So the people in most US cities who are making your lattes, flipping your burgers, and bagging your groceries are expected to live off of that.
And there is a reason they're mostly all teenagers too. They live at home with their parents because most are still in highschool. They don't have "bills." They don't have to live off of that. They get a job to have extra spending money to buy the new Justin Timberlake or Outkast CD.
Bah, Latin is for pansies. Try learning Ancient Greek. Now that's a hard dead language to learn. Nothing like a new alphabet to bring into the mix. And don't forget that many words are well over 10 characters in length. And the accenting rules, sheesh!
Seriously, the declensions in Greek (and Latin too), and the lack of word order bearing any meaning whatsoever really threw me for a loop at first.
I also have learned so much about English grammar.
Anyway, I agree, Linux is more wide spread now. There are more Linux users (like me) that came from Windows now. I didn't know much about the BSD's and UNIX in general until I got to know Linux.
"The dollars i see on movies (when something carring a lot of then explodes or breaks) don't look smaller or white on the other side. Which kind of replica they use?"
They use real cash!
Do you really think these action movies cost $50,000,000 to make? No, the real cost comes in blowing up all that real cash.
Yeah, I remembered hearing that scream in RotK when one of the guys fell off the giant elephant. I thought, that sounds like the screams from the guys in Temple of Doom, who, btw looked very similar to the elephant guys.
UserLinux is for corporate desktops, not home users. Corporate desktop users don't get choice, everything is set up and locked down by the admin. This gives the admin one less choice to make.
So what, they can't have people doing a French dub at the same time they're doing to Spanish dub?
Why don't they start work on this as soon as the movie hits theaters, or better yet, once post production starts. That gives them plenty of time to find voice actors and get all the dubs and other material together before the DVD hits shelves in 3 to 6 months.
Now for censorship laws and such, you'll have a problem doing a one size fits all approach. But for most places, I don't see why they can't have all the subtitles and dubs prepared in time.
The SCO compliant is that IBM gave away proprietary source code that undercuts SCO's SCOSource division. No one has to pay SCO licenses since IBM gave out the code.
At least, that is my take on it. But I'm not sure if that even makes since. I need to sleep.
" and has since moved to providing only the Server."
Not true, there is RHEL Workstation. This is the desktop edition, albeit for businesses only.
RedHat gave up on a consumer/small business distro for the desktop because there was no money there. They still have a desktop distro for the enterprise.
The community supported Fedora is their replacement for RHL. They got rid of the support costs of RHL while still providing a free distro and getting a testbed for new features that may make it into RHEL.

" Heck the XP install even asks you for an administrator password and then the names of user accounts to make. Those user accounts default to non-root"
Maybe in the Warez copy of XP you have, but the OEM XP Dell Disc that came with my laptop creates all users as Administrators.
Because Slashdot subscribers pay for it up front, Amazon one click users do not. There is no sale on Slashdot, you just use up credits you've already purchased.
At least, I think that's how it works, I'm not a subscriber so I'm really just talking out of my rear.
The only thing I've noticed that doesn't use the default browser settings is MSN Messenger, which opens IE to check your Hotmail no matter what your default browser is.
I think most people here are confused. Yes, if you have Terminal Services running on Windows Server and have the licenses for it, you can have multiple users connected at once.
However, when connected to an XP machine, there can only be one user connected at a time. This includes someone sitting at the machine. A remote connection knocks off the person sitting at the desktop and vice versa.

Vacation = usually 25 days a year. This may be called "earned leave" or "privileged leave" and is encashable for money if not consumed.
Official holidays (legally *required*) = 10 days a year. These can not be encashed.
Medical insurance coverage is required.
So what you're saying is, benefits are better in India than they are in the U.S.
Plenty of Jobs, good benefits, I think I'm moving to India.

Greek and Latin should be taught in every school.
Agreed. IDEA IntelliJ is the BEST Java IDE ever created.

Sun is not giving away source, only binaries.

"without the floor space overhead. but i personally won't buy electronics from anyplace i can't walk into"
Gateway has brick and mortar stores. I think they're called Gateway Country Stores. There is one here in Jacksonville, FL.
Yeah, for their desktops.
I don't know many people recommending XP for servers.
The SuSE deal is for servers.
Finally a question not covered by the Fedora FAQ.

Because Perens and his industry backers will market the hell out of it. More power to them.

" Java portable? Isn't that an urban legend? "
Nope, we run the same Java app on Windows and Linux without changing anything, not even a recompile.
"it isn't good for embedded applications."
You do realize all those full color games you play on your new Nokia are all written in Java don't you?
The fact that you are a woman on Slashdot precludes you from being considered in his generalisation about women. ;-)
