With the standard Red Hat you get everything you need to run an enterprise web server, Apache, Perl, PHP, PostGres and MySQL as well as enough dev tools to keep you happy for a while.
The other thing to consider is that their are alternatives to the RedHat system, Gnomes Red Carpet Updater is one as is atp4rpm, the other thing you could do is build from source.
Any moderately skilled Admin should be able to set up something to keep the updates coming. Failing that you could always migrate to another Distro, Suse or Mandrake or any of the other two dozen or so Distros.
I do not believe that it is not possible to build a server or workstation from the downloadable ISO's that is not equivelant or better than the ES.
A "truly international" Space Agency would spend most of it's time squabbling over which country gets the rocket contracts and how much launch facility compensation must be paid.
Funny that sounds exactly like the way it happens now, only replacing nation states with US States. I never said it would be easy, it will need strong leadership and a hands off approach from the pollies (I know I know) but it could happen.
hippocampus is kind of like a dvd decoder chip on a dvd player
Shhh don't tell the MPAA, otherwise they'll be demanding that we got DMR installed in our hippocampuseseseses.
Im sorry, not being an American I am a little confused, how come the guy who blew up the Oklahoma building was tried in a civilian court and this guy can't be? I'm really asking here.
Oookkay, so what you're saying is that all the craters in the world were made by giant geysers, set there by god to flood the world. To paraphrase a dodgy movie - "Show me the water." Where in the crust of the planet has their been discovered a body of water large enough to flood the planet a la Noahs Ark(if that is what you are referring to).
Most meteor craters are thousands if not millions of years old, and in that time they have been weathered down, especially if they are under water. As to the actual meteorite itself, when it impacts with the surface it doesn't stay in one piece, it explodes, scattering pieces of itself over a radius of hundreds to thousands of miles if it is big enough. The core does manage to bury itself into the ground but what is left is nowhere the size of the original object.
The Meteorite theory of the destruction of the Dinosaurs is just that, a theory, however at the moment it is the theory which more closely fits the facts as we know them. Who knows, another theory may come along which gains main stream acceptance, but for now I'm going to stick with the big rock falling on dinosaurs head theory, it makes more sense than the giant flood theory.
Why did you mention a business model? Frankly space exploration is and should be above the almighty dollar. As I have said before if we could set up a truly International Space Agency with contributions from every nation on the planet then we would be getting a hell of a lot further along than we are at the moment.
But thats just me I suppose, silly me for believing that the continuation of the species is a good thing.
Important point - Linux is a UNIX Workalike, AIX is a derivation of the original UNIX making them completely different beings. Linux was built from the ground up based on the POSIX standards.
Okay the site design looked like a dogs breakfast but at least Linus's comments were interesting? Weren't they?
He basically said what everyone else knows, SCO is going to hell in a hand basket and in desperation is trying to suck more money out of IBM. The bullshit claims about linux are nothing more than that, bullshit.
Totally agree with you, the Shrub and his conservative backers seem to be hell bent on re-living the 50's where Mom made apple pie and Dad went out and worked. Our PM down here seems to have the same fascination with the 50's, a decade that brought us Apple Pie, DDT, The Vietnam War(Part 1), The Cold War and many other events that set the scene for a massive backlash in the 60's and 70's.
Where I work the network has been split into two sections, IT and Engineering. The IT section is run suprisingly enough by trained IT personnel, the Engineering section by engineers who think they know how to run a network. Guess what the Admin password was on the Engineering servers - "".
Now if there had been basic password checking enabled from the get go, at least they would have been forced to use a bloody password.
I won't disagree with you there, however I would like to believe that we can strive towards a goal of a society that while being open and having more liberal views on sex, is also hard on those who would abuse those in our trust. It is possible to allow porn and disallow films that advocate crimes such as child pornography and sex killings.
I was talking about the fetishes involved in S&M, not the simulation on tape. See the good thing about societies is that they can collectivly draw a line and say, this is acceptable to us, we may not like it but it is not hurting anyone, however THIS is not acceptable and we will not tolerate it. Its a powerful thing, community and god knows it has gone wrong in the past, but in the right direction it can do wonders for its participants.
