I don't claim to know more about your situation than you do, but several distros, including k12ltsp.org , support Open Mosix straight from the install, and work with either PXE (which you couldn't have used) or Etherboot. I'm not trying to change your mind. I'm just pointing out that there are a lot of folks who prefer and even swear by diskless clusters.
Hey -- smart retort. I just wish that Antiword was "MS's free.DOC reader" that you asked me to download. I have Antiword, and Abiword, and OfficeTLE, and Pladao, all of which are able to read it to some degree, but I am unable to fill out forms the government offers in.doc format using most of these. Learn to stay on topic before you give dumb answers.
I think that the argument for open data formats is the unassailable bastion of open source bills. It doesn't much matter for us in Thailand: we're a step away from getting a national Free Software OS and Office combo.
You are making brash assumptions. I am saying that local command (read "uneducated") thought they knew better than SOCOM (read "educated and experienced"). I'm done with this something-like-a-discussion we're having. Thanks for calling me uneducated.
I am not talking about battle readiness. The official policy was to go paperless for various operations, but the local command didn't trust it, so we were required by ARMY policy to do a computer version and by LOCAL COMMAND policy to use the outdated forms. Essentially, the work was doubled. Get a brain: I was in SF. They are seriously worried about battle efficiency, what with twelve or fewer guys (four in my case) being stuck behind enemy lines. This is about doing double work for no benefit.
Yes, but, unfortunately my S3 Trio64V+ doesn't support either OpenGL or DirectX9, so I guess I won't be playing Doom3. Sigh. And I was so worked up over it!
Yeah, when I was with Special Forces a few years back, no one trusted the computers, so everything had to be done on both computer and paper. What a phenomenal waste of man power. I guess it's lucky that the army has so much man power, eh?
I am trying to finish a government program for thin clients in public schools. We are lucky that the whole internet / administrative backend has been handled by Linux for a while. The migration should be less painful that way.
Linux is ready for Thailand domination. The government here expects to take orders for 100,000 Linux computers before the 18th of the month, and will offer another million (yes, six 0s) by the end of the year.
I'm talking out of my ass here, but I believe that it has been decided that there were actually TWO subspecies of moth before the event occurred, and what was actually happening was varying numbers of the sub-species changing. IANAC, but there is a real difference between showing some genetic migration and maro evolution. Remeber the domain that you're working in!
The correct approach is to correctly identify that the (helmet wearing or not) motor cyclist is a contributing factor to the amount of damage that is incurred (to all the cyclists, this isn't a flame just a fact), that is, if you hit a cyclist you are likely to cause them more damage than if you hit a car driver, and then discount the amount of damages accordingly.
So if I just side-swipe them it's free? And I can get away with that? I'm going for a drive!
AMD's chip doesn't need any external chip for SMP. The home version can handle dual CPUs and the server version (Ibelieve) is limited to eight. That, again, is without any mainboard controller. The dual / quad CPU boards for this should come out very quickly.
When you say that the GPL can't be modified, are you talking about the license? What about a GPLed piece of software can't be forked, torn to a skeleton, and totally rewritten? The point is that I can't GPL only part of my program file, while six lines remain immutable. Stay on focus and don't take every opportunity to swing a cricket bat in a porcelain store.

One of the all-time great names for a story, as well. Short stories always had the best names. I used to have untold numbers of short story SF anthologies, and I think they and always make better movies than novels. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and (I think this is the name) "Blue Skies on Mars" are excellent examples. The level of detail and the question that the author is trying to present are perfect for an hour and a half movie.
I think that this is the first time that I've ever agreed with you on anything, NineNine. I literally left the room during Morpheus' soliloquy about reality. The jerky dialogue with random, callous stops to explain the world still leave me cold. It was, however, one of the first DVDs that I bought after I got my home theater, mostly for positional audio and special effects. I watch it for that reason, but find myself screaming at the screen in disbelief every time. I do admit that it holds a place in Hollywood by inspiring tens of lookalike movies and uncountable satires. Few movies are the first of a breed, and it certainly was that.

And, oh gret NineNine, where do I get the Linux version? My school is 100% linux.

We just sold 100,000 Linux machines in Thailand. Check my sig for the entire article. 1,000,000 by the end of the year!
Dood! Name the place! Your ass is mine! hehe

OK, I'll bite! My first PC was a Tandy Model I with 4kB of memory and a cassette player. Man that thing booted fast!

Some people may want to use a language that's not well supported under Knoppix, like Thai.
Or, if you're here in Thailand, you just buy a computer with it pre-installed from the goverment or any hypermarket.
So you are saying I should've overtly mentioned my sarcasm?

Girl, that was fucking funny. It could have been a Cathy strip.
This is why I stated that six lines in a file can't be set as an invariable section.

Who called his announcement impartial? Neither the article nor I.
