could not give a shit about securing their old releases, Longhorn is designed to cure everyones security problems! With the blessing of Government bureaucrats, and the entertainment industry in North America. So they could care less about security for the old stuff it would hurt sales of Longhorn and cut into revenues too much to really work for them. To do the honorable thing is not a good financial decision for Microsoft! It would also hurt sales of new computers next year. This year was a write off for the big chains. Bastards. Software updates are a joke.
Believe it or not I did not use a spell check I just typed it in. A grave situation indeed I must have been going/. gaga. The concept of an (excelleration) mag-lev ramp is not new. I just hope they do not use EXCEL to do the math work. Auto- correct formulas would be damn dangerous.
Anti grave is not the answer either. The applied use of directed magnetic fields is interesting again though. The research into this stopped in the 1960s when the distance calculations to reach escape velocity on a field launch ramp was calculated at roughly 30 miles of ramp. The problem was that air density at the ramp hight of 13,000 feet was still too dense to take the velocity achieved without supper heating the payload! Seems to me in the Andes there are places the ramp hieghts could reach 20,000+ feet adjacent to the Altiplano but the ramp construction contraints were considered too great. Well we have much better mag lev and supperconductor tech now and we also have much better high altitude construction techniques. The only reason this tech is not been brought forward is the tech would need to be applied somewhere other than in the US! It would require real international co-operation and would in the long run be so much cheaper than rockets. Houston and the Johnson would go out of business. Fuel payloads could be launched also and staged late burning correcting vessels could also be devised. Get your mind away from rockets for just one second. Yes they are important for getting around once you gain escape velocity but they are a stupid and dangerous way to achieve it!
