The Nautilus install is similar to the Helix install and runns relatively smoothly (RH6.2)
RH7 is not yet supported. Total install is about 80Mb. It has support for online file space similar to WebDAV. Upload is earlier this evening was approx 128kb and integrates seemlessly into the file manager.
Overall interaction is not exactly zippy, however it does seem much more stable than the last incarnation.
The guy was suspended for 'disrupting school activities'.
He did not do anything violent, nor drugs and was not in possession of a weapon. The document states that for placing the crown on the ground and walking away, he received a punishment that would be given for offences such as possession of drugs or a weapon, damage to school property or physical violence.
This guy did none of this just damaged a couple of egos. It was a peaceful demonstration.
Funny, that is the thing that I miss about KDE is the integration of the palm dates into the calender and have it run in the taskbar. I have not found anything similar in Gnome.
I also cannot find good integration into an email app either; just waiting for a stable version of Evolution.

"it would be a cinch for an enterprising coder to turn one or
more of its watermark-removal techniques into a downloadable
program that would let any MP3 pirate "press a button to commit
piracy." - This is taken directly from the article.
I disagree totally. Removing the watermark from music that you have purchased is not piracy. Unauthorised distribution of copyright music with or without the watermark is piracy; eating it, singing over it,,corrupting it, destroying it is not piracy.
If the RIAA have their way then removing the watermark will soon be illegal.
I would like to point out that everyone needs to be a little more cynical. (Yes even here at/.:-) )
If I were producing SDMI, I would put in an easy and obvious copy-protection and a much better hidden one just to say 'yes' somewhere is the three minute song. The 'yes' would state that there was once encryption and if it ain't here now stop playing.
This system is designed to be used on propriatory hardware just like DVDs, with region encoding and other bells and whistles. The public accepted DVD players, why would they not accept similar restrictions in a music player if it does not hurt them too much?
The short affirmative would be much harder to find and it can be very small.
We started out by saying that $10,000 was not very much, exactly but enough to dupe everyone into looking for the wrong thing.
As it stands in the UK, one of the leading Internet providers for OS independant banking is a building society; Nationwide. The sign-up is not always 100% clear but they do have a good demo on their site.
By contrast we have solutions (Or more like problems) such as The Royal Bank of Scotlandwhich have their bank tied to M$Money and a win32 app. I believe that Lloyds is the same, however their site looks just like slashcode! Lloyds have a demo site here
When they call, say that you are too busy at present and can you have the telemarketer's home number and you will call them back when you are free.
They generally respond that they cannot take calls at home.
Tell them that you fully understand how they feel so stop calling me at home.
Either that or invoice them for time spent talking to them. I would suggest starting at about $600 per hour.
Once you have invoiced by registered post them once with terms and conditions that stipulate that the company agrees to pay at your rate; should they call again you call legally enforce payment as by calling you again they imply acceptance of your terms.
That you have to pay more for privacy is certainly the case in the UK.
If you purchase Digital TV in the UK your usage is monitored via telephone (satellite TV).
The Installation fee is £100 if you allow monitoring via telephone, £400 if you refuse to be monitored. I was the first person who had asked them on this!
If you read the EULA for Office it provides the user at work a free licence to install on their computer at home. Hence most users do not need a personal purchase after a corporate purchase. This also encourages users to stick with M$ products.
It was written by an ill-educated person with an absence of humour, desperately trying to appear PC. FYI I spent the last ten years working in the Far East and Sub Continent so have a fair experience of different cultures and what is racist - you Kwai Loi.
Most jokes rely upon differences between culture, such as the Scottish being renown for being mean with money. I am Scottish and I find those jokes funny - It does not mean that you do not like the person or culture, you are merely enjoying the difference between them.
That the Chinese have 5,000 years of history (only 4,600 more than the Americans {bless'em !}) provides a better background for the joke and acknowledges that the author cannot really be serious.
Sure I got some beefs, but I expect win2k to be unreliable and to have to reboot every few days, so do many other people. This stuff stops being news.
I have a freshly installed win2k box on standard hardware that dies every time I use the floppy drive - yes that's right the whole server falls over for the use of one of the most basic attachments to a computer.
All those super bug fixes that I am notified of regularly - well each one requires that the server reboot.
Did they finally get it right with win2k.......I don't think so.
I notice that the distributions that are growing the fastest are those that tend to be distributed on magazines.
We downloaded one copy of RH6.2 and have it on numerous servers. I would assume those obtaining it via magazine are more likely to have it one only one or two machines.
