I hate to disagree but I've tried Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, Yoper, and gods know how many more, but I keep comming back to SuSE because it works with minimal effort on my part.
Put in a DVD and go, and YAST is one of the best tools I've come across.
9.3 Worked/Works wonderfully on my Inspiron 5150 laptop, but 10 couldn't even boot.
On the otherhand my Athlon 64 3400+ loves 10 but 9.3 wouldn't even install.
I've used a Via and unless I had a specific function in mind I wouldn't do so again. I think Transmeta got out of the processor market and Motorola spun off the processor division which is call Freescale I think.
I did that for my history class about two semesters back, but most of the time they can be had off Amazon for about $30 a book. The problem occurs with technical courses requiring something specific which means school book store markup.
I'm sorry to hear about your wife. It hurts.
What? The College fund is the Army College Fund. The GI Bill when I went in was $12,000. The College fund was a further $13,000. This is paid out currently, at least for me at a rate of about $600 a month. Now, as far as the Racial thing, I am white. Funny, and my girlfriend who isn't paid for her own college education out of her own pocket and through student loans.
Neither of us have ever asked for a handout. I am annoyed that the only apartments we could find that fell within what I view as a reasonable rent range ($900-$1000) for a 1 bedroom were all affordable dwellings and we make to much to qualify. But we moved a bit further out and landed a nice one for $1120. Now my family in FL thinks this is insane. My fathers mortgage is less then my rent and he has a house.
I'm holding off the student loans until I get to the 4 year university. I'm 5 classes from my associates at a community college that is running over $1000 a semester including books and parking for three classes at 3 credits per class. I also live in Northern Virginia which means $1120 a month for a 1 bedroom in a neighborhood where you can make the run from your car to the front door is affordable because I make just over the limit to qualify for affordable housing. I'm looking for a new job, do in home tech support in my free time, and live comfortably within my means. Which is why I have a Hyundai, voip over the community dsl, and a 1 bedroom. I also get my books off Amazon usually for less then the buy back price.
Tuition has gone from ~60 a credit hour to roughly $80.00 a credit hour this comming semester. Parking has gone from $25 to $45 and books go up every semester. I priced last semester at the bookstore and it would have run $320 giver or take before sales tax. I expect to spend at or around $3000 a semester this time next year when I switch over to a four year. My main complaint is that without the GI-Bill and College Fund I wouldn't have the discretionary income to afford the classes I take now and I know people who didn't qualify for assistance who have been priced out of community college.
Except that most of the wage increases since 1975 have only gone to the to 20% of the population. There is also a growing disparety in wages earned between those who have access to education and those who do not. I wouldn't say all is well with the Republic.
As an American who is putting himself through college on his low wages and the remainder of the GI-Bill and College fund I can see why too. Tuition goes up every semester at a rate higher then my merit increases, and if I hadn't done three I would never have been able to afford it. Without that education I would probably be stuck in one of the dead end jobs I have held since getting laid off twice in 6 months back in '01. Oh, and the cost of gasoline for my Hyundai doesn't help either. $40 weekly fill ups with no access to reliable public transportation don't make paying for those $300 worth of books any easier if I want to eat at the same time.
I can't agree with that. I work for a company as a mid-level peon, higher then some peons, lower then others. But when my company does well and my doing my job well is a part of that sucess I am given a bonus. That is my share for doing more then is strictly necessary as a chair warmer.
Now, if I sat in my rectangle and just kept my chair warm and burned electricity and bandwidth surfing slashdot then I agree with you.
I hate to say this, but you are wrong. You see the problem with what you describe as capitalism is that by laying off the workers and seeking to only reward the investors you are eliminating the single largest market for products.
If I have no job I can not buy goods and services. The companies that rely on the middle class to buy goods and services will in turn no longer need suppliers as they will be out of business. When those companies go so will the ones that feed them all the way back to the begining of the loop.
So in seeking the highest return for their investors these companies need to start thinking of the most lucrative market they have right now. The one where they got their start. If we don't jobs here to buy anything with who is IBM going to sell ecommerce solutions or servers to? I won't be buying online, I won't have money, and neither will you. So keep laying off those workers, when we run out of jobs to retrain in guess what, you've all killed the host.
