If the phone companies positioned T1's for home use, the prices would come down dramatically, because T1 backbones or other high-bandwith service would be everywhere.
In the beginning, phone service was expensive, people had "party lines", that is shared phone lines with their neighbors.
If you don't live in America, why should it bother you what kind of health care system we have?
Besides Our government screwed up Social Security and Medicare already, they're both going bankrupt... So we should let them do the same thing with healthcare? I think not!;^)
Newt is a futurist, and generally against government regulations. This does not surprise me coming from him
He has been severly crucified by the media since 1994. Most people don't take the time to really listen to what he says, they just hear out of context quotes from him.

Such a system already exists -- education research facilities work this way. Most inventions (as opposed to 'innovations' in the Gatesque sense) come out of such facilities.
So researchers at Universities don't get paid in money? Hmmm, that's news to me.
University research typically does not generate its own funding. It usually comes in the form of grants which come from either evil corporations that made the money by exploiting IP laws or from the benevolent government that got its money by taxing the profits of the evil corporations who exploit IP laws
At any rate, I fail to see how your education research example can be a valid model for the whole economy
Actually no. It (sadly like many such systems before it) allows the highest standards of living for a few, an admittedly nice standard for more, and absolute piss-shit crap for the rest.
I find that in many cases the people in the piss-shit crap conditions brought it on themselves
A personal example, my wife has a friend from work who lives in essentially a ghetto. This girl is hard working, makes a decent salary, (more than my wife in fact) so why is she living in poverty? Because she is living with a worthless guy who pisses away her money, doesn't work, sits at home all day and plays Nintendo. He's in trouble with the law, etc. And despite the fact that everyone tells her that she has to leave him, she won't hoping that he'll change.
Is she a victim of capatalism? Or her own stupidity?
What about the compulsive gambler who blows all his/her money? Are we supposed to come up with a social system that makes sure that they always have enough money, despite the fact that they are more likely to gamble it away than they are to provide enough for themselves?
The difference between a socialist and corporate state is that Socialists don't trust corporations, but they do, for some reason, trust a monopolistic, centralized government.
Your landlord probably has a mortgage on your property, he/she is responsible for the property taxes, water bills, and maybe some of the other utilities.
He/she is also responsible for the upkeep of the property. In short, most of what you pay in rent, the landlord does not keep for him/herself.
What's your solution? Should you just be given a place to live? And who will pay the builders, upkeep, etc?
I work for a software development company that develops for Oracle (and other DBs). One of our Development machines has Oracle on Linux (8.0.5) and we have several Sun Machines that have (8.0.5, 7.3.4 and 7.3.2 workgroup installed)
My experience is that Oracle 8.0.5 on Linux on a PII-300mhz is faster than Oracle 8.0.5 on a UltraSparc 5- 233Mhz, but I'm sure the PII is a faster processor to begin with.
The version of Oracle that was available for download for Linux does not have all the features that the shrink-wrapped Solaris version has.
As far as stability-- the Linux Oracle has never failed us, I can't say the same of the Solaris, but we also have more, careless people banging on the Sun boxes.
It's cool, but not very compatible with newer web standards.
Supreme Court chair for RMS ?
on
RMS on APSL
·
· Score: 1
There is no way in hell Bill Clinton (or any other president) would nominate RMS for Supreme Court Justice. He is not already a judge, nor does he have a law degree that I am aware of.
In fact, Bill Clinton probably doesn't even know who RMS is.

Yep, a standard, just like HP PCL5

What's really different now is that class barriers are gone. The poor can work up to middle class or even rich, the rich can fail and become poor.
In the Middle ages, you were a noble or a serf, and you stayed that.

I think the original post probably referred to Solaris x86
I often get fatal installation errors on Solaris too. If you try to install the "Unix installer" for instance, the install will fail."
Also, if you forget to change the kernel parameters on Solaris, the Install will fail near the end without indication as to what the problem is.
Don't put Oracle Linux on mission-critical servers yet, but we are happily using Linux Oracle for development.
Most people I run across, even NT users, laugh or shudder at the thought of Oracle on NT.
The company that I used to work for tried Oracle on NT, but went back to HP/UX.
They use the same install program on HP/UX and Solaris, and probably every other Unix.
The Windows version uses a similar (but prettier looking) install, and doesn't even use InstallShield.
No, I don't think they'll do RPMs

How about a 128-bit strong version for libc6?

Sorry to burst your bubble.
Isn't that the Same "N" logo that Navigator 1.0 used?
It crashed twice on me in 10 minutes (well hung, not crashed) One of the things it crashed on was the included sample #13!
The rendering also did not seem faster than 4.0 to me,
Have you tried Xvidtune?
Many systems, the default Xsetup shows up off-center, and sometimes fuzzy. You can usually use xvidtune to fix these problems.
Let me ask this question:
If the XFree drivers are so great, then how come two companies, Metrolink and Xig can make money selling Xservers with better drivers?
You have to make sure that the GGI environment variables are set right, and you also need the shared SVGAlibs installed
