Completely agree. The alternatives of paying for support are: 1) To sell proprietary product, which is worse. 2) To go out of business (essentially to have no product at all).
I completely agree with that. BTW, why all OSes use "FILES" concept? Files are a crap! It's a obsolete thing from the times when 20 MB hard drive cost $800. Why not to have an "object" as a main data holding unit on disk? Why not have good search capabilities a la database? Why not have fine-grained security control with (finally) least needed visibility principle implemented?! People should think about creating object-oriented layer disk system as a base of a modern OS.
No... if you want to, you can have additional Security Officer that will give "tickets" for admin actions. If you want working architecture that use this concept go to www.rsbac.de
You mean that IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WE RECEIVE 100% LOWERING IN WAGES, FOLLOWED BY A 50% VALUATION OF THE DOLLAR BY THE CENTRAL BANK? Uh oh... it's much worse...

Completely agree.
The alternatives of paying for support
are:
1) To sell proprietary product, which is
worse.
2) To go out of business (essentially to have no product at all).
No. Simple NO scholarships. Education expenses should be paid from federal taxes. That's it.
PB - Peta Bytes.
(no relation to PETA which is animal rights group).
in US. In Germany they still use MSDOS and
OS/2 and Linux for example.
I completely agree with that.

Okies... .su link...
here is a working
ftp://ftp.kiae.su/pub/linux
Killer app?! Murderer app! ... (You know what!)
it's
altlinux.ru ?
asplinux.ru ?
Heh, you sound like,
"I hate Pavarotti because my friend
Rabinovich sang his songs for me. It was
awful."
for the link of actual map or the map itself.
Not into shuttles and MKS...
No... if you want to, you can have
additional Security Officer that
will give "tickets" for admin actions.

SCIENCE 0wNZ YOU!
A FIRST BASS IN SPACE - Lance Bass!
Unfortunately, this joke never materialized...
You mean that
IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
WE RECEIVE 100% LOWERING IN WAGES, FOLLOWED
BY A 50% VALUATION OF THE DOLLAR BY THE CENTRAL BANK?
Uh oh... it's much worse...
It does not work for me - my performance is the same if I am promised anything or not and only can decrease if bosses pisses me off.
Ok... BUT! ... just look to distributive contents.

For example
-----
5 years ago
Java 1.0 (with all
bugs and kludges)
Now
Java 1.4 (most bugs fixed, a lot of improvements
----
5 years ago
Main web technology - CGI with spawned process.
Now
A lot of good scripting module languages
(mod_php, mod_python, websh,
Java servlets - for people who like).
----
5 years ago
Average disk size - 2-4GB on server
Processor speed - 300Mhz
Now
Average disk size on server - 200GB
Processor speed = 2 Ghz
----
5 years ago
Almost no good UNIX remote/inside admin tools
Now
monitoring -Nagios,
Administration - webmin,linuxconf, MandrakeControlCenter, etc.
-----
5 years ago
No good secure free Linux/Unix/other systems
Now
NSALINUX, RSBAC,Virtual servers - vserver,user mode linux, etc
----
A lot more examples... but the message will be too long....
Things are making administration easier... if you take some time to browse freshmeat.net
and slashdot.org
and
Create presentations, monitoring
systems with a lot of 3d and 2d diagrams
and histograms.
Bosses love that.
Ariane is NOT a russian rocket!
OS/2 is heavily used in ATM (bancomates) machines.
What happens with support for that stuff?
Switching to Linux?
Obvious solution: run "the beowulf cluster of those"
only in Winter...
Freedom, democracy and progress?
I prefer feeding, helping and stability...
That in Russia there is NO precedent law.
And judges shouldn't follow any precedents -
just a law word and reference books.
Isn't Microsoft not paying any taxes already?
The only thing I can say on this... Sigh...