Ummm no this worm attacks the Windows Registry, and drops an exe file, both of which don't actually exist under Linux. Samba is a protocol but its the underlying OS that would determine vulnerability.
Umm wasn't the tale of Solomon and the baby really just a vieled threat to the other Israelites? You know something along the lines of Israel being the baby and Solomon threatening to start a war if the others don't back him?
Im sorry, but are you seriously defending sex with children? I think you can safely say that fourteen and eighteen is wrong, fourteen and twenty is wrong and fourteen and forty is where you start to seriously consider chemical castration. Under the age of fifteen children are no where near mature enough to understand the ramifications of sex, neither are they in a real position to say no, especially if the other person is an adult. As to an adult who consents to their under age children having sex? Well they are the reason we have Social Services.
I have every belief in live and let live for other cultures, I have lived amongst different cultures for most of my life, from Asian to middle eastern, however it is my belief however much you admire another culture if you want to be true to yourself as a member of your own culture their are certain tenets that you just cannot put aside and say "It's alright, it's their culture". One of them is the concept that having sex with children is wrong.
Okay shockwave and flash are not HTML editors, they are not related to the HTML standard in anyway. As for the WSYISWG editors for Linux, I can really do without it thanks. The last thing I want is some piece of software generating crap code that takes forever to clean up.
On Windows I use EditPlus, on Linux Emacs, that way I have full control over what I am building, if I want to see what its going to to look like on each platform I just fire up the relevant browser.
You know what, fine, All censorship is evil, now lets get rid of those rulings that indicate that porn is only available to the over eighteens, this is obviously censorship, while we're at it why don't we remove all programme classifications as well, thats got to be censorship because people won't watch if its a certain rating. Also while we're at it lets take away the idea that society as a whole, through government can set a minimum standard to which the societies members are expected to comply, because that is obviously censoring their freedom of expression.
See censorship is not all or nothing, it is a gradual thing, at one end you have no censorship, anything goes, whether its watching a blow job on the nightly news or renting a snuff video from your local store, at the other we have the stalinist states which controlled everything that you heard or saw in the media, neither of these are good, we need to strike a balance between the right of the individual to freedom of expression and the right of the society to expect certain minimum standards to be adhered to.
Sick Fuck: Those that gain enjoyment out of sexual relations with minors under the age of fifteen, especially those who partake in sexual relations with children under ten. I don't care what society you are from, but if you fuck an eight year old then you deserve to have your testicles removed and shoved down your throat.
I don't care if you consider it your right under some religious law or whatever, there is no good reason biological or other wise to have sex with a pre-pubescent child.
But you make the statement that Censorship is an all or nothing proposition. It doesn't have to be. By your argument it should be perfectly alright to show hardcore porn on your local tv channel at a time when children are most likely to be watching, because to move it to a late night time slot would be censorship.
I have said it before and I will say it again, the banning of Child Pornography and the subsequent crack down on people who produce and view it is not censorship. It is a justifiable response to a crime that is one of the truly heinous crimes. Child pornography is not a political statement, it is not a religious statement, it is purely for the entertainment of sick individuals who seem to think that a ten year old is fair game.
I am thinking, funnily enough I have no problem with watching two or more adults fuck each others brains out on the internet, nor do I have a problem with the right of the various hate groups to proclaim their fatalistic drivel. What I do have a problem with is people lumping the concept of Child Pornography in with the issue of Freedom of Speach.
The blockage of Child Pornography is not an issue of Free Speach, it is a crime in every sense of the word. There is no excuse for it, no justification. Those who want to say that Child Porn is no justification for censorship might look at what actually happens to the kids who get caught up in the hell that is constant abuse.
Okay quick lesson in the Parliamentary system, basically you have two or more parties, one party, with the most seats forms a government, the others form an opposition. Therefore the government is only made up of those with the most seats. Thats the way it works in Aus, NZ, England and any other country that follows the WestMinster system.

Ummm no the cheapest Web Server package you can get from RedHat? Free. Just download the ISO's and burn away.

So where do you put the people who molest children?
