In the latest issue Dr. Dobbs (you get a free subscription if you attend LinuxWorldConf), they had a pullout job application. It was in the style of an SAT test and was filled with such "oh we're so smart and clever and funny and funky funky fresh" questions such as "write a haiku on database caching" and "the box below is empty. fill it with something" and other questions where any of the questions could be considered correct.
It was really annoying. It didn't make me want to work there at all. It was like a "oh we're so smart mensa+masturbating club".
Yes, I know that anyone can fork a project. But there is an inertia that keeps projects from forking. If you employ the majority of the developers on a project, you can guide that project as you like.
How about doing a non-biased study that doesn't make assumptions about the end results? Isn't this what everyone critizes MS for? It sounds like you would twist whatever statistics you got into something that sounds good for linux.
The early versions of Visual C++, all the way up to version 6, I think, were extremely non-compliant with the C++ spec. Books on C++ techniques at the time had appendixes on workarounds just for Visual C++'s compiler.
I certainly wouldn't want to implement a C++ compiler, and I hear that Visual C++ has gotten better in regards to the spec, but that's how it was.
This is very true. I went straight from the Mac to Linux 5 years ago. I've never looked back. It probably helped that I'm a very knowledgable computer guy though (majored in CS).
We have a computer lab with about 50 computers and about 500 users. I've found 10.2 Server to be great. 10.0 was rough to work with, but 10.1 and up have been easy to work with.
The Workgroup Manager program can be a bit tricky with setting up shares and network mounts, but overall is a good program.
The DHCP doesn't work in an environment when you have few spare IPs and the machines are restarted constantly.
I like that it includes PHP and MySQL, but you might want to compile your own PHP with support for more libraries such as PNG and zlib and stuff. The provided one is a bit sparse.
Overall, it's fairly painless to work with if you have the foresight to setup user policies and stick to them. It's nicely cross platform with NFS support; I wouldn't be hesitant to use it in a Unix only environment.
I dragged the Applications folder into the dock. When I click and hold on the icon in the doc, it opens a menu, just like the start up menu in windows or gnome.
A cancel/save button? if you don't like the value, just change it back. Makes sense to me.
It would be fairly easy to extend Jack to work on video. It would just require someone writing a new data type.
I don't know what the basic data type of video work is. In audio, it's unsigned long numbers. LADSPA works on those. If someone changed it to work on whatever video uses, then LADSPA could be used too. Someone would have to get the video editors to support Jack and LADSPA though.
Ardour doesn't support video yet. It does has a feature to support animatics, which is almost video, but not what you're thinking of.
If you read the article, you would see that both creators of the AT command set made a lot of money. One is still rich, and the other lost his fortune.
The writeup made it sound as if the NY Times article was about upset retailers mad at google when really they're upset at the company that was tricking the search results.
Oh no! The INTERWEB is letting people act in the same replusive manners they always have! Lock up your children! But not in the room with the computer!!

They would be buying Novell's UNIX copyrights.
They would also get Ximian, which controls Mono and Evolution.
Keep in mind that Sun are already big gnome contributors.
And of course, Suse.
This is just the first of the hard cuts that will have to happen to have social security for the baby boomers as they start to retire.
It's a shame this matter isn't being seriously addressed this election.

The latest joelonsoftware column discusses why it's not in Microsoft's interest to update IE.
Actually, I constantly see essays in the Village Voice about how Cuba and China squash dissidents.
But SMTP already allows anyone and their grandmother to add new header fields. Keeping that feature is good for change and innovation.
Yes, I had this happen to me when I installed Fedora2test3. Luckily, I don't use windows for anything too important.
Wouldn't the biggest problem be the shorted battery life?
Haha. You almost got me! There was no linked article! You card!
Why was this modded funny? Seems like good advice, actually.

It just means some programmers will lose touch with programing.
Which would be pretty terrible, in my opinion.

To open a new finder window, do control-n. Bam!

Um, fedora??
Nice work. I think I might pick up this book.
Agreed. They also sync up with many of the open source projects out there. A fairly recent version of perl, openbsd, gcc, and others I'm sure.
There's no conflict. Atheism is a religion just like the null string ("") is a string. :)
