ubuntu wants to kick a release out the door every 6 months, i think it would be wise to release once a year and no more frequent than that, the rest of the Linux distros & community works at a slower pace than ubuntu wants to run at...
Base releases are every 6 months. (and some people still complain that it is too slow) LTS releases are every 2 years. (and some people still complain that it is too fast) In the Linux world, no matter what you do, someone will hate you.
You can mod your car every which way and they can't prevent you nor can they "undo" it. Moreover, the mods don't void the warranty.
A bunch of DSM, NISMO, Honda and Subaru fanboys would be laughing at you right now if they were so busy crying about broken heads, transmissions, and warranty's. Some were voided for just showing up at a racing event or car show.
That all said, I so wanted an iphone when it came out. I was so pissed it was not on my carrier. I am so glad I didn't get one now!
Packets are being sniffed as they traverse thru the tubes. Try this, do a google search for something made up. Try to get a page result of 0. Do this a few times and write down each time you get a 0 result. Come back in a few days and do a google search and you will probably find some custom pages. Is this google tasting?
Interesting... I just tried with the word "carkfuck" and got 0 results. I wonder what it will look like next week? Oh Shit! It will point to slashdot!
PS: I had to try a few nonsense terms... Do you know how hard it is to find something not in google?
Would it be possible to request so many nonexistant domains to make this unprofitable? Or would they just figure you're having a seizure at your keyboard and drop your IP from the logs?
Run the search slow via tor so it comes from many IP addresses. Also, do some bulk "tasting" of your own. If enough of us do that, it could become unprofitable for the registrars...
All the big ISP's seem to be convinced they can keep people in their own little ecosystem. God knows why. Like, what if one of their users tries to send a file generated by their supercool Bigpond Office software to someone, I dunno, who doesn't use BigPond? And it doesn't work? How useful is that?
I have a plan! I will start an ISP, but I will have my own internal e-mail to protect others from spam! I will have my own content and forums to protect you from spam, kiddy predators, and porn. I will have limited, filtered, and very slow connections to the internet to protect you from hackers. I can call it CompuServe! (I think the name became available this August...) I should make a mint in venture capital since no one reads history anymore.
I still don't understand why ISPs are not doing more about this. SPAM uses a large amount of the precious and limited bandwidth, but they filter p2p? I get 10 to 20 spam an hour. As I have more than one e-mail client (one on laptop, one at home, one at work...) each one gets passed off the SIP mail server 3 times for me. It also passes in to the ISP mail server once, so 20-30 messages times 4, times 24 hours times each user ads up to how much bandwidth? And this is why I can't seed my Ubuntu images?
But is that because ESR ranted about it, or because Apple bought it and took over development?
The entire story is on the web, so anyone with the desire can decide for themselves. For me, I think some of both. Apple allowed more focus on usability, and an injection of cash. ESR posted a very public, and well reasoned bug report. But the trend is there, and more projects are reacting in a similar fashion.
To "love" something means many things. Love for these things (possibly excluding the ex) almost certainly has nothing to do with finding them sexually attractive and wanting to "make love" to them. Do you love your parents? Your children? Your pet? You (and a good number of other posters here) seem to be using the word "love" with the wrong meaning.
I think the topic under discussion is romantic/sexual love, which has nothing to do with most things you mention. Well, maybe a video game character for some people - perhaps if they are lonely and can't find a real life lover - although that is strange and probably involves imagining the character as having sexual attributes of a real person in some way. But sex with a car? That seems like a wild stretch of imagination.
More than likely, the truth. Lately Linux has been big on exposing, and then fixing, it's faults. You see, the problem with geeks is that when we fix a bug with an ugly hack, we forget about it. An honest assessment is often welcomed, and rapidly followed by a better fix.
For example, look at the ESR rant about cups. http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cups-horror.html Part 2 goes on to say how cups developers contacted him as well. And have you seen cups lately? It got better. So, I think the article will point out some significant faults. And I bet you won't find many of them next year...
The real fun part will be looking at this article in a year and see how many Linux faults got fixed, and how many Mac faults are still there.
Evolution is a quite good clone of Outlook. That said, neither have spam filtering as good as Thunderbird, which is what I use.
Your were the one that brought up "Anecdotal evidence is not evidence" so the fact that you have not seen your tellers using anything but Windows means little. Frankly I do not know what my teller uses, as I can not see her screen by design. If you can at your bank, consider locking your credit report.
No, I will not give you my client list, or violate any NDAs I have signed. If you want the info (and are not just trolling) google "Linux Sucess Stories" and you can read for a long time.
The fact that Windows is still selling well could not be the desire of businesses to cling to an old business model well past when it makes sense...
But I am not bothered by your opinion. I know that I am busy converting over clients to Linux as fast as i can. That is good enough for me.
