He was talking about a CD, that shiny round thing which you can purchase from a retail store. What do you do when you get one that doesn't play in your cd player, play frisbee?
I used to like the Indian patent system that was previously there. Make the manufacturing process patentable, not the actual drug. That keeps a certain amount of IP safe, while allowing for competition and low cost drugs. Its sad that the WTO regime is going to get that thrown out in favour of the more restrictive patents on the actual products. Its worked for the most parts of it, I still see competition and also that a significant amount of drugs are home grown.
Leave this part and you've hit it. One of the things why I visit orkut once a month and myspace never is that orkut looks more professionals and easier to use. Its actually a good way to meet up with your friends in case they are all there.
At least Ubuntu server doesn't install X by default either, I'm looking at you SuSE and Red Hat.
Every time I hear this argument, I take it that the poster hasn't tried to install Oracle or any big piece of software on linux. You need X around, its there for a lot of reasons and is a very bad idea to remove from the default set of packages. In fact, Solaris and AIX also has it by default. Redhat does it the right way, its installed, but xdm is never started up by default. (I am guessing this because i use a network kickstart regularly). Ubuntu might be cool on the server, but I'd rather have others beta test running oracle/jboss/aos/whatever else on that first. Respect in the servers segment comes with time, and while its all linux kernel + glibc + gnu tools and whatever, I'd rather hear success stories with other people before putting it out on my servers.
So, if the earth is only 6000 years old, did the cities of these people ship with the earth when it was created? You also seem to be ignoring literature from other civilizations which mention their gods to be from the period when the Christian Earth was created. I re-read what you wrote, if there is a satire in your argument, then it is very subtle and I have missed it.
But assuming that evidence is false while putting in a blind belief in God is a very disturbing thought.
Better still, use this version of digg The news is a bit older, but all the crap is filtered out. Atleast most if it. The irritating beryl videos and photoship tips still make it to the top, which make me wonder about the quality of the digg crowd.
Nothing makes me happier than an old atm with a limited feature set...You know it's not running windows in the background
Sadly, my bank's ATM comes from Diebold, the famous company that we all know, and yes, there's no points for guessing that it runs on windows. I've seen it crash atleast a dozen times with BSODs and funny looking dialogs. I am farely sure that these machines can be reverse engineered, and I prefer using their web interface, which from the headers run on iplanet/solaris. Still I guess I count as the exception and not the majority.
I fully concur. I can't stand top-posting, but I have to deal with it (and do it myself), otherwise everyone at work bitches about how I'm "intentionally being difficult"...
I agree... unfortunately, everyone at work does it. So if I start at the bottom, and the email goes back and forth several times, you simply can't follow it anymore. It must have been outlook that started that nonsense.
This one might be what you are looking for. The pictures are very decent and not post processed and the whole interface is designed to be a camera first and phone later. Its not user friendly, but I love the pictures that it takes.
I can say the same thing about my Dad's Nakamichi 600 II player, which was released in the 80s. It was amazing, expensive as hell, and had the entire circuit diagram etched in the inside case. It actually make me take electronics seriously as a kid!
We have been offering BioPassword as an additional security feature for our web based application (Doc Mgmt). I have been fairly impressed with its capabilities.
So what exactly are you doing when firefox automatically enters the saved password? This idea is flawed dude.
But not anymore. I frequently use it for historical documentation or if I want to know better about some topic. But when a device doesn't work, or I need a quick howto, I go over to Gentoo wiki or their official docs which are of a high quality. I don't have any doubts that the ubuntu/fedora/suse crowd check out their relevant documentation rather than head over to tldp. There are several reasons for it.
We have a lot of popular distros that do things in their own way. For example, the commands that work in Fedora will not work in Ubuntu without changing paths, package names etc... Its always favourable to have distro specific pages that allow everyone to copy-paste the commands without messing up on the fine details.
Secondly, I view whatever tldp has as a very good source to learn something. The information there is presented in a very generic way, and very well laid out - for example read the software raid howto over there and tell me whether you'll see that quality elsewhere.
But in this day of n00bs switching over, wiki pages are the way to go for popular information. Afterall, its the "in" thing now, has the web 2.0 touches and appeals to a very large crowd. The bottom line is that tldp isn't dead, just that its roles has changed a great deal in the last 5 years.
You get full redistribution rights on those parts that are covered by the GPL. There are parts of RHEL that are not covered by the GPL, which is effectively those parts that CentOS strips out. That include the Red Hat artwork and Red Hat Network tools.
That's fine. What about the other stuff? I am actually surprised that the redhat legal team advises otherwise. Looking at the GPL, I am almost sure that using the same base for other systems is very much legal. I could be mistaken for all I know, IANAL:)
BTW, what is in this device that disallows me to dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=usb_bckp? I think the basic concept is flawed, there is no true security in a portable device that someone else can physically take away.
Thanks for the link, I see that my claims may not have been true. Still, how does this become compliant with the GPL? Redhat distributes the OS (the source form) on the terms of the GPL. This allows me full redistribution rights, as long as I comply with the trademarks and copyright laws. In other words, I can use it to clone other systems internally and can install the software as I see fit on any other server in the organisation. The problem would be when I try to sell this OS - if I use Redhat's name without their knowledge (since I am selling a copy of RHEL) that would be a violation of their copyright, and their trademarks.
It is a bit dodgy, but I can install the redhat software using up2date, on any system that is registered on RHN. up2date has an option to keep the rpms after they are installed. I can use those rpms (note: now the terms of rhn subscription stop and the gpl enters) on any systems in a way that I deem fit, provided I do not violate the GPL. What is prohibited is me using RHN or the up2date utility on another system. As long as I have my own re-distribution mechanism setup, I can ship those rpms to any other system. This is my take on the license, I may be wrong afterall.
Re:Does anyone even use this OS?

If you are running RHEL in prod, then nothing in the license stops you from installing it on the dev machines. We do that, and it works great because we have to maintain only 1 distro in the whole environment.
The RHN subscription is for access to the download page, and for support. If you have two licenses, then it entitles you to have support for 2 machines, but doesn't in any way prevent you from installing on a third machine. Just an FYI, in case you weren't aware of it.

That's something really amazing. You have a talent there, my friend.

Don't worry, they have a 100 grand speakers to pair along with it.
