worse thing I ever did was buy a house and get a mortgage. I should have rented instead. For 20 years that mortgage was a cancer sucking our lives away.when I think of the mountain of money we paid in interest it makes me feel I'll. We could have saved the cash to buy a house outright for less.
Everyone who feeds on driving upgrades will be very keen on selling this one. Can't blame them for that. Meanwhile Ubuntu 8.10 Linux runs really well on an AMD Athlon 2200+ (1.6GHz) and 512MB of RAM with an interface comparable to MS' Aero.
North Americans are being fleeced by having to pay for incoming anything. Almost all of the rest of the world employs caller / sender pays regime and it is MUCH better! I've used both.
You summed that up rather well! I remember how MS pioneered the free software model to undercut competitors. WordPerfect dominated the word processor market. Lotus 123 was THE spreadsheet. But both were difficult to pirate, whereas all you needed to do to get MS Word or Excel was copy the floppy. Before too long users were most familiar with the pirated MS apps.
Yes, They do crash and it is most common this time of year, due to icing and weather-related problems running into weekend / amateur pilots.
But there is a pattern of death around the Bushs. They are dangerous people to know.
....over DRM.
I'd have bought an Apple years if it weren't for the restrictions they place on their technology and the content they sell.
I use Linux. I'm free.
Ubuntu looks a lot like Apple anyway.....and I can do everything I want to do. OK, I don't have iMovie...but that doesn't mean I can't make videos. KDEnlive and Kino do what I need done.
The success of arguments like those claiming some application is "hogging" the Internet because hundreds of millions of people use it rely on people not knowing how the Internet works.
I pay my ISP for access. They, in turn, pay others for their connections. The access for everyone is ALREADY paid for.....and the consequent traffic is what we are all paying for.
Especially here in New Zealand where we have data quotas or caps (plan dependent).....and the more we use, the more we pay. No one can claim I'm not paying the freight....and Google needs to be tapped for cash, too. I'm sure they pay heaps of money for their many connections worldwide.
Re:Will it fix the most notorious Linux bug??

The bug you speak of was in either Win95 or Win98...I forget which. I have had Linux systems running non-stop for over a year on a UPS without a re-boot.
It's good to have a (popular) Open Source application in case your vendor goes belly up and orphans your infrastructure. This happens more often than many people might think.
Like many people and organisations, they want the freedom to do as they please, but do not want to experience the consequences.
Freedom without responsibility is unaccountable.
That isn't good.
I installed Chrome, and liked it. But it is flakey when using the Flash video player on YouTube and elsewhere....frequently locking up or crashing.
Over the weekend, I installed opera 9.62. I had not looked at Opera AT ALL in at least 4 years. Now I know where Google got many of the best ideas in Chrome. Opera is like Chrome could be one day.....but isn't yet.
I installed Opera on my windows and linux system. With several special-purpose Gmail accounts, I need a different browser for each one. Opera is good. At this stage, better than Chrome by a long way.
I'm 50.
I find that a low-fat diet, regular physical exercise (*gentle* stretches, short sprints combined with walks and the odd steep hill or stairway/steps), lots of rest and a good diet keep my head sharper. KEEP THE WEIGHT DOWN!!! Too much fat on your frame makes you stupid(er) - at any age.
Omega3 seems to help, too.
But I only mean sharper. Not as sharp as I used to be, but FEELS like it.;-)
So Obama made more news. So what? So his ancient history wasn't smeared.....so what?
That's not "bias". Fox News is bias....and they weren't cheering for Obama.
Copyright considerations and concerns have been dealt with in other threads so I won't do anything more on that than accept that source code given to the Chinese government should be considered as compromised.
In China's defence, they know very well that the US and other governments require their companies to allow their intelligence services access to their products....whether they admit it publicly or not.
The illegal, warrantless spying that the US government has been doing via US network providers must be seen by China and anyone else as only the tip of the iceberg. It has effectively compromised all these companies and rendered their products unsalable to many foreign governments. The German government didn't move to Linux and away from Windows because they don't like Bill Gates. They wanted secure systems and they can't get that using closed-source software from a country with a government that has no respect for the law...be that country the US or China. Not much difference between them in this area.
I'm seeing otherp hones coming onto the market with similar functionality that aren't as tightly controlled as the iPhone. I'll get one of those. The iPhone lacks a video camera and voice command capabilities.....so not very interesting to me.
My kids (15 and 19) watch very little TV. They tend to watch DVDs or YouTube....if they watch anything at all. I haven't worried about their TV watching time for years.... They are too busy doing things themselves to sit around watching anyone else.
Whereas.....it's us oldies (50 this year) who turn it on to see the news and curse every night because there is so little news on the news....Old habits die hard.
The 2nd Amendment doesn't say what "arms" are. That leaves the way open for Congress to define "arms" as pea-shooters and you're not allowed to carry more then 5 peas at a time.
Bush does the same thing. You want to torture but it's illegal. Fine, do it anyway and call it something else.
You want to sign a treaty with Iraq, but cut the Senate out of the Constitutional loop? Fine, call it an alliance instead of a treaty, demonstrating you don't understand english (treaties are signed to create alliances) and avoid the Constitution. By the time it goes through the Supreme Court 10 years from now, it won't be an issue anyway.
The US Constitution is already dead. get rid of it and reform the government so it is actually accountable to someone......because the present setup delivers neither adequate representation nor effective accountability.
That Bush is still in office is proof of the failure of accountability. That more than 98% of House reps are re-elected every two years - thanks to Constitutionally-allowed district gerrymandering by partisan state legislatures - is proof of the death of accountability.
The 4th Amendment has been completely gutted. The President has been illegally ignoring it for years now and Congress has passing law after law that infringes on it.....until it now means nothing at all. Warrantless secret searches are conducted all the time.
I sincerely home one day Americans will see the sense in NOT spending money on stuff like this and instead get a decent health care system for everyone.
So you're you're effectively saying the "open" meme is transforming the world.....well beyond mere computers and software. The Internet will also have blown many minds WIDE open....the sheer freedom of it. All based on open TCP/IP.
I'll sign up for that.

You're right.at work we use Sage CRM and it just doesn't work properly with Firefox.

People who know awkward things about the Republican Party - in particular the Bush family - have a nasty habit of dying. http://www.jjraymond.com/political/2007/pedophile.html

You don't appear to be one who would let the facts get in your way. Not pretty.

They are too busy doing things themselves to sit around watching anyone else.

They could alter the Ts & Cs to make it a violation of service to block those packets....and then cut you off if you do it.

Dear Mr. Gates I already have a mother. Piss off. Yours sincerely Me.
I sincerely home one day Americans will see the sense in NOT spending money on stuff like this and instead get a decent health care system for everyone.
Yeah. It isn't the voters who will be fiddling the vote tally. It's the officials and anyone else who has access to the systems and tallies.
