it's a very funny story from Eric Raymond about a MS recruiter.
I am a recruiter who only works off of word of mouth from friends and former consultants. no spam, no pesky telemarketing. As well I have been trying to develop a system for linuxrecruiting.org out of my own pocket (NFP). We recruiters are not all pimps and pests. some of us have a few skills and don't search buzz words and pester busy managers to turn the next trick.
most of my music on my iPod I own on CD, or vinyl and I buy my CD's from a local privatively owned shop.
I can't help it I believe in supporting local businesses as much as I can with out hurting my pocket to much.
I have the whole Hüsker Dü catalog on perfectly clean vinyl and the equipment to record it to any digital format I like. It's on my iPod, and I don't have the receipts from when I bought it in the 80's and it's not on any database. I guess I'm hosed when it comes to
"2) Law suites by the RIAA, after they check your name vs. the songs that you actually bought."
I wish I gave more of a crap about the RIAA but I just don't brake the law.
So reading this string bashing people who run Linux on there iPod.
Am I the only duffus who actually installed Linux on there iPod?
I don't use it (much), and it's not taking up enough room to worry about deleting it.
I have not even put a thought into the PoC of this Virus.
[sarcasm on]
who actually has anything to gain from this virus besides Apple? The AV company's can't even stay current with the products they have now let alone adding a MP3 player or 2.
OR!!
Maybe it's a M$ sponsored terrorist activity to inject FUD into the massive potential of iPodLinux market? I mean you know with the Zune thing, right?
I think if I my mother was going to use it that there would need to be better contrast and cleaner fonts. other than that I think it is going to be a real player in the market. with an open community I'm sure that there will be all kinds of cool toys and gadgets made for the Moco phone but I'm not sure that someone like my mother would know about them or try to install them on the phone.
I'm sure that the phone will be offered with a few skins and someone has thought about people like my mom.
it's about half way down the page. there is a pic on the page
Tempest, Atari Inc., 1981. The first Atari game to utilize a color vector display, Tempest featured surrealistic 3-D wireframe graphics. The game was inspired by a dream of the designer's and was an instant hit. Interest in Tempest has remained strong as evidenced by the recently acclaimed Tempest 2000 for the Atari's defunct 64-bit Jaguar multimedia system, the popular Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation, and personal computers.
producing bio-D creates toxic waist and needs methoxide (Lye and methonal) to crack the oil into the glycerin and bio-D and then you have to do something with glycerin laced with the CH3O-
the gasses from methoxide are very nasty stuff and you are efectivly removing about 1/3 of the whole oil.
you can run your car on waste vegetable oil (WVO) of straight vegetable oil (SVO) so if farmers are being paid to not grow then that land could be used to produce an oil crop and if dosent have to be an etable oil crop. Rapeseed oil A.K.A. Canola oil can be farmed to prodce quite a bit of fuel and it's one of the better oil to use in a diesel. it reduces NOx and CO at the tail pipe and the carbon produced in the burning of *VO is part of a loop (the plants grown to produce the CO will absorbe the CO in there growing)
here is a good resorse http://www.greasecar.com/tech.cfm.
there is no sulpher in VO so their is little if any SO2 being released into the air.
both NOx and SO2 are componits of Acid rain.
VO is the way to go bio-d is good too but VO allows one to use all the oil with little to no waste and less polution.
the guy who took his family on the road trip was braging on greasecar forum and now it's lord godwin (DIEbrid) who is taking the credit
this who thing is a farce!
GOD this is becoming a joke and the death of running your car on VO.
the EPA is going to end-up bitch slaping a few of us who do run on WVO because of idiots like godwin.
godwin and others need to get things pushed thru the EPA before they seek the 15 min of fame, so they don't screw over the whole grease movment.
(from what I understand) the fribrid system for the suburban is enginered with a flaw that mounts the tank between two flexabl parts of the body and it ends up stressing the VO tank to the point of rupture. (just an FYI) as well the whole system is over complicated and way far away from the KISS princaple.
running a diese on VO is not rocket science (after all Rudolph Diesel actualy built the firsd diesel engine and ran it on Biomass!)

If anybody from Kodak is reading this I have wanted to see a driver for the DVC 325 camera under Linux for the last 7 years.
Is anybody Listening?
Now you have a free developer.
In Puerto Rico A moco is a booger. Crossing Greek and Spanish language would only happen on /.
I like it.

SSH would be cool!
If Amoco can make it in Puerto Rico then Open Moco can make in the world, I hope.
I'm actualy very happy with the neo office port of OO for os X

No, VBA in OO.org on a linux box.
I know of one company who will suffer from not having MySQL on Debian support.
A rather large ISP that is a Debian shop.
The guy who designed the email system is a friend of mine and told me that he is using Debian for licencing reasons. (something about the GPL)
I think that it's because it keeps costs down.
When I hear from him about new things he is doing, I always ask, did you send at least a donation to the project?
I think it is money that will keep companies like MySQL supporting many flavors of Linux.
I am a Debian user myself and I use MySQL
I'll be here holding my breath.
Can some one tell me how good it is?
MS flexes it's all powerfull VBA code by holding out on Mac, I guess they don't like the commercial about running office.
Call to arms!
let's change the standard to something Open and not controlled by one company. (Evil or Not)
I hate to be a mactard but you have never used anything other than windows.
try a mac.
I guess if you are upgrading from win 95 (with stolen reg #) to Vista with a hacked reg server, you have never woken up.