I don't know. I got out in 97, and the GI Bill & Army College fund proved very difficult to use because I still needed to pay up front. A bit of an entry barrier there.
As for job skills, well I was an Infantry anti-tank specialist, read non-electric pop-up target. Aside from being fantastic with a buffer and some mechanical skills involving the Bradley I found them wanting.
Now waiving my DD214 durring interviews has landed me two jobs, I can't complain there. Veterans are Veterans, and we seem to take care of each other.
Would I do it again, oh yeah, that Javalin missle looks like fun.
Well, my Radeon X700Pro w/256meg is able to play just about anything I throw at it with respectable frame rates and good detail settings. I bought it online for $121 including shipping. That is just over $100, sure it isn't the best and brightest card but it works and isn't really that far down the food chain.
This is true, but this is why people need to weight their choices and read the information put in front of them. I agree 911 should be one standard applied to all, but when some of the VOIP providers have tried to impliment it they found a brick wall put up by the incumbents. Their are also technical limitations that need to be worked around. If someone does want VOIP like myself they need to make sure they know what they are buying and the providers make that very easy these days, and make sure that the information entered is correct and that the service is activated.
I don't agree with the lawsuites or with the regulation simply because I think the companies have done what they can.
Personally I know the risk and honestly my cell phone is normally closer and used more often. But I wanted a house and business line so I put in VOIP.
But in the middle of the night if I need to dial 911 I will probably reach for the cell charger on the nightstand and not go searching for the cordless phone.
The only way someone could not be aware is if the person who established the service did not make them aware of the limitations. At that point Liability is passed to the account holder who is aware of the limitations.
"911 Dialing is NOT automatic. You must activate 911 Dialing for each number on your account. To activate or change activation information, choose a number below."
This is from the Features page of my Vonage account. I have to go to this page to set up my account. When I signed up for Lingo I had to read the information and agree to it before I could sign up, and Sunrocket was similar. And even then I have heard from other users in my area that 911 works.
If people are to bothered to learn about the service they are purchasing they are liable, I don't complain when my credit card charges me interest on my account, or when I have to pay a late fee at the library, they post this information in noticable places. VOIP providers do the same. The key difference is that when dealing with 911 services the customers life or a loved ones life may be in danger so it is more important to pay attention when they all but shout that the 911 service is not true 911 or may not be true 911 where that customer lives while that customer is filling in their information.
I think of it like this. I have Vonage and Sunrocket. I had Lingo.
All three providers informed me in a noticable manner, Lingo going so far as to make it a mandatory part of the sign up, that 911 is not the same as that on a POT's line.
I know what I have, I can't help but know, so anyone saying otherwise must not have either a. signed up for service, b. read the website durring sign up, or c. never have loged into their account to set up anything.
"At the White House, press secretary Scott McClellan said he couldn't say specifically whether Mr. Bush signed Standard Form 180, but the president did request and release his own military records in February.
"I don't believe he signed any form, but he did authorize making his military records available publicly," Mr. McClellan said. "We have released all the records, and reporters were allowed to look at his medical records as well."
Yes, the National Gaurd is a branch of the US Military. But until the last few years it wasn't called up unless their was a state of emergency within the state. That role is now changing. I did three active in the Army as an 11M,C2 then went on to be an 11B in the Gaurd.
And by the way I would take it as a personal insult if someone didn't speak their political opinion. Critizing that coward in the white house and the rest of his buddies who all failed to serve when the poorest American couldn't get out it is no insult to any American, especially those who have paid.
They paid so that everyone of us could speak our mind, saying that someone is being disresptful to them when they are critical of Bush or his cabal is an insult to those men and women. An dif you need to know why go re-read the oath you swore.
But that is part of the problem really. There is this sick twisted obsessive desire to see Star Wars movies. And in Three D no less, the had may fly off the screen.

Wasn't that included in SuSE 10? I've just scratched the surface of that release so I've not gotten to everything yet.

So true, so very, very true
I haven't seen that feature, but I can't get to one of the screens for some reason. But good idea.
