...how do I shield myself from the hit, potentially causing headache? Do not recommend Linux for it's "not there yet." I will give KDE a few more years.
By the way, AVG will never auto-update on any system of mine! But when I update manually, all goes well. Do they (AVG) just want to frustrate me in the hope that I will abandon my "free" AVG? If that's what they think, they are doomed!
Why didn't the folks at MythTV use the free ".ogv for Ogg Video" format? It creates smaller files and the quality is quite good. I know because I use it myself.
My challenge with anything video online is my ISP's bandwidth caps. I am capped at 60GB per month combined download and upload. Streaming video can add up fast!
My issues with Firefox only showing a black box for CNN's streaming video was solved. I do not know who solved it...CNN or Firefox folks. But it's good news nonetheless.
I will probably be on the road while the debate is going on...but have Mythbuntu programmed to record the show, including all the pundits' takes after the debate.
The trouble is, MythBuntu creates huge files (2.2 GB for just 1 hr), making disk space run fast.
I just wish my man success.
Can you guess who it is?
...most of the folks that use gadgets are completely oblivious to their surroundings. The other day, one guy who was listening to some kind of rap music, was almost run over by a car as he simply crossed the street against the traffic signal.
In a number of cases, these folks play their music so loud that it even disturbs those around. With this, they put themselves in their own world, make gadget sellers like Steve Jobs rich and place themselves at risk. Ironic!
Gadget makers insulate themselves from the long arm of the law by using a "disclaimer" for lack of a better word.
I still do not get it...How will Google make money. The "Android Kernel" is free. Those who create applications for the Android platform will not pay "royalties" to Google. So I still ask: How will Google make money?
I find that Google's Android looks more ancient as compared to the iPhone. In terms of functionality, I would like to be able to tether both gadgets to my computer as a link to the internet for a computer.
This is not possible with either!
Now, whether Android's openness will make this happen faster, is a wait and see issue. On the other hand, I know Apple is a big surprises company too, so I will not rule it out at this time.
I would like to know from those who have test driven this new release, whether I can copy a PDF URL address link, paste it into the appropriate PDF application, and have the application open the file.
Is this possible? In earlier versions, one had to download the PDF file, then point the application to it...a nonstarter to me!
That's what I meant. You got it, thanks. What we need is a script to grab Postfix and all the necessary addons to create a robust solution.
But I tell you...to get a Linux server running with all pertinent services in today's complex world is a feat in itself.
When one of the components gets an upgrade, chaos can reign. This should not be the case. What I was suggesting would take care of all this and many other issues.
At my company, Microsoft Exchange is quite stable. It processes about 1100 emails per hour. Our admin says that it is admins who do not know what they are doing that give Exchange a bad name. I am sure this applies to the Linux crowd too.
...And because everything eventually touches mail so that means everything would have to be integrated into "one solution"...
Who said that? OK...why not provide such a product for those that want it? Why? Not every body does things on Unix/Linux "the Unix/Linux way." Do you still install your Linux software from source? Gentoo and Slackware had one of their feet on this route. Have you heard of Gobo Linux? They do their stuff another way...and it's exciting.
Ok, let me ask: What would be the problem with a product being put together like I suggested, with this product working exactly as advertised?
Please provide me an answer...What exactly is "the Linux way?"
I have a feeling that it's folks like you that have made Linux not that popular among the Joe Six Packs of today, because you insist on Linux doing things "the Linux way", even when this way does not produce results that one can be proud of in terms of penetration and wide appeal.
Getting these to flawlessly get set-up from scratch is a feat in itself. Why don't we have such a product? I am no coder so I cannot do much except reporting problems.
I imagine a single script a user can run then have all those services running within parameters to be supplied. Linux folks are capable of a lot more so this should not be that difficult.
Just forgot! Add a calendering application [of your choice] to the above line up.
...Zarafa decided to put their successful Exchange server replacement under GPLv3. This is not just the typical mail-server-that-works-with-Outlook, it is the whole package including 100% MAPI, web access, tasks, iCal and Activesync...
While I hail this development, I wonder what "successful" means in this story. Here are questions I might want answered:
Was it "successful" at sales? If so where are the figures? I would not really praise them that much if the original goal - to make money, could not be reached making these fellas to opensource everything...much like what Netscape did years ago.
Was it "successful" at actually replacing Exchange with no [significant] trouble for Systems Administrators? I need to know. How come it is not that known in IT circles? What's going on?
I welcome this new openness on Yahoo!'s part and hope it will allow me as a user to strip out what I regard as junk [stuff] on Yahoo! Mail's interface.
All I want from the service is the ability to see what I want, when I want. Is this too much to ask for? I do not think so.
Coders, point me to the tools I need to get the job done.
How is Gentoo these days? Does it have a full install ISO "bootable" CD? Is it easier to install these days...or does one have to compile stuff overnight as it used to be? One thing I liked about it were the beautiful KDE implementations it showcased.
...they only sued to save Monticello from itself, apparently feeling that the municipality is unprepared for the onerous costs of maintaining such a network, and would lack the expertise to do so...
So the company loves the city more than the city loves itself?
First off, I must say I love HP and its products. I have never been disappointed by any of HP's printers, scanners or complete computer systems both desktop and notebook.
So it's my hope that a Linux OS from HP will continue to "deliver" on my part.
HP will find most of the "infrastructure" in Linux already in place. What is required is to add some polish and sensible [meaningful] defaults to GNOME or KDE for desktop environments. The areas in which I find these environments still wanting are the following:
1: Let's be able to configure shares easily. Right now its a mess and as a matter of fact, KDE does not seem to have something to represent Microsoft's "Add network places."
2: Fonts still terrible on Linux. I will jump with joy the day fonts on a Linux machine will look beautiful bey default. Right now, one has to install Microsoft's TT fonts and/or do some compilation. This is a non starter.
3: Software installation is still a mess. The other day, I tried to get Adobe's Flash player installed on a Debian system and I was not that successful till I installed from source. I do not see Joe Six Pack going through this.
This is what I hope HP will consider...
Put more resources to help the KDE folks with their product. It looks very very promising.
Does this justify the word "crisis?" I doubt it does. In my opinion "conundrum" would be a better word.
At first read, the heading made me think that Red Hat and Fedora communities were bickering big time, threatening timely releases of software we have [all] come to rely on. Of course this is not the case.
So why the sensational heading?

