Could someone please tell me if there are apps on Linux that will:
o Let me re-author a dvd right down to the cells? o Let me edit DV video and have all the transitions and plugins that windows counterparts do? o Let me author a DVD including menus? o Function as well as Macromedia Fireworks for cutting up image comps for website build out? o Be a good substitute for a high end UML tool or something like a Rational Rose? o Work with my iPod? o Program/Author Flash Applications?
Until software developers get on the ball, it's tough for serious users to make the switch to Linux.
Unfortunately because I have yet to find a good free kid friendly proxy, I add rules to iptables.
There are about 50 sites they are allowed to go to, luckily right now they are young and their interest are narrow enough to be happy with the limited access. In a few years my method will be a useless:)
dude, DNS for 4 computers. come on couldn't you have just edited the/etc/hosts file with IP's. overkill, maybe.

also, why is the version of redhat so important?

are you connecting those hosts directly to the cable router. where's the firewall, most low end cable routers can't do acls. what gives?
>> I've never had a problem in the 3 years I've been using the router as the firewall.
I have a mixed network and have not had any problems with speed or the switches flaking out.
I have 3com gigabit cards in three computers and a 3com 100Mb card in one.
One gigabit machine is a redhat 8 machine that is used as the network attached storage (NAS) box feeding media throughout the house and acting as the DNS for the house (This is so much faster than relying on your ISP!) and to filter packets for the kids computer (Damn Pr0N!)
One gigabit machine is my personal desktop.
One gigabit machine is in the family room sucking media from the NAS.
The 100MB machine is upstairs and the kids use that one.
The gigabit machines are plugged into a LanReady gigabit switch that I bought for 60 bucks Ebay.
The 100MB machine is plugged into a 3com superstack.
Both switches are then plugged into the cable router.
Speeds between the gigabit machines average 50 Meg a second depending how large the files are and if it's streaming or copying, The 100Mb box pulls 7-8 MB a sec from the others.
As many as 6 years ago Volvo dealers were so high-tech that they could plug the car into the computer and in real time a tech in Sweden could help a tech anywhere else in the world trouble shoot an issue.
For regular maintenance things I usually use the shop around the corner but for serious issues, why would you?

I've had Apples in the past. My son has a G3 iMac now. They are hugely overrated and overpriced. I remember when I went to a PC and within 3 months it was quite apparent what a toy Apples were.
However my post is intended to reflect how the media seems to have the attitude of how Apple can do no wrong and how visionary they are. They aren't. Jobs is a genius marketer and fantastic cult leader. That is all.
I love OSX. Just wish it would run on x86 architecture.
Don't you know that your tablet PC sucks because Apple didn't come out with one first?
Had Apple come out with one all shiney and metallic the press would have heralded it as "visionary", "inventive", "out of the box" and whatever other nonsense terms the marketing dreck could muster.
Now for the useful part of this post.
I've spent a few weeks with the Toshiba Portege 3500 and found the handwriting recognition was excellent and the performance excellent as well. It was a bit pricey and I wouldn't have paid for it if I had to
The boot disk was cracked very easily using a sector editor. All they did was write some errors that during a copy the drive could not reproduce. All you needed to do was to edit the sector at the bit level and "write" those errors back to the disk. Voila. Cracked disk.
Cracks back in those days usually were little programs that would manually write those errors for you. Or at least that's what my program I wrote and released to the "scene" back then did:)
Ahh. The c-64 warez scene. Fire up the autodialer and let it loose on a list of phone numbers of your favorite warez bbs'es...
So it's our fault that they live in a country with an economy is shit and they rely on shitty jobs. I can see how that is America's fault.
Using that logic it would appear that you, not I, are the idiot.
That's ok. I used to be a part of the "Blame America for Everything" crowd. I used to march and chant slogans. Then I realized that actualy going to a third world country would likely do more than standing in the street, blocking traffic and talking to other whiners about how Starbucks is talking over the world.
Go to a country that has a "sweatshop" and actually talk to the people who work there. They are pissed as hell that "ignorant Americans" want to close down the factories because they think they know what's best for them. And not one that I talked were ever "beaten" or "overworked" as the leftist media here would tell you. Of course you would reply, "Of course you idiot! Theose people are too stupid to know they are being taken advantage of!"
But you are much too lazy for something like that. You'd be angry that you can't get good cell coverage or a good latte.
Dude. If you would have just attributed these crimes against the Bush Admin or Microsoft you would have ensured a +5 insightful. Now you are going to labeled "flamebait"
The interesting thing about liberals, progressives, socialists et al is how quickly they will shout down opponents while accusing their opponents of this same tactic. Dean shouting down a senior citizen weeks back is a classic example.
Opposing viewpoints are welcome as long as they are in line with their own.
If you have a chance to actually talk to folks who were in Iraq before and after the liberation, you'll find that life is better for the most part. Trading a flakey electrical grid for being safe from midnight abductions, rapes and torture is an easy trade to make.
one hour to put the hardware into three machines, about 3 hours total to install the OS and 1 hours to config them all. Even then it was 1/3'd the cost.
Nothing is "cobbled". With redhat you can save the config to "express" the install on subsequent machines. Very simple.
We have built a slew of 1U servers with ball bearing rails so they slide out. They are still 1/3 the price and just as easy to use and capable.
You are right though. It's a choice that some make. It just irks me that like most other things apple sells (Besides the iPod which is neato) they oversell their equipment and hope the shiny covering will confuse folks into thinking it must be a better choice.

Dude.
/. crowd as long as you are lying to Big Corporations, Republicans, Christians and Windows users.
Lying is perfectly fine with the
Wise up.
For me the text overlaps the side nav on the main page.
Doesn't anyone notice that slashdot and MANY MANY other sites do no render properly in Firefox where Mozilla works fine?
Back to Moz for now.
I really wish I could stay off of Windows.
