    The same way that being beaten up by 1 person is not good and by 5 people is no better. You are using a false diagram of rationality. Both are offenses. Just because both exist does not make one more right than the other.

    Had you read the previous posts by myself and others that mentioned this already, you'd have saved the time of commenting. A packaging system does not an OS make. SUSE is based on Slackware. PClinuxOS uses .deb files, but is based on Mandriva. Red Hat uses YUM but is not YellowDog...

    Make the penalty appropriate. The fine should be the salary and benefits valuation for the employee/H1-B in question. Also, as there is an allotment of H1-B visas per company, they should lose that visa and now be allowed to hire any more on visa for five years from the last infraction.

    We should also do away with job shopping visas. There should NEVER be an immigrant visa system where someone is brought here to then find a job when the purpose was to fill a niche that cannot be filled locally.

    I propose a different system:

    H1-B visas should be for the best of the best from any another nation, where the person wants either experience or citizenship. If they can remain here for some period of time (2-5yrs, depending on visa), not commit any crime, pay all their taxes and establish themselves here, they should be granted citizenship or asked to leave if they refuse it, without the ability to return on a work visa for the same term as their original one.

    Make it an express lane to get talented, law abiding people from other nations to fill the gaps in our ability and not job shoppers from India, Sri Lanka, Russia, China, Australia, England, or wherever.

  23. Re:LibreOffice will join the ranks of Linux... on 33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    Reductio ad absurdum. Linux is the kernel. You can have a Linux OS, that is, an OS based upon the Linux kernel. This is not MY definition, but a common one. Your lack of awareness or understanding of it is no more my concern than whether or not you understand weather patterns or think that dancing will bring rain. Windows 7 offered by Compaq (An HP Company) IS a different OS from Windows Vista offered by Compaq OR Dell. They do not use the same Kernel. This is the same as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 update 7 is a different OS than Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 update 2 x64. They may be based upon the same general fabric, but they are not "The Same OS." If you do not believe me, try installing files that were specific to that OS and see how well that goes. While you are at it, download a Windows 3.11 for Workgroups program and see how well it works on Windows Server 2008. As for the Dell Keybind utility; If you cannot discern the difference between a program and a user space, that is the fault of your educators and not mine.

    A distribution IS an operating system, more so than the kernel is. The kernel is the kernel. Wrap a kernel with a user space, libraries, etc and you have an OS.

    By that logic, then Red Hat is Yellow Dog, because they use YUM, and PCLinuxOS is Debian, even though they use .deb files on a Mandriva based OS. Package management similarities are not what make the core of the OS.
