Stictly speaking you are correct. I did not mean to state it as fact. However, Even after a study you can not make the mistake of assuming cause. Remeber that correlation does not imply causation. However, there are some topics that do not need to be resached in order to determine facts. I do not need to put my hand through a cubicle wall to know that the action would result in pain. I do not need to do a study to see if people would like being mugged. I really think that bad technology causes stress. I have witnessed many examples of this being the case ( used to work as tech support). So just like a study about cubicle punching is not neccisary, I wouldn't think that a survey looking at bad technology causing stress would be a worthwile one to fund. However, one that measured the difference in stress leves between users of good technology and bad technology would be worth funding. Along with one examinging productivity differnces between stressed and unstressed workers, it might be used as a vaulable tool in understanding the value of Good technology.
Unlike Open BSD, Windows Installs many obscure features into the the default install of the desktop. So although it wasn't a bug in the kernel, it was in Ie or windows messaging or RPS or something else. I sort of prefer the OpenBSD idea that the end user has to decide what to put on their computer besides the shell and basic utilities.
There is probably a correlation between technology and stress. However, it is not so simple. A more thourough investigation would lead to the conclusion that BAD technology is corelated to stress. It just sof happens that a lot of the technology people encounter in the workplace is not very good ( custom inhouse vb/java applications that serve the buisness need, but have horrible interfaces. riddled with bugs).
Wouldn't it be nice if someone here were to engage in a groklaw like effort of documenting the cases in which an exploit occured before the patch. That would be the mature approach. Who knows, maybe he's right.
I was going to Patent my own cubicle intrustion detection system! I could have made millions! Oh, wait. I live in the US. The existance of well documented prior art is no hindrence on these shores!
In this particular instance I agree with Linus. However, it is very annoying that whenever there is an argument some one always posts Linus' opinion and presents it as THE ANSWER. He's just one famous nerd. Nothing more. You know what the buddists say.. If you meet Buddha waking down the road Kill Him. He will only be a distraction on your road to enlightement.
Come on, a show of hands of all those whose learning-by-experience includes a few good late night sessions of try to fix, break, try to fix again, break even worse, before you finally figure it out. I sure wouldn't risk doing that with a car.)
I certainly would go as far as I do with a computer.
Read everything possible on the problem.
Determine what needs to be checked to diagnose the problem.
Determine if you have the tools to diagnose, if not, don't touch anything get a pro
Diagnose the problem
Figure out if you have the tools availible to fix the problem. If not, borrow them from a friend or get a pro
Attempt to Fix it
Working on cars isn't difficult, if you have the right tools. And usually the older the car is, the easier it is to fix.
The major design principle of the original nt kernel was crossplatform abilities. They used to sell Nt on alpha, and now the sell 2003 on itanium. They could easily make a version to frun on other archs, but there isn't a really good reason to....Except perhaps the xbox 2.
But it was fun with satalite to use the reception as a weather predictor. It didn't go out every time it rained or snowed, only 5-7 minutes before a big thunderstorm or blizzard. So it gave me enough warning to check my car windows. Insight cable is just now starting to offer some channels that I loved on satalite, but I think this is more due to the historical reasons in my area (rockford, IL).
There are many other nuclei that can take the shape of a torous ( doughnut shaped). I accordance witht he uncertianty principle you can only predict a probobility of the shape, jsut like electron orbitals.
There is nothing in the GPL that says it can't be used to violate humman rights. So the oss comunity could be jsut as guilty. Think about Red flag linux. Its used offically by the Chinese gov, who is guilty of numerous humman rights violations. So.. Is this a good law, or should a clause be added to the gpl?
Someone should ask him if any one from the apache Nation has ever contacted them. Are they aware of the product? Do they aprove or disprove of the use of the name? I understnad the historical reason for naming in "a patchy server", but still they should have been consulted. I'm not trying to be a PC Enforcer, but considering that we've pretty much stolen everything they've ever had, it would be nice to avoid using their name in a way they didn't apporve of.
I'm not sure what you are smoking, but NT 3.51 sucked eggs. Even with 80 megs of memory( hey it was released circa 94), it had major stability issues running any program. After our university replaced OS2 with NT 3.51, the tech support calls quadrupled. Like most operating systems (except win 9x which ended in the disaster known as ME) Nt has become more stable with each release.
I lived in Grand Haven for a summer. It was fun being so close to the lake, but the whole area does lack many of todays modern conviences. Plus, because it is a tourist spot the prices are jacked up pretty high ($1 12 oz coke vending machines back in 93). Poor Taco. My advice would be to learn try it, its most likely not going to be worse than 56 k.
Maybe you should see if you can arange something with Hope College. You could be an honorary something or another and recieve free broadband some how. Ok details aren't quit there, but you know and stuff. Mind numb from high speed inter- thingy access.
Well, I haven't actually started, but I would imagine that starting off with open solutions would be much more benifical to the country. If we can get he money for cpmputers, I think I'll have to put linux on them. Any recomendations for linux distros that run well on older hardware? And I do mean older( 386- pentium) hardware. I would like to run some sort of a gui on them.
Open office isn't technicly "sold" to anyone. Star office on the other had is distributed by Sun. A nice, large target that is already despised by Redmond. But, Microsoft claims that it only patents things defensively. So it would never sue anyone else for patent infringment. At least not until their sales start to tank.

Will the inclusion of A default Scanner kill Norton and Mcaffee? I think they are now sitting ducks. why buy what comes free with your new computer?
Eminem is just a front of the Illuminati. However, as you point out the Illuminati is just a front for Eminem.

I never got a response on either any service. Maybe it was the job market, but after responding to the first local wanted ad I had a job.
You don't drink wine, do you? Its VERY easy to screw up wine. If they really wanted a challenge they should try vodka. Very difficult to screw up.
Ms Sold their shares a while back. Hasn't helped market share.
You mean like JFK Jr?
True. I was thinking in terms of accessability to parts. Plus newer cars have crazy parts that require crazy specialiazed tools to remove them.
I certainly would go as far as I do with a computer.

If you make Spam a crime, then only criminals will have Spam. And that would be a tragedy that our fragile repulic could ill withstand.

Cheaper more channels with Sattalite
Better quality with digital cable.

Just pointing out.that you can do exactly that with win xp. What don't believe me? ok, take a look at This
