Plagerism is detected at once or not at all. this smells like BS to me. It is not like it was published in a journal for peer revue. If this guy did plagerize why did the prof take 3 years to figure it out?
Hey, here is three years worth of sppeding tickets, pay up or lose you license. Ok, good, thanks for the cash, btw, give me your licence. i would say he has a point IMHO
Google Zeitgeist? Puh-lease. Yeah, a fine tool that reports that the "Other" operating systems add up to as many as Linux, Apple, and Win 95 Combined. And 50% of the hits were from Win XP Boxes, yeah. Half of the queries were in English, and look to thier top ten lists for items queried...about half of them are for things your average teenager is looking for. So you have two options here.
Either it is miscounting the number of hits by OS's or
It is doing just fine, in which case I would say that it is American Teenagers, using the computers that thier folks bought them from Best Buy to slam the servers of google everytime the wind blows out the next "in" thing.
Your choice of what you want to believe but I think that I will care what zeitgeist has to say when while they are reporting at a 1% level, with what is obviously a margin of error of about 4% ( I won't believe 5% "other" OS's) and when it doesn't add up to the old saying "There are lies, Damn lies, and statistics."
Speaking of which - here is a quote for you
The free operating system makes up 2.7 percent of new desktop operating system licenses sold today, a figure expected to reach 6 percent by 2007, according to IDC figures. That will still leave Windows with 90 percent of the market.

I read somewhere above you that the linux community was somewhat composed of male chauvinist.
What does this have to do with it? I don't care if she is animal, vegetable or mineral. Her gender has nothing to do with my opinion of her as an educator
just the same way linux users are seen now - as freaks.
No, not really, if you are seeing this I am sorry for you.

This is why the free except for commercial use thing works so well.. I LOVE that thing. It allows me, a hobbiest to try something out, come back to it 4 months later, and keep at it. Do the PS people really care that I am getting the red-eye out of grandma or making an animated blob for my website? I would hope not. I would hope that they are looking at thier real users to get some income. Sadly this reminds me of Disney going after daycares for showing thier movies. It is not a revenue stream, get over it. (sorry for the rant in reply to your post)
Radeon support is not there and anyone who uses linux video acceleration knows this. Reflecting on my people skills is a nice segue but really shows your "skills" as well, it shows my opinion, no more. I told about my impression of her based on her Lockergnome columns... like I said - I was underwhelmed. It seemed to be the writings of someone that was far to busy to write or edit a serious newsletter. As I remember her tenure was short, her legacy not that great. If you didn't get the "unkind" part of my post perhaps I was too obtuse, or you humor impared due to your closeness to her. None the less you have taken an opinion and manifested it as a personal issue.
I first read her as a Lockergnome Linux newsletter subscriber. Let us be kind here and say that I was underwhelmed by her knowledge of linux. To not be kind - there is a reason she wrote Linux for Dummies
Oh and I'm French and I'm living in the US so I'm ready to be modded down and insulted.
Oh, you must be new here. Insulting the Bush administration, or supporting those that do it for you, with facts no matter how shoddy, is the best way on Slashdot to get modded up and perhaps even worshipped as deity.
Perhaps you missed the part about "freedom toast" and "freedom fries" that your Bush loving bretherin made happen a while back. The Anti-French work of the Bush league conservatives has been rampant. What the poster was worried about was the frightenng anti-French stance of your Appointed President.
I know the Neo-Cons dont need the Worlds opinion, but surprisingly, the rest of the world does.
How about appending "pirate" to it - it seems to be all the rage these days. Computer Pirate, Network Pirate, LAN Pirate, etc. Plus for this school instead of a cap and gown you could get to wear a cool hat, eyepatch, and the valedictorian would get a parrot.
Dont know why you got modded up - You Sir are the Linux troll that everyone knows is keeping us out of the desktop. BigBrotherWare?? you obviously have never admined a network. You want to plug random virii/trojan/spyware into my network....my rules. Let me restate that...My network, my rules....dont like it....hey dial-up is $9/month Oh, and when you cracjk out the "But my fees pay for this!!" crap, your fees also pay for the campus Dems, Repubs, GBLT broup, as well as ecco terrorists. Get over it.
If all you are useing the net for is uploading your papers and downloading assignments...dial up rox. UH? You have other uses for the net? Oh, well then dial up sux, and no, you cant run kazaa on the network - yeesh grow up
And I wish the Canadians would stop. Damn war-like canadians. First they invade the US (years ago, but the wound is still fresh) then they start this carp. Next thing you know they are going to want thier own culture fer chrissakes. Problem is the Canadian military gets almost 65% of thier GNP - and who can fight those numbers? Let alone the million men, women, beavers, and moose that that kind of money supplies. I myself have been stip searched and handed over to an otter for a plaything at a border crossing - twice. Yep, them warmongering, over funded, canadian moose death squads - a scourge on the planet.
I know of a game that involves a pod race through my arm pit hair, it sucks. But I think everyone that is a gamer should try it out, just to see how bad it really does blow.
Spent a weekend in the house of a mil contractor, he asked if i could drive a truck - I said yes. He asked if I would like $250,000 tax free income, yes. He laughed, he said he liked me too much to give me a job. Be forewarned.
I was one of the first "unique and talented" kids in the program started in the country. They tracked us for years afterward. Originally they took IQ tests (yeah, they are all flawed gimme a break, I was 10 at the time) and sorted us into groups. My parents and me were called in so that they could tell us that I was as smart as Edison, or maybe even Einstein. I was just smart enough to know what that meant (circular - heh) I grew up, did all the normal kid stuff, got plenly of "F"'s while teachers told me "ST, you know the material better than anyone, but you didn't turn in the paper" Why would I? It was elementary stuff. I did well in High school, had a lot of friends, wasn't a "nerd" by any stretch. But, I was always different - always odd. Years later - I looked into the study that I was part of...they had lost track of me years ago - but thier remaining people fit into three categories. Much to my shock - I fit the bill of one of them to a "T"... very weird - sorry for the ramble but here is the point - Sir, you will only find happiness if you can find a job that needs an expert Generalist, sounds odd, but there are a few out there, think advisor to the King types. Your trials( I assume you are much younger than I) are just starting. I post this AC - but if I can be of help respond to this and I will hellp you as much as I can.

this Morphix mod is what I am looking at to mod for our web registration kiosks.
