Although not as pure Unix - it is definitely a more stable solution than SCO. Althought not as stable - it is definitely more powerful than QNX. Although not as powerful - it is definitely more user-friendly than Solaris. Although not as user-friendly - it is definitely more secure than Mac OS. Although not as secure - it is definitely more widely known than FreeBSD. Althought not as widely known - it is definitely a cheaper choice than Microsoft Servers.
Linux is winning popularity for the same reason Microsoft Windows won 20 years ago - it is suddenly becoming very accessible to businesses at large.
"My wife (being Bulgarian) wouldn't agree! The amount of time, effort and money we had to spend to get her to be able to live and work in the UK was ridiculous."
What? Sacrificing her to this pitiful Island?
Don't you have any love for your wife?
is that the allusion to that European joke? what is the difference between Heaven and Hell... In Heaven the cooks are French, the police: British, the engineers: Germans, the lovers: Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss.
Worse than USA -
Are the Europeans arse-lickers that follow suit.
The stupid moronic "Oirish" are the first.
Bunch of beggars keen to lick any American Arse - and have their crappy Presidency be sponsored by Microsoft.
Then you have the pathetic British Government.
I mean we have a subservient Fag - the Prime Minister; keen to do whatever Bush gets him to do. And his moron cabinet are the first to implement anything that is destructive to the IT workforce of this country (as if IR-35, fast-track-visa, outsourcing wasn't enough). So why should they oppose the coming patent law? They "abstain" - typical of the English people (hear nothing, see nothing)
The level of ignorance here is appauling. Ask anyone in IT what is Open Source: "Ish shumfing to do wiv a Penguin innit?" - no joke.
They rather blow up animal laboratories in order to save a guinea-pigs than to care for their own people.
Then we move into mainland europe and the list of yankeephiles goes on. The spineless Austrians. The stupid Italians. The boring Belgians. The cowardly Dutch. The perverted Swiss. The utterly ignorant Greeks... etc
Interesting to observe that those nations that are often criticized and mocked by America and the UK - Germany and France. They had the decency to remain strongly opposed to this most absurd law. Theirs is a country with guts to speak for the people. Fuck what the world-raping evil corporations wants - what is wrong is wrong.
France had the guts to oppose the invasion of Iraq under such a false pretext - amongst all pressures.
Seems like theirs is more of a true democracy than the mega-corp controlled United States (and its slaves arse-licking Europeans).
This is not a critique against the American people - as many are seriously trying but feel powerless - stuck against a impossible Force. This is a critique against the faceless European arse-lickers listed above.
Kudos to the people and government of the countries that having been voting against the legislation.
Strange because I can't stand PDFs and would imagine the consensus would be the same.
In fact there is a group (will search later) that advocates the non-use of PDFs for websites.
Sure have a download PDF link - but not just stick a PDF file no matter what.
The comparison between RAMs will have to be benchmarked. I imagine a PDF-reader plugin being fired is way heavier on resources than parsing an HTML page. It takes at least 5 seconds for Acrobat Reader to open. Also there are browsers that are anything but ram-consuming. Dillo has a very low memory print. Incredibly fast - as it rejects the DOM tree, CSS and Javascript (no wonder).
PDFs are not accessible - HTML is at least in principle accessible (depending on the web-designer). So Braille / Text readers or browser for the visually impared can enjoy the article.
The text layout rendering again is subjective. I abhor PDF, it is static, inflexible, sure I can zoom in, but i can't just augment the fonts without having to deal with scrollbars eventually.
The sudden jump between pages is another very annoying feature -for me. Where am I now page 3 or 4 ?? huh?
Again I am surprised I thought the anti-PDF feeling was pretty widespread - but I guess not. So that I find particularly interesting (after all noone thinks the same).
For me PDF great - to download and print and read it at your own leisure in the toilet.
For me HTML great - to read online - but usually an ugly mess if you care to print it out.
Including other big or not so-big significant players. So Novel doesn't have a say on this? So HP doesn't have a say on this? Sun Microsystem who is not all that anti-Linux (as many would like to portray) - gets further smashed by this?
And what of other distros MandrakeSoft/Suse/Connectiva/.. how can this be possibly a fair scenario if not pre-monopolistic?
LSB 2.0 was reinvented for what?
I see a dangerous monopoly trend coming. Just like IBM gave powers to Microsoft (and you saw what happen). Red Hat will be your new Tyrant.
Power Corrupts. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. This seriously stinks.
how come you knew they would troll you? I can't see anything wrong with that particular point of view. Imagine a world run by these utterly ignorant moderators - that is short of being a Taleban. Someone change the system please?
And they kept saying Pixar was all for Linux

Or was that DreamWorks?
I really got to get my pro-Linux facts right or I will be made to look stupid at cocktail parties:)
Slashdot Mirror
so two vulnerabilities were found and reported.
is that so bad?
how many does Microsoft Windows have that we have no clue about - and because it is closed source we never will.
of course "not that good" will be valid if it takes them a long time to fix/patch this.
gosh you are lucky.
I usually have to go through 200.

yeah but Yahoo Webcam is much better than MSN. ... its much better.
Not that it runs on my platform but hey

Websites should always keep it short, sweet, simple.
When you google .html .pdf
:)
and you are given an option of the same document
which one would you open for on-screen reading?
PDF was invented with printing in mind.
So that your file prints exactly as intended
independant of fonts or software.
On the other hand HTML is probably the best for on-screen reading.
There was once a format that was supposed to do everything SGML - but it was huge and cumbersome.
PDF = Print Da File
script the .doc with a macro virus.
that'll show them.
PDF is for printing.
Not screen reading.
XML is plain text after all.
that is what I've heard
pop-up blockers and tabbed browsing for new versions of IE.
yeah pretty insightful your comment.
Microsoft let other people do the hard work for them
then steal, buys them off, close them down later.
Pure Evil Genius.
That was supposed to read:
:)
...
Some [State] ditches Microsoft Windows altogether
for another OS?
That would be wonderful news
=============
I used greater-than/smaller-than characters - so the word [State] disappeared
as if it really matters lol

It wasn't CowboyNeal that wrote the preface to the article.
It was robyanneta.
He merely accepts or rejects articles as he sees fit.

yeah I guess you have a point.

Or you might consider a better solution for the problem
