I think we should encourage user groups such as these instead of critisizing them. While the.NET technology is not of the same quality of what comes out of the loins of the Open Source developer community, it is a good start by MS.
By allowing the free sharing of code and information among MS developers, most of them will see the appeal that the global Open Source developer community offers.
are we finally able to display hot JPEGs such as these on the Ipaqs? http://www.chez.com/docfreud/images/girlz/ vanessa_ upton/uptonv.htm
I'm all for supporting the Open Source community of developers, but once in a while I need to look at pictures of hot women.
Only when we can display hot women in high quality JPEG format in our latest release of Mandrake can we withstand the stranglehold that MS has on the multimedia field.
Looking beyond how their deceived the hackers and tricked them into obtaining their login info...
The FBI used the login info to access computers on Russian soil without the permission of their owners. That in my book is illegal. The FSB is 100% correct in issuing an arrest warrant for Schuler.
What the FBI should have done is to contact the local Russian authorities to investigate the matter further. Yes, nothing may come out of it, but that's how it works in the world of international relations.
You just don't dismiss other countries' laws because it's inconvenient. It's a two-way street. It'd be interesting to see Australian or Indian intellegence agencies cracking US computers and getting away with it.
One day everyone will be afraid to enter another country because they unknowingly may have broken a law there.
I totally see your point. I refused to do the same with my VHS collection. I do like having the enhanced audio/video of a DVD but don't feel like buying the DVD version of "The Professional", "X-Files", and "Strange Days".
8 months without buying or renting a video or DVD!
Times of weakness: went to see Attack of the Clones and Spiderman. Rented "Siberia" from the alternative video store (Dutch movie). I have been borrowing movies from my friends when I have the need to watch something.
RIAA, bought the Blade sountrack (Cypress Hill vs Roni Size track) and may buy the new Hives CD.
I love your work, especially the "The CLIT is strong in this one" post. You and TrollBurger are my idols.
Only when we work has hard as the Open Source developer community can we overcome the inane elitism that holds back/. from being a true forum for the exchange of innovative ideas.
- they're hoping that by staying they'll be given a job by the new buyer/management - there's nothing else for them to do (have you seen the job market for out of work network techs?) - if the company does close, they may be able to sneak out a couple flat panels - they're trying to show potential buyers that they "care" about the customers, making it more attractive to the public (anyone who has worked on support hates the customer)
I think most people would stay for a couple of days, just to see what pans out, but beyond that?
They're efforts would be better directed in the Open Source developer community.
I applaud the initiative taken by these sysadmins. It is rather similar to the altruistic nature of the vast groups of Open Source developers that are so dedicated in producing quality software and systems.
It is only when the common man realizes that Open Source leads the way that we can shake off the corporate mantra of only using MS products.
When with TiVo users realize that the best way for them to enhance their TV viewing experience is to use an Open Source PVR? There is a great number of vastly experienced Open Source developers from which to leverage from.
Only when we aknowledge the benefits that Open Source instills on the entertainment industry can we lead a successful introduction into the corporate world.
Appreciate the warning, but I knew the potential trolling. Problem is, I've known a couple people like that and my Christian upbringing sometimes gets the better of me.
Only when we embrace the full potential of the Open Source community can we withstand the impact of lack of standards by MS.
... almost forgot...

- get more hours at the coffee shop. Start earning some money and some self-respect. - stop wasting your time on silly computer stuff. Either do something productive such as web-pages, programs, or server configs, or log off - take better care of your body; you'll feel better and people won't cross the street when they s(m)ee(ll) you. - sign up for some courses in anything you like. Meet real people who have similar interests. - do stuff around the house to help your parents. They're paying your bills, so show some responsibility and do your share. - volunteer for something.
I think this discovery will enhance the potential implementations of Open Source projects by the community of Open Source developers.
It is only when we work closely with the Research sector, the Open Source community has a chance to equal the accomplishments of totalitarian corporations such as MS.

I mean, there I was, along with my buddies from the pub playing hop-scotch, when the federales busted us for drawing lines on the sidewalk.
Also, what the fsck is a "subnet mask"?
When only law enforcement agencies are allowed to hack into wireless networks then the terrorists have already won.

I agree with what you wrote.
Ever since my neighbor deployed wireless, the voices in my head have been louder. Plus all my forearm air is falling off.
Peace.
I think that they could take this so much further if they used the immense talent of the Open Source developer community.
By re-writing the TCP/IP stack they could increase transmission speeds by up to 19.2% without having to lay down any new fiber.
Only when we harness the power of Open Source can we topple giants like Verizon, AT&T and Phil's Happy ISP.

Screw you MPAA!
I have it from a good source that he would never do such a thing.

Oh yes, it's a hoot! Knee-slapping funny!
It'd be more interesting to see people's reasons on why they troll.
A very annoying behaviour, just like public intoxication.
- they're hoping that by staying they'll be given a job by the new buyer/management
- there's nothing else for them to do (have you seen the job market for out of work network techs?)
- if the company does close, they may be able to sneak out a couple flat panels
- they're trying to show potential buyers that they "care" about the customers, making it more attractive to the public (anyone who has worked on support hates the customer)

Perhaps this is a serious cry for help ...
