He's talking about LSD production, not where it was invented. Although I noticed lately that every time I here about LSD, I start to get that kinda way off feeling again. To much trippin' in the old days I guess. The old days meaning the late 70's. Yep, I'm <i>that</i> old.

I quesss I really don't see AOL/TW buying Redhat as a bad thing. One major this is, it signifies a coming of age for Linux. This can only be a good thing, in the long run.

An Americans take on punter; dumb-ass, dope, idiot, moron, senator. Any Brits out there? I'm probably wrong.
Now to the on-topic bit. Fasttrack updated everyone during the authentication process. Although I can't wait for a Morpheus client for Linux, especially if it also ties into the gnutella stuff.
Maybe a center position can be reached here. Let's face it, universities need funding, be it from government or the private sector. If a license was used that allowed non-commercial use of code, but forced a company to pay a fee for it's use in a commercial project, makes the most sense to me. The university benefits, due to selling it's software. Business benefits, due to getting great software for further development/exploitation. We benefit, because we get to use the same stuff for our projects. Cool, eh?
Actually, the main reason companies use MS software nowadays is the fact that it's heavily entrenched. Not cheaper, in fact mostly more expensive every year. What sucks is the "developers" around here that think that Visual Interdev is the cat's ass. Yikes!
Politician dude, sell Open Source on it's cost. Make a plan. Stick to it. Consider talking about security. Tell the masses they really don't want Joe Hacker cozying up to their harddrives like a dog eating shit. Don't try to scare them though. Linux using X is incredibly easy to use. Good luck!
How the hell is the very first post in redundant? Stupid fscking moderators. When you pull your head out of your ass, you'll see that I was simply writing about my appreciation for what Walnut Creek has done over the years for FreeBSD. Learn how to read, will ya?
OK, breathe deeply. Let it out. aaaaaahhhhhhhhh. The sound of many happy users. I'm very glad FreeBSD is returning to Walnut Creek. That's where it simply belongs.
Ya know, I've been thinking somewhat along those lines. Scares the hell out of me. Unfortunately, I uspect the spooks and generals will nuke the shit out of COAS before they would allow them to have a real superiority edge on us. All the while, of course, still clinging to the idiotic idea that a proprietary, closed, single source shitbag of an poor excuse for what some people claim to be an operating system.
The worst part? As I write this, I'm install Win98SE into VMWare, just so I can get the binaries for RTCW, Tribes 2, and QuakeIII. FSCKING Winblows. . .
I suspect that MS is embarrassed by the ongoing trial, along with all of the bad press lately. Maybe they think they can get back at the media by making it so they can't get to the court info. Frnkly, M$ could drop off of the face of the earth right now, and I couldn't be happier.
BITE YOUR TONGUE!!!!! The day I can't get replacement tubes for my Marshall is the day I quit playing guitar. I've tried solid state amps and even the TubeWorks Mosfet amp is nowhere the texture and feel of a real tube amp.
We cry and laugh and go on about how hard it was to get everything loaded below 640k so our beloved games would start. Or stuff like hacking 16mhz 386's to bit just so we could put EIGHT MEG of ram on board. I remember at my first drafting/arhitect job I was given the "high-end" machine, because I knew Autocad 9 so well. The high end machine? A 16mhz 386 with a 2mb Evans & Sutherland video card. It had a seperate frame buffer to support a drawing only screen for Acad. Way cool. It was nice to be able to load a 1meg house.dwg and be able to go smoke a cigarette in time to come back to the house finishing loading.
Hey that's not fair! My boss told me to toe the line and support Microshit^H^H^Hoft or get fired. Well, maybe miss lunch. Or... Or... Have to put Win 2k on my PC. Yea, that's it.
My god are you old. I'm 42 and I vaguely remember Jack Kennedy.
To stay on topic, but probably redundant, I'd say that M$ having it's employees "vote" in a poll and getting caught is a real good black eye for them. Let's hope they do it more often!
What's the difference between a Data CD blank and a Music CD blank? Hmmmmm, let's see . . . None? If you're paying a different price for one or the other because of a simple label, you're getting hosed. OTOH, I might be completely off the deep end here.
Bzzzzt. Java already is doing that. Been doing that. Will continue to do that. Why does everybody need to be tied into a proprietary system like.net? We've been developing in Java for years now. It's geting pretty mature. If you would take the time to actually learn what you're doing instead of being a M$ clone, you'd probably understand. Frankly, I think Miguel is just trying to make a living, can't fault anyone for that.
Seriously, do we need to buy into M$'s crap and develop code to work with.net? I'm not seeing any good reasons to spend a bunch of time figuring out their framework, only to be subsumed by the evil empire. I think Miguel has done soon way cool stuff (see Gnome), I'm just confused by this need to write Mono. Doesn't it sound like he's trying to invent the Unix version of the Windows API?
Please mod parent up. I totally agree with the author. I was the group,leader of the alternate OS section of our latest enterprise architecture review commitee, and frankly couldn't recomennd Linux as a good alt desktop for us. The main reasons are above. Yes, we can basically create our own distro and deploy it, we simply don't have to resources to do that. I'm really bummed that it was decided to go with Win XP. Major barfage that one...
One point here, Compaq still supports Alpha, they're just phasing it out in favor of Itanium. We run Tru64 on Alpha's here for all of our enterprise level computing. Stuff like Oracle and other demented products. I'm _really_ trying to get management to let me even test Linux on x85, I'd love to run Linux on Alpha.
Dude, I'm with ya. I plan on putting up an omni-directional antenna on my roof and pumping 802.11b through it. If all the geeks in the US (well, OK, the world) did this, we could build kind of our own freenet. I think I've read articles about this phenom, along with people starting wireless ISP's.
Arrrrgggggh. That's pretty horriden. To the "Unknown Bovine Group" clown above, why don't you suck my hemmoroiden. I'll fscking talk^H^H^H^H type however the hell I want to.

I was going to reply with something about how you're total gayness if obvious to everybody, but I decided not to stoop to that level. So, fuck you.

Please don't dis my awesome powers of textual persuasion! grin

Here, here. Although I cheat and use stuff like Macromedia UltraDev with PHAKT extensions. I love my PHP.

Don't forget M$ Siteserver 3.0, Oracle 9iAS, Novell eDirectory, and others I seem to have forgotten.
Thank you, ZeroCool. I wasn't aware of NewsOne. Good interface, fast. Me likey.
