Oh (again) be aware that if you have a mix 32bit and 64 of Linux builds (as we do) that you compile the agent binary for the box you're putting it on.
If your hosts are similar (we have ~10 CentOS 5 x86 hosts and ~4 CentOS 5 x86_64 hosts, 2 Solaris and whatnot) you don't have to build the agent one each and every one. In our case, we build the x86 agent once, x86_64 once and Solaris once then just copy it over to the other systems.
Computers in schools have been a colossal waste of money. In the 'computer lab' you spend years upon years 'learning Word' and typing. In the classrooms, teachers don't know what to do with the systems so they sit there, the faculty to scared to touch them.
The school system is broken, throwing magical boxes at the problem won't fix it.
If simply using the tool lead in any way to understanding, or simply wishing to understand, by now we would have a ton of mechanics, telecom technicians and electricians. Each of these professions deal with something that just about everyone alive in the western world in a position to need to learn a profession has used for all of their lives. The reason their aren't is because simply using your car, phone and electricity teaches you nothing just as using a computer teaches you nothing because the actual details as to how they work have been carefully hidden away from the end user. Those that do go out to become mechanics, technicians, electricians and what not do so because the wanted to outside of any use of the device/service.
I can certainly see how online gaming or social networking might help these kids develop a better understanding of technology
I disagree. I play a MMO and have played this MMO for a few years now. The vast majority of players never learn a thing about the magic white box or the magical internet that brings them the game and their porn. The few that do, do so outside the game because they wanted to and so went out and learned. Simply using something doesn't teach any understanding of it.
As for social interaction? The little assholes who act like assholes coming in, act like assholes going out. They didn't learn anything their either.
OS X Server is a strange OS. It appears that it wants to be managed only via the GUI tools provided, while at the same time it wants to be managed via text files like any other UNIX. If you're an OS X user or desktop admin and think you're a shoe in for managing OS X Server, you're in for a big surprise.
I thought that the movie and the mangas were about Kaneda, not actually about Akira. II never really expected that you would see Akira, except in flashbacks. Staring in Akira would put DiCaprio as Kaneda or Tetsuo.
Very good. The point being that choosing to use what is classified FOSS or proprietary software is not submitting to someone else's dictations about how you use your computer.
Since you would choose whether or not to use proprietary software, developers choosing to create proprietary software is hardly dictating how you use your computer.
Just a few things off the top of my head, but the OS and filesystem. Probably why the article is about comparing Ubuntu with OS X and not a whitebox machine with no OS to a Mac with no OS.
If X moved to the kernel, I imagine X would be greatly improved because more devs...
Actually I would expect less developers to look at it. Any Linux developer who wants to look at X already will so you're most likely not going to pick up any developers that way, while at the same time dropping developers for the BSD's, OS X, Solaris/OpenSolaris and every other UNIX and application that uses X.org. There is a whole lot more to the world then just Linux.
What product? MS makes a whole lot of them and quite frankly most people already look at MS as a critical part of the computer. The MS could have been happy enough just to make ads that made people think about them in a positive light. Very few of the I'm a Mac ads tell you something directly about OS X or the hardware, instead they just play up the current perception of Mac's and make people think Apple is cool.
Personally, I thought the ads were funny, though the second was better then the first.
Windows is the most used though. In this sense, Microsoft did more to bringing IPv6 to everybody then switching ever other OS over would have. On top of that, Microsoft was not the last. Windows NT and 2000 had an IPv6 implementation available, with the first release of that in 1998, the same year Solaris 7 was released which also had a IPv6 add-on as Solaris didn't ship with IPv6 until Solaris 8 (2000). While the first release of IPv6 for Linux happened earlier (1996), it was unmaintained and almost useless until Linux started tracking KAME in 2000. Those efforts did not enter the mainline kernel until the 2.5 development cycle. While some of that was backported to 2.4, the first production kernel to include IPv6 (as opposed to it being an external project) was 2.6. KAME (IPv6 for the BSD's) started in 1998.
In short, just about everyone had a working IPv6 stack at about the same time.
They only appear to be doing their job. They are going to rerun the same tests that T-Mobile did that show the whole plan is a failure. So, unless T-Mobile's engineers are idiots the FCC's tests can also only end in failure at which point the requirement to provide free wireless broadband to hold that spectrum range will just go away.
They are doing the 'tests' that are required to remove the free access provision just like whoever paid the right person wants them to do.
The GPL does not invalidate Trademarks. Red Hat owns the trademarks in question and was well within their rights to ensure it is used the way they wanted it to be used. At no point did Red Hat try to use trade mark law to keep the CentOS project "from doing what the GPL entitled them to do." In fact, RH goes out of its way to make repackaging RHEL much easier. They are not required to release source RPMs, but they do anyway. Red Hat just doesn't want you identifying your recreated distro as RHEL.

Obamas administration won't have to look. They'll be given their part of it in order not to. You don't have to look for what is simply given to you.

mmmmmmmmm Vanilla Quake.
Run VMWare Server 2 on a system that has IPv6 enabled and loaded.

They're not Australians you numbskull, they're South African.
God damn, the nerve of some people.
Who cares about need.
Ever thought that maybe they just didn't want to?

You give up no freedom in choosing to use proprietary software. You exercise your freedom in the act of choosing.
Since you would choose whether or not to use proprietary software, developers choosing to create proprietary software is hardly dictating how you use your computer.
Now you deserve to be made fun of.
That attitude brought the world DS9, Voyager and Enterprise and other crapfests like Transformers.
