    or better yet, as an admin.. disable the ability to screw with settings like that.. they dont NEED a picture of their dog on the company's computer. You know, this is kind of funny, because a lot of the guys using the K12LTSP project to move schools over will produce memos on how to change the new desktop so that it is just like the user wants it. Obviously they are given a choice of approved wallpapers and screensavers, but they can make it theirs and not screw anyone else, making them happier and more efficient. The folks at Largo also did this.

    My stupid question is this: Is Access so complicated that no one has scripted an automated Access > Postgres/PhP process? Does everything not have an equivalent? What's the problem? I think this and the Macro problem (but probably more Access) ties an enormous number of SOHOs into a Win/Office solution.

    If fetuses are truly human beings, why don't we have funerals for miscarriages? Clearly society considers a fetus and a baby two very different things. Well I buried my dead daughter in the backyard, and was told by my pastor that we should have a proper ceremony. Should the woman be allowed to have an abortion to save her own life? Why? This is really virtually no situation in this day and age when that happens. It is used as a negotiation point, really is all.

    Sorry, but you're wrong. The second ammendment was created to protect the citizens from a possibly abusive goverment. They just revolted, remember? It was to give the citizens power to revolt again, should it be needed. When the only entity that has weapons is the governmnent, there is no recourse, except to die, should the govenment take away your right to live or live free. I'm a passifist, but even I realize this to be true.

    You know what humans are good at? Contextualization. I can recognize hundreds of my students (though not by name, necessarily) whe they are in class, and I know their strengths and weaknesses. Those who meet me outside of class, however, are recognized only if they stand out in the class (class leader, etc). You know the newspaper guy when he's at the stand, but, when he isn't, you squint your eyes and think, "do I know this guy?" Human face recognition isn't all that great.

    The problem with your argument is that people who's major job deals with war and killing don't agree with you or any of the glib responses below. Not biased people, either. The head Psych professor at Westpoint (that's the US Army officer college) wrote a book called "On Killing," which I would suggest you all read before you spew opinions again. The gist of book is that certain training methods are useful to lower the violence threshold for soldiers so that, for example, we could turn the 10% battle efficiency of troops in WWII to about 50% in Korea and about 90% in Vietnam. These methods are used by the US military, the FBI, and the CIA. By coincidence, they take an almost identical form to first-person shooters like Counter-strike. Take a look at the book before you rebut.

    Also leaked:
    An LKML email marked "Top Secret: For Eyes Only" was given to The Register by an anonymous source. The email showed the elite hacker group's intent to "give the kernel away as a loss leader" to take market share from both the Windows and Unix operating systems. The group, the email claims, then plans to break compatibility with these products in a strategy they are calling "gnembrace and gnextend." By breaking binary compatibility with Windows NT, it is hoped that Linux desktop users will find it inconvenient to communicate with the Windows NT servers forming the backbone of the internet. The email closed by saying, "And then we make money....somehow...we'll work on that one later."

    Before joining the K12LTSP mailing list, now K12OS hosted by RH, I was on the LTSP list on and off for about two years. Eric (with some help of others) has taken RH, grafted LTSP to run with it out of the box, included every educational app set up to run by default, and all the scripts anyone asks for.

    Being on the LTSP and K12OS mailing lists, I'm pretty sure that Eric (the author of the article) has already done that. Oh yeah, and it's now supported by RH, too. In fact, I use it at my school. But that's all there in the article, which Eric posted to the mailing list at least a week ago, if you're interested in reading it.

  17. Re:bochs vs plex86 on VMware vs Virtual PC vs Bochs · · Score: 2, Informative

    To clarify the plex vs. bochs posts: about two weeks ago I tried for a whole night to find ANYTHING about plex newer than November, and couldn't. It appears that Mandrake bought up Bochs, turned it into Plex using the original developer, Kevin Lawton, and then fired him. It looks like he has since returned to Bochs and they have released 1.3 and 1.4 since then, while plex is still looking for someone to lead the project. In the words of one reviewer of Bochs and Plex, this kind of programming is so difficult it makes kernel hacking look like high level code and there are very few people out there that can do it.

    Kudos to Kevin for all his great work, and I'm sorry that Plex86 is dead in the water, 'cause that's probably what I would have used.
