I've never seen anyone espouse a connection between India's caste system and the U.S. education system before. Would you be willing to expand on your claim?
Thanks for the smart ass reply, it's typical of someone who considers themselves a Linux "power user".:::thumbsdown:::
I have the screen in my lt working, I shifted over to a generic LCD@1024x768. I also have the ATI Video card working however I still do not have the AirForce 1 integrated B/G card working. Since you're so smart perhaps you could tell me where to find a 64Bit driver that I can use with ndiswrapper? (Don't say my Windows Install cd either, my LT came with an AMD Turion64 and it didn't ship with Windows 64 bit)
My point was, and is, that no matter how great SuSE is it doesn't always "just work" as the reviewer stated it does. If you can't handle a little nitpicking about a distro perhaps you should grow some thicker skin.
FYI I fixed-up a Radeon 9500 Pro under OpenSuSE using the ATI installer about 2 weeks ago...worked great. Perhaps you should TRY something before you blindly accept everyone elses opinion on it?
Responses, and attitudes, like yours are what turn new Linux users off. If you didn't have anything of value to say you should have just scrolled right by my post rather then stopping to drop a wheelbarrel load of negativity and bullshit.
Your ardor will cool when you try and install it onto an HP ze2000z with AMD Turion.
My screen doesn't work right (won't adjust over 800x600 without fragging up) and my built in Broadcom B/G wireless doesn't work at all.
On the upnote it absolutely SCREAMS when you install the 64 bit version...which would be nicer if you could see what you were doing and connect to the network while you were doing it.
I'd just like to briefly comment on this line "Unfortunatly they aren't allowed to sell "naked systems" because Microsoft says that encourages piracy(not true.. they just don't want you to install a competing OS)"
I don't think that it's to keep people from installing a competing OS, I think it's too prevent people from installing their _OLD_ OS!
A lot of people refresh hardware faster then MS releases new versions of Windows, their strategy in this instance helps keep those people from just installing their previous version of Windows onto their new computer.
Thank you for writing that! For just a minute there in the middle of your rant I was once again a kid with a new VIC-20 and an immensely exciting new world to explore and conquer.
Here is a startling revelation for you, Fedora Core 4 sucks serious ass.
Our primary penguinhead at the office has spent weeks trying to get various wireless cards working on his laptop with FC4...and those same cards worked on FC3!
I can take those same cards and slap them into my laptop loaded with Ubuntu and go...no issues and no pain.
I can take most of those same cards and slam them into my laptop with Suse 9.1 pro and go...no issues and no pain.
I've built a dozen or so servers with FC and more then a few desktops and I've reached the conclusion that Fedora Core sucks, every release makes it WORSE too. If FC was all I had to use in the way of *nix systems I'd probaby hate *nix as well.
Make your life happier, move to a different distro.
I hate to disappoint you, but I can significantly change the barrel rifling that creates those bullet striatations with a rat tailed file...in under 90 seconds.
A database of "bullet signatures" would not only be useless but create yet ANOTHER government agency in order to track them all.
If you truly think that "religious extremists" are the problem you're even more nuts then they are.
The REAL problem is that our society does not LIKE smart people, it prefers jocks.
It starts in grade school with the teasing of the "smart kid" and progresses through High School where large football players with brains the size of walnuts play whack-a-mole with kids half their size and three times their intellect.
When we become adults are we, defined as popular society, more interested in learning about the latest advance in Physics or what Brittney Spears had for breakfest?
Religous extremists are NOT the reason our education system is failing nor are they the reason that we are producing fewer and fewer talented, motivated, and intelligent Scientists and Engineers.
THE answer is all around us, and it is IS us...it's society stupid.
BTW, my father-in-law is a devout Christian and an AWESOME Advanced Placement Physics instructor at the local high school.
I'm "on the ground" so to speak, living ATOP the facilities that pull this stuff (Coal, CBM, LNG, LP, and Ur) from the ground.
We are NOT out of energy, not even close.
We _may_ be at peak oil, but we HAVE other resources.
So we run out of refined oil, gasoline, to drive our cars...big deal. We fire up Nuke plants to create hydrogen and we switch our automobiles over to that. Life moves on.
If you think for one second that the governments, and people, of the world will let society entirely collapse due to a lack of Oil you are NUTS.
As I said before, I strongly reject all of the chicken littles with their doomsday predictions.
I live in Wyoming, there is more natural gas in the ground here then we can pump out.
There are two reasons that we are "struggling" to get it out of the ground and to the market.
First, there are a lot of environmental laws in the way. I'm not arguing for them or against them here, it's wayyy beyond the scope of this discussion. It will have to suffice to say that a lot of drilling and pumping is being blocked by environmental regulation.
Second, we suffer from a lack of pipeline capacity to get it from the well heads to the hubs where it is sold. This one is being fixed as we speak, the state itself is backing a major pipeline project to address this transportation deficiency.
We are NOT out of natural gas, nor will we be anytime soon. I don't care what the reports say because I talk directly to the exploration and drilling engineers...who convienently enough are located one floor down from me in my office building.
Oil, and by extension refined gasoline, is a slightly different story. However I'd like to say that as the price of a barrel of oil comes up recovery methods that were once cost ineffective are now going to be used.
We may well be past peak oil production but the progression from here will be linear and will not create sharp increases in price or decreases in production.
Other energy sources, such as CBM (coal bed methane), Natural Gas and Coal itself are not at peak and they won't be for several hundred years.
There is enough uranium in them thar hills to fire enough nuke plants to last from now until doomsday, we just need to find the national will to use it.
The energy we need does exist and I strongly reject all the doomsday scenarios being tossed out by the chicken littles of the world.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Tbird does not have the behavior you describe on any of the three Windows systems I have. Two XP Pro + SP2 and one Win 98 and they all work perfect.
On the two Win XP boxes it's even installed alongside Office 2K3.
It doesn't have that behavior on my Suse 9.2 Pro or either of my two Ubuntu boxes either.
I'm not saying that the problem isn't Tbird, I'm just saying that you may want to look further...

