I for one will be buying 9.1 professional. I use 9.0 pro now and am very happy with it. I tried bringing it up with the 2.6 kernel and KDE 3.2 but wasn't happy with that. Things didn't integrate well so I backed it down to a stock 9.0 package and all is well.
Having them integrate all the goodies ensures that everything will work as expected and I'm more than happy to wait (what else can you do?) for 9.1
I'll be traveling over to Fry's to pick up my package of 9.1 Pro when it hits the shelf. I want the DVD and CD's and books and support. And I don't mind at all paying for it because in my 27 years of working with/on computers, Suse is the BEST operating system package I have used. Everything else is just second rate and inferior.
Same tactic. Move in, offer cheap crap at very low prices. Drive competetors out of business, then when there is no competition, raise prices. After bleeding the town dry and destroying any hope of mom & pop stores ever making a comeback, shut down and leave town, off to slay another sleepy suburban town.
I'm staying with Linux and my money goes with Linux. After two years of running Linux I've not been hacked once, I've not gotten ONE SINGLE VIRUS, I've not had to look at one single pop-up add that I didn't want to look at, I've not had to look at one single BSOD, I've not had to reboot one single time unless I chose to.
I don't have to spend all my time in a panic worried about patches and viruses and other such nonsense. Neither do my friends and family, I converted them to Linux too. Now I don't have to worry about them either.
What does Windows offer me that I can't do with Linux? Nothing. Why should I use Windows which is constant trouble and extremely high maintenence and is a constant cash drain, versus the ONE TIME PURCHASE (if I choose to purchase v. free download) of a Linux distro, in my case Suse, that is mine, with no strings attached and will cost me no further money, ever?
Once I own the $89 Suse distro I never have to spend another penny on it or any other software, ever. It works. It's secure. Anyone that says it isn't is a stupid SOB or a liar or both.
someone goes postal on this. This is insanity and no one wants to lose their job. And to be forced to train your replacement? That's just flat out wrong.. There's a lot of unstable people out there, already under huge stress. Add this to the mix and you're asking for a body count....
It's sad, it's scary but it will happen. Count on it..
And the question begs, are they accepting applications??
In the 70's there was "Earthquake" the movie
on
Giant Sub-Woofer
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
(the 70's was fraught with disaster movies..) and the theaters installed super huge sub-woofers for the effect. When the quake hit, they lit off the sub-woofers with sub-sonics that literally made you shit your pants in terror, not expecting it of course, and no one had ever experianced sub sonics like that before. It was awesome. The speakers were trucked from theater to theater in a semi along with the reels.
A few years ago, one of the local theaters folded and they tore it down. They still had a set of the "Earthquake" speakers there and they THREW THEM OUT. I would have picked them up and brought them home but I didn't have a truck at the time:( There must have been $1,000 worth of hardwood plywood in those boxes...
Damn it! You guys/.'ed Hasbro! And I wanted to see the new Spirograph stuff!
Israel and the "Sword of Damocles"
on
Weapons in Space
·
· Score: 1
Israel already has nuclear tipped missles in orbit, on a satellite, aimed at the USA. The code name for this weapons platform is "Sword of Damocles"..
Do the research. They've had them in orbit for several years now. I became aware of this back in 1996. Brazil also has space based weapons in orbit. Yes, Brazil..
Excuse me rude dude but JFYI, my car is worth shit. No one wants a 29 year old car except nut cases like me. At the very best I could get $5,000 for it on a good day.
A NEW Mercedes can go easily over $100,000 but they are JUNK.
Your point is invalid because you are a foaming at the mouth, uninformed loony.
I, on the other hand acknowledge the fact that I am a nutcase and a cheap bastard and revel in it. But that still doesn't mean that I want a piece of shit Honda dripping fluids on my car or a stupid f*cking robot bashing or dropping it.
