In other news, Pau Finashiwu was picked up by the local PD after an incident where he started a fight with top Sony CEO after learning he didn't get the part of wearing the new SONY QRIO body suit.
All those years of listening to Mr. Robato meant nothing now.
it's like the malloc (sp?) thing all over again. two airlines needing a piece of software to do the SAME THING. How many correct ways are there to do it?
From an outsider's point of view, a stranger to word processing, one would draw EXTREME similarities to MS Word vs. a Corel alternative.
Is it copyright infringement? They both allow you to do the same thing in almost exactly the same way. .
Aside from my day job as a sysadmin, I also do freelance admin for 5 small-businesses that are large enuf to have their own in-house email servers. Not that's it's impossible, but it makes it "harder" to automate it..especially when they're running different distros and configuration.

I do, see my own reply to my original msg. For the record, I've worked as a sysadmin of linux machines (three flavors) since 1994 for a fairly large web-hosting company I won't mention here. I think I know the difference as well.
I'm not looking for your respect..I'm looking for you to ask yourself if you knew what I "meant". . If yes, thank you and drive through.

I'm sorry..were you claiming you didn't know what I meant by demonstrating your inability to deduce the point I was attempting to make, or do you just like seeing your own posts?
Ever wonder if microsoft has teams of people getting paid that do nothing but search for and anonymously submit bugs and proof of exploits in competing OS's. I mean hey..in a way it's good this stuff gets discovered and patched..but it's still bad press for linux when there is a new bug out every day. .
Let's look at their code and start doing the same. . ohh wait. . we can't. . They don't let us see it..We're just supposed to trust them it's all good. .
Another thing to think about is this:
Notice MS hasn't been soo forthcoming lately about linux as a competitor. I think maybe their "near silence" means they are actually getting worried.
In adding this to office, they are really going to separate the market. I bet they figure, if they do this, whoever jumps on board will likely STAY on board due to the fact that switchig to open-source in the future after you've already got a bulk of documents done in this "new office" will be MUCH harder.
I think they just drew a line in the sand. . and they figure they are KEEPING whoever doesn't cross now
With this coming at the same time that linux seems to really be taking a foothold..at least in the corporate desktop I think people fed up with MS BS may finally start to do something about it.

While this is extremely cool, I still prefer to just wait till stuff comes out on DVD.
I'm an avid watcher of:
Stargate SG1
Alias
24
Sopranos
But I just wait for em on DVD. Plus, it's a lot tougher to swap shows with your buddies when they're on a non-removable device.
My bro-in-law and I are always loaning eachother the above shows back and forth. He buys some of em, I buy the others..

I can't help but think if we just cut them all that spam would decrease by 70%
PLEASE OHH PLEASE

No huge shocker. It'd be like someone saying hey wanna get paid to throw that ball around back in 1900.

I'm not looking for your respect.
ya know. .originally I authored the post with just the word "daemon" and I thought. .gee. . .the morons out there won't get it. .
.prove others wrong even when you know quite well what they mean?
.be sure to point them out to me
so I added "web". .
now, granted, a better choice would have been "internet". .
but, the IDIOTS out there were probably able to figure out the word "daemon" with "web" in front of it, and the "smart people" knew what I meant
but. . . instead of moving on, no less than 3 of em felt the need to "say I'm wrong"
Is this the most exciting thing to do on slashdot.
I guess it's better than "flaming newsgroups".

P.S.
please, for godssake, if I made any spelling errors.
I'm sorry. .were you claiming you didn't know what I meant by demonstrating your inability to deduce the point I was attempting to make, or do you just like seeing your own posts?
Thanks for whoring,

Is it just me, or does it seem like lately there have been A LOT of security issues found in web daemons?
Who has all the free time to find them?
mom, can I go back to school please. . c'mon I'm only 25
you took the words right outta my mouth. . .
I'm mocking the post that was basically reducing the value of like to a nickel and making it seems as though nobody is ever responsible. .
get back to work!. . if you don't finish bringing hitler back up from hell I sware to god I'm going to have your job!
and I was always jealous of everyone with an "IBM" job. .
at least working in the pr0n industry I'll only go blind. .
Gee and I thought they WERE fun. . I play 3 hours a night religiously. . .
now I feel like I should watch sucky tv because I'm not playing something "fun"
frag ya lata
I'm all for ANY distribution method where the artists actually get a sizaeble sum of the profits. .
