the author of this list is a retard. maybe if you too were a retard you would have 'forgotten' about these google products.
i used 4 of those forgotten products on a regular basis.
try not to post dumb shit like this any longer.
Do you live under a rock where you didnt hear about the eeePC? It's been all over internet news for weeks.
1. Stay uninformed.
2. Make stupid comment because you arent informed.
3. Get made fun of.
4. slit your wrists.
yes, but telling the community would allow them to make changes and no longer infringed upon them and remove the ability to spread FUD.
I dont think he is talking about code. He is talking about patents.
MS needs linux to show there is something competing against them. They also need to have linux play well with their products to keep their corporate customers happy. I think ballmer's BS is bad for MS.
btw using "M$" makes ppl look like tools to those who are not religious fan boys. I realize there are alot of them here but still...
While I am sure that linux does infringe upon some MS patents (some related to fat for sure) i call into question the legitimacy of some of those patents and I think ballmer is unwise in making these threats. Why add fuel to the alienation fires? Turn your focus on making a better product that exceeds requirements and expectations of consumers. And not stating what those patents are makes you look silly in the wake of sco.
The OS that truly handles multicores will be the OS that wins. Linux, OSX, Windows... currently they all fail here.
In the late 90s I lived in brooklyn and had several encounters with their officers. No amount of yes sire/no sir changes their demeanor. They a bullies who see nothing wrong in harassing law abiding folks. I was happy to see that two of the officers who had on more than one occasion given me an unnecessary hard time were found guilty of drug trafficing related offense back in 2000.
Unlike Righi, I am certain the cop in question was a bad cop. Instead of protecting this mans rights he knowingly arrested the man on bogus charges.
It does not surprise me that the plain dealer out right lied about the outcome of this story. The paper has been printing half truths and biased stories for years. I often wondered, if they print mistruths about Howard Stern what else are they lying about?
I can hear the difference. I am also 37 and can hear the mosquito anti-teenager noise, but not so well that i find it any more grating that the high pitch noise of a tv or monitor.
If I had it to do over again my collection would consist of FLAC.
I listen to the ghost in the shell soundtrack and Dark Side OF The Moon (the first cd i purchased back in the 80s) to gauge the over all audio quality of whatever technology is i'm testing. The depth is lost when its converted into MP3. I notice no difference in the FLAC files.
I understand pirating mp3s and other lossy formats, but I dont understand buying them with the extra BS of DRM. If you are going to buy music, buy the CD and rip it.
On a side note... Rap died with the introduction of the word bling. Hip hop is now just a cheesy lame duck now. Shallow self indulgent fairy tales with subpar beats.
They got a wacky wack record put o' wacky wack crews Yo what about the lyrics? That shit's wacky wack too with a fucked up style and a fucked up show Hey yo Ren, what about the scratchin', is it def? Fuck no! The mothafuckin' record is a mothafuckin' wack
The mothafuckin' cracka jack needs to step the fuck back... - NWA
I assume you have not read what Torvalds has said on the subject? He's rejected gpl 3 completely as he feels it makes the software less free.
I also assume you have not discussed it or read about it elsewhere... the community is rather split over it. Free -vs- not very Free. This is going to effect the ability/desire of these groups to work together and will continue to further splinter linux. The more linux is splintered the less progress will be made thus killing linux. There there is the effect this has on users/businesses. And what businesses are going to look at this gpl war and decide to go linux in these uncertain times?
Wasnt apple buying CUPS in reaction to gpl 3?
Not sure why Microsoft would be afraid of something that threatens linux and open source as a whole.
(I should note that I am a fan of the BSD license, which is in the spirit of free really meaning free.)
I've seen women cry at work. Clue; once you cry at work no one respects you. You will be forever known as the dumb bitch who cried at work no matter how well you do your job.
Leave your feelings at home and adapt to the particular culture of your environment. If people have to speak in hushed tones around you because you are overly sensitive its not likely they are ever going to bond with you. Dont look to be promoted, or listened to, if people just dont like you.
Hide all insecurities and be a fair adversary. Know what you are doing and know how to explain it.
When a vendor/customer snubs your solution because you are a girl see if you can find a male you trust to back you up. People are jerks, but getting upset/mad and crying/bitching is not going to change that. Keep to task. I've seen men with names that are more commonly applied to women have their solutions snubbed purely because the other party mistook them as female. The change in attitude when the mistake is discovered has always made me laugh.
IT workers are like truck drivers with a different knowledge base. We use filthy language, have filthy minds, and we laugh at things on the internet would make the most vulgar truck driver blush/wince/cry. We wear nicer clothing, sure. But in the end we are pigs. And like truck drivers, we really arent sexist pigs. A woman doesnt really have to try twice as hard to be thought half as good. Dont be an insecure sensitive human resources liability. Be a strong woman who knows what she is doing!
A close friend of mind was a female photographer for a company that took construction photos. She would have to climb on all sorts of beams and such that would make most ppl think twice. Every site was the same. Some guy explaining to her that she was gonna have to climb something scary and her explaining that she'd only done this a few hundred times and that this site wasnt very impressive. She also perfected a look that said 'you are an idiot, STFU!'.
I've seen a guy cry at work also... If you are a guy and cry at work, just quit.
tons of support in the way of linux users screaming RTFM noob.
