I think the inevitable is taking place - the man on the street is seeing ever decreasing cost on the consumer technology items and it's cheaper to just run out and buy a new item than try to repair the old stuff, no one is learning the guts of the new technology and the result is our dependence on low cost retailers to keep our communications, entertainment and home needs met.
I'm starting to understand the dinosaur's like book publishers and music industry moguls. They're just making their last stand look good.
Cmdr Taco! - since when is a blog entry news????!!!
I was acting normal - management was acting strangely... Walter do you have the firewall password? (No) Walter do you have the backup logs? (Yes) Walter can you come and meet for the SQL meeting? (I thought we had decided against SQL!!!) Enough alarm bells yet? And nothing freaks them out worse than standing in front of the shredder for a week before the "meeting" and gleefully shredding useless documents.
I've loaded the Suse release 8.1 pro
on Dell laptops - no issues other than the
panel display wasn't detected the xfconfig
for the neomagic - lots of web support for
it. If you're wondering about the Dell website
not listing Linux, call them direct and if the
sales drone can't help, have them escalate.
I find you can usually get what you want by
whining and snivelling.
Dell has a vendor relationship with Red Hat that means they test the hardware with RH Linux to make sure it works. RH also gets a heads up to hardware changes and vice versa. A true hardware software symbiosis, in the muck that is corporate computing.
I just checked and Nader's site is fine from Canada too! http://www.votenader.org/issues/index_home.php
I found one website that reported 71% of Canadians
wanted Kerry - are we that different than the US?
Technology will be more and more pervasive in the governments "accreditation" programs. Passports
and DL are just the start - wait until DNA profiling
is portable. It's up to the citizens to hold the
government accountable for their use of this information. After Canada's purchase of the British
(crap) subs - now I really think we have to hold
these people responsible. It has to be an open system. Open source!
Rob,
The media and UNIX/Linux boosters have been developing/promoting UNIX variants as a competitor to MS desktop OS's.
Are UNIX and it's variants destined to have a significant share of the commercial desktop, or is it a compromise and will always be a small share (but doing most of the work!) OS compared to the star-studded MS lineup? What further steps do OS developers have to take to bring it to every desktop?
Re:One of the unfortunate things about Apache...
on
Hardening Apache

· Score: 1
The money invested in a product that bundles
Apache is well spent ie: SUSE pro
I haven't seen many breaches of the
out of the box - patched SUSE machines.
There's definitely room for misadventure
on a manual install....
The Governments are in big biz pockets. Heaven forbid something that's stable and works should make it onto their desktops for free. Thats what taxpayers are for!!!
I tried online tax payment 3 years ago with Linux and Netscape. I had higher encryption levels than required but couldn't connect. Government help desk drone states, " Ummm, whats Linux?" Tried again last week, different drone - same
comment.

yah I remember teletypes, god I'm old!!!
Let's see now - 3$ X 50 and some 10$ cases = watch out Mr. Dell!! Does cLinux do X windows?
About 2 seconds on re-heat should do it....

Not sure if 8.1 shipping is relevant but it was sent to me within 3 days via overnight express. Anything more is worth a followup call methinks...
Check out the RBC link in the parent item, there's a link to the careers section. Should be some openings....
uptime 67 days here - MS? nope
