But since they are all yours you would still have so much over the limit even with multiple accounts. I don't think it works that way when you have multiple accounts, otherwise I think more people would already do that.
It varies by state and local government... National, State, and local each have their own they tax. In my home town they have an extra 1.5% above the city where I go to college.
Ok, wait someone who uses Linux is switching distros and you care why? All those reasons you stated do not make a difference when it comes to this story.
I would have made the same comment there if I had commented on it... Plus anyone else who is going to "jump ship" I don't care still. Not my computer, not my OS, so why should I care?
Now it would be news if he jumped to windows just to write open source software because that is kinda defeating the purpose. Or if Microsoft started using the GNU/Linux/OSS exclusively to write Windows and sell it. Then yes I could see why I would want to care. But ffs it is someone's life.
VLC media player too, there are many out there you just have to go and open your eyes..deb is fairly common package format. That along with.rpm and they both are out there many times one right after the other.
I really want to know why anyone cares what anyone else is using for their computers? It does not matter and does not affect me so why should I care. Why should there even be an article on this topic. I change my mind all the time does that mean I should submit articles to slashdot about where I'm going to eat tonight? What video card I'm going to buy? I just think people should get their own lives and learn to think for their self. It makes no difference what anyone else uses for their OS.
No I'm not trying to come off as a troll or start a flame war, just trying to understand why everyone cares about this.
It is not a complete list... I know this because my school is missing and we have had some and people have gotten in trouble by the school. They think it is a no-no...
Here on my campus, in Ohio but not OU or OSU for those who can't read, we have a movie channel. On the movie channel it sounded like a documentary on downloading files illegally so I was interested. It turned out to be a school made video of how illegal downloading can get you kicked out of school... I still have nightmares of the stupidity of the film. They student who got kicked out had his computer basically stolen from him. He was not present when it was taken and someone came and took it while he was out. Very stupid and horrible acting too.
The people I'm afraid of are the ones who think they know what they are doing and end up taking the entire network down... Every place has them. The person thinks he/she is so cool and know what they are doing, I've met them before and they are annoying and you can never even help them learn what they did wrong.
I agree. My brother wants to do this program at our community college in Network Administration. He can put more ram in a computer and thinks he is hot stuff and get WOW running. But when the router goes down I'm the one that gets called and I live an hour away. He likes art and he is thinking of doing the Web design course which I think he should do because he is fairly decent and with some classes he could get pretty good at it. I guess he will learn what it takes to learn about networks and not just the run of the mill router you get for at home.
I wonder how hard it would be to create images of different installs and then just image the computers? Dell has lots of the same hardware so it should be easy. But I've been wrong before.
I would consider that a power trip. There is a speed limit set in place and everyone is to obey that. Now when I go over it I get a ticket. When he goes over it he shows his badge and is let on his way... There is no exceptions either we all get ticketed or no one gets ticketed. Speed limits are there to help protect people who are either in other cars or walking. Some guy going 80 mph down main street is more likely to hit some one else than the guy going 25 mph.
They will probably spin it as "Hey Cuba uses Linux and Free Software. Do you want to be a Communist too?" Reminds me of the picture that says something along the lines of "When you pirate music you help communism." Or something like that.
We had three guys who worked to cover six different buildings. In the high school they had a tech team class where students helped them out. I took that class and they went through lots of problems and we would get calls when someone screwed up the entire network. A few times the librarian plugged a cable from the router back into itself and took down the network during peak time. Fun stuff. They were severely understaffed because they had three guys who knew a lot and then a handful of us who knew a little but still we could not do any work that was deemed "private." We never got to work on the teachers computers because lots of teachers save their passwords on their computers so it was a issue of if we found out the passwords we might mess with the system. My last year they had such problems and then they switched to Apple.
I agree, when ever I want to go print off a paper for a class I have to either wait or leave my building and go to another computer lab and it is just too cold out to do that. I hate it when I go into the small lab they have set up and have all but one person using facebook/myspace. I want to print something off and everyone gets pissed off if you ask if you can log in quickly to print it off. It is not like they are doing anything important. I think that the university computers should be monitored so that when people are on myspace or facebook for more than 10 min they get kicked off the computer. I would love that...
I agree. Anyways since they are at school they should not be looking up stuff for fun anyways. They are there to learn it would be different if say they were blocked from home because of uptight parents but they are at school and should be trying to learn instead. I remember high school it was boring but if it was blocked I just did something else if I did have the free time. Normally though they should be doing school work.
There is nothing good to gain from Myspace or MSN messenger anyways not like they help teach anything.
See I did not know this either. In my english class we just talked about using encyclopedias. She said that we can use encyclopedias and that their info is normally "common knowledge." So we don't have to cite common knowledge so I got confused because any info I get from it I'm supposed to cite, but I don't have to cite common knowledge so why would I have to cite it?
But if a snuff film was to come on then I'm sure parents would not allow that channel to be viewed anymore, thus resulting in the network going "oops" and learning from that mistake. I'm gonna bet that even though the network wants more ratings they are not going to go off the deep end to get it because once they take it too far they will get burned for it.
But if we are renting the license to use whatever we paid money for, movie or music than if we break the medium it came on or how we obtained it in the first place it should be replaced for us for free or for the cost of the medium. However if we bought the medium it came on such as a DVD/CD then we should have the right to do whatever we want. I don't think they can have it both ways. Either we buy the license to use it or we bought the entire thing that is ours, in which case we can do what ever we please with it.
I hardly ever use wikipedia, I am not allowed to use it for any papers I write no matter how accurate the info is. If there is two things different that give my entire paper more of a stand and the rest of it agrees with other sources why can't I use it... I guess I can see BS better than most people.
Would this not be something similar to shouting "Fire!" Not as to create panic, but it is a false claim meant to get a reaction out of people that would not have been there in the first place. I'm thinking the grandparent meant that falsifying info about a product from the manufacturer is misleading which is one of the things that is a no no...
Wow, I was thinking of the same exact thing when I read the parent post. I liked that interview on Colbert report it was quite funny. My room mate thought she was very stupid, as they call Obama "black" while he is decedents of slaves.

Never said I did not have a job... Where did you get this idea from?
Whine some more please, I love it when people whine about having a job.
