Yes this is a problem. Yes it should be taken care of. We already have some laws against this (harrassment)
But I have a problem, particularly school justice. It isn't there. The teachers and administration do what they want, students have few rights, and little recourse.
I know of many people who have been suspended or expelled on accusations that I know aren't true. The principal of my old high school bragged how he was above the law. He could suspend or expell a student if he felt like it. He didn't need any proof of anything. If you brought it to the school board, they wouldn't act "We stand behind our principals"
We have a law against smoking on school property, he suspended students smoking "in sight of the school".
This is overstepping yoru bounds, and it is wrong.
The schools overstep their bounds, and are the bigger bullies.
This is pretty good, at current exchange rates this is $12-14/hr US. Flex hours, 2 year contract. Looks like a decent opportunity for someone paying their way through school or something.
I like debian because in stable they don't take risks. My OS isn't a toy to play with, it is just something that lets me run my applications.
I had the same debian/stable box for about 4 years, it died. Put the drive in a new machine, rebuild the kernel and I'll probaly run the same install for another 4 years. That's a good thing.
Okay so all the dumb companies that sell a product below cost will go under. The companies that sell at a sustainable rate will survive. In perfect competition, there is no profit. We're getting pretty close for long distance.
Go ahead do it. Many people are working on a few alternatives. Some seem quite nice.
For me X is okay, it works with my apps, it looks nice.
I find it odd that X is so terrible and so unusable for many people, yet they haven't created a really usable alternative. I think mostly they are whiners who couldn't do any better. (Obviously those who ARE working on making something better aren't included in that group)
Fancy systems may or may not work, they may or may nto have nasty side effects.
The one that I think works best is simple.
Eat less and healthier, get some excercise, and drink water.
Few points, it is cheaper then most systems. It is probaly cheaper then your current unhealthy diet. Drinking enough water, or excercising alone are going to improve your health.
Much of our knowledge is stored in calculation programs. (VB, and excel). It is also stored in simple excel based databases.
Word is really quite underutilized, and you can print to pdf. Most of the time this is static information, which has little value. It is the calculation programs, and lists with the real information.

Yes the Amiga should be on that list, the others, I don't really agree with.
But you might be forgetting is this is someones list. It isn't the end all and be all of lists, go ahead make your own, write an article about it.
I find it funny that so many people will get all riled up over what a single person wrote.
What assets were purchased.
What assets were not.
If they did not purchase the music, or the copyright to the music archive someone could simply copy it.
Alternatively if the mp3.com business model worked, why not just start up another. If it didn't work, it should die anyway.
What would they tax?
what email?
Locally generated and delivered messages?
Private email that only ever exists on my home network?
When it bounces throught a server (ISP mailbox -Home server- email client)
Instant messaging?
By size?
Weblog messages?
Then the biggest problem, how to tax these people who we don't know, can't find, and can't prove did it in the first place.

I didn't say high school.
Diplomas and degrees are quite different, and the salary spread doesn't suggest this is accounted for.
Just because the job asks for something doesn't mean you need it. It is just a wishlist of what someone would like.
I'd love to have someone with a doctorate do the work on some of my more involved projects, but I can get by with some hardworking students.

Maybe source patches make sense?
Linux isn't perfect. By design, the implementation, or the way people admin their machines.
There is an understanding that MS is also not perfect. People expect security holes, and bugs and crashes.
I think it is good that this might result in a nice list of where linux has gone wrong in the past, and what hurdles to overcome in the future.
If the competition wants to make you the "Build a better OS HOWTO" I think they should be as free as anyone to add to the LDP.

No I mean REAL Government unions.
Here the actual people working at government offices are in the UPE Union of Public Employees
Sorry.
The government unions aren't a free market.
They take my money, or I go to jail.
I have no control.
Just wait a few years.
If robots could cheaply and easily make commodities, we'd be doing it here now.
WE are working on it, but it isn't there yet.

Okay, if it bothers thens enough, they can.
1. Choose something else, be it console, MS Windows or GEOS.
2. Pay someone to fix it.
Sensible cut and paste is a bug, I want to view this URL, so I put the URL in the browser.
This make sense, I really hope that nobody starts removing features like this. I would appreciate a link indicating this desirable behaviour is a bug.
IE lets you drag and drop urls into the browser window.
Go ahead do it.

Why clear and paste into the URL bar.
Just paste the link into the browser window.
Works in galeon, probaly works in the others.
Just don't do this over an input box.
Really what else would you paste into a browser window.
Most people have terrible diets.
Fancy systems may or may not work, they may or may nto have nasty side effects.

I'm more concerned with excel.
Much of our knowledge is stored in calculation programs. (VB, and excel).
It is also stored in simple excel based databases.

Really I didn't know the US could sell stuff to Cuba.
They are violating their Linux license (the GPL), some copyright holders (namely IBM) are suing SCO for this action.
SCO has not yet violated the terms of their Samba licence (the GPL).
What is stoping someone from using GPL/BSD code in a closed source application.
GPL, unless they release the source it is illegal.
BSD, nothing. It is entirely legal and acceptable to "hijack" BSD code. Apple and MS have already done so, and admit to it.
No actually I don't.
I don't commit any copyright violations against RIAA.
Personal copies made by me for my own personal use are completely legal. We even pay a blank media tax to compensate the copyright holder.
They have accused the GPL of violating US export regulations.
Exporting to certain hostile regimes is illegal, the GPl permits it.
Linux High maintenance?
Only if you screw with it a lot.
The extent of my regular maintenance for the last few years is running apt-get to get security fixes.
Only occasionally a kernel upgrade.
I've found my linux machine needs much less work to keep it running smoothly then my windows machine, which starts acting weird every few months.
