Is there some reason Dropline isn't good enough for you? It was good enough for Patrick.
Now, that said, I personally will never use it again because the uninstaller blows and leaves behind a large number of files. So now I have shutdown looking for libwnck because it was removed with the rest of Gnome. It was a nice desktop when it was installed though.
Macintosh is the hardware. For a good while the OS didn't have a name even, it was just the OS for the Macintosh, and then simply refered to as the Mac's OS and finally formally the MacOS.
I believe that the OS X eula you agree to when you install it states that OS X is to only be installed on Apple hardware. So yes, instlling OS X under PearPC or any other emulator is probably a violation of "Apple's software license."
deadlinegrunt, meet capitalism. Capitalism, deadlinegrunt. There is no difference between Google, Sun or MS. They all just want to make money. Microsoft is probably the most successfull of the three, so people whine and complain about it.
Is the admin to dense to change defaults. Becides what would be a good default for a system that is most often a server? "Not Networked is probably the safest.
Have you ever installed Solaris? Its installer is about as friendly as *BSD's and since the entire thing was *BSD's as server systems who cares if the installer is all pretty and askes you 5 times if your really sure you want to format. It doesn't seem to have limited Solaris to ubergeeks.
No you don't need a formal education to e-mail and that applies to any system, but installations are not really every day occurences are they? A bare minimum installation is not limiting its self to CS majors, but to people who do real work. If you cant install a *BSD, are you sure you should even be administering it?
If the entire fs is turned into a database by using indexes, what exactly is indexed?
Everything. You could search by every image file that would scale to a wallpaper. Every MP3 by some group with a bitrate of 128kbps. Every word file that was modified by Jane after February 2. You can index a large amount of information about the files themselves, the term is metadata. Right click a word or excel file and look at its properties, you could search by all that.
There used to be a reason that people went to school to learn how to understand computers and maintain them. Now everyone expects a silly wizard to do everything for them.
no end of support for this type of venture considering the anti-Microsoft sentiment Which is, of course, the reason everyone is switching to Apples now. Hmmm wait a minute, theres something not quite right here.
"What exactly do you do here?" "I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to! I HAVE PEOPLE SKILLS! Can't you understand that, I AM GOOD AT DEALING WITH PEOPLE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!"
Actually the difference is Xerox invited Apple to see it and Apple licenced it.
BTW my KDE looks like the Altimat desktop from the.hack games, superkaramba is a really interesting thing. KDE does not have to look like Windows, and from where I sit, Gnome looks just as much like Windows by default as KDE does. The only difference is that they have a bar at the top and the bottom of the desktop.
Bind and Apache are included in the base system. They are audited and patched just like the rest of the base install, so having them in OpenBSD does not change the exploitability of the system. Secondly, the phrase is 'Only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 8 years!' Which means that while you could install FreeBSD and bring up a firewall that blocks everything, it is not the default distribution method. The benefit to the OpenBSD default everything off is that the admin must explicitly enable services and so its much easier to keep a secure system, whereas a system where you have to start off with shutting things off there is a higher chance that you could miss something.
Yes it is a problem that I have to have one network and one internet for my Windows machines and another for my Unix boxes. Oh wait, thats right, they both use the TCP/IP standard. Well, at least your right that I can't have my linux box auth against the AD using kerberos or LDAP. Holy shit it worked, must be those standards again. At least you were right that I can't use an MS DNS or DHCP server to serve Linux clients, or use Bind for the DNS operations of the Active Directory. Nope, hm wrong again. So again, MS using standards and BSD software locks me in how? Exactly what interoperability problems were you referring to?
You can't get hold of the propietary, extended code for windows networking to fix the operatability problem without NDA etc. You can only guess the BSD code up to the moment of forking. After the fork point, the code has been tweaked and closed and used to build a system that tries to lock you in forever after. That's the kind of danger the GPL protects you against.
This is not a danger, this is explicitly allowed under the BSD license. The only danger is people that release BSD software without knowing what that entails. As others have said far better then I can, the GPL is about control. It has been created by people that have a very specific vision about how things should be and the GPL enforces that. For some people that do not subscribe to the same altered view of the word freedom, the GPL is restrictive. The BSD license is for people that simply want to write code and have it used. Both have their place, but to say the GPL is more free is a joke, and that the BSD somehow locks in people that CHOSE to use it, and remember once free software was about choice, is retarded. If you are going to whine that some company is using your BSD licensed code, you have no one to blame except yourself, you chose to distribute under those terms.

So a complete lack of self control is now masked as an addiction? No wonder no one ever thinks its their fault.
"I'm sorry I wasted all your money dad and flunked out of that really expensive school. Its not my fault, I have an addiction."
No your just a lazy punk who did everything he could to not do what he should.

I bet he cares about it as much as I do, as in he just runs it. His focus is on the Linux kernel, userspace is someone else's consern.
You should be shot for suggesting a 'reality' show.
Highlight and middle-click. Personally I've never had a problem, but I do remeber accidentally stumbling on to that. Thats one handy little feature.

So you never would have thought about building your kids a playhouse if Linus hadn't said he was? You might want to look into thinking for yourself.
Obviously, and damn its a good thing they don't. I was more thinking of the pack-rat tendencies that keeping a welcome email from 1995 revealed.

So report a bug. That definatly sounds like unintended side effects.
you can't authenticate Win2k workstations to Kerberos server other than A - due to MS "extensions" to their Kerberos implementation.
Yes, actually you can, and Microsoft supplies the tools on the Windows 2000 CD's to do it.
I wouldn't really say they're missing it Bob.
You must have a huge datastore if you keep this level of information.
