BAH,
Who needs a kernel when you can just direct program the EEPROM to do your bidding? Why bother with making things relate more towards how people think?
I would check out zypper again. They reworked its solver for both reliability and speed. Looking at the alpha/beta level movies that they linked to showed me how much better it is. I plan on installing it to my test server by this weekend.
Not to mention, with the 1 Click Install feature, you can also set up the repository for the application you found online very easily. If you install the 3 most popular repos you have nothing to search for that you cannot find right from YaST(within reason).
They give MORE than Ubuntu does. Ubuntu works off of the hard work of the Debian team and enhances UI look and feel. The underpinnings are worked on the Debian and the kernel hackers, et al. Novell is one of the biggest contributers to the kernel, Gnome, KDE and.... THEY are part of the Open Invention Network, who strive to PROTECT F/OSS users from patents.
It is not Microsoft anything, anymore than Dell, HP and Acer are MICROSOFT companies. Novell signed a much maligned agreement for patent protection and inter-operation. You are showing your ignorance.
Odd:). I got called a humorless dick by some not long ago and got a bunch of -1s. Oh well. Thanks:). I don't know where that came from. Oddly, and TOTALLY coincidentally, my wife is pregnant with our first child. Wow, just all kinds of ironic, eh?
The problem is he thinks that the GPL is a suggestion. This is his problem. The GPL is not "Hey, we'd really like it if you did this." It is a shield and a sword. He can try to not open up the changes that they make, but then we can demand, based on the license that he agreed to in using the GPL code, that they hand over what they used/modified.
I have been to Europe and have seen cars that are considered "mid sized" by their standards. My wife and I went on a trip for 2 weeks and rented a car that was "mid sized" according to the rental place. It was a Fiat Panda, and when I finally moved the passenger seat back enough to where my legs were not crushed by the dash, you could barely fit a fist between the back of my seat and the rear seat behind me. I am 6'2 as well and not heavy. Sure, I could stand to lose 20lbs, but on my frame, It is not noticeable. In the US, the panda, with its anemic motor and small wheels, as well as tiny frame would be a compact. While I do see American cars and even Japanese cars for the US market going larger and larger, I realize it is unnecessary. We don't need to have easy chairs for seats. Maybe then we would not drive 4 blocks and walk instead. However, I think that the cramped little EU cars are not exactly endearing.
Realize this. You, from what it seems, have never driven in the US. You have no idea about our weather conditions nor our roadways and design. If you think a civic is a big car, even their euro wagon, you have very little understanding of cars in the US. You think that the tires on a BMW 3 series are big.... Have you ever even seen truck tires (No, not delivery trucks, pickup trucks)? The other thing is, while European people are very accustomed to being treated like sardines in tiny hatchbacks, Americans have not. They are reluctant to give up the room of even our 5 seaters compared to yours. The 3hr drive you discussed being easy for 5 people would have made everybody in the US insane with discomfort by the time you reached your destination.
The directional nature of it would be in regards to the fact that collateral losses and unintended victims would be the issue. I see no problems with something with the "power" of a nuclear weapon being in the hands of the sane and intelligent people around me. I have a problem with the government having arms that the citizens cannot. That is tyranny.

Talk to me about light being efficient when you get stuck in the snow and some heavy ass tow truck drags your smugmobile out of the ice patch like a monkey picking a grape.
Also, we don't just commute. What if your choices are a car that can take your family of 5 or 6 somewhere or a 2 seat commuter? Not everybody can afford that, due to insurance, space/parking fees, etc.
There are plenty of cases where there are county roads with sidewalks where the speed limit is 40MPH or higher in the United States. Such is life, we are not a small island nation with close proximity to near everything. Some people even live more than 50 miles from their place of employment and have to get there with relative haste.
The benefits of freedom and liberty outweigh the restrictions of tyranny. That settles it for me. While I have a problem with people owning nukes it is due to residual radiation and the overall lack of effective storage and directional ability. Just realize this. Most people are capable of handling deadly equipment on a daily basis. Knives, gasoline, bug spray, automobiles can all cause a LOT of pain, grief and havoc. We trust people with them.
There is a quote I'd like to share with you:
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
I call bullshit on a fallacious argument. Please provide proof that guns are not used for their intended purpose, shortly after you provide conclusions as to what their intended purpose is.
Now, also, please start to check facts against the number of gun deaths, nuclear bomb detonation deaths and automobile deaths and you will see that you are picking on the low hanging fruit instead of trying to see the problem for what it is.
Banning guns is as effective as changing speed limits. It only changes what happens when one is caught. This is not an argument for or against nukes or guns or anything, but don't just mime back rhetoric when you are clearly not using facts.
My personal belief is that it is a sense of entitlement for the elitists who can afford things to demand preferential treatment. Oh, the evidence is there, but hard to compile into a scientific theory:)

Novell's Zenworks Linux Management pisses on RHN from a lofty perch. The cost of it also makes RHN look bad.

Odd :). I got called a humorless dick by some not long ago and got a bunch of -1s. Oh well. Thanks :). I don't know where that came from. Oddly, and TOTALLY coincidentally, my wife is pregnant with our first child. Wow, just all kinds of ironic, eh?
That's why god intelligently designed flexibility and knees.
How can my wife read slashdot from her spot in the kitchen?
Amazon is a pregnant wife?
Somebody has apparently never used NX. The day that RD can compare to NX on a 128K or lower line is the day I switch :)
Nah, Esperanto for the win :)

Yes.... Poor maintenance is the only reason why mechanical things fail.

Why limit it to SUV drivers? Why not drivers of red cars or people who are left handed?