It's been this way since about forever now, and I mean that. You've been able to buy Excel seperately since Excel was originally released!
Well gee, if you're going to be ruling the world...could ya' take a minute or so and fix the dupe problem?
:-D
Then you wouldn't have to read the article again(!) sometime in the mysterious future...oh and bump my karma up some!

I like SuSE but it doesn't always "just work".
Ahem!
:-D
We have *503,000* people!
I have DSL, 3MB / 896k for $45 per month through Qwest. Cable modems are also available for about $40 and offer 3mb/640k.
Apparently every server I know of for grabbing the .torrent is on fire. Anyone have a a non /.'ed link to the live/install DVD torrent?
Ahhh but Bill O'Reilly isn't a newscaster, he has his own OP-Ed show is all.
The NEWS ITSELF at Fox News is pretty balanced IMHO, it's just the "commentary" shows that tend to be right wing in nature.
Perhaps killing a good chunk of the planets human population is the point and your question of "Should we?", has already been answered?!
Most European peoples, and their descendants, have immunity (hopefully)...how about people of Middle Eastern descent?
I'm not saying, I'm just saying...

Wow,
Thank you for writing that! For just a minute there in the middle of your rant I was once again a kid with a new VIC-20 and an immensely exciting new world to explore and conquer.
Hey, would you be willing to invest thirty minutes in self education? If you would, do yourself this favor:
Call the five largest power plants in your area and ask them the following two questions:
1) What fuel are you using?
2) Where did it come from?
I think you will be "enlightened" by the answer.
I'll sign out as Podunk, Wyoming.
Ahhh, I assumed the FQDN check actually used DNS...that's what I get for assuming. :-)
Since you seem to be the original author, congratulations, it's a well written and easily followed piece.
Thanks for replying!
That's a pretty good article that you referenced!
The only change I would do is to swap lines 6 & 7, why should you do an FQDN check against a hostname that cannot be valid?
6 reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
7 reject_invalid_hostname,
Here is a startling revelation for you, Fedora Core 4 sucks serious ass.

If I had mod points I'd give them ALL to you. Your first point probably describes 90% our education systems woes.
;-)
We, as a society, do not value academic excellence or achievement and THAT is what is killing our education system.
I couldn't agree with you any more if you were paying me.

There is literally HUNDREDS of years of coal AND natural gas in the ground not 150 miles from where I am sitting.
Natural Gas production in the US has NOT peaked and NEITHER has coal production.
We have options, messy ones maybe, but we do have them.
Yeah, that makes about as much sense as watching Fox News for the views of the "average American."
Your typical, bias that agrees with your opinion is GOOD but bias that disagrees with your opinion is BAD.
You view the would with the same absolutist eyes that Mr. Bush does, the only difference between you is your slant.
Mmmmmm, methinks I KNOW this A/C! He makes tasty, if overcooked, hamburgers! ;-)
