The next version of openSUSE will be 11. It will go to eleven!
That means that the next version of openSUSE will be at least 4 better the Microsoft one. If the next version of Windows takes 7 years again, openSUSE will be at 14. So openSUSE will be TWICE as good.
Because of this, no further investigation can be done on who and what and why and those were most likely the same people who did not want an investigation in the first place.
As a non-American I think Americans have serious issues. To lie about a blowjob: BAD! To lie to go to war and rape your rights: let's re-elect him.
Mmm. TV might have to do something with it. See a nipple or say fuck, scream. See people killed, daytime TV.
And you still think that terrorirst want to desroy your way of living? I would say it is bad that you don'[t want to destroy it yourself.
It takes X amount to check each person. If they can do 90% before, they can easily do the last 10% later. If they would do everything at the latest moment, most likely they will not be able to do all of them.
So with the 72 hours, Soviet America is a step closer, because everybody can be checked. With cross-referencing it becomes very interesting.
So when are you Americans finaly going to use the second amendment what it was intended for, No, not to hunt rabbits, but to get a regulated armed militia for the security of a free state, And I am not talking "free as in beer".
If Sony gets bad press, people will buy something else. If Apple gets bad press, people will buy some other brand.
But seriously, what alternatives do people have instead of Vista for a pre-installed system. Seriously?
I like Linux and I am convinced that it is ready for the desktop right now. However there is no serious choice of pre-installed Linux PCs. And that is what people want: A pre-installed system
So due to their monopoly position, MS does not have to care what anybody tells them, advices them or advices their customers. Everybody already knows that Vista is not good, but why would MS care? Again, people want pre-installed systems. They want to run the software that they already know, preinstalled.
They are not able or do not care to find out what a distro is, what distro they should download, or how to boot that distro after burning it. People generaly do not care to learn what program replaces their own program, let alone learn how to install things, no matter how much easier it is in the end.
People are lazy and will look at the short term gains. So offer an alternative. Sell pre-installed systems. That way you will learn FAST wether people are seriously interested in an alternative or not.
Background: I am a sysadmin for a 300+ node Linux shop, and have fairly lengthy experience in Solaris, Windows, and AIX as well.
I still run Windows XP as my desktop of choice. I only run it because it came with the laptop that was provided to me by IT, or I would probably still be running Windows 2000. Very simply, I use the OS as a tool to get my job done, and Windows 2000 was doing the trick. Windows XP is now doing the trick. When there is something I want to do that Windows XP can no longer do, I will look beyond.
So basicaly what you are saying is "As long as it runs putty.exe I don't need anything else"
What companies should realize is that they try to solve a solcial problam with a technical solution. No intenet? Right, I will read a book instead.
Also if you want to block certain sites, then be prepared to close all sites for everybody, expet those that are actualy needed. Yes, some departyments might be needing to look up things, but about 99% of the things that people need to look up at a company will be withing certain websites/domains. My guess is that at my comany (500 people) we could do with about 10 sites.
Not blocking everything (for everybody, including the CEO) will just be a loosing batte.
Several companies I have seen do just that and then have PCs for general usage standing around. So if you can not live withouth your personal email, you can use it during your breaks.
I do not think you understand the power of marketing, the power of a monopoly and who their clients realy are.
They are not much interested in Joe Smoe. They are interested in Dell and such to push their OS down your throat. Everybody I know who bought a new computer complaints about Vista on it, yet what do they actualy do? Nothing (exept for a few, some of them even BOUGHT XP).
With a monopoly, you do not need trust. With a monopoly, you need to keep the law on your side and in the US that is easy. It is is not a contest who is the most trusted or likable company.
but this is something that has happend and will happen. Fires have destroyed posessions for centuries. Sad, but he will survive. Let us be honest. They where personal and probably emotional items he lost. Boo-f-ing-hoo.
This is not a loss for humanity. This is a personal loss. That's it.
Yes, we all could do the backup-and-save-it-on-another-planet routine, but it just isn't worth the trouble in 99.99999% of the time. You win some, you loose some. Get over it and get on with your life.
As much as 10.000USD is way overpriced for a retainer, unless under very rare circimstances, having croocked teeth is not a health issue. Yes, there are situations where it might be the case, but in 99% of the cases it is a cosmetic issue.
Also look at the prices for flights outside your country. For that money you could have take a trip abroad, pay for whatever you needed and have a nice vacation on the side.
The reason he asked 10.000USD is because that is how captalism works. You do not pay the lowest price, you get offerd the price the majority is willing to pay. He rather has 1 customer for 10.000 then 10 for 1.000
That means that many did NOT sign it. Also what are the fines to pay if you did it withouth autoraisation. Are they are going to say "bad boy! Bad, bad boy!" and wave their finger angrily, or are they going to shoot you your famila and your goldfish dead?
Just saying you are not allowed to do that isn't enough. There should, I asume, also some punishment declared.
That ability to call. From anywhere with any provider. Are you so customed to locked phones that you do not even wonder why this is? Do you buy a TV that lets you show only what the vendor wants? Or can you imagine what you would say if a computer only runs the software the vendor wants you to run?
Seriously, the first thing I wuld expect from an iPhone, Kphone, Gphone, whateverPhone is that I can phone people with it. Unrestricted.
There are parts of the world where she would have been killed for this.
There are only two countries I can think of where you would be killed for this. USofA and the UK. In all other places, people will tazer you, hit you over the head or do whatever it takes.
This BS about 'lucky not to have been shot' is just trying to cover their asses. I was once arrested and even while I did everything they said and not posing any thread, they told me I was lucky not to have been shot.
The fact that they were looking for somebody else does not bother me. The fact that they tell me I was "lucky" bothers me. Luck should have nothing to do with it. I know of one Brazilian in the UK who was not that "lucky".
"Hey! Hey! Hey! It's great to be back at the Apollo Theater!" Krusty looks at the sign behind him that reads "Krusty Komedy Klassic" or "KKK" for short. "KKK?! That's not good. Unghhhhh. .."
I'm not so sure about Novell's alignment in the open source world yet.
The have GPLed YaST. They have opend SUSE. They try to open as much as is legaly possible (They can't just OS everything) and are stil, working doing much more OSS. They are adding a lot of people to many OS projects. Basicaly they are gambeling most of their existence on OSS, if not all.
The only thing they have done badly is lousily explain what the deal with Microsoft entails. Basicily they got money from Microsoft who in return will buy SLED (Not SLES, not openSUSE, nothing else) licences which they are forced to give away. Also in return there are intention to work together so there can be better connections between Windows and Linux on request of both their customers.
That last part might or might not be related to OSS. So they are comited to OSS, just as much as they are commited to look after the demands of their customers. Yes, you can do both at the same time.

