    Well, I get my suits tailored and can say for sure that there is far better quality in a tailored suit than an over-the-counter one.

    Well, the public domain is owned by the public, it can be seen by all, openly scrutinised, is inherintly more secure etc. Good job.

    The IP is an interesting issue. Once released into the public domain, the public will own it... that's what the GPL, BSD licence and SCO say. You no longer have exclusive rights over it...

    Someone else could do what the hell they like with it because the GPL has never stood up in court, and the BSD licence allows it. Like the IP-stack in BSD... everyone knows it was invented by Linux Torwaldis in 1974, but because the GPL has never stood up in court, BSD corporation (under orders from SCO IMHO) relinced it and claims it as theirs because their licence is better.

    So, never release something in a public form. Infact, encrypt all your code... even when distributed... it should be decrypted every time it is run, and every time there should be an online fee paid to M$ and the RIAA for using their 16-bit secure coding system. That, my firend, is the only way to secure your code.

    That is such bull. Sounds like a troll but I guess you're just stupid.

    Is there a fixed quotient of standard of living in the world? No. Most people's measure of standard of living correlates with economic growth, which has been strong and will continue to be strong for years.

    The greatest force against our standard of living is the constant stream of fear pumped out by media corporations for their advertising revenues.

    It is your choice to study what you like and pursue the profession you want. It is my choice to oppose restrictive business practices.

    However, if you are truely good, creative, proactive and original you will always find good work (or create it).

    But if you are a typical CS graduate who says "all jobs are going overseas and there is nothing on a plate for me here" I have no sympathy.

    hmmm... thats akin to saying if i have a feather in my left shirt pocket I am not likely to get kidney failure, because although people who carry feathers have had kidney failure, none of them have had a single feather in their left shirt pocket in a clinical trial.

    Oh, and humans used to have the bulk of their diet on carbs since farming was discovered, i.e., since we gave up being hunter gathers. Meat has been a luxury in the last 10,000+ years.

    I think you answered my point.

    "The FDA recommends that individuals ingest approximately 300g of carbohydrates a day. This amount is awful for just about any individual other than one who ingests pasta and whole wheat exclusively, and bikes 25 miles/day"

    Everyone should eat only these types of carbs (well, exclusive is not necessary, but certinly not more than two pieces of fruit). And everyone should do at least an hour of moderate exercise every day (anything cardiovascular that increases the heartbeat). Fact is most don't.

    Hell, white flour and added sugars are pure evil.

    However, thin != healthy.

    As for wholly unsubstantiated... the Atkins diet has only been in widespread practice a short while and doesn't lend itself to clinical trials well... but for the kidney stone reference there was an article on page 3 of Monday's Times (reputable UK newspaper) refering to a recent university study. This has been the first clinical trial.

    For you reference to weight lifters... yes they do care about their kidneys a whole lot. Most drink a substantial amount of water to 'flush' the kidneys (they also have higher water requirements from creatine supplementation). But in the end they are in a profession and it is a means to an end.

    Please check your facts before jumping on the Atkins bandwagon.

The 'editors' of Slashdot, as they call themselves, are homosexual swingers with cleverly disguised nicknames. CmdrTaco (aka "Rob" Malda) is the "head" honcho of Slashdot. Cmdr obviously refers to his desire to dominate over his gay partners, and Taco is obviously a sly reference to his colon. Update: It is well known that Taco claims to be married to Kate Fent. No one really believes that 'she' is actually his wife. We have proof that this 'she' is actually a he. It turns out that Kathleen Fent is an anagram of KHAN FELT EN ET.

    I disagree.

    I teach OS concepts at a major college.

    What I've experienced with Linux is thus.

    It's for sure an inferior OS to UNIX and Windows because...

    1)It's really hard to use
    2)Not very stable
    3)Has little real security

    It's for sure dangerous to businesses and business computing in general because...

    1)It's source code is basically stolen from others work.
    2)It is free and has no market(money) driving it's development so therefore it's not good for the economy and the public interest in general
    3)The philosophy behind the distribution of Linux is Un-American and more like communism.
    This cannot be good for our country.
    It allows terrorists just enough encryption and power to aid them in their efforts to KILL us.
    4)The source is provided so ANYONE can create scripts and such to slam a linux system.

    It's role should just be for teaching OS concepts.
    In that role Linux is great. We use it in our classroom but I certainly explain to my students that it is not a real OS like Sun, SCO or Windows.
    If a student writes in a paper in my class and lists Linux as one of the OS's that make up the major market then they get an F on that paper.
    The reason is because Linux is not in the major Market it is in the minor market - the second rate
    special purpose OS's. Linux is not general enough
    to be considered an universal OS.

    In it's current state Linux is not ready for primetime. It will never be until Linus Torvalds
    does the following.

    1) Settle disputes with the IP holder of UNIX (SCO).
    2) Restricted source license.
    3) Make it a TRUE commercail OS
    4) Single source for distributing.(No SUSE, NO RH)

    After a couple of years of that you will see
    Linux become a first tier OS instead of a novelty
    OS.

    All I am saying is let's be realistic about what Linux is and is not.

    I am in the middle of an experiment.
    With the release of RH8 I decided to make it
    my exclusive Desktop OS to do all my work on it
    for one year.

    I bought RH 8 when it came out and the thing I noticed was I had to do about 6 weeks of almost constant tweeking and refining and reinstalling
    I finaly had it about 15% as productive as Windows 98! Think about that!
    It is also much much slower that Windows98.
    Even though I only load the absolutley minimum processes.

    1)It is not faster than Windows
    2)Does not manage memory better than NT or XP.
    3)The GUI is much less stable and crashes much more than winNT, XP or 98.

    These are just facts.

    Communism is a form of economics (all have the same money). Capitalism is a form of economics. Economics existed in a barter economy before there was money. Corruption of communism or capitalism is a form of economics.

    Economics is not long term or short term... it is a method of analysis.
