Where is the notice for this? The only thing I find in the release notes on replication is:
"New/contrib/rserv replication toolkit (Vadim)"
I can't seem to find it any place else? The reason I went with MySQL over PostgreSQL was the desire/need for easy replication. From what I know, PostgreSQL has some third party tools, but I wanted something that was apart of PostgreSQL itself, and this would be nice to see.
"When a human player take a look at the chess board, he rejects the vast majority of the possible moves and concentrate only on very few of them."
Which is exactly what Fritz does. Blue was the one that would cover every single possible move. Hence, it had to have more computing power to cover more moves.
Fritz however, only is interested in the interesting moves. Fritz does EXACTLY what you are talking about.
yum by default? Err...I don't see that anywhere. Indeed, I see all over Fedora sites yum AND apt4rpm.
Another thing, many of her complaints are true. For example, RPM locking has been a constant headache for me. Also, many of the other problems she mentions is also true, and then she even fails to mention a few of the problems.
For example, Fedora's still buggy support for a multi-monitor system employing more than one video card. Fedora burns on this.
As mentioned by Peter Jackson and the other writers of the screenplay, it couldn't be done. Having read the books many times, I tend to agree. For example, if they had filmed the council of Elrond to the book, it would have been dreadfully long.
I agree, there are scenes that I miss (Tom and the wight, for example), but as they said, "The never say they didn't go there, they just don't mention it..." =)
Yeah, the Two Towers they added some things. But I don't feel any of it was wrong, or that Tolkien would have not approved. Me? I am happy that PJ and the rest did as good a job as they did. It could have turned out a LOT worse. The films were obviously done with a lot of attention to detail. And as they said, when they made changes, they made the changes carefully.
Font support is fine out of the box for me, and the Linux disto's I use. In Windows, I have to turn AntiAlias font's on. It's off by default.
Copy and past work fine.
How many linux distributions do you use? I use one. It's also amazing when I see commercial applications that run on Linux all over the place, without any modifications.
Drivers: Okay, I will give you that.
Games? I can run a large number of popular games on my computer. I can also run a large number of popular games on my PS2.
Luckly for them, Linux has a lot of hype right now, and so a lot of marketing is already done for them. Basically, it's the sales force that needs to do it's job.
Yes, there have been UPDATES to the Fedora site. And it's currently in BETA, so don't expect it to work with up2date. Indeed, you don't need up2date, but rather, just use apt4rpm.
Severn isn't stable...heh, what gave you the clue? The fact that it's stil in beta, or all the "Testing" and "Betas" on the install?
Size of budget, success, or size of "cast" has nothign to do with it being an indie film or not. Indie films are independantly created from the major movie studios, usually from small studios. However, good movies quickly get handed more money, and more exposure to do more with.
Take "Schindler's List" for example. A studio would normally never touch a movie like that, however, and indie studio would, and would greenlight such a movie.
It's a teaser...a teaser is something that doesn't deal with any part of the plot, merely tells us that the movie will be coming out. It does exactly that: tease.
As long as dumb-of-the-mill average people thing teasers are trailers, I assume they will think that the trailers are in fact, the movies.
You can't just buy shares that aren't there to be sold. Google wants to sell about 10% - 15% of the company in the IPO, which hardly gives anyone a strong influence.
1. Find a good open source project. 2. Fund it's developer's. 3. Continue to release the product under an open source license. 4. Make it a better product?
And that's a bad thing? That's right, let's curse all the companies that support open source projects.
That is assuming MS wanted to win the case. They could have easily won the case if they wanted. However, by loosing the case, they simply pave the way for more MS insurance on the browser market. Suddenly, commercial vendors releasing browsers must comply. This means that when a user switches, they will blame the browser rather than MS, which will provide a MS-only solution to the problem.
The other issue is that the next iteration of Windows wouldn't use plugins but would rather embed the browser with the OS (even more so) and so Windows Media player isn't a plugin as much as IE and MP are practically the same.
Of course, these are all the conspiracy theories (and there are many more...), and I don't necessarily believe it.
And that pretty much says it all right there. Now, mind you, I use Open Office was well. Being on Linux, I have no choice. However, that "90% of the features being crappy" remark is telling. Simply put, most of the missing features are indeed features people who use the office suite every day need. Most of the people may not need the features. So they don't know about them, or use them. But some of the people do need these advanced features.
Are you suggesting that programmers should only program for the majority of people, and tell the minority to fsck off?
They mention it in the article, that they weren't put their by the creators. The axe heads are from (iirc) 1500BC, and stonehenge was created more than 500 years before that.
However, these axe heads coincide with other similiar burial sites.
"And no, Linux is not a desktop OS - ie something regular people can use (yet)."
Yes it is. People seem to forget Linux was developed to be a desktop OS. Being a server was second.
Secondly, it's being used by regular people, now, today. I know them. These are the same people that didn't know how to do things on Windows, and while they still don't know how to do things on Linux, they think it's more fun.
You know, if you read the article, also send in your comments. Most magazines, if they recieve a large enough response to an article, will go back and investigate an article in more detail. While people generally don't want to believe it, most editors and journalists still try and do the right thing (coming from experience). The problem isn't that journalists are one sided, but rather, they are human, and sometimes, in the course of an investigation, only one side really rears it's head.

But in Canada, being bilingual is normal. French and English speakers are common. And $17-$19 CAD is far above minimum wage.

RTFA.
Yes, let's see:
1. Find a good open source project.
2. Fund it's developer's.
3. Continue to release the product under an open source license.
4. Make it a better product?
And that's a bad thing? That's right, let's curse all the companies that support open source projects.
Is that a sign this site is heavy on making political statements, or a sign that YRO are being challenged more often?

So basically, you won't use Linux until Linux supports all the viruses Windows gets?

"Apple has made many claims to be the first, fastest and only 64-bit processor for the desktop and workstation market"
No, it never has.
It has made claims that it has the first desktop with a 64 bit processor, and that it's has the fastest desktop out there.
Since when has a AMD or even Intel put out a desktop? Dell and HP do, I know that. But AMD and Intel don't.