Sorry cannot say more as I believe the link to have been/.. already!
I believe we would not see any more 'fair' justice. I do not believe that judge Kaplan would have had a different verdict had he been better informed regarding the relevant technologies.
OJ proved (the following civil case against him vindicated this view point) the the outcome of a trial in the US can be bought.
Having technology courts in the US may help, but does not tackle the cause of the problem.
Have a look at the stand this is a uk site where you can legitimately fax your MP via the internet. It works very well and I have had a number of in depth responses from my MP. (Member of Parliament - for non UK people).
I am sure that a US version if it does not exist would be very popular and should have direct links from/.
I agree to a limited degree I think both are at fault.
A parallel may drawn between this and the army. If you leave your locker open and have your kit stolen you will be punished for providing a temptation to others.
You have to be responsible for your kit and the army's kit (or credit card numbers entrusted to you).
I cannot even order pizza now on debit card in London due to the high level of fraud.
There is an huge difference between sharing software and downloading copies of music that you have already paid for.
A good example of this is when CDs first came out many of the Dire Straits albums went back into the top 40 album chart as many people bought another copy on a different medium.
I do not agree with the Microsoft business model but at least they give you a 50% discount if you have already bought their software and want to upgrade.
If the music industry want to be honest about it why don't they just give you a licence for a year; after all that is how long music cassettes last before drop-out becomes intolerable.
I have used Napster to obtain copies of albums that I have purchased time and again. The law allows fair use in copying. I am allowed to copy my CDs to tape for my personal use etc. etc. I see no difference in obtaining that copy from a third party when the cassette or CD put out is of inferior quality.
Yes I do see the CD and DVD as an inferior product they are overly fragile and having been around for in excess of fifteen years I would expect these issues to have been addressed already.
Long before Napster was available I had all my music stored to hard drive to try to preserve it for the future. Hard drive space is now included when I budget for CD purchases. Napster is addressing problems with the digital medium's transience that the media companies did not deal with as it would reduce the profits from repeated purchases.
There are some very good minds in the subcontinent.
I would like to point out that when last working there I visited a clothing manufacturer. They had two lines of machines in a big warehouse. One one side there was a huge bank of electric sewing machines; on the other was a huge bank of pedal-powered sewing machines.
When (not if) the power, went down all the employees stood up and walked across to the machines on the other side of the room, sat down and carried on working.
This is not possible to do with computers, unless you have some very enthusiastic donkeys tied to a generator.
On a more serious note I have worked on a number of projects where we have outsourced and it has helped enormously where we seconded one of our engineers to the third party to join the coding team. This ensures that nothing is swept under the carpet and that documentation is done correctly.
We use Webtrends log analyser for Linux. It costs a mint but is fantastic in the quality of reports it generates.
There is a 30 day trial you might like to try.
While I am extremely happy at the release of a Notes client for Linux, and one that may evidently be customised and adapted I see IBM front-loading their efforts.
I would like to see more thought put into the work during and after the release.
For Example:- The downloadable Linux Domino Server does not provide instructions as to what commands to run to execute the server setup in the readme.
I have no problem reading and following documentation and I do not think that anyone would complain of bloating if they put the relevant text files with the download.
My point in short is that they would get much better market penetration if they set their documentation sites at the competant rather than expert.

The bookmarks they are reading are those from the websites where you can save your bookmarks online - they are already public property.
A good thing I think, when your M$ OS blows its top it is the one thing that people forget to backup.

The update process itself needs some work as it stands.
I have just run the update agent and the updates it wishes to install run to 98Mb. Quite impressive so soon.
The interesting thing is that the update process crashes out due to conflicts with realplayer and kcmclock.
When they call, say that you are too busy at present and can you have the telemarketer's home number and you will call them back when you are free.
They generally respond that they cannot take calls at home.

Telewest are installing their own equipment at the local loop and will have their service running in London / Croydon in November 2000.
I have no problem with a company being dominant; what I do find objectionable is companies who become dominant by locking you into a solution.
That is when you lose the fairness in competition.
There is a great difference in being dominant through being the best than being dominant through being the most crooked.
