"WWT's interface is better"... but only on windows... So for the schools, third-world countries, etc. we've read about who are adopting Linux... Microsoft pretends they don't exist?
Damn. Seems nobody got the joke (yet). When EDS purchased somewhere back in the late 80s, I think, it is rumoured that Ross Perot thought he was purchasing GM, rather than the other way around.
I guess if I have to explain it, it's not funny.:(
After failing to negotiate a deal with HP two years ago to buy ACS, HP just said "Take That!" by buying a huge ACS competitor. ACS sucked and I hear EDS isn't any better.
EDS sucks. Trust me. I was contracted to General Motors for many years. (No, I wasn't EDS).
Well, the SRR for UNIX released last month is only supported on specific flavors:
Solaris 2.5.1 through Solaris 10; HP-UX 11.0,HP-UX 11.11; Red Hat Enterprsie Linux 3 and 4; and AIX 4.3. FSO cannot guarantee the accuracy of these scripts if they are used on other UNIX versions.
That means if you are running any other version/flavor, you're going to need to review the script and modify it as necessary.
Beer is a craft. It isn't the same as software because the same program (recipe) won't always produce the same result. The program I wrote yesterday will run the same any time of year. Beer, on the other hand, cares when I make it. Around here, we don't brew between May and October.
Creating an open source beer project... I don't see the point. A good beer recipe will often include things like how much to make (large vs. small batches), what type of equipment is known to work best, how much and how quickly to heat and cool the brew, etc.
Even armed with all of that information, no you won't necessarily get identical results -- you're talking about brew made from natural ingredients. It's like cooking. Just as you would follow a recipe for baking a cake from scratch, no cakes will be identical, but two cakes baked from the same recipe will be pretty similar. The same is true of brewing beer -- follow the same recipe and use the same or similar equipment and two brewers will get similar, but not necessarily identical results.
Sure, skill plays into it. Like cooking, it's part art and part science. But the science part is what you can open source. The rest is just up to the brewer.
And, yes, as a matter of fact, I have brewed my own beer.
In most U.S. states, brewing beer for personal/family use is okay without a license. What's considered personal/family use? In most states, it's a LOT of beer. Like 200 gallons per calendar year by ATF regs -- this is the same for most U.S. states.
The consumer beer is lighter (in colour and taste), because that's what you can drink in large quantities. Yeah, for the most part, but that depends greatly on the brand. Sam Adams makes beers that are much closer in quality to so-called "microbrews": they're far darker, richer and more full-bodied than your typical Budwater^H^H^H^H^Hweiser, Miller, etc. I'm especially fond of their October Fest brew, which is only available about 3 months out of the year.
How about making it so that in this day and age you can actually mail a package and not have to worry about it getting lost along the way? I'd find that much more useful.
That already exists. It's called "Express Mail." Make sure you select "insured shipping."
File sharing? FILE SHARING? You gotta be joking! Oh, no, let's ignore.. oh I don't know... sexual predators... or, identity theft... and jump straight to the fsck'n FILE SHARING!
Well, pardner, 'round these here parts file sharin' is a hangin' offense.
That depends. If only students with a history of truancy are tagged, then I don't have a problem with this. However, as with all things handled by the government, they will eventually expand it to automatically tag all students, regardless of their attendance record.

:(

In related news, EDS brought in former chairman and CEO Ross Perot as a consultant on the deal, who thought it was a great idea.
Today, they asked Perot what he thought of the deal, and he said: "I think it's great they're buying HP!"
There was no one available for comment from large EDS customer General Motors.
Right, but the requirements are the same for the Gold Disk, no?

Well, other than the fact that you can't seem to distinguish the difference between 'ham' and 'bacon', no, not really. ;)
Dear linuxpyro,
Where would we get the money needed for an election campaign? They only seem to be handing it out to shills, shysters and despots these days.
Thanks,

Dear Jasyn,
We would if anybody but shills, shysters and despots were running.
Thanks,
