For me, a noisy HD makes me sick. I have this seagate HD which must make some thuds as it gets activity. Heck it does not even want to die. It's now 6 years old with no bad sectors!
I am sure they (CISCO) have some Mozilla/Firefox on these PCs. Question is: How have they decided o manage it? Central managing of Mozilla/Firefox is still not [officially] possible now. Any ideas?
Let IBM slap any flavor of Linux on the desktop or pay some group to do it. Then I will really be happy with them. I know that my wishes do not determine IBM's strategy whatsoever, but this does not prevent me from wishing.
Right now Ubuntu looks OK for the Gnomers and XandrOS is just fine for the KDErs [IMHO]. The most important thing here is to have a desktop that works out-of-the-box.
Yes, on a related technological point, I once noted here at Slashdot, that we as Americans tend to over engineer. In the process, we make everything complex. After the recent missile interceptor failures, I am now even more hungry for good news. Who knows whether simulations relied on in earlier days were never valid at all? Now there is this news too....where should I stop?
They (NASA) should emulate the Russians with simplicity. This reminds me of the US$10,000,000 dollar pen while the Russians simply used a pencil. As Americans, we over engineer, and in the process, waste resources. If one looks at the details of the vehicle the Russians are designing for Mars, there is simplicity at work with very complex issues to handle. In the process of over engineering, we add complexity and then brag about what our achievements are. I guess it is because of the one biggest evil in capitalism - MONEY. Somewhere somehow, a bureaucrat or his/her colleagues is getting money, not caring that much about the Union of States (USA).
I guess in the very near future, these Russians will suprise us with another space achievement at a cost we can not dream about...then we will worry about who might get hands on this technology.
Though Yahoo says the toolbar is for Firefox on Windwos, it works well on Firefox for Linux. Why won't Yahoo say the toolbar also works on Linux? We'd help them iron out the bugs if any. I have not found any problems so far on either platform.
Debian is very conservative in upgrades. I understand that it is why Debian is very stable too. They (Debian) wait for the early adopters (Mandrake et al...) to see and iron out the bugs. Why are you anonymous?
[...] "There's very little that can be more disastrous to your case than an angry federal judge."[...]
It seems the judge is very angry with SCO at this point but is also trying to remain impartial. It is suprising that in recent days, SCO stock has seen a rally. Why is this?
It seems to me that podcastion is the same as recording some sounds, providing a link to a website where the recordings can be downloaded by whoever is interested. Am I correct?
If that is the case, then I'd say that many stations have been doing this for a long time. Nothing new...save for the iPOD.
Tread carefully my friend! You are in the US, where frivolous law suites can be filed anytime, against anyone.
You will be caught and be fined heavily! Just ask the other teenager how fun sitting in court was. This is not to mention damage to your entire professional life (I assume it exists).
Slashdotters here might encourge you, but remember that you will be sitting in the dock alone. In other words, you will be answer for YOU. Now before I get modded down, I be to remind whoever might read this that what I am saying is FACT.
For those who are more knowledgeable...are we in the regime of Microsoft's Trusted Computing? I know Microsoft will continue to spew out info emphasizing a renewed effort in secure computer environments.
Let them outsource the work to the Russians. Heck, they can do everything that we Americans, can at one-third the cost. In fact, they can even do more like remotely controlling multiple-head [nuclear] missiles with pin point accuracy, all at costs our CTOs, CFOs and CEOs do not want to hear.
Afterall, outsourcing is the lingua franca in Washington these days. Now, before I get modded, these are facts.
Firefox is ONLY a browser while Mozilla in addition to being a development platform, is a combination of a Gecko based browser, e-mail client, a news reader and a calender program. I understand several other functionalities may be in the works.
from the article: "[...] but the loosely organized event ran into an embarrassing glitch Saturday when two big screens betrayed the fact that the computer was running on Windows, with the operating system's toolbar visible at the bottom of the screens.[...]
This is unacceptable. Why did they even have Windows systems anywhere arround? Let me hope these systems were not brought in by one inclined to subotage the whole event. M$ must be laughing...!
This is to the EU (European Union) and MA (Massachusettes), plus all those who want to bend the likes of MS.
They should draw their terms, make them known to all stake holders and put a close that says something to the effect that the likes of MS, by submitting whatever they submitting, agree to the terms. These terms could be GPL/LGPL or whetever they license they choose. This would save them (EU & MA), the burden of having to interprete whatever MS and others mean in their licences.
In effect, they should tell whoever wants to participate that MA and the EU plus all those who might decide to use the submitted works will not be sued under any circumstances by any entity...or that in case they are sued, the submitters will have to meet the full costs.
That would be Viidalinux http://desktop.vidalinux.com/. It's packaging system (Portage)is wonderful, and I have also seen a review claiming that it's Gentoo done right! This is not meant to mean that Gentoo has any problem. I tend to agree with that claim after taking a test drive of the two.
...is for Google, if the browser news is true, that they base it on Firefox and INCLUDE all extensions people add to Firefox in the browser's installation script. Of course these should be [installation] options.
What you call censorship is relative depending on who you ask. But one thing I can guarantee you is that China's most expensive city (Shanghai) is way cheaper than a comparable US city.

All tech houses seem to be in the North...nothing in the south? Why? Will this be called the GooglePlex?

That's a 1-0 for FOSS. But let's keep in mind that the other side will not give up that easily.

Yes, so does the US. It also has these weapons.

I am very pleased and happy to learn from the article, that these phones have lots to do with Linux. What can I say? Go Linux go...!

Ohh! Better check on it now.
Mine will be kept on a real Hard Disk. What I have now is a 120GB, 7,200 rpm Maxtor HD, which has never disappointed me at all.

My employer for eample, will be a hard nut to crack in getting him convinced that VOIP is viable. What should my strategy be?
