Rhythms was nice. I was plenty pissed when they went down and Telocity was the provider picking up my line. Their terms of service and prices sucked. That's when I switched to Speakeasy. Turned out great. I still have both the DSL modems from Rhythms and Speakeasy.
I'll attest to that. I had great service from them in Minnesota. Full DNS hosting fees were a little on the high side I thought, but hosting it myself on the connection they gave would not have been a problem. They're very *nix friendly. They used to have a few wisecracks on their website about people wanting to run NT Server.:) I got a pretty good vibe from MegaPath too, but I never actually had service from them.
The CO servicing me is too outdated even though I'm in range, so I'm stuck with a crappy cable service (I actually find myself eager for Time Warner to buy out the community contract so I can get roadrunner).
You're supposed to take it upon yourself to pay state sales tax for online purchases. I've seen some online retailers (Megahaus in TX) charge sales tax if the shipping address is in the same state as them.
Ah, cost as in money, I was thinking cost as in time/effort. There is a non-commercial version of Qt for Windows available for free (as in beer) download though.
I love QT's APIs and structure under KDE, but GTK lets me port to Win32 clients without cost
You're joking, right? Qt 3 runs on Linux, Win32, and Mac OS X. Just look at Psi for an example app written to Qt on Linux that works fine on all three.
I like the helicopter flight sim demo in australia where the kangaroo AI's were modeled too closely to people. They scattered, regrouped, and launched a surface-to-air strike taking down the chopper. Sorry I don't have a link, but I did actually read it from some news site or magazine, like Info World or something.
But that's just it. Many companies are looking at the upgrade license terms & fees, and deciding that what they have is good enough. They don't lose functionality by not upgrading, they just don't get the new features
interesting. So no messing with Channels? Have you discussed this on any of the RH mailing lists? (I'd be curious if the RH folks have any comments. Did you do this from 7.3 to 8? Were there any issues with packages that were part of 7.3 but not 8.0? What about third party packages?
No, up2date does not officially do live distribution upgrades. For each release, they offer a Channel. I haven't tried it, but you may be able to subscirbe your machine to the channel for the release you want to upgrade to (unsubscribing from the channel for the installed release) and then run up2date. I have not tried this, or heard of anyone else trying it, it's just a thought I had. If someone has tried it, please post comments on the experience.
The last company I worked with had a couple of patent lawyers speak to engineers to give tips on what to suggest the company try and patent. I mentioned that exact same concept, and they flatly said it won't hold. The patent lawyers said write it down, have 2 people sign/date it, and get it notarized.
Really? Gnome's Nautilus on my Red Hat 7.3 box will browse if I type "smb:" as the location. I get a list of workgroups. Is there any possible equivalent? (Not trying to be snooty, just pointing out something I just learned)
Good thing Apple's only sueing Sorenson for licensing their patent to Macromedia despite Apple having an exclusive license (which means Sorenson agreed not to license it to anyone else).
I can't wait until I get Debian running satisfactorily...
I hope you're not struggling with Debian just over popups. Install Mozilla, go to Edit->Preferences, go to the Advanced group, select Scripts, and disable the opening of unrequested windows. No more popups.

While you have a valid point. Microsoft is the only company I've heard of who has recommended not to trust software signed by them.
I want a blamethrower.
where is the need for OC-148 to homes?
In my pants, that's where.

No, if the people at WINE (WINE Is Not An Emulator) could see all the windows APIs then they could implement them.

in Windows it closes the focused window.
Imagine the terrorists delight at a city bus carrying a huge bottle of the stuff.
Forget about that, imagine the nuclear waste being carted across the entire country to Nevada over the next 25 years.
