And what if you wanna use another distro of linux? Say you wanna use windows 2000 instead of windows xp. There are thousands of setup programs for applications that will install on both without problem. Now you said something about thousands of apps packages for mandriva. Do those "same" apps packages work with every single linux distribution out there? No. They gotta do a custom package for each app for each and every distro of linux out there since none of them follow a standard directory structure for each and every configuration file.
What you have there is like an embedded OS, which is why your linux install of mandriva works so well. Unfortunately there's a new version out every 6 months, with only a year of support at most. So you're constantly upgrading, sometimes needing to do a clean install, where you wipe out all the custom settings on that machine. I'd rather have it like a service pack. Want it more stable with releases every 2-3 years? Then you can pay a linux vendor like redhat for that. But I guess you get what you get when it's free.
Sure linux wins when all the drivers you need for your hardware are already included and you don't gotta do a thing to install them when the setup takes care of all of that for ya. But what if you wanna install the drivers that have full 3d acceleration support from nvidia instead of using the ones that came on the linux distro's cd? Can you do that all in the gui without having to resort to the command line? I hope someone can answer me yes.
Can't they just put it in the form of a service pack like Microsoft does? That way they have a downloadable service pack that works to upgrade the previous version to the newer one, while if you want to do a clean install, then downloading the install cd's would do that. I've never liked having to do upgrades every 6 months. That's why I prefer Microsoft's approach of a new windows version every 2-3 years or so. Stability in the architecture in that it won't change. That's one thing I don't like about linux. And I wish linux would do for once.
Did you even RTFA? It said that apple was going to demand that ANY manufacturer that makes something that is for an any ipod pay a license fee. This is unheard of in any other industry out there.
In your example you said that if a company wants to sell after market parts for ford cars out there, they can either pay a license fee to include the ford logo, or they can choose not to and still say it's designed for ford vehicles.
Apple here is basically saying that if you make an acessory for the ipod, you gotta pay them a licensing fee. Now explain why you think apple should be allowed to do this, when no manufacturer in any other industry is doing it. I bet you'd be up in arms if Microsoft demanded a percentage of the sales as a license, of all the software made for windows regardless. Stop your blind devotion to apple and think for once instead of being a lemming.
From what I hear of the specs, it is vcd resolutions which the videos are at that will play on the device with a maximum of 700 Kbps for the video bitrate. Sorry, but the only way they can make it portable is if you can hook it up to special sunglasses where it makes you seem like you're watching a 50 inch tv 10 feet in front of you. "That" will make it truly portable to want to watch now.
The push for Linux will only come from the education market. When more children grow up in a UNIX-based world, then their preference will drive their purchase. It worked for Apple and Microsoft.
Ah no. In the education market here, well high school, we were pushed apple, and u know what all the bright ones chose that knew alot about computers, microsoft. Including me. Being pushed onto a platform doesn't necessarily mean they will like it and use it.
Right now I equate linux distro to the embedded OS market. Sure all the apps work great on it that are included and well integrated. But you can't have one app work on all distros easily along with it being able to be removed easily. Some work has come along to fix that, but it still hasn't been included in a major distro. Once every distro includes that, then distro lockin essiantially ends which wouldn't be good for some distro makers like redhat. Because then you can say install a free distro, get all the features of the distro you'd have to pay for which would include support, and the market for buying distro's goes away.
Personally I think what apple does in respect of asking the user for the admin user name and password everytime I wanna do an administrative function, but otherwise staying out of the way when I don't need to, is great. And not just in the command line but in the gui as well. I know there is one linux distro that does this, and I hope more pick it up. It's nice and user friendly I find.
quarterly releases? That is worse then when apple use to release a new OS every 6 months. Why does the hobbyist market need to have a new release every 3 months or so? What about doing it the way MS does it, release a service pack instead every 3 months. That way you can still have a new release every 3 months, and for the clients that want to use it seriously, they simply install the service pack to get it updated to what the new release has. Why can't they do that instead I wonder?
Um they have been saying this for years. So if they're losing billions, where is the billions? Being spent on something else obviously. Otherwise we'd have But I thought dvd sales were up recently they said. Just like a broken record. Even if it was 1 billion lost, the population of the US is around 300 million I think, thats on average 3 dollars extra each consumer has. Geez.
[On the arrive of Vista/IE7]Also, the fact that Vista will reportedly only work on machines with accelerated graphics might also cause some folks lacking in that department to take a second look at the Linux option.
