I do, as soon as I get my 10% cut of the 15 mil., from this really nice guy from nigeria whose uncle (the late military leader) who unfortunatey was killed.
Our future is a positive future.
Hopefully he is not saying this from a lawyer's perspective. Here is hoping 25 years from now, the law will have a LOT more common sense than it does now. here is hoping corporate america won't be able to use the law as means of terrorizing joe america.
Here is hoping no 14 year kid gets sued and branded as a criminal for something as trieft as downloading a song or two. Here is hoping no one company can sue and lay claim on the product of hardwork of millions of developers across the globe.
And finally here is hoping that the law and courts be used to settle much more pressing issues like corruption, and crime and not trivial issues like carving of some 10 commandments in front of the court.
What is interesting is that the rate of adoptation of VoIP technologies in way faster in asian and african countries than western countries like america where the land line network is in existance for a long time.
It would really be sad , if the VoIP technology in US is also controlled by the baby bells.
hat you say may be true for the desktop scenario, but server scenario is a whole different ball game.
For e.g. can Windows allow the following things...
Change network configurations on the fly. which may include , changin domains, sub domains, IP addresses etc, and not having to reboot ?
Restart the windowing system parameters on the fly, i.e. update the video card drivers and not rebbot.
Windows still require a lot of rebooting for tasks which can be done very easily in linux, just by reloading kernel modules. What more, I hear 2.6.4 even supports hot swapping of CPUs.
If you think seinfeld was funny because , people cheated, humiliated and screwed over, then my friend, you really missed what seinfeld was all about.
I pity you for missing all the subtle humour in seinfeld, which truley makes it one of a kind.
Or to quote Sherlock Holmes...."To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived"
it sure kicks the crap out of XP on the dark side of my pc.
Can you elaborate on this, please ? In what way does it beat XP ? speed , responsive ness , look and feel , usability ?
I use KDE too, but I don't use XP, So I can't compare, but I would sure like to know more, than a mere blanket statement like , "KDE kicks crap out of so&so"

Wicked Cool Shell Scripts

Yes but you are missing a big point here.
The programming languages like C, C++, Java etc, are strongly typed languages and the compiler will give you sufficient information to correct your incorrect syntax problems.
So even when you switch from say C++ and Java, with a little common sense and reading the compiler errors and warnings you can easily pick up java syntax, keywords etc.
But with scripting languages it is not so, as they are not compiled. This is especially a headache when you are dealing with multiple unix machines having differnet shells.
I once worked at a job where I had to use , csh (c-shell) , sh (original bourn shell) , ksh ( korn shell ) and bash (bourn shell ) on different linux, solaris and HP-UX boxes. It was a real headache maintaining the scripts.
All these scripts differ quite a lot in syntax , especially for arethmatic, redirects , invoking sub shells , comparision operators etc.
What is needed is a good shell cross referencing manaul which will provide comparative features of at least the major shells like , bash , sh, ksh, csh, tcsh , zsh.
They can have all the control over the content and all the control over price too....as long as they don't have the control , to force me to watch TV.
I think this is a blessing in disguise, as it is I hardly watch any TV. Reality TV having hardly any reality. Melodramatic sitcoms,too predictable and not remotely funny. MTV, please don't even get me started. Sportstars are more and more appearing in Legal courts than stadiums.
Heck even the national geographic and discovery channel programs seem over dramatized. Remember the Nat. Geo. special about the hole drilling in one of the Pyramids a few months back.
Amongst all those ads, trying to get me to buy stuff that I really don't need, and all those sensationalized news reports, I am truely Bored of TV.

Sigh , people these days just don't bother to read the RFCs.
I guess a lot of PHP user base was once doing mod_perl and CGI. I personally use JSP, but often find it too cumbursome for quick hacks.
Or maybe he was too buzy building the computers... ;)

If the script is not working as you want, put a
on the fist line and on the last line.You will see the exact execution path and variable expansion, very neat for debugging
Think of it, just ssh to your parent's box, and emerge -uD world.
Of course, you don't need to compile all s/ws. Install from stage 3 and use GRP , for pre built binaries.
Make that "Now, more secureer and stableer than ever before!"
People always like their comparative adjectives with , "ER" in the end.

Have we been so hooked on popcorn entertainment, that we need it 24x7 , in our lives ?
subtle , extremely subtle.
Well, since you will be long gone, when and IF that happens, why not raise the odds to 100:1, what you gotta lose any way ?
