A free version of suse pro has always been available its just being renamed to opensuse, if i member correctly, you had to download an iso and boot on that cd and install off the net.
I just hope they dont transfer control of decision making, on features to the community. Face it there has to be an authority with proven skills to be able to dictate what works in practical life and other wise
I purchased every version of suse pro from 8.0 as a personal show of support for the superb distro, I never had a problem with it.. If not for anything Reiserfs rocks !!, I yet have to see it break , had power failures , my kid pressing comp power buttons for play etc. still worked.
Obviously you never had a machine with unrecognized/new SATA or SCSI controller chips, I believe the only way to load drivers for these is thru Floppies (Windows only) , Linux works happily:)
The best match I've had from MSN search is when i typed "google" in a msn search box went to google and then did my search;-) partly because am soo lazy as to change IE default page to google *smile*
Why would anyone think an intel/apple would be a threat to Linux ???? comparing apples to oranges , this is a direct challenge to AMD and to none other
Usually financial companies like this feel its a waste to pay a good experienced sysadmin to keep their shit secure.
Its only recently that all companies have started adopting IT as part of thier Business Model.
all of this to defend ASP? Pffft , any language can be squandered due to sloppiness of a programmer.
Restricting programmer sloppiness from within a Language should be none of the languages business, it rather should be the programmers supervisor. For the last 4 commercial web projects i have built and sold , PHP has let me do everything i need from generating PDF's, dynamic graphics, menus,DB interfaces to a bunch of vendors etc etc . And the code reusability is awesome , once you have the framework any application is just a few copy paste links away .
However said i still hate JAVA, reminds me of a PS2 emulator for DOS , dont ask me why.I fail to see why C++ is not considered code and compile on any platform, seriously GCC is available on 20+ platforms and am sure all supported and required libraries are too.
Yeah yeah binary compatibility rt ? Java is not actually binary either , has to be interpreted by the local parser .
whats wrong with./configure , make , make install ? and its atleast a zillion times fast than java
I couldnt help noticing that Gigabyte had "patent pending" on it the sobs,3DFX the VOODOO 5 had this technology 4 years ago,doesnt make sense, it would have been a mature technology by now, apparently Nvidia decided it was not to be undercut and slowly reinventing the wheel now .
Bring back VooDoo. Its like digesting the mother of all graphics cards and spitting out yellow looking blobs..SOBs
aargghhh
It is but a fraction of what US owes china ..

Offshoring IT
·
· Score: 0
Wonder why this doesnt get metioned as much, offshoring IT jobs are like a fraction of what US is paying to the outside world, consider the huge debt US is in to china for everything from silverware to computers...
I guess it is important because immediate lifestyle,Beemers,luxury houses is given higher attention rather than droves of small business , production factories losing out to low cost chinese strangulation , the effect is more permanent, and US dependency is sealed.
Its totally biased like everything else..
Any country which leaves physical production of primary goods to other countries is not a good sign, consider the simple case of flu vaccinations one company somewhere in UK got shutdown and US had no flu vaccine.
With respect to producing something physically, i feel IT jobs are ethereal, you do have to question what ur producing.. i am not complaining being a software engineer myself..
I just wish peeps would stop arguing about offshoring production / jobs and take some steps to stop it..
aHH crap am rambling...with no end in sight..
I've used suse9.1 for quite a while now and have no complaints about the fonts,
my only grumble would be mozilla seems to use it own fonts which look crude. But am sure there must be a way to make it use suse fonts.

Code Reusability != "copy-paste"
You know what i meant, tryin to make a point eh ?
