You're putting.rpm kernels on a server! are you on crack? It's (barely) acceptable on a workstation, but on a server it's just short of absolute stupidity. and asking for a link to one on slashdot is past stupidity and into luser-dom.
Hand-compiling a kernel not only enhances performance, it reduces the number of potential problems in a kernel.
Asking for a link to an.rpm is beyond dumb....
Sure here's my link : http://www.rootsrus.net/kernel-2.4.14.rpm.
In plain english what this means is that you can't do with copyrights what is done with patents: submarine patents, where you let a whole bunch of people start to rely on something, then sue them... It's a valid quibble, but in normal practice I maintain my point. If the original poster had estoppel in mind, I'll eat my hat.
Sorry... misunderstanding. Mac desktops, linux servers.... well, my laptop dual boots Yellow Dog and OSX, but I'm a freak:). KDE's office suite does work under PPC-Linux however, so it is [barely] feasible
He's obviously ignorant of a basic fact of copyright law: if you own a copyright, you must enforce it, or risk losing it. This was true long before the DMCA came alon
BZZZT. Wrong. You're thinking of trademarks. Copyrights don't have to be enforced.
If it's a relatively small office, switch over most of the boxes to Linux, and keep one or two to use as file conversion boxes. If something comes in that Star Office can't handle, use the WinXP box to convert the the file to something readable.
I'm not sure how much different this is than an office that doesn't upgrade to the newest and greatest Office is though. Before we switched to a Mac/Linux office, we had kept to Windows & Office 95 up to 1999. Occasionaly we sent documents back to suppliers requesting that they send us something we could read because the format was for Office 98, and Office 95 would choke on it.
Anyway, my only thought on the subject is extreme happiness that the people trying to mount the iPod as a hard drive on a linux machines will FINALLY after all these years, give us HFS+ support for linux that actually works. I've been waiting so long..
Dear lord I hope you're right. Maybe they'll get appletalk support both ways too! naah... It'll never happen.
Attention all PDA and phone manufacturers: we are sick and tired of carrying around a PDA and a phone. Got it? Put them together, preferably in a form smaller and lighter than a small boulder, and priced not too much higher than the two things separately. You'll be rich.
I wouldn't buy one for a darn good reason. I want my information at my fingertips, and my phone on my ear. I want to be able to listen to somebody while I enter the phone number that he/she is dictating to me. I actually *use* my palm, and I need to use it while on the phone.That is why there is virtually no market for such a device. IMNSHO
Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific. The CD boots... It's just to a blank screen. I've installed Yellow Dog Linux onto the machine, so I'm not a complete idiot but I want my apt-get!
I can confirm that. This is an issue for me as well. Good to know that it isn't something that I did wrong. Either that or both of us did the same dumb thing:)
I've been having problems booting from the debian ISO I burned using Toast...Is there a trick or did I do a booboo?
Yes, I have an iBook 2001, and I dual boot OSX and (currently) YellowDog Linux. Linux is useful for a number of things. and X10.1 is light years faster on my 128MB iBook than 10.0.4
If you are in favor of desecrating Old Glory, you have no business being in this country. Go to Afgahanistan, and join your ideological bedmates.
One of the beautiful things about America is that Americans are FREE enought to criticize their own country, government and symbols. The day you can't burn Old Glory is the day it ceases being worth saluting.
Okay, so you're saying since there's no unreasonable search and seizure, you're allowed to, say, buy a safe, hide things in there, and not open it even if there's a court order?
In a free society you have a choice of obeying a court order or facing the consequences (probably jail time). In an unfree society, you aren't given the choice. Should you also be forced to take truth drugs? Logical extensions of this argument get messy, quickly.
If Ogg Vorbis is supported by iTunes, then you get the style leaders using it, and they will like it . With the geeks, and the design types supporting it, you have a lock on what marketing types drool over; the trendsetters.
I just read the comments above, and the general tone surprised me. Once upon a time, slashdot readers would have talked about the tech, not talk about how dumb protesters are.
In the past twenty years, I've watched the change as police have become more and more likely to clamp down on protests. The black bloc is a response to police violence, not the cause of it. As an original black bloc-er circa 1989, I know why we started fighting back. It was due to police being more and more likely to use force to put down democratic protests. We were defending ourselves. In Genoa, there were some pretty serious allegations that the 'black bloc' doing property damage to small businesses etc. were provocateurs. That tells me that they are getting worried about the effectiveness of the black bloc, and want to discredit the movement.
Freedom is not easy folks. You have to be willing to fight for it.
We had neither a constitution nor bill of rights until 1980 -- they were controversial at the time and many Canadians still think them unnecessary.
And don't forget the notwithstanding clause, whereby the governement can pass a law that violates the Bill of Rights simply by invoking it. Canadians do not have any inviolate rights under our constitution. Another unforgivable act by Trudeau's Liberals.
My IS department is properly cynical about many Microsoft things, but as long as our accounting system runs under Windows, we really don't have much choice for the bulk of our desktops.
I've been saying for years that accounting is the killer app for linux. If you get the accounting department using linux, the rest of the company WILL follow. No ifs, ands or buts.

It is my understanding that the copyright law allows for non-commercial copying
Your understanding is wrong.

A lump of coal is about 2. I sold a piece of carbon that weighed about 0.025gms*, today for about $4500CDN. Form does make a difference.

Apple's rabid lawyers haven't forced them to take it down yet, therefore it can't be real

Another gun owning Canadian who is sick of the anti-gun lobby.

Nice to see that the people running the NYSE know how money works, and that linux is good value.
