So, be sure to watch next year's elections for furry white mice. There are already plenty of rats in politics, would a couple of mice really make a difference?
Betcha they don't. The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like operating system which is free software: the GNU system. (GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix"; it is pronounced "guh-NEW".) Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the kernel Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often referred to as "Linux", they are more accurately called GNU/Linux systems. They do now.

Good posters copy.sigs. Great ones steal. I presume that's from the 'Good artists copy, great artists steal' Picasso quote? I had that text as my background for about a year, only recently changed it;) Bit of random information for you there...
Do they make one for those of us with adult size fingers? The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To order a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your palm now.
things offering music to download and you have to pay, I either want to buy the CD or download it (although prefer downloading). At least buying the CD you get something you can feel and look at for your cash.
Already, microsoft and a slew of other compeditors have jumpped on the same bandwagon (pun not intended) How could you have typed it and not intended to?
Wow, a new/. low. A one-line comment saying "I couldn't have put it better myself" tagged onto a cut-and-paste parent post gets modded as "+1 Underrated".
I couldn't have put it better myself. I couldn't have put it better myself.
You know that when you call for a boycott and then link to the silly rant on gnu.org you're just like a Jehova's Witness?
My question to you is: why are you so obsessed with Amazon? Is it really that hard for your GNU-soul to accept that companies make products fundamentally to make money - not to "serve the public" or whatever.
If you have a complaint, direct it at the USPTO - not to a company who's just using the legal loophole. I couldn't have put it better myself.
Or you could purchase from a store that doesn't support a ridiculous software patents. (From the link you posted): Boycott Amazon! Why would I want to? It has given me great service for many years, should I care if they fill in stupid patents? I'd rather they didn't, but it won't stop me shopping there.
Automating UNIX and Linux Administration will focus on automating the tedious daily tasks of system administration. It will provide real-world examples and explore the existing tools that will help with this task. Although the book will provide brief overviews of tools and technologies that are covered, the author will assume the reader knows how to edit a configuration file or mount a file system. The book will focus on putting these tools to use in the real world, such as how to use a set of Perl scripts to manage your user accounts across 1000 machines. It will not show you how to write a basic 'Hello World' program in Perl nor contain a Perl function reference or summary.
The techniques, methods and tools covered in this book will help on a single system, but will be much more useful across multiple systems. Whether you are managing 2 or 5,000 systems, whether they are desktops, servers, or a Beowulf cluster, you will benefit from this type of automation. Although some of the book will be Linux-specific, most of it will apply to any UNIX system. The book will also focus on automating tasks across multiple variants of UNIX. (Kudos to Amazon.com)
Of course I would. Which would you rather have, a lawyer who sued who you told her to sue, or a lawyer who used her own judgement on who was worth sueing. You want a lawyer who follows orders. In fact, I'd rather have a lawyer who won a case against a 12-year-old than one who lost it because that's probably a damn good lawyer. The English neutral is 'his'.
The lawyer profession is still alive and well, isn't it?;) Well... sort of. Once the lawyers that work for RIAA have stopped working for them, they'll probably find it harder to get work. Would you want to employ a lawyer that sued a 12 year-old for downloading music?
Think again, this is scaring everyone around me into going out and buying CD's or purchasing rights to the music (mp3's) online Then why has the number of filesharers gone up?

Since when has Slashdot been a Linux website?
Betcha they don't.

I guess we'd better sprint down to the store before they're sold out!

To an artical mobiletrack.com had when Handspring were showing it off.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the first time that Apple ports software to Windows?!
Does it matter when we have Samba