Wrong. If you don't have an accelerated graphics chip, then you'll just use the software accelerated gui instead of it being hardware accelerated. It's optional, not a requirement. Not even the latest Mac OS X, doesn't require you to have a accelerated graphics chip for its gui.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I wish Linux would do away with the unix style file system. If you take a look at the way windows nt worked, which went onto 2000 and xp, MS could have had the file system be just like unix. But instead they kept the partitions separated by drive letters, just like in windows 98 et al. Which made it so much easier to work with when it came to understanding where data was. Even when you go to the command prompt, you'd still get the drive letters. Where as even in mac os x, you'd still get the unix style file system format if you went to the command line by opening up terminal.
Separating it into drive letters showed the user exactly that one drive letter, unless it was a cd/dvd rom or removable drive, that it was one partition. And another drive letter meant that it was a separate partition. Where as in linux/unix you have everything under/. Which doesn't indicate to the user if a directory is a different partition or just another directory within the main booting partition.
Linux could do this if it wanted to. It would certainly ease the transition over to it. From someone that was using windows mainly.
Microsoft was ordered to show the source code that they use for the communication protocols, this is fine for the proprietary software sector because of NDA's to sign. But that won't work with FOSS as they're required to show the source code for their software. Where as Microsoft doesn't want their source code to be known to the public.
So maybe for FOSS they show the specifications for each of their communication protocols. The complete specification. That way no source code is actually needed from Microsoft.
In the past, when the agency deployed a new police application on StarOffice and Linux, the application had to be customized to work with the open-source software, Stirling said. It was also more difficult to configure the open-source software so that police officers could access their files from any police station, he said.
There's the main reason. Star Office had to still be customized to work with the open source software. It didn't work out of the box like Microsoft Office does. And they also found it harder to configure so that they could access the files from any police station. There's the main reasons for it. Which some of you ignored.
But I do agree on a web based form would have been alot easier once implemented. You could then put in search functions making information easier to find. You don't need a word processor to do it.
Piracy. People will want to be able to copy PS3 games. From that, they will have to buy a BD Burner. Even then, as the parent suggested here, people will now have a hd dvd player and won't wanna buy another one. Simple as that.
Well I don't quite agree on all your points here. Lets go over them shall we?
Grade on a curve Why exactly? What is wrong with a class that most can get an A in? It means that it is well taught, that's what it means.
TOUGH tests And what about the students who do horrible on tests because they freeze up? This doesn't work well for them at all.
Hold 'em back I think a re-examination of why they failed the class would be better then just holding them back.
Teach 'em to think This one's easy, just have debates. Sometimes they can choose the side they're on, other times they don't and are told to be on a certain side.
No more teaching to the test! BAN IT. Don't tell the teachers what is on the test or when it is. And how are the teachers supposed to know what to teach if they're not told what is going to be on the test? That is a BAD IDEA.tm
Pay teachers based on their students progress. There's a problem with this. Not all students are equal. This is trying to place the blame on the teacher, when at times it is the student's fault for where they are at currently with the teacher's class.
MANDITORY CIVIL SERVICE You said the military, reserves? Do you know how much physique it takes to be in that? You also have the possibility of dying. So no, I don't think so. If you're gonna try to force me into civil service, you're gonna have an uproar on your hands. Forcing someone into something that's normally considered volunteer service, will make less people want to do it then. In other words it will backfire on you. But if you're gonna propose this to the self-centered brats, blame their uprising and confront the problem their instead.
Fewer objective assignments. Sure, but you still need to able to memorize things so a combination of objective and thinking assignments.
Kids teaching kids And if the kid teaching the other kid doesn't know what they're talking about? Leave it to the teachers who were trained in the profession. Second, not everyone is a teacher. Some would be terrible teachers like me for instance. I just couldn't teach someone something easily. Atleast make it voluntary with teacher supervision.
MUSIC. Teach them music Uh they tried this once on me. I found it easier to pretend that I could play just to get it over with. I NEVER liked learning to play a musical instrument. And I did just fine without it. I also found taking art class useless to me.
Art - This is like music. See my above comment.
Recess. More of it. And more PE. And manditory. Boys (specifically) NEED physical exercise to get that energy out for them to learn. And what about the girls then? Don't they count or are you assuming in your sexist view that only boys need alot of physical education? I found I did just fine with the amount of exercise I got in school to be able to concentrate.
THE PADDLE. Uh no way buddy. This is not the 1900's again. Punishment like that only works in the short term. Study after study has shown that it makes the situation worse over time.
Same sex schools Nope, sorry. It's better that we don't do that. It's optional by private schools. But segregation is NOT the answer.
School vouchers. This means that not all schools will get the funding that they need. Nope, all schools should get the needed funding that they need.