So how about Scientology then?

This would mean that perhaps all binaries are banned from Usenet.
So how will this be a bad thing?
They will just ask for more resources to handle everything. Then they will make it mandatory.
They just need to have you walking around with your cellphone and access to the mast-information.
It takes X amount to check each person. If they can do 90% before, they can easily do the last 10% later. If they would do everything at the latest moment, most likely they will not be able to do all of them.

Except those who use a differnt way of writing. Those whose language does not even know the word "commerical". (and don't get me started on
So you rather have security through obscurity?
The good writers will still be there. The bad writers will be filterd out much faster.
Compare it to the camera vs painters or horsebreeders vs carmakers. Things evolve and change. Get over it.

Bandwith in Japan is not realy an issue as we have seen.

On Belgian News it was broadcast that Belgian Apple fans went to the US, bought the phone and then unlocked them and are now using them.

What? Two clicks to buy a song from Amazon? Perhaps I can sue them for false advertisement, because they tell me it is only one click.

I got a gift from Universal. A Gwen Stefani CD. So I did not pay for it. So am I now allowed to listen to it or not? I am confused.
Yet it is locked to AT&T. I want to make my own selection. See as if buying a PC without the MS tax.
That means that many did NOT sign it. Also what are the fines to pay if you did it withouth autoraisation. Are they are going to say "bad boy! Bad, bad boy!" and wave their finger angrily, or are they going to shoot you your famila and your goldfish dead?
