I realize that you are being sarcastic, but I don't think RH relies on the sales of their single-user products to make much money.
There is more money to be made in support contracts and RH enterprise products, which is why RedHat is pushing products like their RH Advanced Server.
And I say more power to them. If RedHat keeps making money, the benefits will trickle down to the rest of the OSS movement.
I'll be getting my RH9.0 via Cheapbytes without much guilt. For $12, it's cheaper to buy it through them then to wait for the damn ISOs to download, even with this fancy-dancy new protocol; and spend the time burning them onto CD, etc.
Using female pronouns is even somewhat insensitive: it implies women need to be compensated for, and gratuitously inserts a gender issue into one's writing.
In that case, considering the common usage "his" instead of "her" implies that men REALLY, REALLY need to be compensated for.
But this conversation between us doesn't cost very much (It costs our ISP something, and we pay them; but you and are working for free).
Roads are expensive, and somebody has to pay for them. Don't want to pay taxes? Fine with me, but don't use common resources that require other people to pay money to build and maintain.
Hopefully the uncensored version has since become available.
All 5 versions of the film are floating around.
It's so contraversial, that moviehouses which show Brazil usually mention *which version* they're playing, or rather, which version they are not playing ("This is NOT the made for US TV version, and contains the brilliant UK ending").
I've seen at least 3 versions, and I've probably watched Brazil 10 times or more.

Platforms and tools are not important. If you love video games and have at least 6 months experience you CANNOT miss this awesome opportunity!
Gee, 6 months to 5 years, that's quite the discrepancy. "Tools not important". I find the scattering of words like "awesome" and "hottest" pretty entertaining. With those strict requirements, I bet it pays a pretty low wage.
I'd be suspicious of this job: some things are too good to be true.

I thought Ximian had committed themselves to Gnome Office. Now I'm very happy to see their work on OpenOffice.
With all due respect to the Gnome Office people, I'd much rather that developers commit themselves to a more fully integrated, cross-platform, OSS office suite like OpenOffice.org then something that only runs a system with GTK & Linux.
Sure, Abiword is cross-platform, but Gnumeric isn't, and neither are many other components in the Gnome Office Suite.
their tax monies may end up supporting America's rather peculiar foreign excursions that could be characterized as less than constructive
Of course, if you buy Mandrake, the tax monies may end up supporting France's rather peculiar foreign excursions that could be characterized as less than constructive.
Don't get all righteous on us now, France has plenty of skeletons in it's closet, as do most governments.
Maybe we should support an Icelandic distro... Icelanders haven't invaded anyone recently...

No, I'm sure they get enough of a brainfuck in school.

the answer is The X Window System. Sweet Jebus, have you only been using Linux for a week or something?
Sweet jebus, have you ever tried running X over a
56k modem? It's slower then owl spit...
What's a faster way to run X over a slow network connection?
It's a doozy...
You forgot the fun part where Bush Sr. encouraged the Kurds to rise up against Saddam, and then stood by as Saddam crushed the revolution.
Very true, however I can print good color pictures on my Inkjet, for $149 + the $50 inkjet cartridge.
A decent color laserjet costs several thousand dollars at Office Depot.
But that said, I'm buying a laserjet as soon as I get a job. Their b&w letter quality can't be beat.

God, I haven't seen that movie in over 20 years, but I still have the "Down, down, down, down, down, down, down-de-down" song stuck in my head.
I really enjoyed it when I was a kid, and I haven't watched it again because I'm afraid it will shatter too many of my childhood memories...
I remember being utterly confused by the marshmellow-guns. I always thought the poor kids died from suffocation or something.
Oh, Scott Baio, where are you now.
Barb Wire = Cheese Whiz. God, it had almost every action movie cliche ...
At least Pamela doesn't take herself seriously... and I did sit through the whole thing at 1-3am a few weeks ago, so something has to be right...
Would probably make for a good drinking game movie.
Then where do all those federal highway funds come from?

Ah, how I wish that
Yes I know, don't complain, get off your ass and write it. I know, I know...
Yes, but do you live by your words?
Do you use the tax-funded roads and go to tax-funded schools?
If so, then you should pay for it.
Oh wait, 6 days too early!
One feature I would like to see would be some form of "talkback" a-la Mozilla.
I think Ximian agrees with you, on Slide 15, they talk about integration with Bug Buddy.
But I'm guessing that won't extend to the non-Gnome versions...
Ack, now I'm getting all confused.

Actually, I agree!
Can we mod the mods?
I admit, it's a groaner...
And with the dupes we can keep it down for weeks! :)
Well duh, this is Gnutella 2. You're supposed to post everything twice!

Ximian Desktop for single-users probably isn't a big money maker.
These days, Ximian seems to be focusing on three main products:
- The mono project, which isn't exclusivly Ximian but could give Ximian a big advantage c#/.NET arena, and incorporating Ximian Desktop
- Their RedCarpet Enterprise manager
- Evolution and other projects for some of the bigger *nix's like HP-UX and Solaris.
Those bigger contracts are probably the only thing keeping Ximian alive at the moment.
I hope they get a stable & mature 9.x release out by the end of the year, like 9.1 or 9.2, before the EOL cycle for 7.x systems.
My 7.3 system is pretty mature. Moving from a well-patched x.3 system to a immature x.0 system seems like a potential can of worms.
Personally, I prefer Emacs, because VI doesn't have enough features.
Actually, wait, I prefer Gnome, because I dislike KDE's philosophy in duplicating technologoies that already exist, but in the "KDE" style...
Enterprise vs. the Battlestar Galactica? Enterprise, baby! Battlestars always catch on fire, as if they were made of rice-paper.
No wait, wait... this is about shells. Gosh, I've never used a shell. What is it?
