I am convinced that Mandelson has got the "goods" on some aspect of Tony Blair's past... it's the only explanation for why he keeps getting called back despite his many indiscretions.
you came in here with a cock-and-bull story about how you cocked up compiling a custom kernel back in 199x and that by extension every Linux user would have similar problems nowadays just using mainstream hardware... get lost...
hey troll... fsck off... I've been using Linux on my desktop since 1999 and have never had to compile my kernel OR modules for that matter... everything has worked... the only proviso being that I have never fallen for using crappy winModems or winPrinters, I've always purchased real ones.
Pah... I can do that already... I've got 4 linux boxes networked and three of them are being driven using X over ethernet... so basically, yes, I am doing all four tasks at once on the same display... however, they are being done on four separate computers...
nothing's new... everytime you see some artist you haven't heard from for a while on the TV or in a magazine article or whatever... they've got something to sell... even if they don't actually mention it at all, they've still got something lurking there like a new album or film...
an example... There was some puff piece in the papers the other day (UK) about Robbie Williams having admitted that he'd slept with four of the Spice Girls and that Melanie C (AKA Sporty Spice) was fuming about it... the only reason for that puff piece ever surfacing was to get Mel C into people's conciousness again... and that was purely because she has a new album out...
Any time you see some movie star being interviewed for a Sunday magazine... you'll notice that they just so happen to also have a film about to be released...
PR at work... they only exist to get their clients noticed...
"Would you do bussiness with a company that tries hard to screw over their government?"
They're not just screwing over their government... they're screwing over their fellow countrymen by off-shoring more jobs for the benefit of some company execs bonus payments and the shareholders dividends...
we'll be reading about the IP issues of using camera-phones to record what the lecturer has written on the board...
Sheesh, back in my day, I used a little dictaphone device to record the audio and a Polaroid camera (remember them???) to take photos of the blackboard at stages during the lecture... and that was back in the 1970's
they simply want to be the only ones that can do it. The simplest way to do that is to have the government tax any competition out of existence, and then make any such competition illegal. iTunes is certainly competition (even though it has to pay royalties for every song it sells). And, sure as Hell's a mantrap, you can bet that there will "exceptions" to any such tax regulations that exempt the big boys from forking over a penny. It stinks, any way you look at it.
It doesn't matter, any money levied upon their own sales would be coming back to them anyway... this way, they can cut their cake, get their own slice back along with a slice of everyone elses cake as well...
The Microsoft resellers are losing clients hand over fist who can't see the point in upgrading their existing hardware to run a full blown XP desktop. The clients are making noises about and probably already moving over to running LTSP and thin clients with their existing hardware.
With this announcement, Microsoft are hoping to stop the bleeding to Linux by being able to say, hang on a few months and we'll have a solution for you that doesn't involve the "unknown" of Linux, but keeps you in the nice warm fuzzy Microsoft fold...
Anything to stop people experiencing the delights of Linux is worth this volte-face from Microsoft, who until previously, have always required you to go and purchase new flashy hardware to run the new flashy OS on...
wrong... it was going to write or read the disk anyway... it doesn't hit the disk to get hold of the signature file coz that's already safely in memory... virus checkers check on access to the disk, either when the file is being read into memory, or the file is about to be written out to disk. That's provided of course, that you've enabled that aspect of virus checking and aren't being dumb and relying on scanning the disk every day or so instead.
Personally, I put my faith in having a secure OS in the first place and not relying on an after-the-fact band-aid to cover up the massive holes in the security model... Then I don't have to waste CPU cycles doing any virus checks at all...
you mean to tell me that cell phones don't work indoors in America??? what!!!! it's a common sight in the UK to see people using cellphones almost anywhere... some of the weirdest conversations I've ever overheard have been in public washrooms while people have been interrupted by their phones ringing while on the john... it's a perfectly normal sight these days to see people going down the supermarket aisles while on the phone asking their husbands or significant others to check that they haven't already got something in the fridge or freezer... or asking if xyz will do instead of zyw for the dinner party...
To see anybody associated with Debian quoting "release early and often"
The problem is, the rest of the Linux world just won't stand around and wait for Debian... I just wish they'd go and say "ach, to hell wi'it..." and shovel it out the door and then issue a service pack some months down the road... you know, like Microsoft do...
no, because the opposite view will just declare that the process is just another of God's mysterious wonders... You can't argue with these people... they just have this unshakeable faith in God's ability to put anything in the "fossil" record... and if they still have problems with it, they'll just claim that the Devil was putting it there to cause them to doubt God...
the vast majority of computer users out there don't know about Linux because the mainstream press keep it that way... it's all ms-windows this, that and the other to keep the advertisers happy and the advertising revenue rolling in... everytime you see an add with the text "xxx recommend Microsoft Windows XP", part of the cost of that add was effectively paid for by Microsoft in the form of kickbacks to the OEMs in the form of Market Development funds... Microsoft doesn't discriminate on price to the OEMs anymore, they just have a points system for the market development funds instead... the more hoops you've jumped through, the more money you get from them... It's a rebate in all but name and it's been very carefully designed to get past the DOJ punishment.
The companies Softcon and Gonicus got the addition from the Bavarian state capital M?hen, the IT Migrationsprojekt LiMux with the production to unterst?en configuration and care of a basis Clients which is based on open SOURCE often commodity f?die 14,000 Arbeitspl?e of the city administration. That means, which will be based zuk?tige basis Client of the city administration on the Linux distribution Debian. The city M?hen had European-wide written this order out.
LiMux project manager Peter Hofmann is pleased?r a high participation in the advertisement and the Qualit?der offered achievements. That shows that a migration on Linux on the job is not "Exotenl?ng at the market". The offerer with the best Verh?nis received the addition from technical authority and price.

The town councillor M?hens decided in May 2003to begin on the personal computers of the city open SOURCE often commodity since the Unterst?ung used f?das operating system at present by Microsoft was adjusted. Up to the summer 2004 a fine concept was provided to the technical conversion and the organizational conditions, which the town councillor absegnete on 16 June 2004.

If you don't know you're flying near restricted airspace, then you fucked up during the planning stage.
How can you know if you are flying in restricted airspace, when the Homeland Security has had the airspace restricted secretly... ie, it's a restricted area, but they won't tell you where it is for fear that terrorists might attack it...
I've got a DVD at home that came with Sarge rc1... it's rapidly approaching one year old... and the final release still hasn't happened... that's the bl00dy problem with Debian...

oh by the way...
18:45:45 up 288 days, 5:36, 7 users, load average: 0.14, 0.13, 0.09
that is a stock distro kernel... everything works. USB, graphics, printer, scanner, soundcard. I've never had to piss about with it...
and this one...
18:44:37 up 15 days, 21:52, 5 users, load average: 0.31, 0.30, 0.29
latest Ubuntu... absolutely NO problems with it at all.
A lot has happened to Linux since you alledgedly last pissed about with it...
now piss off back to the windows.advocacy groups... people in there might believe your tales of Linux...
hey troll... fsck off... I've been using Linux on my desktop since 1999 and have never had to compile my kernel OR modules for that matter... everything has worked... the only proviso being that I have never fallen for using crappy winModems or winPrinters, I've always purchased real ones.
Pah... I can do that already... I've got 4 linux boxes networked and three of them are being driven using X over ethernet... so basically, yes, I am doing all four tasks at once on the same display... however, they are being done on four separate computers...
an example...

why is leaving the WTO not an option??? If enough countries got off their butts and walked out, that would leave the WTO in a bit of a pickle...

I'll get back to having fun with Ubuntu then... byeee
better still... send them an Ubuntu Linux CD...
