there was a site set up by somebody who regularly contributes to the kernel. he actively goes after companies that use linux in their software+changes and do not return those changes to the community.
i would like to say he does so effectively and successfully. but for the life of me, i cant remember his name nor his site.
ok google seems to be on a roll here: churning out products and features one after another. yesterday it was maps n local.co.uk.
i dont know exactly how many prodcuts and features they now have but i know their next realise shoudl be a my.google.com where u can bookmark all the google products u like to use and it can give u a summary ala my.yahoo.com
i just helped a friend out and this was the result: 5 recycled compaq sff workstations without hard disks or cdroms and builtin pxe enabled nic. 1 hyperthreaded 3.2gb with 2*80gb harddisk with 2 nics
30usd for 1.5Mbps? hmm the current exchange rate sets 1usd=5.84LE thats about 175.2LE/month for 1.5mbps. and i m paying 150le/month for 256kbps in cairo,egypt. ok thats cheap
the makers of CUPS: the Common Unix Printing System has another product called EPM: Easy Package Management available at http://www.easysw.com/epm/.
EPM is a free UNIX software/file packaging program that generates distribution archives from a list of files. EPM Can:
* Generate portable script-based distribution packages complete with installation and removal scripts and standard install/uninstall GUIs.

good question: while i was in saudi 3 or 4 years ago. i was in mecca and asked why the hour was for 20 riyals conversion rate is at oanda.com) i believe.
i asked the cybercafe's administrator and he said that the price was high coz the nearest isp was in jeddah (i was in mecca about 25 km if i remember correctly) and they had to throw a line to the isp, which was also why the link was pretty slow.
and yes my memory sucks from all the hours i have sat in front of a crt.

hey! what do you know!? i have been to saudi arabia. when were u there? i was there 3 years ago. and 5 years ago. and 10 years ago and 11 years ago and 12 years ago. adn when did u say u went there again?
i havent vanished have i? (i cant hear you gears grinding!)
pity i dont have any moderator status i would have modded you flame bait.
no seriously speaking, a place where u simply vanish and get beaten to death by holy men is the United States of America. check it out.. men in orange suits, in a military camp; no one actually knows their status; they are not POWs in contravention of the Geneva Convention and they get bush-whacked to death by men who got "religion"

go ahead, biased bigots and religious men who wish to promote freedom, mod me a troll, flamebat, and -5. you live in a perverted view of your own world and have a closed mind. open it and learn how other people live and WHY

i m egyptian not a saudi.
i have used cyber cafes in saudi arabia.
i kinda like not having ads, popups or otherwise, of "meet your mate" and "grow your dick" style on my browser. right now i use firefox with adblock for the same effect. but i got to do it manually, this is like automatic.
the kids find it hard to browse porn sites: i like the (conservative) idea that kids get introduced to NORMAL sex thru their parents
and the clincher: there is a site one can go to add a new porn site to the proxy ban list: the list is BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE and sorry i dont have the url any more.
in conclusion sites like cnn is available and foxnews (unfortunately) too while victoria's secret isnt
http://gforge.org/ - based on an OSS sourceforge version. this should cover the cvs, documentation, etc needs for any project. its also getting to be quite popular eg rubyforge, http://alioth.debian.org/ etc.
these old textbooks aren't updatable, but they have lasted much longer than these handhelds will likely will humph! here in egypt when we write something on stone, it lasts for thousands of years!
why should they fix the hardcoded link? this way they will boost sales of their new antispyware program. (which btw they dint build from the ground up fyi)

archaeologists will puzzle over the following facts:

2. each henge while similar is different in construction material
3. while religion may have played a part in their construction, astronomy was most likely the major reason for its construction
4. only one of the henges are accurately aligned, the rest are... puzzling!
hey.. thats about as long as i have had my hotmail account.
and i NEVER get spam from anybody except one spammer.
my secret? i keep my hotmail account at 100% quota but this one spammer knows this bug in hotmail which allows administrators@msn and administrators@hotmail to send email to me.:(
and no matter how many times i make a filter or i report it as spam it keeps on coming and coming and coming..
y are patents bad?
ok.. imagine the caveman who invented fire patented his idea of fire in pages of whatever definition lawyers have for fire.
where would u be today? interesting question that.. would u even be today?
knowledge is free, and should be free so that we can make the best use of it, whether for profit, charity, improvement, innovation, expandability, documentation, whatever you decide.

DUPE! not even gonna bother to look for the link
there was a site set up by somebody who regularly contributes to the kernel. he actively goes after companies that use linux in their software+changes and do not return those changes to the community.
i would like to say he does so effectively and successfully. but for the life of me, i cant remember his name nor his site.
taking a picture or two of that guy who looks like he is trying to sneak into your neighbour's house ... in montreal ..best city to live in ;)
rtfa - this is a developer on the kernel team .. not a maintainer.
and he claims xen n reiserfs4 etc are gonna be in 2.6.12..

i just helped a friend out and this was the result:
5 recycled compaq sff workstations without hard disks or cdroms and builtin pxe enabled nic.
1 hyperthreaded 3.2gb with 2*80gb harddisk with 2 nics
hardware costs
workstations=5*350LE=1750LE
server=3100LE
monitors are out of the equation coz when he realised he was gonna save 15000LE+ on hardware alone he decided to get 5*2000LE LCD monitors.
software = mandrake 10.1+ ltsp 4.1 = free
ok i took a bit of cash for the setup but nowhere NEAR M$ prices!
total cost of hardware without the monitors = 830USD (1usd-5.84LE)
30usd for 1.5Mbps? hmm the current exchange rate sets 1usd=5.84LE thats about 175.2LE/month for 1.5mbps. and i m paying 150le/month for 256kbps in cairo,egypt.
ok thats cheap
