Let me guess, you are a "nerd" and want recognition because of it? Well, tough luck! Society is based on people, and peoples' skill are judged based on how well you can comunicate those skill to other people. Most "nerds" are very intelegent, but the lack a key ability, charisma. Work on your charisma, everything will follow. Life is like AD&D, but on the game, as on real life, most "nerds" give little importance to that skill. I know I did for a very long time. Trying to improve my charisma in real life has been one of the most gratifing things I've done.
I'm sure those guys are in high demand right now. They must be sitting right in front of Steve Jobs in the meeting room right now!!! Hey Tiger is all the rage right now in IT circles, and who isn't looking forward to Leopard?
underrated? well i would say that novell's business strategy is
1- Create kick ass top of the line technology 2- Hide it as best as possible from customers 3- ????
Hopefully they're making some changes now. I still stand by my opinion that their directory and desktop management software is by far the best in the industry
Sorry, but that sounds completly like communism. It ain't going to work IMO. Open source works right now because people have a passion to do things right. If there's a "tax" to split between developers, then it becomes a matter of money, of who can get the largest slice. Your idea sounds really nice, but I'd say it sounds too nice to work effectively. An to which goverment would you pay? What if the project is being done over in India ? Would the US transfer the money over?
Do you use OO.o ?? Have you donated?? Free software is free to use. Like it or not. I would say that the school is doing more than its share by giving classes and getting the product know to young prospective users. Fair?? fair is using the product even if for free. Unfair would be taking the source code, rebranding and selling a propietary product. Unfair will be redistributing without the corresponging credit to the authors. Donating is beyond fair. Congrats to the school.
Yep, that's exactly why the ISP don't want IPv6. Incomming connections?? No way!! Leave that to more expensive plans with public IPv4 addresses. Incomming connections for things like Bittorrent and other p2p programs?? No way!! Better keep the users behind a NAT to keep bandwidth use low.
basically in asia aime==porn==kids movies==hentai. the content of many animes are more hardcore than many R movies in the US. One of my favorite lines is from Saint Seiya: "but we sent you to hell!!" "yes! but they kicked me out!" and this was actually a "kids" anime.
Your IT director is an idiot. How much does it cost to do updates by hand? Ask him to quantify it. Ask him to quantify ZEN Works. I was able to get a high school I used to work for to buy it. The support guys couldn't be happier when patches were done with a couple of clicks in ConsoleOne and boom...the whole directory is updated on next reboot. Mass deployments? Use multicast. Aplications assigned to users that are installed automatically on the workstation when the user logs in? Check . The cost was about one month of my salary. But then I understand you, they changed the IT Director and put an ass kisser that stopped us from using ZEN Works (and backup exec, so backups were done with "copy/s", and saddly I'm not kidding) so it all went down the drain. ZEN Works is worth it, believe me.
Ok....let's put it this way. I program against Sun's class libraries, using Sun's javac etc... I distribute my propietary (not open source, not GPL, not Apache license) program, but one of my clients decides to run the byte-code that he got from me in an Apache or GPL JVM. How can that be considered derived work, considering that I've never used other JVM apart from Sun's???
This is so very true. Microsoft will have a real product competing against the HUGE Sony hype machine. Everybody remembers what Sony was hyping with PS2. They didn't deliver. It didn't matter, they are still #1. Nintendo is doing the same, with the "Revolution". Microsoft only has a console with the only big thing beign the same big thing every console had in history: "better gfx than the previous one." And there's no way to change that, while Sony can always "leak" some incredible new detail of the PS3, the overly hyped Cell processor, etc.
Hey, I'm all for it, but in the meanwhile it's not like Intel is going to work with candlelight. Let me put it this way: we're a small country. Last year our gross internal product grew 5%, but 2% of the figure is solely due to Intel. And even then our economy sucks, imagine without Intel
People want to have their cake and it also. Right in front of my house is a huge electric tower that take power to an Intel fab about a mile away. Yes, they wanted Intel to set up a plant here. No, nobody was willing to sacrifice a little for the benefits. Anything new to see here? no, I don't think so
Anybody has used a thin client linux distro with nice (ttf support) fonts? I've used LTSP, and while it works nice, the fonts look butt ugly. There seems to be a way to enable ttf, but it seems overly complicated last time I checked.
I actually felt ultima 6 to be longer. Specially near the end when you notice that all your bad past deeds come to haunt you, your karma sucks (yes, even before slashdot was around) and you had to start over. In my opinion, the best story EVER in ANY game. A long story, a long game, with so many twists and turns. Especially when you find out who the hell the false prophet was. It would make a kick ass movie. The moral ambiguity (sp??) is great, much better than the current Hollywood (we're all good, they're all bad) crap. Too much ranting already.
I'm sure governments are forking a VERY significant amount of money for MS Office. Besides it's THEIR data, I guess that they have the right to know how it's stored.
However huge Microsoft is, they still need the OEMs, and I don't think they be very happy about this...Recycle old hardware?? A new Windows version that doesn't require a hardware upgrade to run more or less adecuate?? Time will tell,,
Regarding Filter, Richard Patrick got serious air time during the "Pretty Hate Machine", even though he only played on the tour (since as is widely known, Trent makes his albums pretty much alone). I'm sure that being in the "Head like a hole" video didn't harm his career.
On the movie, the one I'm speeking about is "House on Haunted Hill" features several scenes that are pretty much copies of the closer viedo, for example the one with a guy with googles hanging from the ceiling. The whole atmosphere is just like the video also.
From what I've read, the first Industrial band was Throbbing Gristle. In fact, they setup a label named Industrial Records, that's where the name comes. And that was in 1975. Their music is barely listenable to. It weird, bizzare, too experimental. Same as other groups of the time like Cavaret Voltaire and Foetus. Really weird stuff, that's "classic industrial" from what I've read.
In regards to Hanzel und Gretyl, give it a try, it's like cross between NiN and Rammsteint (they're from NY but sing in german) They have satirical twist also, and they throw bad sci-fi from the 50s in the mix. Two of their albums that I would recommend most are "Transmissions from Uranus" and "Ubber Alles"
"Pretty Hate Machine" came out on '89, and was expressly recommended by Axl Rose (at the time when Gn'R was at the top and everyone listened to what he said). I would think that "Head like a hole" would qualify like a main stream hit. But you're right, Ministry is a big part of "mainstream industrial" also, but I don't dig Ministry that much, I've only got Psalm 69. Thanks for the recommendations, I have at least some music by all of them (Skinny Puppy is the best IMHO). Have you heard Velvet Acid Christ? Hanzel und Gretyl? Not very often do we get an industrial discussion in/.
This guy was the first big artist to record the soundtrack for a computer game (remember Quake 1?) Now he's the first one to release a song as a GarageBand file. He brought industrial music (or something like this) into the main stream. Be brought forward some new huge bands like Marylin Manson and Filter (I'm not arguing if they're good or bad) But he is just going to release his fourth album in almost 20 years of career. There's even a WHOLE movie that's based off the images of the video for "Closer" (Ok, so the movie sucks and the video wasn't Trent's work, but still) For me, this guy is the most influential musician of the last 15 years.

Do you mean I can also run non-GPLed programs in Linux !? wow.....

3. The previous 2 points are COMPLETLY hypotetical due to lack of ANY real evidence of such events
Yeah right, like someone (BSD) might build a network stack that anybody (yeah, even a company like Microsoft) can use for free.
