I've been running the Herd releases for Feisty. And I just can't say enough good things about it.
Wireless just works. Automatically. No dicking around with swapping config files if I switch between an open AP and a WEP/WPA-locked AP.
Beryl. With the underlying AIGLX support, Beryl installed and just worked right out of the box on my laptop. SWEET!
Ubuntu has drastically reduced the hassle of just getting a Linux system into a usable, functional configuration. If they keep going, they're going to be a credible replacement for Windows, even for mega-luddites.
He's going to be sued into oblivion the first time any company that has to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley gets something destroyed. They'll do it to recoup the fines they'll incur and the time and labor spent trying to recover the data and clean the PC of his malware.
Was an employee there pirating software?
"Yep! And we fired him as violating company policy as soon as we found out!"
However, that still doesn't give this jackass the legal right to go destroying data on a business' PC.
It's pretty clean-cut and not many judges I know of, nor juries, would spend much time before putting this dipshit in debt.
If it's no longer profitable or worthwhile to you to continue development STOP DEVELOPMENT! Dropping bombs into your app is dirty fucking pool.
Socialism refers to a broad array of doctrines or political movements that envisage a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to social control.
** Thanks Wikipedia. Saved me from typing that.
Now, if the government, in the guise of socialism is doing "all this stuff FOR YOU", then to a certain degree, they are free to monitor you as well. You don't want to participate in "the system"? Fine, that means NO participation (meaning you don't see any of the "benefits" you previously saw and they still take your money.)
Any sort of Socialist government is eventully going to degerate into a Nanny State like this. "Because they're doing it for your own good! And FOR THE CHILDREN!"
Now you'll have to excuse me. The whole "for the children" thing has left me violently nauseous, and I need to puke.
Again: If you're in an organization that small, it's usually understood that you're on call 24/7 for massive emergencies. Therefore, it in no way violates my notion of "If you're off work, and not supposed to be working".
[Dr. Evil] No. Not really. The use of Telnet has been deprecated for the better part of a decade now. Telnet was never really designed with end-to-end security in mind. It's just an easy way to gain shell access with a token login.
Basically if you say anything in any way that could, through use of drugs, idiocy, or sheer desire just to feel put upon, be construed (or misconstrued) as a critical you're using "hate speech".
At that point, if the "offended" party has enough money, they get you hunted down by law enforcement and sue your family into debt-slavery for the next trillion generations.
Stupid shit like this gets me so angry I want to start killing people...
There have been times in the past two decades when it was extremely easy for people with little or no schooling to get their feet in the door. That time has passed. Now, while there are always a few who still manage this, it's MUCH harder to get into the industry without SOME sort of qualifications.
These are the same clue-free individuals who screwed up their power infrastructure by deregulating AND price-fixing simultaneously.
Is it really that hard to think that intellectual diarrhea like this emerges from Cali legislature?
This is the sort of idiocy you should expect from people who don't even nod acquaintances with reality when it comes to power infrastructure?
Give incentives? NO! That'd mean less revenues for pork projects! Just a blanket ban! THAT'LL WORK!
Regardless of the fact that CF does NOT cover the full gamut of lighting applications out there, is not recommended in some applications, and is completely inappropriate for others.
If I were a resident of California, I'd be pissed to the point of hunting these imbeciles down and staking them out for the vultures (the birds, not the politicians).
"Anyone care to guess when this will FINALLY be over?"
Shortly after SCO exhausts all it's capital.
"Where will the party be held?"
At SCO HQ as the movers come in and repo everything. It'll be a "Ha! We fucked with EVERYONE and sucked up shitloads of money that didn't belong to us!" party.
You've already lost a major lawsuit over a competing product imitating "look and feel". Simply because you've decided to go after those with more shallow pockets this time doesn't mean you're any less wrong this time.
"We actually hated heat, with a fair amount of passion. I don't know that the program was the issue, but the people who were trained to administer it did a horrible job. It looked like crap, and continued complaints from users were ignored."
"I was told that the database behind heat was very poorly designed. Whether that was the fault of someone here or the actual Heat system I can't say. But, since we were getting this new fancy-pants CRM program for MS, and Heat is so poorly thought of, we migrated away from Heat. Now the entire company uses MS's CRM for everything. And honestly, it does a better job of call ticket management than the backasswards way our Heat system worked."
Ow! Sounds like whoever was doing your Heat partnership was asleep at the wheel. Wait. Lemme rephrase that. Passed out drunk at the wheel.

It's a youtube capture of a BBC program.
It's not a "Mentos and diet coke" video.

Come on.

It's roughly the speed of Vista on a Quad-Core C2 with 4GB of RAM and a 15K rpm RAID-0 array then?

Yep. It's socialism at it's "finest".
Note where I said "If you're off work, and not supposed to be working".
If you're SUPPOSED to be on-call, or available 24/7, yeah, leave the damn thing on.
When you're off work, and not supposed to be working:
In Soviet Belgiumistan, the engine search YOU!
[Dr. Evil] No. Not really. The use of Telnet has been deprecated for the better part of a decade now. Telnet was never really designed with end-to-end security in mind. It's just an easy way to gain shell access with a token login.
Not really sure if I'm all that thrilled about getting access to a bunch of proprietary software that I have to buy through somebody's portal.
Yeah, I guess the automated installation is nice for those living in the Land of Ludd. But I have little use for it.
That could just be me though.
That I'm glad I don't live in Soviet Canuckistan...

Seriously, with the bank Scamantology pulls in, they can afford to push to have stupid crap like this enforced.

Excuse me, gotta go wash this burnt-dog-smell off me now.
Oh wait. I'm a Win/Lin guy who avoids Macs like the plague.
Bah. BFD.
