Although it is hard for many Americans to understand, between Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, many people in this world are more afraid of the U.S. than they are of terrorists
Ahh yes. Jeff Zeldman, the famous pollster..
No?
The famous journalist...
No?
The great UN ambassador...
No?
A web designer?
You want folks to realize some demographic facts from a self important web designer?
I give the guy some credit. At least he used an adjective before the word people, but he couldn't have been any more deceptive if he has used the adjective 'all'.
pgaccess is one fine tool IMO for managing PostgreSQL, but nothing beats nice scripts for creating tables and such, managing PostgreSQL tables and other elements. Much faster than a silly gui.
I don't know from standards. But you aren't gonna believe this: I had a really hard time installing MySQL, so much so, I decided it wasn't for me, personally.
I know, I know, MySQL is s'psoed to be a better solution , easy to install, etc. but I had one hell of a time installing MySQL.
Maybe I'm an idiot. Dunno. I kept using PostgreSQL and never stopped from that point.
The shop I use is a hardcore Windows shop, yet they are very happy to sell me my naked PCs, though they know I normally use them for Linux servers and such.
They don't push the Windnows stuff, but they don't ofer to install Linux/BSD either. They seem to be content to just moving hardware.
Use Your Forgotten Brain. Just because it's not in the US, doesn't mean it can't smell like the stench surrounding the abuses of liberty that the US Patriot Act articulates. Abuse of law enforcement for private gain is not limited to President VP Cheney and his "Justice" department henchmen. I bet your "conservative" values think that librarians are commies, because they encourage sharing.
Lord, have mercy! And liberals think the Bush administration is paranoid!
I'll bet somewhere in that tiny little piece of [explative] brain of Darl McBride -- he still thinks someone is going to buy up his pathetic little company.
I'll buy up his company, but can they wait 'til I get paid next friday?
The article quotes one security expert who says, paraphrasing, With regulations come standards.
Silly twit.
The US aviaion industry became so strong precisely because the government stayed the hell away from regulating until industry had established their own standards. You don't weigh into a market like IT with rules and regulations and standards, or you will wind up far less security as politics define what security is.
IT is still very much a new industry, and no one agrees on standards yet. Stanards were established in the aviation industry when the government told folks like Boeing we need the engineering documents for things like fasteners; i.e. you need to open your standards up so everyone can use them so we can all be safe.
Let the 8000 pound gorilla set up rules and regs only after the industry has done so. Prod them along, persuade, threaten, but let standards set by IT itself, be the standards the government uses.

That's why bash, gcc, and other utilities traditionally associated with Linux systems seem to be installed even on "real" UNIX systems nowadays.
First off, the SC doesn't protect actions as much as it does pure speech and secondly, commercial speech (they are selling a video game) can be highly regulated. It's not as much as a slam dunk as you think. I'm with you though, just leave them alone and let the market decide!
Commercial speech is what the company does to sell the video game: advertising.
Content, on the other hand is a completely different thing. Now, legislatures in the USA have sought to regulate comercial speech and have had some success, what the antigame folks are doing is asking the court to ban something based on content, not on how it is sold. They may attempt to link the two by saying that it is the violence against Haitians that sells this game. but we are sill left with trying to get a court to ban something based solely on its contents.
You'd have a better chance betting the editors of slashdot endorse Dubya for 2004. It just ain't gonna happen.
In a country ruled "by the people, for the people" all laws should theoretically be to benefit the community (ie, the people). If a law only aids a small number of people while disadvantaging most then it is exactly the sort of tyranny the founders of America said they were trying to escape.
As a leftist you should know this, but I will respond anyway: Corporations and small businesses are entitled to the same legal protection as any individual. When you talk about law protecting 'the people' you should also know they protect everyone, not just smarmy leftists such as yourself.
seeing the electronic warfare/electronic intel platform riding along with a group of strike fighters. Every navy in the world with an aircraft carrier has some sort of ew/elint platform. Every sci film until this new BG I have seen leaves the viewer with the impression that alls you gots to do is jump in your spacecraft and start shooting at them damn aliens. This time, I saw a smart rendition of space tactical combat.
I knew for a fact I would HATE Starbuck, but this character is a tough and smart warrior, gender notwithstanding.
And I agree with an earlier remark that the way the repeated nuclear strikes were depicted in the backgroun was chilling and very effective.
Count me in as a customer for the new Battlestar Galatica.
Suggestion for parent: Go to your slashdot preferences and filter out caldera stories. You will never have to see mouse-ears-on-a-globe again. As for me, bring 'em on!
Amen to that, baby! AS for me, all these absurb remarks by McBride are better than the crack SCO & Co. are on.

SCO's team, on the other hand, probably starts chewing the rug everytime there's an update...
When IBM gets done with them, they'll also have carpet burns on their foreheads as well.
They do this by capitalizing on the fact that FOSS is often distributed free of charge (these people don't want to pay for things!), the fact that FOSS is in some ways a threat on the usual, exploitative way of doing business (they care about other things than profit => they are dangerous / dirty communists / hoping to undermine Capitalism|America|Freedom to squeeze megabucks out of credulous customers), the negative mass-culture image of the word "Hacker", and other things yet... but most of all, ignorance.
I have read and read and read everything SCO says and I have not seen the term communist used by SCO.
Sounds like you are a communist given the way you describe business/economics.
Business is about nothing if not profit, and as far as I am aware, no one is forced to buy anything. There is no exploitation, nor extortion (another popular term used by the leftwing element of slashdot) in business in any negative sense, unless you want to use the lexicon of communism.
The post this responds to shows in utter clarity how eaten up with socialist thought slashdot and its moderators are.

It says nothing about getting customers to actually come to that conclusion.
Not an easy thing to do, and I want to sell Linux solutions to small business.

Lightweight? I would call PostgreSQL many things, but lightweight isn't one of them.
Not trying to get into any competition, but my own tastes run to PostgreSQL for the sheer magnitude of programming and installation options available.
PostgreSQL is a fantastic database package, but even so, I just could not bring myself to use the word lightweight with regard to it.
They don't push the Windnows stuff, but they don't ofer to install Linux/BSD either. They seem to be content to just moving hardware.
Why in the world would IBM even want to throw money at a competing database? They want to sell DB2, not a GUI for PostgreSQL
All you have to do is to type bash byscript.txt and you are off to the races. No shebang, no nothing. The same with perl.

When slashdot leftists apologizes, then I will believe SCO will apologize.
'Victim' will be the kindest thing you will say about SCO when IBM gets done with them.

Congress will never pass a law that censors computer code. It is a classic case of prior restraint if ever there was one.
