No, just commenting on the never ending, "it should come this way out of the box", statements.
IMO things began to go down hill when 'they' started trying to make unix friendly. It's a tool and you don't put doilies on a tool.
Making the various distros suit the majority of whiners is as much wasted effort as trying to shoot a duck on the midway using a rubber barreled 'rifle'.
These arts are sold by the manufacturer at all QC levels. Some companies run their own QC and then label the parts.
It seems that the author of the referenced article is up in arms because some companies are buying parts meeting one spec and labeling them, sometimes with a third companies name, and reselling them with a BOGUS spec.
This is not the manufacturers problem!
The only people who get hurt by this are the folks who buy from the lowest priced vendor/broker/dealer, without any consideration as to where the parts came from. These folks don't even care if the parts are stolen.
As for running QC on assemblies and reworking parts, statistical QC has been around since the wheel. It's a valid approach to manufacturing. Historically those manufacturers who have handed this QC ff to the end user, without revealing the fact, have failed in business.
If you've been buying hard disk drives over the past 20 years, you know that there are always vendors who sell, "OEM" parts that do not have a manufacturers warranty. Those who use the enduser as their only QC either make it clear, keep changing names, or go out of business. Blaming ones decision to do business with these folks on the manufacturers is BULLSIT. It's a clqassic case of trying to get something for nothing by playing victim.
Dell is not on the 'bleeding edge' of the business
on
Dell Still Intel Only

· Score: 1
It makes no sense for a company that specializes in squeezing every last dime out of commodity products to compete on the edge.
That's all there is to it.
When was the last time Dell offered: An ultralight notebook. A competitive graphics workstation. An high density blade server. A multiprocessor TP tuned box. anywhere near contemporary to the competition in these areas.
Dell is solid, reliable, stodgy, dull, and value for $. Just what the commodity market wants in X-86 hardware.
So/. editors, how about a new DELL category so those who don't give a rats ass about this sort of stuff can uncheck the box.
Token Ring
From the wikipedia reference 'info'.
"...token ring...An important aspect of the IEEE 802.16 is that it defines a MAC layer that supports multiple physical layer (PHY) specifications."
So these things will act as nodes on a token ring network? The referenced article is a bit confusing as it suggests that current WiFi, "...uses the same link layer controller...", will also work with token ring.
Or is this a 'slices, dices, cleans foreskin,..." bit of marketing hype?
Me too. But as an investment, the NASA helios is a proven platform that just needs a bit of refinement.
Maybe a Helios inspired GPL project? I'd be willing to run if there is sufficient interest.
In the sense under discussion, it's the code that makes the output that the particular(specific to that font) collection of aspect and attribute accrue. It's not said output.
The GPL distinction between a program and it's output is a dead horse on/.
Absurdiums:
1) A license copy with each letter?
2) Some extortionist might cut an 'i' from a document rendered from GPL fonts and use it in his letter of merit. The letter is now incorporated by 'scribes' FUD interpretation of the GPL making it part of the public domain. Damn, now the public is party to extortion and we're all going to jail.

UNIX, rm * GONE!
...
distros, rm rebigulattor.shit-on-your-shoe ARE YOU SURE?
UNIX, install, patch, set up according needs, tweak kernel,
distros, "Why can't it come out of the box with a hard on"
the correct answer is that my clock is WAY the hell off...

More like DOCSIS 2 and Token Ring.

Can anyone parse,
"...utilizing proprietary lifting gas technology",
in a way that makes sense?
