Don't wanna waste the power you've got in all those desktop systems? Set 'em up as an OpenMOSIX cluster. And dude... never give your users root access.
WinXP has terminal services. Only one user at a time, but unlike the 2000 terminal server, it supports more than 256 colors. I'd also recommend grdesktop and rdesktop as clients (grdesktop is a gui for rdesktop) on the Linux side. Terminal services is much better than VNC.
RMS is definately a little out there- I'll give you that. I understand where you're coming from with management. What management will eventually have to realise is that using open source (and getting that freedom) saves money- not just because one doesn't pay licensing fees. Simply by being open source, a program is totally extensible and customizable. They also don't have EOL programs- when someone stops developing a program, anyone can continue with it. Proprietary software's hidden cost isn't in the initial licensing fees- it's in the pure restrictiveness. Management will have to realize that eventually.
I apologize- initially, you appeared to be some punk who didn't realize what free software really is.
You *obviously* don't understand. Linux isn't that type of free. The free in the "free argument" is in the freedom to... aww hell, just read anything RMS has written- enlighten yourself!
Hanging out is kind of important for a good place like that... just do like movie theaters and don't allow outside food and drink. That also brings up an issue: smoking. Allow or disallow? Seperate section? I say no smoking, but I don't smoke.
Same shit, different location.
I just graduated HS. I'm thinking I want to do a combined CS and CE (or EE) or CE (or EE) with a CS minor. Either way, I don't want just a BS in CS, and I don't know about an MS. Any suggestions?
We are still arguing about a simple communication issue because we are both stubborn and both have to have the last word. And just to clarify, my only objection to your original post is that I thought you meant the poster _definately_ didn't have a physiological issue, since you didn't use the word "probably." We seem to agree about pretty much everything else, however. I'm a little suprised neither of us have been been modded down for "off topic." This was really supposed to be about alarm clocks- although that does put us back at the beginning again, doesn't it?
I don't care about any possible offensiveness. You just make too many assumptions. When someone tells you they have the main symptom of a disorder or syndrome, you don't tell them that they don't have it! That's just plain stupid!
Bull. You weren't even aware that that was possible before this. If you had, your original post would have allowed for it. You basically said that there was no way his clock is >24hrs, which is wrong. It is a possibility, and a strong one at that. Generally, I prefer to believe people when they tell me what medical conditions they have. I don't know them, after all.
He said in the post that his clock runs more than 24hrs! You disputed that, and you were wrong! If his clock is greater than 24hrs by a significant amount (and it sounds like it is) there's a good chance he has DSPS. And we definately were talking about sleep disorders. All of the posts off your original have been about sleep disorders! I'd call that talking about sleep disorders. Have you been reading this, or just responding to key words in my responses?
All true... but we've been talking about sleep disorders. I don't have to qualify my statements because they are in the context of a sleep disorders discussion.
I never said that teenagers run on 26 hour cycles. I said that I do. Normal teenagers' cycles are less than that. I'm unsure about the number. Most teenagers have trouble getting up in the morning- and it's not always because they were out (or in, for the/. crowd) late the night before.
Getting more sleep _does_ help. Just going to bed earlier does _not_ help, however, and can be counter-productive. For people with DSPS, going to bed early means lying in bed awake for sometime. It doesn't mean getting more sleep. Furthermore, lying in bed awake is a bad "habit" for the brain to "learn" as it makes it harder to fall asleep in the future.
You're right- there is something wrong. And steps need to be taken to address the problem. Merely going to bed earlier, as you suggest, however, does _not_ help. Yeah, damaging one's hearing is not the solution either, but that's not what Cliff is suggesting, since I think you missed the exaggeration.
What's this shit about not solving the problem, anyway? Finding the cause of the problem is the first step in solving it! Through my diagnosis, I was able to learn about it, and my sleeping is now under control. It's still not easy, and I still require a loud alarm clock, but there are steps one can take to control it.
BTW, for anyone who may find it useful, there is a book called "No More Sleepless Nights" by Peter Hauri and Shirley Linde. I found it to be very informative and useful. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/deta il/-/0471 149047/qid=1073366021/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-903798 1-1773617?v=glance&s=books
Why do you say that (s)he doesn't have a >24hr natural sleep cycle? It's well documented that younger people (such as teenagers) have a >24hr sleep cycle, and that as one grows older that cycle time tends to decrease. As a result, the elderly frequently have a cycle time less than 24hrs, causing them to wake early, and go to bed early (thus the early dinner.)
In more extreme situations (possibly such as this one) the sleeper may have DSPS (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome) in which the circadian clock (which governs sleep) works on more than 24hrs by a signifigant amount. Cases of 30 or more hours have been documented. I, myself, have DSPS, albeight not major at only around 26 hours.
I've used Gnomemeeting with this. Works great with my webcam. I also bought a webcam for my g/f when she moved away some time ago... It was well worth it.

Just use SSH + X, and get an X server for windows. X-Win is OK, but it's not free. Cygwin/X is not as good, but it's free and based on XFree86.
I'm betting he's got a dick bigger than 1/2"... Much unlike you are sounding to have.
Was the best? Is the best. Count Zero is also a good one.
One of these would be kinda cool, but I only use ergonomic keyboards. Has any one ever seen a glowing ergonimic keyboard?
Oops.. wrong window. Sorry.

This is a /. guy we're talking about here.... many of us don't get girls that often.... Odds are, he's one of us.

Actually, Halo PC is better in my opinion. Easier to play with a mouse.

I don't get it... Don't they make PDAs powered by Linux... and don't they make math programs for Unix....? What's the problem?