Really? Linux is better? Considering that you have to throw out all investment in the software you have which runs on Windows? You need to forget everything you learned about Windows, and re-learn for Linux? That's a better idea?
This shows how little experience you have in this regard. Not surprising, as few people do. None of my customers do, for example, until I come in. Lets start with "Legacy Software." Surprisingly enough, most business legacy software is DOS based! Really! The nasty old crap they can not do without runs very well in dosbox and Wine. And a lot of other Windows stuff works well in Wine. For the one or 2 apps that do not, a VM or terminal server work well. But most of my clients have lots of people that use a web browser, e-mail and Word, and nothing else. Linux can do this.
As to relearning, I suggest you try the latest Ubuntu LiveCD. If you can not figure out how to be productive, I will be surprised. Most people I have dealt with find it easier to adjust to than Vista. You know that they moved things in Vista, right?
MS and Intel have been their own biggest competitor for years. With each new revision they have to go out and convince people that latest one is the best one ever and the old one should be replaced.
The problem is that New Version is not a forgone conclusion. Reading TFA, Linux is actually a better answer to most of the issues raised. And if you convince your customers that they need to replace the old, they may look at other options for the new. Windows can become Mac or Linux. Pentium can become AMD... This is risky, but what choice do they have?
But they can't get someone else to fix the crappy movies. Getting someone else to stop piracy for free is a good thing for them. I wonder if I can get someone else to pay my rent?
I'm betting google will come out with everything it intended to.
The question is what does it intend? Do they really want national spectrum, or are they just trying to drive up the price to financially cripple competitors?
Yeah this is no big surprise. Nor are the pieces with no new information surfing the outrage. However, there are good review sites out there and there is an easy test for them. Read the latest 10 reviews. If at least 2 aren't trashing the object of the review as junk, there just might be a bias somewhere. This is for games, tech, TVs, cars, food or whatever. If everything you see is fantastic, I don't want your opinion.
Since you've been modded up to "5, insightful"- would you care to tell us what is illegal about it? Extra credit for references to specific federal or state laws or regulations.
And, more specifically, if it is illegal, why this is (supposedly) pushing Congress towards net neutrality laws?
When they send a rst packet that appears to come from me, it is fraud. Interfering with traffic in this way (claiming to be the other end to each end) is a "Man In the Middle" attack, and illegal in many states. However, not all. I have noticed that there have been no confirmed cases in Texas that I know of, it is goes against the Texas computer crime statute as I interpret it. (IANAL) I doubt that is coincidence... And that is also why a federal law is needed for the states where there is no protection.
I'm not sure comcast is *that* sad to see you go. Their entire business model is based on overselling their bandwidth. Their favorite customers are those that pay $50/mo for internet access, and then only check their email.
Perhaps. But the were quite concerned when I pulled my brothers home account and the 10 commercial accounts I manage after the latest BS they drug me through. It is the power users everyone goes to for recommendations. And my recommendation lately has been Uverse... And to add insult, I never had Comcast at home.
But how many would? There are "Chilling Effects" all over the place. For example, I don't want to share my data because it may not be deleted, (Gmail and facebook) and I don't want you to share my data because I don't know what you will do with it, (RIAA) and no one wants to approach the line because lawyers are too damn expensive. I think we need to reinstitute "Trial by Combat" as a defense. Nothing else has stopped frivolous legal shenanigans...
It's actually not that difficult to make publishing the default. What version control system are you using? Most will allow public (read-only) access, either with their tool or via some web interface.
gedit...:) Essentially we do some slight modifications to existing projects, generally by hand, but occasionally by script. There is no svn, so scripts may be modified for a version rev with no backup taken. It is not major development here... The major work we do is contributed to the project first and rolled out by the project incorporating it. However, this makes tracking the little changes and helper web pages a challenge.
I work for a company that provides Open Source solutions. We are actively involved in several FOSS projects, and support the concept any way we can. That said, with the rapid advances of the base projects, and our changes to those projects, it is very easy to let publishing the source slip down the priority list. I have forgotten several times, and this has been on projects I develop for! (I fix it as soon as I realize...) I would bet many omissions can be attributed to overwork, and not malice.
This is an excellent example of the power of an educated public. Groklaw would try to educated the public, not just grab a headline. As more people notice this, and it becomes popular / profitable, perhaps media can start to have more depth than a puddle. I think it is awfully nice to get more then a biased cursory glimpse at a story once and a while...

The scary thing was that I read this story and knew where to find the link. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/26/bike_incident/ Can I weep for our future now?
Hence the large number of pets people have.
But loving of pets is illegal in most places, no matter what you see on those websites.
People already fall in love with a car, a boat, a Playstation, a video game character, a crack addicted ex... We can love anything. No news here.

TELLING YOUR PARTNERS TO MAKE DECENT FUCKING MOVIES. Maybe then people might want to pay 30 bucks to see your movie in a theater...
