poking around netcraft you'll find that freebsd is growing at a decent rate. forget death, it's getting bigger having grown at a very high percentage rate in the past year.
Where is Q at when you need him? They can put a laser, saw, and cabling system in a watch but they can't put together a system to organize info on terrorists. Q could do it and make it look good.
The product buying is different now. Gen X is getting more into gadgets and Gen Y is finially starting to have their own money to buy. The end of Gen X and Gen Y have tech built into their everyday lives. They are more likely to buy things but things that look good and are useful in their everyday lives. Not so much on the novelty items.
Products that are functional in everyday life and that look good should do pretty well.
You make a good argument about usability. The BSDs don't make it easy. They say, read the manual. I am a BSD guy more than a linux guy. Also, OS X has made it easy to turn on services rather than have them all on out of the box. In the settings with the check of a box you turn on or turn off services such as file sharing (samba), sshd, ftpd, etc.
Maybe linux needs to come up with an easy way to manage security. That is one of the apple things is that your system is a tool.... should be easy to use to do the things it needs to do and do it well. Linux has not adopted the easy to use part of that.
You are refering to 'decent' linux setups. How many people have what you would refer to as a 'decent' linux setup. Windows could have a 'decent' security setup but most people don't go there. Linux needs the security to rock out of the box if it is to continue it's mainstream grouth without running into the problems windows has.
The signal penetrates your skin a very small amount. It is a measurable level but very small. The signal does not get down to the level of living tissue.
With cell phones there is a small amount of radiation but....
Your outer skin is dead and acts as a great resistor. The signal does not get through your dead outer skin to the inner living skin to mutate it. Every cell phone goes through tests on this.
Older cell phones did not look into this and there were problems. This is one reason they can't ramp up the power level in the cell phones to improve your signal.
Many people do. Most people are not tech savvy. My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters would expect them to work. Most people are none the wiser still and that is who it works on.
So, the MPAA is putting comercials in the movies, sueing people that might help support the effort for movie sharing. Are they hurting for money????? I have not seen any reports on it.
So, is there a way to reform that indusrty? Or, are we just screwed. Will it become like tv where the movies get shorter just to make room for more comercials and how long until there are comercials in the middle of movies?
Ya know... in the US we have slower bandwidth than most of the other tech countries of the world. It's not for lack of the fiber being there. It's more controls on the speeds so when they increase it a little we compare it to ourselves not what else is out there.
Glad to see someone using some of it for somethign productive.
Oracle may be a giant but competition does many things. Keeps prices down, drives innovation to be better than the alternative, etc. With peoplesoft not the competition, who will be Oracles competition? If there is no other big dog out there then the customer will loose.
Without competition, then there is no reason to get better and what sets the price.
It depends on the job. If you are going to get a CS degree make sure you learn good software arch as well as good software coding. On many programs being just a hacker won't cut it. You need to know how to arch good software that is fault tollerant, reliable, quality and is testable. Many times this does not happen so if you can do this you will have a leg up when you get into the field and are selling points. There is a big difference in a software architect and a hacker/programmer
Since these stem cells were not from an embrio it shows that maybe the Republicans stance woun't kill stem cells from doing good. Enbrios are not the only place the get them from. Maybe the Republicans will get to have their cake and eat it too.
Web development on a mac if you do it right makes no diff than on a pc. Problem is most web developers have very poorly coded pages. If they are right they should show up fine in any browser. I know mine all do and so do my friends who develop on a mac.

January 2005: The stone is rolled away and behold the might FreeBSD has raised from the dead.
We will just have to wait and see. If it comes in a sleek package that's 6 1/2 inches by 2 inches then we will know.
ok, so i followed the wrong bleeping link. i think it's time for a break.

wow, there are little to no posts... /.ers are really rtfa
I wonder what happens if you eat the paint chips? Does your body become impervious to those evil signals. No more need for the tin foil hat.
So, it blocks an 802.11 signal. Wouldn't this mean that cordless phones would be blocked also. What about cell phones or old fashioned radios?
This might me more of a pain than a solution
It already exists and is called OS X

expect the unsubscribe link to work?

Could this possiblly kill blue tooth? Is blue tooth the next BSD?

I talk to my PC all the time...if you consider swearing at it and yelling profanity at it talking to it.
Maybe that is what Gimp is. The Beast to the pay-to-play competition.

This would be great for technical manual writing. Help you take pictures of the mechanicla interfaces.
