  1. Re:Lobby your school district for K12LTSP! on Ditching Microsoft Could Save Education Millions · · Score: 1

    There is a LTSP + OpenMosix blend that someone implemented. I don't think the performacne difference was compelling though because the way Mosix processes spread through the cluster.

  2. Lobby your school district for K12LTSP! on Ditching Microsoft Could Save Education Millions · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You can save tons on licenses and expensive hardware. Also you can teach children how computers actually work instead of giving them what MS wants the PC to be ... a glorified VCR.

    The reason is this . In America , you have the RIGHT to be left alone. We are not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic in which all citizens are the sovern entity with rights embued by the creator and some enumerated in the Constitution.The government is in place to protect those rights. The government has no inherent interest in knowing a citizen's identity other than the interest of tyranny.

  10. Re:I wonder about the third world. on Sony Online To Sell Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    At least my internet connection is a physical based in reality. Everquest items are twice removed from reality because they have derived their value not from their intrisic usefulness in the real world.These items are electronic respresentations of an imaginary object whose value relative if derived from a group fantasy! Now I might use my internet connection for mental masturbation but that is not it's only use.

    I wonder how people in the Sudan and Afghanistan would feel about this.... People trading imaginary commodities for enough cash to feed themseves for a more than year. This is very sad and an imbarrasment for the entire species when human life is literally worth less than someone's entertainment . Especailly when that entertainment is derived from a piss poor simulation of realty.

    I agree completely.Haveing tinkered with LTSP there is a huge savings potential here. And of course , MS is late to the game on this issue. There are already a several boot to Windows Terminal server options out there already. Available in floppy , cd , or network boot form. There are a few Linux Live cds that have Remote Desktop Client included. Sorry MS party is over.

    He lost it not far into article. it was about at this point. "Much of Windows' internal development in Windows 3.1 and 3.11 was to make Windows network-aware and largely self-configuring.
