Hmmmm, first, what kind of video card do you have? Do you have accelerated drivers for that in Linux? Have you googled for this card to find out any tweaking flags for X-Windows configuration?
I know, I know, lot of people will say - but this is not what common user have to do. Of course. I usually would provide it as additional service, or if it is new computer WITH Linux bought from me - already everything would be tweaked.
What kind of complex policies you are talking about?
Managing coorporations is more like that - managing. It is very hauting task - but it is NOT complex. It requies talent, knowledge HOW to manage PEOPLE who manages problems.
You want to know where is problems with those companies? They DON'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE THEIR PEOPLE. Because NO ONE REQUIRES CEO TO DO THAT.
Everyone things - well, I got power, I got money. Fuck that! Do you have influence to workers of your company? Respect? If you don't then you are FUCKED UP. Your company is FUCKED UP.
What I have seen recently that usually CEO are some person with high ambitions but very low self-esteem and most important - VERY low respect from others.
It is NOT complex. It just requires RIGHT person to be in CEO place - not someone with big balls.
It seems like you have cracked your deadlock which was more or less Sarge release (of coarse lot of Debianists will claim that it was just how it was to be - and I partly agree with them). There are lot of things will change in Debian soon - as Mandrake and co are planning to weight in with creation of enteprise level distro based on it and lot of development which was held back after Sarge release is really happening now - and I excited to see my second favorite distro to move forward faster and faster.
I just wonder how this is modded Interesting? Because of preemptive 'bashing' - 'Hey, open source got the same bug too'? AFAIK GNOME does include RD based on VNC. Microsoft Remote Desktop is totally different game and protocol.
Not actually. People still don't tolerate corruption. But they are CONFUSED. And confuse tactics are so WELL used from 'evil' side (I use evil in brackets, because it is just wrong doing). Example - I accuse Microsoft in illegal usage of it's monopoly state. Microsoft PR colours me as 'unamerican', 'communist', 'against profit', etc. It mudes and confuses colours so common crowd don't understand a BIT.
I just wonder what all those colleges, universities, etc. do as we have so low level of critically thinking people. For example, everyone knows that Bush mishandled war in Iraq. Yet, we got lot of HIGH educated people who will protect him at all cost. WHY? He blew it. I don't care for reasons but how it was managed... Why he is saint cow now?
Because people are confused. With violence. They are frightened - another tactic used from 'evil' force ('music piracy will collapse industry!'). Sometimes I watch this with dispair how easy well educated, smart people can be manipulated.
Emmmmm...they already do. If you broadcast/record some concert material which has some copyrighted piece of art, you have to pay about minutes (AFAIK).
Yes, it is in copyright law.
Emmmm, no. From my expierence, people think in categories PC = Windows, and that PC sucks, but you should use it, because well everyone use it. They don't know nothing about productivity. They don't know about alternatives, because, well, in their minds software and PC is one monolith.
'Out of box' means 'I plug this thingy in USB and it works'. Windows needs usually some SP/Hotfix action and driver installation. So it is quite difference.
Yes, you did exactly that. People who wait for miracles...you know what happens to them.
Ok, it sounds more like rant and troll, but I want to explore more of this ground. Actually Microsoft's inability deliver something which they haven't bought from others (or stole) and what could be top quality (not only 'good enough') surprises me. There are lot of smaller companies, yet, they deliver excelent products.
But Microsoft with all that money they have can't deliver at least something which doesn't annoy their users. It is sad to see that people rant about Internet Explorer, Office, yet they are chained to them for various reasons - apps, support, etc.
I have stopped to be angry and annoyed to Microsoft some three years ago when drop them from my active used OS list. I can say - after that, life have never been better.
Hmmmm, I won't call OS X UI 'eye candy', it is very useful, when are you used to it. Microsoft, in this situation, however simply copies some of graphical features, don't even try to understand why are there in OS X.