I submit that this project, though good in itself, would be of no use and therefore a waste of time in Ontario, Canada because the government over there will not license a similar project from a local manufacturer, Zenn http://www.zenncars.com/.
You wonder who these folks in government are working for. I suspect that they are protecting big oil.
Their argument is that these cars have not been proven to be safe on [Canadian] roads, though these same cars are available in the USA where they have not caused any trouble.

To me, this is the crux of the matter. Dells indecision tells it all. I have had close interaction with folks at DELL and what strikes me, is their apparent indecision when it comes to matters that require immediate attention.
I cannot be convinced that with all the "spying" that goes on withing the PC and Notebook markets, DELL did not know that HP was outsourcing and saving a bunch. They knew but did nothing!
To make matters worse, HP produces better hardware as compared to DELL, in my opinion. So they must be doing something better than DELL.
If they (KDE folks), finally settle on Webkit, it will be better for them. With Konqueror, I kind-of got tired and sick of having to change my user agent in order to even view contents of a web site's home page. Even in the beginning, it appeared to me that KHTML was a non-starter.

I wish the Linux platform had a "one solution" product for these services. The services pegged to Postfix that I am talking about include: -
Mailman/Mailing Lists, Autoresponders, Greylisting, POP3/IMAP, unlimited domains, Sender Policy Framework (SPF), per-user filtering, per-domain policy rules, ClamAV virus, Filtering and Spamassassin Spam Filtering.

This situation is similar to Apple's and Microsoft's OS.
Though many believed Apple's OS was better in many ways, it never really caught on. Other reasons might be behind this too, I agree.
Simply put, KHTML is better in many ways but "better" is not and has never been a panacea for success.
If they (KDE folks), finally settle on Webkit, it will be better for them. With Konqueror, I kind-of got tired and sick of having to change my user agent in order to even view contents of a web site's home page. Even in the beginning, it appeared to me that KHTML was a non-starter.
