As fast if not faster than linux. Also, IIRC (don't flame me, correct me if I'm wrong) most linux variants of packaging systems were derived from BSD.
As for worrying about about the packaging system... you only need two utilities, and two config files. cvsup-without-gui and portupgrade. It's literally as simple as portinstall *package you want*. And if you want it updated portupgrade *package to be updated*. You just have to keep your ports tree up to date and you'll have the most up to date versions available. It's probably one of the simplest systems I've ever seen. Also, there's portaudit which will automatically scan the security lists to see if any of your installed packages are vulnerable. And finally the "portupgrade -a" command which will update everything (although I can't say I recommend this one) but if that's your cup of tea, it makes it real simple.
you can have an E for effort. Unfortunately for you, XP still shows the bluescreen BEFORE it reboots. So unless you aren't at the computer when it BSOD's, you'll still see it. Next.
Let's train our students on software that they'll never see in the workplace so when they get into the real world and someone says "what's your experience with Microsoft office?" they can respond with "uhhh... none?"
I'm *SURE* the businesses will just change to open source though and spend billions of dollars instead of outsourcing to countries who have experience with microsoft office... I mean... look how hard they're trying to keep jobs in this country right now... oh...
No, but I can tell you don't, and never have worked in a financial institution, where firefox isn't now, and probably won't ever be a viable alternative as all the internal web-based programs REQUIRE IE.
Next time you get 1.5mbit upload on your cable let me know. What the article also fails to explain is that the line is really 3mbit split anyway you like. 1.5mbit/1.5mbit is just one choice... you can also do 1mbit/2mbit, or.5mbit/2.5mbit etc, etc.
you didn't hit *them* you hit the company hosting the article. Funny part is, *them* is where mirrordot is hosted... you know... the mirror to slashdot articles that can't be slashdotted;) Looks like *them* is doing a fine job of handling the slashdotting every day of the week.
And they're the only ones that matter to microsoft. Does microsoft care if joe coder makes his own O/S? Hell no. Microsoft cares about IBM, and SUSE, and REDHAT, people who can actually give major corporations support. I hate to break it to you, but your local DMV isn't switching to Gentoo anytime soon, because... taht's right... they want support. And any *open source* company that's offering support has a leader. And THOSE are the only people Microsoft REALLY cares about.
are you really that stupid? It's 30 million unique visitors a day... that doesn't mean it's not the same 30 million from the day before, it means they have 30 million UNIQUE visitors, versus 30 million HITS, half of which may have been from just 1 person. Welcome to teh intraweb, pleze enjoy ur stay keke!
what good does that do when apple's version of KHTML is no longer compatible with the real thing? When their rendering is about as compatible as firefox and IE... need I say more?
man, that common sense thing must just elude you. Too bad the main graphics of Longhorn WERENT EVEN ENABLED in those screenshots... not to mention, if you were actually following longhorn at all you'd also know that what they have included in beta builds (that you can enable through some command line functions) isn't even a fully working version. GG on not having a clue wtf you're talking about.
It's called "teaching your kids responsible practices early in life". He probably doesn't want them to be "that guy" who uses "God" for every password. And can't figure out why their accounts keep getting "hax0r'd".
I apologize, I should've been more specific. I was refering to say... if you hit and killed someone. I'm almost positive you would not be jailed for murder. IANAL though, and I could be wrong, perhaps that analogy sucked:>
I'd love that personally... I'm pretty sure you can counter-sue as a civil suit for frivelous lawsuits. IANAL, but I swear that that's possible. I wouldn't mind hitting the RIAA up for a couple mill for harassment, defamation of character, wasting my time, etc. etc.
Even if they found out it was come from her IP... what proof do they have that "SHE" downloaded the stuff?
Let me make up a quick defense or two here...
"I had an open wireless access point, someone else must've been stealing my bandwidth."
"There's a trojan on my computer, I didn't download that stuff, I don't know how it got on there."
They didn't even seize her computer, they don't even have proof of it being on her hard drive, so how the hell can they make a claim against her?
If I leave my car in my driveway, and someone steals it and kills someone, since when am "I" the one who's charged with murder? This is news to me, and I think I need to leave the country if that's how it really works.
Or better yet, if someone cuts my brake lines, and I hit another car, that's "MY" fault? Apparently the RIAA decided there are no longer laws in this country... I'm pretty sure their are still one or two though, and that their case has about as good of a chance standing up in court as a piece of tissue paper has of replacing the hoover dam.
**Note I only feel confident posting this because I am *NOT* on comcast. I'm sure the RIAA would be sending me a bill/collection agency for "defamation of character" if I were.
Is there even a contest... how can you people want comcast to get your business? They suck, period. They jack prices constantly for no apparent reason (other than the fact they have no competition). Their service was always sub-par... went down without notice... generally crap.
Then we have cablevision (optimum online anyone?) How could anyone ever prefer never-ending price jacks with substandard service to optimum online? "no, I'd rather pay 100$/mo for 4mbit down instead of 40$/mo for 10mbit down 5mbit up (or whatever optimum is nowadays). This seems like such a no brainer to me... if I were an adelphia customer I'd be out in the streets protesting anything but a cablevision buyout.
someone needs to fix that "author" of MSBlast, this kid didn't author anything. He downloaded a copy of it off the internet and changed two lines so that it would grab the worm from his server of choice.
He's running around buying things that are under 25$... news flash, you don't NEED a signature for thing's that cheap. Hence: pay at the pump gas stations. Is he really that out of touch? Try buying 6k$ worth of furniture and let us know if they check.
Did you happen to read the changelog AT ALL? Granted it hasn't been ported to linux at all but you know it will be sooner or later... And it has every feature you listed...
The fact that Solaris runs on x86 hardware already gives them a jump start. If they could make anything close to OSX for x86 I do believe they'd be kicking some major A$$.

Apparently reading comprehension owns you. That'd be why he said "based on price/performance" not "based on market share".

little bit of rubbing alcohol will take that right off... oh crap... ink going with it... *foiled again*
First??? No. Qwest has offered this for several months now.
you're not supposed to actually tell him that, you just submit it to a collection agency silly!