Pay teachers more. Sure good idea, but then this might cause an influx of people going into it just for the money. Remember the dotcom boom? So many people were going into that, that did terrible in the field? Only for the money.
Sorry most of your points got shutdown, but your method's just don't work. You do sound like you're from Utah though. Ugh.
Eventually a case will reach the supreme court which will draw this out and effectively make the legislation from the court that created Roe V Wade invalid.
Pro-lifers have been saying this for years actually. You claiming not to be a pro-lifer sure do sound like one. But the feminists movement won't let that happen.
If you think that bush will not elect two people who pass this litmus test you are more deluded than I thought.
A filibuster of 41 votes from the senate is all it takes to prevent bush from putting on a judge that is anti-woman. And he can't put one on their unless he has the support of the senate.
The human race is in danger as we do not have enough people to take up the jobs when the 40-50 year olds now begin to retire in 10-20 years.
So that means no one is having babies anymore? Thats what you make it sound like. But what happens in an economy when there is less people then jobs that need to be filled? Salaries go up as job demand increases. That's how the economy works.
as hatred against the US rises our precious dollar drops in value
So then the jobs will go elsewhere. Abortion is legal in lots of countries, not just the US and they're doing just fine.
Minimium wage is already impossible to live on in large cities.
Minimum wage jobs were designed for teenagers and college/university students before they got their career going. They weren't ever meant to be lived off of like a career is meant to be. You could get a better paying job at a warehouse without having to go to school.
As a side, Japan is hated by most of Asia still at some deep level and cannot recruit enough people to work in their service industries even now. When 3rd world countries have better population balance than most 1st world countries something is broken.
Then why does Japan have such a good economy? Explain that. As for 3rd world countries having better population control, then why are millions starving in africa? They aren't taught about proper family planning, which Bush had pulled the funding for, simply because it was also used to do abortions. Having the ability to have an abortion if needed to is part of proper family planning.
'Pro-choice' is deceptive doublespeak from a relatively new form of radicalized violent feminism.
Exactly how is it double speak? And how is it violent feminism? Do they go and blow up clinics? Blow up trains? Shoot pro-life protestors? NO.
When I hear those words from someone purporting to cherish such beliefs all I can see is the cold heart of a deluded brainwashed monster. Yes, feminists can be extremists just as much as Islamists (Bin Laden) and Christians (Waco, TX).
So you're calling me a monster now? Now look at whose deluded. The pro-life camp has blocked clinics that provide abortions to keep women from going in their. Even nurses and doctors and other staff. They've shot at doctors who provide safe legal abortions. So who seems to be in the extreme here? Not pro-choicers apparently. Exactly what do you find wrong with giving a woman the choice whether she wants to keep her pregnancy going or to abort it? If you claim I'm lying, then it only shows your ignorance of the facts.
However, women in this country have the blood of 40 million on their hands a many times increase than all the wars of the 20th century.
And these women had chosen to have a safe legal abortion for whatever reason. Not everything that is created is meant to survive. Face it. Are you against miscarriages too? Because they're technically nature's way of an abortion.
I would say the greatest murderer in the 20th century is abortion doctors and the women who choose abortion when history takes note of how the population changed so radically in the past 30 some odd years.
The definition of murder is illegal homicide. Abortion is not illegal, therefore it's not
No, abortion is based on the right that a woman has a choice to do what she wants to her body and that you can't supercede someone's rights with anothers rights.
When the baby boomers die we will lose a large chunk of our population
The human race is not in danger of extinction. Your line of thought is flawed.
Pro-abortion lawmakers know this and so do the pro-lifers trying to get more humane laws.
Oh you mean like the law in some states that were turned down by the courts where a teenager who is pregnant has to get their parental consent first before she can get an abortion.
And we're not called pro-abortion. We're pro-choice. If a woman is pregnant, she can decide what to do about it. She can keep it, have an abortion, keep it but then give it up for adoption. We support any choice she makes.
Unlike what alot of pro-lifers say that we just want every woman who gets pregnant to have an abortion. We just ensure she has the right to choice. Even some of the extreme pro-lifers have said that a woman who has sex unprotected shouldn't take the morning after pill. In other words, they just want to punish women for having sex. And most of these are christian men. Even if the woman had been raped, they wouldn't have changed their mind.
I did hear one time of this christian woman who said abortion was wrong, bad, etc. But she got pregnant one time, and what do you know, had an abortion. To this day, she still emphasizes abortion is wrong and denies she ever had an abortion. Such a hipocrit.
