Fedora 7 is released with a DVD iso. If you need the set of CD isos, sorry. You'll have to wait to see if anyone is nice enough to create them in the future. You can try to use the rescue cd and a network install, but again, you'll have to wait until the bandwidth opens up enough for that. So, either upgrade your computer or stick with FC6.
Why not download the DVD ISO and then extract all of the files from that ISO file to a directory on a local ftp or http server on your network? Then use the "network install" CD to boot your system and point the installer to your ftp or http server? That's the method I use when installing Fedora on systems at work. I burn only the small boot ISO to a CD. The rest of the install files sit on one of our servers. I have even installed Fedora on a home system by using the boot CD at home and then pointing the installer program at an http server back at work (we have more outbound bandwidth at work than I have inbound bandwidth at home via Road Runner).
He said it made him feel drunk. I think he was ~15 at the time. Keep in mind various things have different effects on people
Interesting...Xanax is from a family of drugs that is used to counteract anxiety. I can see the "relaxed" feeling from taking Xanax being similar to having a few beers. Xanax usually makes me feel like it's time for bed. Beer doesn't have that effect.:^)
Benzos can also be habit-forming so "playing around" with Xanax is probably not a good idea.
http://www.drugs.com/xanax.html
What is Xanax?
Xanax is in a group of drugs called benzodiazepines (ben-zoe-dye-AZE-eh-peens). Xanax affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety.
Xanax is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety caused by depression.
Xanax may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
into believing he had BPD to get a big Rx for Xanax.
What exactly does a person do with large quantities of Xanax? I've got some at home - I take it when I need help sleeping. I can't imagine how someone would abuse a drug that makes you sleepy.
Two people in a prison cell, me and you. In one hour the prison guard will come in and ask each of us for a password. No password means immediate execution. I have the password. You don't. It is in a cardboard box I have in the cell. You could look inside, but I tell you not to touch the box... because it's my box. Half an hour goes by, and you can't convince me to let you look inside the box. In 30 more minutes the guard will come. What would you consider doing ? And would you think I was being reasonable ?
Your metaphor is not an accurate analogy to the Merck situation because your analogy is saying that the drug that Brazil stole is the very last drug that mankind will ever need to have invented. Let's extend your metaphor a little bit to make it more accurate:
I steal the password from you. We both live through the night. The next day you brew some "prison wine" or whatever they call it. In order to make each batch of prison wine, you need to barter with other inmates for the raw materials like packets of sugar, raisins, whatever. You ask me if I'd like to give you a few dollars in return for part of the batch of prison wine. I decide that I'll just take your damn prison wine and drink it. You've invested money in sugar, raisins and other supplies but now your wine is gone. A day later, I get thirsty and I look at you. I say "Why are you making any wine today? I'm thirsty dammit! You can't just stop making wine (even if I don't pay you for it) - I really like it!"
Just as a side note, if they charged every country 65 cents a day they would recoup their costs and make a lot of money.
There are approx 1825 days until 2012 (let's just say five years from today). At $0.65 per day, that would come to $1186.25. What is that amount of money supposed to do? Are you on crack, were you going for a "Sally Fields"-related joke or did you mean to say something other than "$0.65 per day"?
1)Brazil is a poor country, and people are dying. Merck aren't going to go bust any time soon, since they charge a fortune in the developed world.
*Now* you know why hospitals charge $300 for an asprin. When someone without insurance comes to the hospital's ER, the other patients at the hospital will pick-up the cost for the uninsured patient. So, everyone who thinks that it's okay for Brazil to steal from Merck because the "developed world" will pick-up the difference, stop complaining when you see the $300 aspirin on your next bill.
Are you seriously saying Merck's right to price gouge in order to make its rich, fat, and wealthy shareholders even richer
Whoa there Nelly! Now you are dragging the investors into this mud-slinging contest. I happen to be an investor in healthcare companies and I am definitely not rich, fat and wealthy. If you want to complain about a company's "right" to make its shareholders "rich, fat and wealthy", why isn't anyone looking at why gasoline shot-up in price during the last couple of weeks? Why isn't the Slashdot Magnifying Glass of Truth scrutinizing the profit margin on gasoline? You can't tell me that gasoline magically got a lot more expensive to produce in the last couple of months.
Next question?
I work for a pretty good sized healthcare provider. I get to see a lot of different vendor's systems. Here are my questions:
1) Can we run your product inside a Citrix session (without sacrificing chickens, magic spells, eye of newt)?
2) Will your solution scale as we throw more clinics and hospitals at it?
3) Do you have robust security/auditing built into the product so we can easily track who is doing what and pass audits?
4) Is your system 8 x 5 or is it truly ready for 24 x 365? How do you implement HA for sites that are 24 x 365?
5) Do you require any special Java versions, ActiveX controls or other little pieces to be installed on our workstations which would interfere with another vendor's software (assuming we aren't using Citrix)?
t goes towards $3000 worth of treatment given to an uninsured person, as the hospital is required by law to do.
