For me it is the right tool at the right time. Some times I edit files directly with vi. Other times I use the YaST GUI.. It is as if you ask a carpenter what he uses, a hammer or a screwdriver.
They are not realy OR/OR questions, they should be AND/AND questions.
Oh and using YaST can be done form the CLI as well.;-)
Uh. The reason it is default is because they want to take as many steps away as possible for the SLES and SLED version.
It is only default. If you wish, you can still install KDE, XFCE, Windowmaker or whatever you like. You can even make your own SUSE based distribution for your company, including your own logo's and software (Eat that RedHat and CentOSS)
Also openSUSE still leaves you the choice as what you want to install.
So So saying that Novell is pushing GNOME is mere FUD. I would say they worked hard to bring GNOME on the same level as their KDE.
In Belgium the way to go would be to sue an unknown person. It is then up to the court to demand evidence from the provider. No evidence or identity may be given to the suer, their lawer or anybody else. Only to the court by court order.
What has happend is that the Belgian *AA wanted to file many, many, many lawsuits. The courts said something like: go f*ck a duck. We are not going to harrass people who did just share. Please come back when you have people who are making money over it. Those are the people we will put money and efford in, but we are not going to sue the whole country.
Sounds reasonable to me and yes, they do that with other things as well.
The nice thing is that people whi have to deal with this kind of bullshit will just do what they are told, and nothing more. The places I have worked all it would save you was the money you spend on a very cheap call.
You will be serviced later, because the mail needs to go through the whole command chain. You will get answers later, because it has to go through the whole command chain. You won't get any specific favours. You won't be getting anything better. You will have to deal with the same people you would have to deal anyway.
Unless you are a personal friend of the CEO, you won't get nothing more or less.
Yes, I have said to managers and CEO's that I will call them back when queus are down and that we will treat the person with the same standards as everybody else.
If the CEO does not agree with those standards, I am happy to change those standards on HIS budget and after discussing the impact it will have on other things.
But then perhaps it is because I already deliver. I only have it happen twice. One was up an down a complete food chain, because a person knew the CEO. The other time was because somebody thought he was importand and did not want to talk to support. The first was apersonal favour to the CEO. he second was an idiot who wanted to sound interesting. He still got to talk to first level and we did absolutely no favours, while it would have been easy to do so.

If you get the job, not, but if you don't get the job, it is very unfair to have been strangled into signigh it to get only an interview.
Google is coming to Belgium and each and every lawer and court will dismiss this as unlegal. The only thing the person needs to say is that if he hadn't signed it, he would not have gotten an interview and therefor no chance of getting a job.
The law in Belgium has some strict lines between witch it can work. If you step outside those lines, the default will step in and they are ALWAYS in favour of the (potential) employee. As long as you understand that as an employer, there is no real problem.

Non-competes are mostly valid in Belgium, how ever they are in favour of the emplyee all the time and that is what most companies forget.
I have just signed one. Say I want to leave the company and work at an anrelated company, I can still say that because I was not allowed for direct competition, I am entiteld to whatever was agreed upon and if there was no agreement, the court will apoint one that is most of the time whatever you earned over the period agreed (6 months or one year)
So that would mean that I would get double payment over that period. Most of the time the company is not willing to pay that amount and just drops the contract, making it a standard contract will all the benefits and rights that comes with it, including working for the competition.
What I think is disturbing is that it looks as if it somehow strange that a volunteer doesn't get paid. Well, welcome to the real world. Volunteers are not in it for the recogniton or whatever and if they are, they should get the hell out.
I note one proposal to make this Congress a two-house body. Excellent-- the more impediments to legislation the better.
But, instead of following tradition, I suggest one house of legislators, another whose single duty is to repeal laws. Let the legislators pass laws only with a two-thirds majority... while the repealers are able to cancel any law through a mere one-third minority.
Preposterous? Think about it. If a bill is so poor that it cannot command two-thirds of your consents, is it not likely that it would make a poor law? And if a law is disliked by as many as one-third is it not likely that you would be better off without it?

I also explain it using tubes when people ask about bandwith. The tubes are as different size. Also when they can't download at a certain speed at some times. That is because the pipes are a fixed witdth and there is a maximum amount of water/data that can go thought it.
It often depends on what part I want to explain on how I explain it. The above is the more technical side. Then there is the human side. It is just a bunch of people.
The difficult part is to explain why you pay so much for a phonecall, yet you do not pay anything (extra) for connections all over the world and that for any amount of time.
The internet is something we know about, so we can interpret the laws. How many laws are out that that we do NOT know how it works, or is there a reason to believe Internet laws are different?
Reminds me that I must record my slamming with a metal stick on a metal plate. I will record 2. I will only put the first one online, because I like it more. One I call A, the other B. As I also have wood (a and b) I will call it metallicA.mp3
The next part is to wayt for the RIAA to sue me and then counter-sue the hell out of them.

The fact that it doesn't happen like SF stories tell, doesn't nmake much difference.