Heh. No CEO today is going "if it's so good, why would you give it away for free?" unless he's been living in a cave and missed all those IBM spots. CEO's are wanting evidence that the product will meet their needs, that support is going to be there, and that they can find employees to support it. They are also wondering about much of the in fighting between factions is going to effect their ability to get support/upgrades/legally continue to use a solution they implement.
I'm a fan of dont touch what isnt broken. While standardization across the board is nice and all it is the bottom line that concerns me most. If the LAMP shop is working just fine, and can accommodate updates/changes/normal maint with no added cost/complications then it should be left alone, otherwise accept assimilation and move on.
Having nonstandard shops can bite an organization in the ass when employees whom maintain those systems leave. Standardization allows for employees in other shops to step in with little/no learning curve and take over responsibilities. To take this further, going with mainstream software/platforms, also allows employers to replace employees as they need.
I have seen several implementations of RT that has blown away every other ticketing system I have used. This ofcourse was because there were clued people behind the configurations/mods.
One implementation had problem drop down boxes could lead to possible problems/solutions/hints on where to look for helpful resources related to the problem. Old tickets can be made to flash red to scream for attention. Can readily link to customer databases. Service hooks can be added to to interface with sql, radius, edit zone/named files, whatever. At glance past history with links to all previous cases. Information about services supplied to the customer (ips, dns, interface, contact info...) And the end users can access the system via any webbrowser, meaning no end user software to install. The monetary savings there is only beat by the lack of frustration of a software roll out and the other complications of installing software on machines with unknown stability or tethering users to a particular OS. Oh, and you can book mark search/sort parameters which is extremely useful for finding dropped tickets, tickets of a particular type, that are owned by a group or individual. Oh, and SANELY formatted!!! No tabs, no freaken side scrolling and truncation of fields. TAB friendly too... no keyboard to mouse keyboard to mouse over and over again for just basic stuff. Did I mention that RT works very well for the end user OVER DIAL UP on a http://bestpractical.com/rt
But again. My experience with RT was also backed up with good programmers who knew what a real ticketing system should look like. It is because of these experiences that i loath all other ticketing systems for their.
Worse ticketing systems? Heat, Vantive, and MAS 90 (not really a ticketing system, but i've seen it used to track customer issues).
Heat is the ticketing system of those overly concerned with metrics. It wastes times and impedes progress while giving the customer a bad customer experience. Vantive is a resource hog, requires wincap to be installed, and dislikes slow machines. Forget about ever getting a good over view of open cases at glance. You will click from tab to tab... keyboard to mouse over and over again. Oh, and did I mention both of these like to crash at the worse times? They whittle down the sanity of anyone who is forced to use them over any period of time. Breaking their will and pushing them closer and closer to going postal or quitting. Expect slamming of keyboards/mice/heads to be common place where implemented. Productivity killers. End of Line.
Your keyboard provides targets for your immune system to practice on and develop strategies against. This is important for survival of the species. I'm a fan of letting kids (and adults) eat the stuff they drop on the floor. Candy under the couch? Old sandwich? I eat that too. I stopped washing my hands as often during flu season too, and do not avoid touching my face either. germaphobes cheese me off, but luckily they will all die out.
Just use your dirty keyboard until it no longer works. Toss it in the landfill, get a new one. And any keyboard over $20 is a rip off. Life happens to keyboards. Pop, fried chicken breading, oil, dust, kids... As long as the keyboard does have ghosting issues with keys you use for gaming you're all set.
Getting fiber to the customer premise can involve ripping up streets, sidewalks, driveways, drilling sideways, ruining lawns, new equipment, etc... this is expensive and might disfigure the property.
Depending on your area you can use the existing copper to get speeds up to 45 megs with a simple ethernet hand off.
Spending $5-20k to install fiber that is going to support a 10 meg crk is not financially responsible when other solutions exist that will supply the exact same needs. How much bw do you currently need? How much bw will you need in the future? How much is it going to cost? How long will it take to be up and running? You will find that copper is the logical solution. (depending on you area of course).
(btw, this is based on actually real world experience, not conjecture. Save fiber for 50m> crks or internal network runs greater than 350 feet. And call around to see what the ISPs around you have to offer.)
ask any DJ/radio personality if contracts matter, they dont. judges dont look at contracts and say 'well, it says you do this, you do this.' they let lawyers argue invalid points and let companies fail to live up to their word.
EULA's are complete BS; they are not a legally binding contract. Period.
heh, why not sue because an EULA is unreadable nonsense?
Who is the dumb ass at gateway that didnt just replace the guys computer and make this go away?

I happen to side with Linus on his views of gpl 3. Free should mean free, not free as long as you abide by my religious paradigms.
But what I was saying was the linux community is/was/will be already fractured and the article's author sounds like a QQing noob/fanboy.
I assume you have not read what Torvalds has said on the subject? He's rejected gpl 3 completely as he feels it makes the software less free.
I also assume you have not discussed it or read about it elsewhere... the community is rather split over it. Free -vs- not very Free. This is going to effect the ability/desire of these groups to work together and will continue to further splinter linux.

I'm pretty sure linux has fragmented itself. GPL3 will even further fragment linux.
Heh, that article was painful to read. QQ more, noob.
