I read the whole article to find out what IANAL means, and I still don't know, so WHAT'S IT MEAN, please.
This means I Am Not A Lawyer (IANAL). It does not mean "IANAL - I am Near Alabama, so Yankees can filter posts easier." as some have suggested bcolflesh (710514)
Neither does it mean I Abuse Non-informative Acronyms Liberally
New question, Is there any way of filtering out posts from those near Alabama (or any states like IOWA, Ohio etc)?
The thing I think will be most problematic for the average user is that installing software is a pain on any UNIX. Please don't mention red carpet as why should a user go to a second application to install software, what if they don't know about red carpet. Installing from the command line (rpms or any package manger) is also not good enough. A user should not have to go in to another metaphor (command line v's GUI) to install software. Please don't mark me down as a troll am just telling it like it is, and don't think I am saying Linux is not ready for the big time (it is).
I don't have a problem with the idea that these robots will be used in the home for menial work (I know I would like to live in a spotless environment but don't always want to be cleaning my home) but I have some problems with his time line.
It took only 51 years to go from a rickety wooden airplane flying at 10 MPH, to a gigantic aluminum jet-powered Stratofortress carrying 70,000 pounds of bombs halfway around the world at 650 MPH..... In 1969, Americans set foot on the moon.
I hope he is not using this in his calculations as a lot of these advances were due to world war 2, A rapid increase of man hours in RnD owing to the war effort brought this along I belive. Besides this is asuming things progesses in the manor he imagines, which they may well not. Some one in the 1950s could have argued that we would mining the moon by now. Who would have guessed the advances of genetic engineering of today back in the 50s.
Uhmm...... ok chill it was a quick reply to the main post saying redhat does not do boxed sets. Now let me see if I got this right this thing called money is valuable, am I right, so you'd need a good way of making me part with it right (stop me here if I am wrong). So let's give a product or a service people need or want, does that follow or is my little brain confused. Have you ever bought a boxed set (there expensive $40+) If not why, and if you or me or any one else doesn't buy it this boxed set costs money to produce. Idea lets think up a way of making money from our popular product that actually makes money --ping--. I don't have a problem with that just as long as it's a GOOD SERVICE OR PRODUCT AT THE RIGHT PRICE. You can now go back to masturbating.
I have never bought a boxed CD set. I never will it cost £40, if it cost $10 then I would, Linux is in demand at the moment, this demand will most likely grow companies should be working out how best to satisfy this demand not provide a product put some imaginary price on it then expect profits.
Companies that satisfy a genuine need and give customers what they need thrive, others don't.
Some times you've got to make bold decisions in business. Am sure redhat would have thought up alternative revenue streams to make money. If you're haemorrhaging money its time to think "is there a better way" not carry on down the same road haemorrhaging more money.
Plus this packaging rethink would save them enough and, hopefully improve quality
