Some young E-3 working in military IT will try fix someone's Office installs using just 1 cd all over his/her part of the base and the military will be instantaneously liable for piracy.
OK, I wasn't flaming you. A little testy perhaps, but that should be expected given your comment especially on Slashdot where articles about the world class supercomputer Apple built are common.
As far as what Macs can do, try looking at the reviews on OSnews to start. I just bought a 15.2" Powerbook 1.25ghz w/ a gig of RAM. Its fast, very quiet, and everything just works. I have over 2 weeks of uptime on it and I take it to work daily.
The total cost of ownership deal comes from the fact that most software you'd pay for w/ Windows is already there on a Mac or you can run an Open Source equivalent on a Mac as well. Plus the gigahertz race just isn't there on a Mac. These things are still fast 2 or 3 years later. You'll find people happily running on a 500mhz Mac right now. Add to that a user friendly BSD based OS, the best hardware in the world, and you'll be pretty happy. If you're in the market for a laptop, the G4 iBooks are a pretty good deal.
Macs don't cost too much once you look at the total cost of ownership. You might try learning about what you're talking about. Someone else already addressed your servers comment.
Yeah, I know. I've got karma to burn and Taco sometimes needs a wake up call. It isn't like this hasn't been ALL OVER THE NEWS SINCE LAST WEEK or anything. You would think any Linux user would know by now.
Do you try to stay up with the SCO situation? RTFA, editor! CA is pissed that anyone even assumes they caved into SCO's demands.
Throw in Michaels antics and stuff like this and your surprised there's not that many subscribers?
I thought that the world had already realized that wasn't Linux supporter but more than likely spammers?
Guess since it's a local paper, they're fawning over Darl.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
I'm curious to know if this is one of those "only option available" or if these guys are providing real competition.
I like the thought of broadband providers competing for my business...
"So basically this proves that Linux is just as insecure as Windows is."
OK, let's compare patch release times for Windows versus Linux. As far as OpenBSD, it IS one of the most secure OSs' in the world but it still has its vulnerabilities and a couple as of late.
I would still run OpenBSD in a security sensitive situation. I find it easier to lock down than anything else.
Slashdot Mirror
for the American military bashing on Slashdot. Now when are the European militaries going to do this>
OK, and the AF is running 2003? And has site licenses for that? I know the Marine Corps sure doesn't.

Dude, listen to the song. It's just a funny quote.
"from the sound of one hand posting stories-dept"
Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years.
I'd say .mob would be better but this guy might already own it.
listen to Fench music? Do the French?
This worked for me.
apt-get -t unstable install kdebase

It's been released!

I'll subscribe when Michael leaves.
Dude, do a little research. CA denounced SCO. The title and article are misleading. Taco can't be bothered to know what he's posting.

Hopefully, there's a barber nearby.

Here's another vote for iTunes. Or install Linux/BSD and try Rhythmbox.
Remember when Real made all of those press releases about Helix and releasing it as Open Source?
Neither do I, really. Don't think anybody cares.
So basically both the patients and the doctor get screwed and the lawyers come out on top.
time to go hock my neighbor's jewelry at EB!