Your emotions are really human, but there is one big fundamental flaw - it is violence which causes more violence. War in Iraq (Which was much more bloody and messy than war in Afganistan, which was mererly a clean-up operation of Al Queda) was mistake in the way it was executed and accepted. Motivation and what really happens matters much more than very heoritic words that 'we will root out this plaque', 'terrorists won't win'. Guess what, it is NOT terrorists who win in this war. Violence, cruelty do. Arm business do. Oil business do. You should understand that it is NOT a movie. These are people out there who do these crimes. People like me and you. There is evil in everyone and somehow something managed to push these people so far to do that - KILL. And I guess after all this fuss, horror and emotions will come clear mind and you will see that it is all staged. Someone heavily benifits from that. For someone it is game. And guess what - those people are NOT terrorists. They just cold calculated, motivated to rule this world THIS way. Learn to have pain, learn to forgive. Learn not to act in revenge. Learn to understand people. Protect yourself, but not only from others - from you too.
I'm second this. This is the main argument for me - people don't want to steal. Ok, maybe some geeks and teenagers do, but lot of people have some kind of respect to other's work. Lot of people want to check out movie not on DVD, but on computer. Why not give them this chance? For example, I want Batman Begins. I have two variants now - I have to attend cinema (too busy for this, I want to see this at home, etc.) or I have to download it illegally and it is very technicaly chellening sometimes to find good copy of screener. I guess lot of people won't do that anymore if there will be such service.
(thunderous accord) LINUX IS DOOOMED!!! (evil laughs) There is no way Linux can defeat me in the desktop, NEVER! Linux doesn't exist, it doesn't exist on desktop, it will never...wait a minute... (off stage) You say they have lot of migrations happening? Novell? Trolltech? emmm... OpenOffice.org?
Ok, I just don't have time to finish it. All I wanted to say that I am just tired of these stories and pretictions. I use Linux EVERY day and I know lot of people who does it too - for profesional, entertaiment means. And I DON'T care about world domination or whatever. If it will happen, good. If it won't - so, who cares. It is life.
Please start do something useful, and please stop these useless desktop war discussions.
I'm GNOME junkie, but KDE is quite superb desktop envorement (my taste is just different) and Trolltech are really doing good and professional job here. Desktop wars aside (we have nothing to fight each other about), I love lot of KDE apps like K3b, Kbabel, etc.
Maybe the big reason why iPod is popular because it looks very cool and yet in same time - very simple. People JUST want to listen to the music. Nothing more. Nothing less.
I have to agree with this sad expierence too, because it is very common in Eastern Europe countries, where copyright offices uses lack of knowledge and expierence in usage of copyright laws to execute stupid and absurd requests - such as mentioned in parent post. In such level of abuse of this law, I don't see how long they will get a respect from customers.
To ruin your propably already planned travel to East, China has already adopted software patents (or is on it's way to do it, can't find a correct statement googling thought). So there is not much countries left to hand it.
...and my pick is that copyright and trademark laws are very well designed to protect intelectual property in software world. Patents only makes things worse, it is thing only loved by lawyers.
I was looking for slow transformation to be a musician and record producer (at least no one can patent certain sounds), but this will quicken my farevell. Guess what...another industry killed by greedy corporations. Yeah, money it is all that matters. Who cares about healthy, free market? Fuck it.

It is maybe because we don't question ourselves?

Interesting how my GP post got moderated Redundant? It is my experience of sysadmin's 10 years in active Windows/Solaris/OSX/Linux/AIX usage.

But of course, this is slashdot, lot of things can't be taken seriously here
Peace

But Linux guys don't doing it so directly. Does Microsoft have really lost grip of reality? Gosh, there is NOTHING original in all these screenshots.
My pick is that Longhorn is next WindowsME.
Hmmmm, I won't call OS X UI 'eye candy', it is very useful, when are you used to it. Microsoft, in this situation, however simply copies some of graphical features, don't even try to understand why are there in OS X.

Congrats to KDE and QT teams!
Well, yeah, but if you think journalist published wrong/unchecked facts, go and take it down trough court. Not this way.
Maybe the big reason why iPod is popular because it looks very cool and yet in same time - very simple. People JUST want to listen to the music. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Maybe because those 'fanboys and flamebaiters' are usually teens who are just like...very emotional? :)
To ruin your propably already planned travel to East, China has already adopted software patents (or is on it's way to do it, can't find a correct statement googling thought). So there is not much countries left to hand it.

Sorry about my rant, it is just really sad.
