Yeah but SOME professors actually bother with practical hands on coding along with the theory. Not to mention there are more classes in a college or university than CS which use computers!
Having windows on the desktop in schools where people often start becoming familiar with a computer for the first time definately shifts things as much as preinstalls.
until they can afford to buy their own equiptment of course.
Really though, most of the backup can be synth'd too... poetic lyrics are on the level of what an average poet could come up and there are tens of thousands of those.
Music as anything but a hobby is just about obsolete. The money which used to go to the musicians can now go to computer tech's... I really don't see how any unbiased individual could find this to be a bad thing (musicians are the biased ones, they don't count).
A few jobs are lost and many are created. One more thing in life is properly in the control of the geeks who shall soon dominate the earth... as they should.
Different is great. But there is nothing wrong with digital enchancement or even outright digitally generated music being faked by a musician. I don't care if it's a computer or a person, I care how it sounds... that is after all what music is about. The computer can alter the sound from one performance to the next if we want different... I really don't see why we even need the musicians to be honest.
IBM has voice cloning apps. Musicians with real talent should sit down and speak into a mic for a few hours and then they would be obsolete (instruments can be synth'd nowdays as well as the real thing, and no I don't mean by equiptment anybody has sitting at home.)
get rid of windows, problem solved. Performance is a tad better using the REAL java runtime from sun though as opposed to the microsoft bastardized version.
yeah and I know recorders who believe their is a difference in sound when they transfer digital data over copper vs fiber. It's digital, it's 1's and 0's with error correction that finishes transmission without any change in content whatsoever of either medium. But try to explain that to them...
We are talking about a superstitious lot here, reality doesn't back their beliefs.
Actually I suspect it's because it makes good business sense AND because it pisses microsoft off.
Microsoft has given SCO a ram up the arse on every business relationship they've ever had. I don't mean beating them in the market... NT didn't beat out OS/2 NT WAS OS/2! The system was developed by both and at some point MS took everything they could and skipped town.
That would all be well and good IF aol were a monopoly...but they aren't. They are not in the position microsoft is in, or has been in for the past 10 yrs or so. Microsoft was a monopoly long before it integrated IE into the OS. What they did with IE would have been ok if they weren't a monopoly.
"Hmmmm a balanced buget, no wars, no terrorists as "friends" (Osama IS a friend of Bush) No Enron scams, No Lies about WMD's, No Energy Paper Scams, Halliburton, Broken International treaties, Human rights violations, Geneva convention violations, attemped assassinations of world leaders, Patriot acts etc. And they tried to impeach Clinton! If Clinton had lied on the State of the Union address what kind of noise would have resulted from congress?"
Aside from a "balanced budget" that lead to too many taxes being collected and a surplus (a balanced budget would result in no debt or surplass actually) NONE of that has anything to do with the economy.
hmm lack of wars is actually an argument against clinton in terms of economy... war is GREAT for the economy. In fact nothing short of war pulled us out of the great depression. True that was a massive scale world war, but we aren't facing any economic pressures that begin to compete with the great depression, and thus we don't need wars to compete with the WW2 to pull us out of it;)
The DMCA is as bad or worse than the patriot act, the progression of technology and advancement of learning definately trumps simple privacy issues 99% of the time.
"No Lies about WMD's"
gee, I thought lying about selling icbm technology to chinese would count as lying.
"No Enron scams"
Cough, watergate, cough
"No Energy Paper Scams, Halliburton, Broken International treaties, Human rights violations, Geneva convention violations, attemped assassinations of world leaders"
He brought us hilary, need I say more?
As for clinton getting laid... well it's true he did get laid. But damn... the most powerful man in the world and the best piece of ass the man can score is Monica lewinsky!!??? Jesus Christ, JFK and his brother banged marilyn monroe and people cheered... you get caught nailing something like monica lewinsky and should expect public outcry, that's just making us all look bad there.
Even if suing were the right patch and justifiable. It's the customer and not some 3rd party that would have the right. The person sending the mail to aol's server has ZERO right or even justification for thier expectation that it be recieved... the aol customer who is not getting their mail at least has a right to bitch to aol.
The CUSTOMERS would have a right to complain, the businesses (unless they are the customers) have no right to demand anything of AOL. AOL's only obligation is to it's customers. The customer's have the power to express their will whether aol likes it or not, the customers have the power to find another ISP.
As much as I hate AOL. Those are their servers, they should have the right to block them because the CEO wore unmatching socks if they so choose. Customers are free to go to another ISP if AOL is blocking them from recieving mail they want, or the customers might be entitled to sue AOL for the loss of service (doubt it).
But certainly 3rd parties have no right to sue simply because AOL doesn't accept connections from them! Can I now sue aol if they put up a firewall and block ports I could connect to?
It's not like aol is a monopoly like microsoft. I've known people on AOL, but not even 1% of those whose internet connections I've encountered (and as an onsite service tech that is ALOT of connections) run aol. Aim maybe, but not the actual internet service.
They also have no right to tell AOL what it does and does not have to accept on it's servers. Next spyware companies will be trying to sue for firewalling off the ports they use to phone home!
Has it ever occured to you that filtering out the virus mails from the outgoing mail MIGHT be the answer instead of coming on slashdot and bitching about aol?
There are plenty of things to bitch about, but until you start filtering the worm EVERY server should be blocking you.
If you run a *nix server, there are very flexible cookie cutter filters out there that will do the trick.
If you run a windows server why are you calling aol customers the victims... it sounds like your customers are the victims here;) Solution, install a *nix mail server and use said flexible tools above.
Groupware, directory services, and file/print sharing. Those are the only things I've seen netware used for. For the most part the file/print servers are definately legacy systems. Most of those using netware I've seen that are actually up to date those who are tied into directory services and heavily rely on them (mostly schools).

Novell is porting groupwise to linux entirely. the win32 tools part will be obsolete soon enough.
AFAIK (could be wrong) although there are export tools for ADS the resulting files will only successfully import back into ADS
*holster's his guns" fair enough ;)

pretty much all computer viruses are weakened versions.

Actually SCO has been down for a week or two... they could be down for the rest of SCO's existance.
Interesting... I really don't see how a modeling language can be compared to an operating system though?
:)
In any case, thanks for the info
No windows server of ANY kind can be locked down unless put behind a 3rd party firewall. Stick it up on the web, running NO services.
umm
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
personally I find typing two short commands to be faster and easier than opening a browser typing the url, going to the site, letting it scan, etc.
manually applying individual patches requires two lines on *nix, it requires even more hassle than windowsupdate on windows.
lazy means wanting the easiest way if you know what you are doing. An admin has no business admining a mail server if he doesn't know what he's doing.
That would all be well and good IF aol were a monopoly.. .but they aren't. They are not in the position microsoft is in, or has been in for the past 10 yrs or so. Microsoft was a monopoly long before it integrated IE into the OS. What they did with IE would have been ok if they weren't a monopoly.
The stock market is NOT the economy.
If someone is contemplating how moral cheating in solo player games is, then perhaps societies moral fabric could definately use a lil fraying...

Not really, aol lets the real spammers buy their way in.
