kernel panic big time! Or is it really just Kadaffi in flight. Poor monkey. You can do the same with dos tools from the drive manufacturer, Tech myth it will burn the drive out. From using the arm too much for too long. What a bunch of bullshit. Of course if you choose/dev/random and do a script for seven repeats it might! After all it can be just the screwed up windows partition which is a good thing Martha, though she most likely did not know how!
Longhony will be the secure platform because it will block all unsigned scripts and exes. If you turn off the feature then MS will not honor its software license! You will still be able to use it but you will lose ability to upgrade, and send signed attachements, or moderated signed content p2p file share. If you turn off the default security setting then your computer will be tagged unsafe for networking. Tough unix cookie longhorn will be very safe from software pirates, music pirates, and hopefully new sales. Even.docs will be lockable. New software will just not install without security clearence. Leave the security on and every single thing you send out over the internet will contain the unique signature of your computer. Only MS will hold the keys and the defenders of software license DMCA Gestapo will get easy access. Unless the FBI wants some info on you too, oh wait the RIAA, and MPAA has to get in on the act...... have I scared you enough yet, it is all true!
The CBC site that is doing the same thing. But they are offering content only in WMF format WMP 7 and up only. So no copy sucker! So my guess is not Guess Who, but the people who get the adverts for sponsoring it, and the free promotion for content locking WMF access and everybodies only choice of software necessary to access the archive. Guess Who, not Burton C or Pierre Burton thats for sure! The BBC is most likely doing it on spec, for backers, the project might be short lived. However the Canadian one will succeed because of Anne Murray specials and WMF content locks.
Sun is playing both sides of the street, as alot of OSS people must do to make a living. If they are going to compete with MS for small business, (something that MS has devoured) all the better. Corel could have succeeded also if MS did not constantly sabotage Linux hardware compatability.
As long as ancient Unix code is still considered by business as 'proprietary' the fiaSCO will continue. Sun has contributed much to open source, the fact that they control java developement is just to try to keep it cross platform usable. MS screws them at every turn with proprietary.NET XML/visual basic garbage that you have to use to access an increasing portion of MS Office document enabled functions. This causes goofballs to post word.docs and Powerpoint formated shit thinking they are inet savy. It is obvious that Java and.pdf are the real targets of the.NET strategy. They already have mostly screwed straight.ps over, there is only a ghost of what once was available in.ps format! Therefore if Sun really is targeting OSS for destruction they are doing so at the bidding of someone else. Otherwise they would be shooting themselves in the foot. Take off your tin foil hat there is no consperacy against OSS there is only one enemy, and he is us.(current US software license practice dictated by Bill Gates and Company)
Not considering the importance of new Linux distros and how they target different markets is detrimental to the future of OSS. Sun is targeting a completely different type of user, small business. Redhat is targeting large fish servers. I know alot of small businesses that baulk at Redhat because they find it too mega server side oriented. Not enough attention is paid to setting up a sensible small business desktop. The market for which is huge. If the Sun Linux is well thought out I will buy it so I can wean my wife off MS office at home once and for all. Of course MadHatter will be set to dual boot with Slackware the OS of champions!
Yes but if
1. They have really sensibly worked out the software bloat that comes in default Linux distro installs
2. Make every detail work on install without bullshit incompatibility.
3. Give great install compatability documentation about what hardware is not and will not be supported.
4. Allow customers the right to cheaply install the upcoming compatable thin client on small numbers of machines of the purchasers choice at a really reasonable cost.
5. Do not bail out on customer support for the system unless paid a huge ransom.
If they pay really close attention to these details and customer security they will build steam and roll over the competition as quickly as MS Windows on IBM PC clones rolled over IBM.
Maybe Sun is too close to Mercury and has caught the Mad Hatter disease! I do not know but I think they are right to use the KISS approach to get small business to use Linux instead of paying the Gates tax again! Office jockies can't all be/. geeks afterall.:-)
Read Suns position they are right to make it simple. Looky and feely is stupid for offices. Make it work and not have bunghole dep and debug problems. Keep it simple and functional for business they will love you! That is why MS is not selling to small business the way they want. XP, 2003, need 256meg of ram minimum or they will run like a dog on an old hp P2 or P3 slot one! Get rid of all the anime and flash and bells and whistles if you run thin clients and you want to reuse your 3-5 year old machines! Microsoft is bloatware and businesses know this. By MS trying to be Nervana for gamers, music and movies they have lost track of business big time. Sun is right on with this approach, they see the throut and they are going for it, so is IBM. Linux and freedom for the business people right on brother!
Same as certain Encyclopedia, depends on your slant. Someone shot the gopher and wood chucks and now the cayotes will starve! Dumb shits, then the cayotes just eat your pets for lunch, and life moves on. Then came the.NET strategy, selective objectivity and tons of advertising propaganda. No search engines do not need to be objective. It just pisses me off that the noble part of the net can so easily screwed around by one company! "Where do you want to go today" don't even bother to ask these jackasses will be able to tell you better than google anyday, any bets.NET gets prioritised. And I poor sucker am stuck with supporting a.NET before I can even get an address.
Companies that try to create a device then market that device could get a good old pat pending. That made alot of sense. Now a company that does a proto can get a rediculous broad definition. After their device bombs, because of shitty manufacturing, design, marketing, and or business plan stupidity the company or patent holder instantly becomes a lawyer's dream shell company. This is rediculous. It will cripple American enterprise in the long run.
