I contracted with IBM for about a year. Using Notes/Domino was the worst experience ever. Why would anyone care whether it was open source or not. I wish it would just die already.
Well that just makes you look like a tin-foil wearing; crazed conspiracy lunatic. No one in their right mind believes that beyond the far right AM talk show nut jobs. Just present one once ounce of real proof that your conspiracy holds any truth. Come on...require more of your self than that. When someone tells you something...ask yourself..can they back that up with facts? What are the facts? What is the agenda of the person reporting? Use a little intellectual brain power instead of primal fear instincts and require more of yourself. Obama is not the devil and if you believe that....I'm sorry for you.
Ok..that is a lie. You are just spreading what you've been told. What did we do before a blind eye was turned on illegal immigration? As prices went up, wages went up because employers were forced to pay a living wage to get the job done. Jobs done by AMERICANS and shame on you for disparaging Americans like we are some bunch of wont-get-off-our-asses slobs. I happen to think more of us than that. We just can't afford to do jobs that pay only $5 an hour when illegals will do the job for that and live 20 of them in one apartment. That is the truth and if you say it isn't you are a lier spreading propaganda. I grew up on a farm. I've had family and friends work construction jobs that they can no longer afford to do. As far as deporting them all....that's not an issue. All you have to do is make the punishment so bad for employers caught hiring illegals that no one would dare hire one and PROBLEM SOLVED. No work and they will all return to Mexico on their own. Your propaganda is no less offensive than the far right.
The tide is turning. I've been a Texan all my life. Conservative talk radio dominates the AM dial and like they say...garbage in...garbage out. I'm constantly amazed how blindly my neighbors follow the party line. Lies and innuendo are accepted as fact. I hate to admit it, but the Christian Conservative movement has turned the whole fight into an us-against-them battle and it's impossible to make rational arguments when it's gotten to that level. There are those of us here that see the absurdity and will be voting for Obama. I don't agree with everything he stands for. Illegal immigration is a huge issue here. We don't really understand why politicians don't stand up for the American worker. Our jobs are being de-valued by workers who come here and will accept a non-living wage for most Americans. Our federal government hands out money hand over fist for welfare, health benefit and education to people that have no legal right to be here. Other than that, I agree with Obama's plans completely. The myth that the market will take care of itself has finally been debunked and hopefully we will get some sane regulation put back in place. I hope we can bring our troops back home and balance the budget. I hope we can do something about health care. I hope we can do something about our reliance on foreign oil. I hope we can help the unfortunate here at home that have slipped through the cracks due to our own selfishness. I believe that Obama is our best hope for a better future...and as a native Texan...he has my vote.
All these stats are usually compiled based on website visits to a particular group of websites or in some instances just one site. Have you ever stopped to think that the average Linux user just might have different browsing habits than the "average" joe blow user? I am certain the majority of people frequent a lot of websites I would consider crap and have never visited. There never has been an accurate way to measure the actual number of Linux desktops in use since it can't be tied to any sales figures.
I get a DRM-free version AND I don't have to listen to a bunch of unnecessary foul language that adds nothing to the song in the first place? Works for me!
I've been happily using emacs for the past 9 years. I haven't been holding my breath waiting for the next release because frankly it does everything I need it to do and it does an outstanding job.
For years I've been watching this vi vs emacs debate pop-up here and there. It's slightly amusing and I really think most people aren't that seriously religious about it (at least I hope not). I took the time several years ago to learn vi, since I do Linux consulting and vi is always available no matter where I log in. I like it just fine. The one thing that keeps me from moving to it as my primary editor is dired. I can't live without it. It's so easy to open up the whole directory in Emacs and jump from file-to-file within the editor. I know vi (or is it vim?) has a pseudo dired like mode you can use, but it just doesn't quite feel as smooth - Most likely because I'm just so used to Emacs. Anyway, it's great to see that Emacs is still in active development. Perhaps I will find some great new thing I can do with it.
I am a former radio dj. I always wanted to have my own radio station. My dreams came true a little over a year ago when I started my very own Internet radio station. I have spent around $4500 dollars getting the station up and going. There are costs for music, automation and music scheduling software, computers, bandwidth, stream hosting, licensing fees not to mention the endless hours I spent putting it all together. I also did all the webpage creation and hosting myself which saved me quite a bit of money. I had originally hoped that I would at least be able to re-coup my original investment and get enough revenue to at least cover my expenses. After a little over a year of broadcasting, I have received $0 in donations and just $20 from website advertising revenue (google and amazon). I finally resigned to the fact I was never going to see my $4500 again and since that most of that was sunk costs, I would just continue paying the ongoing licensing/streaming fees so that I could continue playing the music I love for myself and the small number of listeners that also enjoy the station. I never expected to get rich off this thing. I did it for my love of the music and my passion for radio. Now if this decision is not reversed I'll just be forced to throw all my hard work and dreams into the toilet. Some of us aren't the greedy bastards we're being made out to be. We just love music.
Yeah, It couldn't possibly be because Hollywood is putting out nothing but garbage. I could care less about seeing the stuff that gets released these days. They don't have any idea who we as American's are. All they care about is pushing some liberal agenda down our throats or making movies on the intellectual and sense of humor level of someone in Junior High School. Yes - I'd rather rent a movie and watch it at home, but I'd be more than happy to go to the theater if they actually could make a movie I was interested in seeing.
