Major Nitpick

OSI vs SCO

VERITAS File System (VxFS) and VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) are owned by VERITAS Software Corporation. They are not part of the Bell Labs code. By reading Eric's article one could infer (I did) that he was implying this code is part of the Bell Labs code.

Does this mean I can use this research to get one of those beautiful 1600x1200 20" flat screens? I mean, if it's good for her, it should be good enough for me.:-)
And now SCO is releasing their own Linux (based on UnitedLinux). Too bad the judge doesn't sanction them for a frivolous lawsuit and kick them out of his/her courtroom.
It would seem to me that RedHat didn't fully think out the bandwidth hit they would take. I've got a colleague (who is an RHN subscriber too) that just had all his downloads (discs 1-3) timeout.
I gave up trying to start downloads this morning.
I personally think, Akamai would have been a better solution.
I see no reason why you couldn't just get this and blow Lindows away and replace with your favorite distro. That said, I agree with preferring my Latitude/RedHat8 combo too.
My experience with Cygwin is that performance takes a hit. I'm running RedHat 8 and using Crossover Office and getting the best of both worlds. Since I tend to do a lot of Unix development work, I find it easier to have RedHat as my primary OS rather than XP. YMMV.
The judge then notified Microsoft and Sun he would stay his ruling for two weeks as a courtesy to the appeals court that will hear Microsoft's request for a review of the Java ruling.
My speculation on the pricing is that the authors view this series as a ministry (as well as making a living) and thus want to reach a greater audience. This is in keeping with Jesus' Commission to believers. Paraphrased... go out and make disciples.
You are not the target audience of this product. My mother is. She wants a device that will record her shows. She has no desire to hack. Think of this as the replacement for the VCR (and hopefully it will be easier to operate for non-technical users).
The vast majority of consumers don't want to own or hack this box. They just want it to work. They will lease it so they don't have to deal with maintenance.
I lease my cable modem for this exact reason (plus the fact I get to expense my service for my home office).
A constitutional republic is about the voters voting for their representation in the form of Representatives and Senators (in the United States), hereafter called representatives.
These representatives determine what is right or not right. We (the voters) in essence have given our proxy vote to them. So, the General is quite correct in asking them to go back to their constituencies and asking where the line should be drawn.
If you don't vote, tough! If you have the right to vote, but don't use it YOU are part of the problem. If you don't have the right to vote, tough. You'll have to trust in those that do.
We do NOT live in a democracy, but as the poster pointed out a Constitutional Republic.
Not necessarily. If they throw another NIC in the one PC, the VMware instance(s) can use 1 of the NIC's, while Win2K uses the other. This will allow the physical separation.
The author of this article and some of the "scientific community" were on Diane Rehm today (NPR).
I haven't read the article, but I took away from this discussion that the "scientific community" leaves a lot to be desired.
The author was attacked personally numerous times. He was always calm and collected in his responses. The "scientific community" sounded like a bunch of 2 year olds not getting their way. This debate is very vitriolic and highly personal. I came away (mind you not having read the article) that the author raised some valid questions (that the "scientific community" doesn't seem to want to answer).
I quote "scientific community," because these folks didn't act very scientific. This is as bad as pediatricians not wanting to buck the American Academy of Pediatrics on whether to vaccinate or not vaccinate, when there are valid questions of when it is and is not appropriate.
I'm frankly tired of "scientists" trying to cram their pet pseudoscience down my throat as fact.
I don't have a license, but a good friend of mine does. I remember 20 years ago when he would talk, how arrogant and cliquish some of the repeaters were. They permanently turned me off of getting a license.
What ever happened to the plan for only bug fixes in SP's?:-)
How many new new bugs will be introduced with this SP? I'm thinking it might be wise to wait until SP1 has been released for a period of time (weeks at least, if not a month or so) to see if there are any major problems.

RPMs for RedHat 8 are starting to show up now. gtk2 is available now. xft isn't available yet.
Check out VERITAS Foundation Suite HA. It includes VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM), VERITAS File System (VxFS), and VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS).
I agree with everything but the games comment. Games aren't important for enterprise applications.
Visual basic doesn't exist in the Unix world, and I hope it never does. Perl is good enough. You want a GUI? Learn Tk/Tcl.
An interesting item from the Enron fiasco. Their Tax Departpment was considered a business unit (and a profit center also).

I wonder if anyone thought about using VMware to replace that second system... Nah, that makes too much sense.
Let's not forget "Homeland Security." Get a few "terrorists" in the fray. Herr Ashcroft will have a field day.

IIRC the Gentoo website points out that this is a species of penguin.

You can do this in Quicken. I do. Without it, I don't know how we'd operate. I believe they are called savings goals.
Actually, you can only have 2 CPU's on a 280R.