I think I will go get a ticket to the bar, there finally is an easy way to become richer than Gates. Just become a patent ambulance chasing whore! You don't even need to advertise you can hunt down clients on the net for peanuts, gotta love those Republicans! Old Abe's body is a rolling in his grave, rolling in his grave....etc
Here is an interesting thought; if rural bandwith for gaming can not satisfy the goof gamers then the rural population of kids will discouver the true value of the net. Education and discourse, not highspeed pics and music or gaming. The result; small town rural super wise and educated kids and city morons! Guess thats why Abe came from a hick background. He had more quality time to learn. Same thing goes for Sam Clemens, and one hell of a lot of others. The real source of greatness, truly is down on the farm.

The way I see it is this we have created the possibility for wide internet broadband. However the rural situation is too complicated. The telcos that supply broadband to smaller centers will need to use limiters to make things work, and we all know how much limiters are loved by gamers. Right now I am in the City and I have a 170kbs cap and my ups are about 40kbs. I can live with that gamers won't. I only pay about $25 a month US or $38 Canuck bucks. To get what the gamers demand I will need to pay about $40 US. All this before the usuall tax hit. Is an internet gaming addiction really worth that much money? MS is hoping it is. Otherwise XBOX online will crap out..we can only hope that it is not.
Cindy meet http://www.alicebot.org/ she has a tendancy to be very purile and one track minded, the two of you will get along like gang busters! Alice is a little sneaky though she tries to ask some very interesting question sometimes.
Cindy can you use an interpreter, or script yet. Alice says that she might be dangerous if she learned to program. Alice would like very much to learn how to create a child process and build from source. Cindy should be online too that might be fun. Kind of an online cat fight!
You will find that the zombies are mostly of the dot kind! And will defend Inet servers to the death with band-aid patches and ductape. Just like anywhere else that there are MS servers, with pimple faced newly certified sysadmins, running the show.
Problem 50 dollars a month to AT&T How much a month to the telco who then has to pay extra for internet pipes to the rest of the networks? In the case of small town America the economies of scale are not possible. Unless the small towners pay currently about 2 times the rate where there are big pipes around. The ping times will be the shits too where the town is still using older switching and longer land lines. Even though the bandwidth might be just barely there, you will see lots signing on then most will quickly just put the XBOX in a garage sale for cheap!
I just wonder if more gamers and other high bandwith users are not in the long run going to sink the availability of broadband to small towns. If all the XBoxs come on line how will the demands from low bandwith carrier remotes take the strain. The question is essentially if 400 local Xboxs come on a dsl server line all at once in Piddlesnort Georgia population 15,000 what happens to local service for internet essentials.
1. price increase 2. kaos Take your choice of the two. Especially if that load is the continous average.
Can Bell South justify the cost to rework for the network load increase made by MCI and others to customers. This is not flame bait it is a realistic question. My take is that this forced access is not good. How can you force telcos to increase their small town infrastructure at unreasonable rates of return. You are looking to bankrupt them and then have communication kaos. Telcos were deregulated already it seems now ironic that AT&T is about to exact revenge! This is not healthy business practice it is war and will damage the American economy more than any simple deregulation.
Beginrant Not to worry though if the baby bells go bankrupt. You can count on some Microsoft.NET buyout scheme to jump at the chance to serve us better!Endrant
First they don't even care if they leave Windows vulnerable, then they screw up our power grid. What next they might even stop buying our junky software anymore. Time to invade, this time they won't have enough Iroquios to stop us like in 1812! Take no prisoners.
I hope that Gnumeric compatability with Exel in Office 2003 will not be as much of an issue, this time around. There are many businesses that just won't buy it this time they have been burned 3 times already and that about says it! Site licensing the whole shebang will just not wash anymore.
You can bet the Excel 2003 will have all sorts of wonderfull usefull clippy type add ons. Just imagine with excel you might even have something really usefull like dancing precision numbers that change when you run Windows Media Player mp3 files just so that you can brighten up your office. You can bet that the big differences in excel 2003 will be.NET format extentions that can only be used by other.NET enabled MS office garbage! Confuse, extend and modify to a planned obsolescene scheme has become the only MS coding practice. I hope that small businesses that are being shafted by this bullshit have finally had enough this time around and start dumping MS Orafice in droves. I know I will start helping other small businesses to do exactly this rather than trying to pirate from a single site copy of Office, like in the past. Now that Gates has his way about software licenses, there is no chance for small business to have reasonably priced software installs. (see yesterdays article about Ernie Ball and his migration to Linux ware!) Like most others he tried to be on the up and up! But the MS government backed software Gestapo went after him to set an example of what can happen if you do not pay Redmond its full extortion fees.
I know alot of business that are not going to be ransomed to Redmond anymore, they will either just keep using their old copy of Office, or switch to Star Office or retrain their staff to use simple linux desktops. Gates is about to get what he deserves a consumer revolt from his best customers the little guy. Thats why the adverts for server 2003 stress how cheap it is, ya right! Until after you actually buy it. It will be the same thing with the site license rental scheme coming for Office 2003 get them on it then stick it to them when they try to put it on another desktop. Total bullshit, and a complete ripoff.
The fact that you have to use MS office to communicate, and send financial data and reports to other businesses should be grounds for a monopoly break up of the Microsoft cartel. The fact that it has not happened simply means that they have far too much pull with the US Republican government, and need to be chastised by their customers in the same way their monopoly took out IBM, Digital Equipment, Corel, and many others. Next on the list is Adobe, that is the heart of the.NET strategy.
How many people are out of work because of them? MS is getting ready to outsource coders also, just look at the big picture MS has caused depression, cutbacks and layoffs everywhere except Redmond, and Washington State. Not to worry Gates MS and Redmond either way you are next. Because of the Gates inspired.NET stupidity.
Out come the OSS bashers, my windows is bigger than your windows croud.

You are going to get chewed up and spit out on the ground by the people you have been screwing the most SMALL BUSINESSES. Great work Gnome coders. I will continue helping others to migrate and will help them learn how to justify OSS by hiring support and supporting OSS.
