    Caldera?

    Well, needless to say the Caldera distribution has never been anything more than a proprietary blackhole, but it doesn't have jack to do with Corel as far as I know.

    Perhaps you mean the distribution of Linux Corel came out with a few years ago that they dropped?

    If they drop their standard distribution, our company is going to have to switch to something else.. that's going to suck.
    I never thought about that...

    We occasionally use the Advanced Server edition for Oracle and whatnot, but not too often.

    Hmm.. I guess I need to start getting an ISO ready of Gentoo for use on our servers just in case :D

    I picked up a box with Debian and an O'Reilly book with it for I think around 30 bucks back in 2000. I used Debian almost exclusively back then, but I wanted to show my support so I purchased it. It was sponsored by VA Linux at that time. Come to think about it, I still have the O'Reilly book in the bathroom, I occasionally skim through it for light reading.

    The difference between audio and data CD-R is the labelling on the side. One says "Data", the other says "Audio". Oh yes, and the audio ones have better lines to write on, I'd imagine...

    But, all in all, they are the same.

    Why do you have such a deep hate towards Socialists? You use the word as if it's some sort of derogatory remark or something.

    It's equiv to saying "I think he'd get better accolades if he just fessed up to being a self-serving, bed-wetting, backboneless Capitalist".

    I feel like I'm back in McCarthyism.

    The government is acting under _their_ authority. And, notably, polls show most citizens support the actions of the government so far.

    I don't know about that, most of the actions of the government as of recently (the past 5-10 years) have been against the wishes of alot of citizens. Though, the actions are usually behind closed doors, and take years to reverse if ever.

    The polls of people supporting the "government" can easily be cooked. What are they supporting, the "No child left behind" initiative, welfare reform, cyber-policing? Which aspect of government? Or is it merely the usual patriotic facade, which clouds the hearts and minds of millions of americans.

    Yes, I am an American... proud of it, now if we could only tune out government back to where they are supposed to be.

    Netscape is dead, long live Netscape? :)

    If netscape is dead, I consider it the Phoenix effect... burnt itself down and was reborn as Mozilla. With the amount of work being put into Mozilla and it's derivatives (or even future incarnation), I wouldn't even think about that codebase dieing.

    All netscape really has been up until recently is a team working on Mozilla, then patching it into AOL... at least to my understanding.