Amen! Amen! I was wondering when someone was going to get around to posting the truth about how the insured pay for the services that are rendered to the uninsured. Health care organizations "give away" a certain percentage of their services to uninsured or under-insured patients every year. The fancy hospitals in the suburbs that generate a healthy profit are being used to support the hospitals that serve the inner-city population.
Now look at the outlets: see how some are orange and others are not? That's so they can plug the important equipment into the UPS outlets, and the TVs and things into the non-UPS outlets.
Oh shit! Hold on... I'll be right back. <mutter>TVs *don't* go in the orange outlet. TVs *don't* go in the orange outlet.</mutter>
Having multiple versions of a file is *extremely* handy. That feature saved me bacon many-a-time. For those of you who have never been fortunate enough to login to a VMS system, the file versioning looks like this to the user:
scott_file.txt;5 scott_file.txt;4 scott_file.txt;3 scott_file.txt;2 and so on
The file version incremented each time you modified the file. You could set the number of file versions that the OS would keep for you. I don't remember the maximum number of versions of a file that you could keep but I remember seeing version numbers that were five digits wide. The version number wrapped after a while.
Thanks,

Why ask silly questions like "Does it store many copies of each file?" It's "COW" Copy on Write. What's next "When was the war of 1812?" "How many beers in a six-pack?" The South Pacific is the Southern part of which ocean?"
northern Europe and United States, areas where sunshine is at low levels for as much as nine to ten months out of the year.
Dude, I live in Wisconsin (there is just a weee little sliver of Michigan between WI and Canada) and it's not as light-deprived as you make things sound. Do you think we scurry around in the dark with flashlights like mole-people (except for June and July)?
Interesting sidebar: I was in Philadelphia recently on a work-related trip. On the way to the airport, the Philly cabbie asked me "Where are you from?" I had a feeling that "Milwaukee" probably wouldn't ring any bells with him so I tried "Wisconsin." He asked "Which coast is that on?":^) I thought to myself: "Ummm, just watch the road and get me to the airport so I don't miss my Midwest flight outta here."
1) on the internet every computer has a unique ip adres.
I would have to disagree with that statement. How do you explain multiple webservers sharing a single IP that are behind a load balancing device? What about anycast DNS? How about a single IP address that can be NAT'ed to multiple servers (port 80 goes to Server A, port 25 goes to server B, port 21 goes to Server C)? I'm sure there are other examples.
Take for example: dirt. Everybody has dirt. Nobody wants dirt. Demand/supply, the price should be zero.
Not true. There are people who don't have dirt and some of those people definitely want dirt. After I built my house, I found that the lot had very little good topsoil where I could plant trees or have a nice lawn. I paid a pretty penny to have 10-yard and 20-yard loads of dirt delivered to my house. Some or most of the cost is the "delivery" but the truth is that I didn't have "enough" dirt and someone else had extra dirt so money changed hands. The price of dirt is definitely not zero.
The company I work for uses Time Warner Business Class fiber
Did you mean Time Warner Cable or Time Warner Telecom? They are two distinct, competing carriers. Since you said "Business Class", I'm guessing that you meant Time Warner Cable. I haven't seen Time Warner Telecom use the "Business Class" label on any of their services.
As I remember it, there was a secondary worm, a "good" worm, that was intended to clean up infected machines if the users wouldn't/couldn't themselves.
This worm is also designed to patch systems against the RPC DCOM Buffer Overflow. It first checks for the running Windows version and then downloads a patch from Microsoft. Note, however, that this worm does not have a mechanism which checks for the required service pack needed to install the patch. Thus, on systems where the required service packs are not installed, the downloaded patch are similarly left uninstalled.
I'm saying it is nonsensical to claim that you can design a building that can withstand a plane crashing into it.. and that a building falling down after a plane crashes into it is a perfectly reasonable thing for a building to do.
The WTC buildings were designed to withstand the force of a plane crashing into them. The guy who designed the buildings has said so on-camera. Straight from the horse's mouth. Also, the buildings did withstand the force of the planes that crashed into them on 9/11. The WTC buildings did not topple over seconds after the impact the jets. The tops of the building were not sheared-off by the force of a huge jet traveling at full speed. The WTC buildings absorbed the force of the impact and continued to stand long enough for some people (but not all) to evacuate from the building.
As for why the WTC towers fell an hour after the planes impacted the buildings, I do not know. You ask "why haven't ALL of the structural engineers in the world come forward to expose the conspiracy?" Well, some people have examined the data and proposed that the buildings did not fall due to the impact of the planes:
We may never know the exact reason why the WTC towers fell but your assertion that "it is nonsensical to claim that you can design a building that can withstand a plane crashing into it" is quite a different problem. You are saying that it is impossible for skyscrapers to be designed to accommodate that sort of impact. That's painting with a pretty wide brush. You are saying that, ignoring any conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 for a moment, no one anywhere can design a building to meet those specifications. One Slashdotter against ALL of the architects and structural engineers in the world. You should probably produce some very good math at this point to back up your claims.
