Hey man, can you tone it down a little bit. Messages like this are unhelpful and a tad rude. It just puts off the newbies from our Linux culture. Let's keep it clean and above the belt, thanks!
I thought you FreeBSD people liked to compile things. I always hear you whining about how great/usr/ports is compared to apt-get upgrade.
If BSD people aren't whining about how great ports is, they are whining about how FreeBSD runs Linux binaries better than Linux. How about you either do it yourself, or shut the hell up cakeboy?
My response to this is, that our society would be a lot better off without you lawyer scum always poo poo'ing everything. Maybe if you got out of your ambulance chaser and started coding, you'd have something to complain about. Until then, keep it to yourself buddy!
Looks like the new kernel maintainer is really working out. I enjoy seeing these kind of detailed changelogs, to determine whether there is anything critical enough to upgrade my system.
Seems like Alan and Linux lately haven't been all that hot about doing the drudge detail work. This arrangement seems to be the best solution for everyone.
This is a great monument to geek inginuity! However, it would be even better if it could be controlled through Linux! Anyone got a patch or directions to switch over from windows winamp? Thanks!
Intellectual Property is being slowly strangled by overrestrective trademarks, copyrights, patents, corrupt companies, and bought politicians.
When are we going to wake up and realize that these artificial constructs originally created to help innovation is actually starting to stifle it? Perhaps people will start to wake up after the recession really starts to hurt. There is going to be a lot of pointing fingers soon.
This is the kind of thing that will push Linux more into the enterprise sector. Some of my clients need this type of 24/7 reliability. With hardware hot swapping a possibility under Linux, I'll be much more inclined to recommend Linux for this situation. In the past, the hardware was more important, you just used whatever the vendor gave you.
Do we really want to have these sequences freely available over the Internet to potential terrorists? Imagine a rogue state developing a virus which only attacks certain races (see F. Herbert book on this). Why should we give them a headstart? Disturbing.
Glad to see I'm not the only one able to step outside the box and question for one fleeting moment that Linux isn't the end all be all. Gotta say, I've been darn pleased with the direction Microsoft is going lately. Maybe if the govt finally lays off them, they can get back to helping our economy and innovating at their former pace.
If a private sector company has been able to climb the steep hill that is quantum computing, how far has the US govt been able to get with their nearly unlimited budget?
It has been widely acknowledged that such agencies as the NSA have been at least a decade or more ahead of the private sector. The first govt to get a working quantum computer not only has unbreakable encryption, they are able to read any code of foreign nations. The stakes are incredible!
Soon, they will be watching all of us. Better read 1984 quickly my fellow citizens!
I guess it is easy to paint a label on any individuals who disagree with the party line. Nice way of deflecting valid criticism. I guess anyone who uses Microsoft software is automatically a troll in your book. *shrug*
All of this changing of companies, without nary a profit in sight, is confusing to a layperson such as myself who is simply trying to create a roadmap for my IT department.
It's hard to recommend Linux when there is so much confusion in the sector. I think I'll be sticking to tried and true software, which I know I can depend to be there years into the future. Doesn't seem like Linux fits the bill at this point.
I can't understand why you'd ask for financial advice on this forum. Frankly, you'd be better advised to seek a professional consultant for matters of this nature. Ask yourself what the average income, knowledge, experience and professionalism of the average sloshdatter is, and then consider whether you really want them advising you on your finantial future.
This interview assures me that Microsoft is continuing down the road to success. Based on their past performance, and their constant vigilence on computer security issues (extremely minor incidents withstanding), I will be switching away from some of my Red Hat Linux servers.
Frankly, the ease of use and support I've seen with Windows XP, not to mention the stability and compatilibilty i've seen have finally swayed me back. Red Hat has a long way to go, and I'll be recommending to all my collegues not to try out this so called operating system. Even more so for the dying BSD lineage. Microsoft is going strong and will continue on into the forseeable future. I can't frankly say the same about other Operating Systems.

Okay bright boy, why don't you volunteer as a human piggy and see how good science can be on humans. my 2c
Emmett is that you?
Is that sort of language really necessary to propel your opinion forward? I think not, and I'd appreciate it if you laid off it. Thanks for your time.

Oddly, KDE's Konqueror makes heavy use of favicon.ico. *shrug*

Hopefully Comcast will bring the same high quality service it has been known for to this broadband sector.

Imagine having to install yet another kernel patch 3.4.2.48-pre71-ac to fix the latest VM problems with an NMR machine.