Actually the user switching thing you said was copied from linux/unix. Apple came out with that same feature AFTER microsoft implemented it. So don't go around saying that everything apple does is innovative. Some of the features they add are copied as well. Just like MS does.
I remember reading a book on the result of the roswell incident from someone in the foreign technology division. One of the things the military wanted to do then, was to build a moon base. Course it never got off the ground, other then from having plans for it. Maybe they might make it this time.
all these trojan horses that the article talked about were installed by either tricking the computer user into installing them via e-mail or cd, or by a trusted individual that the computer user knew. The same thing could have happened with linux or mac os x.
Linux is updated often, so it is more likely to have drivers for new stuff in my experience.
And does linux have a gui where you select the downloaded location of the new driver(s) you just downloaded, check to see if they'll work with the piece of hardware they're for, and install them automatically? Nope, gotta do it all via the command line. And if you don't like the driver the distro comes with and you want a better one installed. Windows wins at this point hands down.
There's a reason why linux distros update their list of drivers that they include, because they don't have an easy way to install new drivers like windows does.

Exactly how is it double speak? And how is it violent feminism? Do they go and blow up clinics? Blow up trains? Shoot pro-life protestors? NO.
When I hear those words from someone purporting to cherish such beliefs all I can see is the cold heart of a deluded brainwashed monster. Yes, feminists can be extremists just as much as Islamists (Bin Laden) and Christians (Waco, TX).
So you're calling me a monster now? Now look at whose deluded. The pro-life camp has blocked clinics that provide abortions to keep women from going in their. Even nurses and doctors and other staff. They've shot at doctors who provide safe legal abortions. So who seems to be in the extreme here? Not pro-choicers apparently. Exactly what do you find wrong with giving a woman the choice whether she wants to keep her pregnancy going or to abort it? If you claim I'm lying, then it only shows your ignorance of the facts.
However, women in this country have the blood of 40 million on their hands a many times increase than all the wars of the 20th century.
And these women had chosen to have a safe legal abortion for whatever reason. Not everything that is created is meant to survive. Face it. Are you against miscarriages too? Because they're technically nature's way of an abortion.
I would say the greatest murderer in the 20th century is abortion doctors and the women who choose abortion when history takes note of how the population changed so radically in the past 30 some odd years.
The definition of murder is illegal homicide. Abortion is not illegal, therefore it's not
Abortion is based on the right to privacy
No, abortion is based on the right that a woman has a choice to do what she wants to her body and that you can't supercede someone's rights with anothers rights.
When the baby boomers die we will lose a large chunk of our population
The human race is not in danger of extinction. Your line of thought is flawed.
Pro-abortion lawmakers know this and so do the pro-lifers trying to get more humane laws.
Oh you mean like the law in some states that were turned down by the courts where a teenager who is pregnant has to get their parental consent first before she can get an abortion.
And we're not called pro-abortion. We're pro-choice. If a woman is pregnant, she can decide what to do about it. She can keep it, have an abortion, keep it but then give it up for adoption. We support any choice she makes.
Unlike what alot of pro-lifers say that we just want every woman who gets pregnant to have an abortion. We just ensure she has the right to choice. Even some of the extreme pro-lifers have said that a woman who has sex unprotected shouldn't take the morning after pill. In other words, they just want to punish women for having sex. And most of these are christian men. Even if the woman had been raped, they wouldn't have changed their mind.
I did hear one time of this christian woman who said abortion was wrong, bad, etc. But she got pregnant one time, and what do you know, had an abortion. To this day, she still emphasizes abortion is wrong and denies she ever had an abortion. Such a hipocrit.
Actually the user switching thing you said was copied from linux/unix. Apple came out with that same feature AFTER microsoft implemented it. So don't go around saying that everything apple does is innovative. Some of the features they add are copied as well. Just like MS does.
I remember reading a book on the result of the roswell incident from someone in the foreign technology division. One of the things the military wanted to do then, was to build a moon base. Course it never got off the ground, other then from having plans for it. Maybe they might make it this time.
all these trojan horses that the article talked about were installed by either tricking the computer user into installing them via e-mail or cd, or by a trusted individual that the computer user knew. The same thing could have happened with linux or mac os x.
Linux is updated often, so it is more likely to have drivers for new stuff in my experience.
And does linux have a gui where you select the downloaded location of the new driver(s) you just downloaded, check to see if they'll work with the piece of hardware they're for, and install them automatically? Nope, gotta do it all via the command line. And if you don't like the driver the distro comes with and you want a better one installed. Windows wins at this point hands down.
There's a reason why linux distros update their list of drivers that they include, because they don't have an easy way to install new drivers like windows does.
