Yeah, I mean, just look at virtual desktops! OS X and Windows had those years before Lin... Oh, right, it was actually the other way around. And Windows still haven't got it.
We just started selling the phones here in Norway, I work for an Apple Premium Reseller, and all the phones _has_ to be sold with plan from Netcom. HOWEVER: After you have bought the phone, you may pay a fee and then terminate your subscription with said company, and your phone is then free from all simlocks, you can use any sim you want, and software updates does not brick your phone, since you're not using a hacked firmware. AFAIK atleast. Is this not possible in the US? Or does it only apply to the 3G version? I'd greatly appreciate it if someone would explain this to me.
You can use the rescue disk for this purpose. Just boot with "linux askmethod" and you can install from http/ftp/nfs.
"linux text askmethod" gives you a text based installer.
"Decades" of.NET? According to wikipedia version 1.0 was released 2002..
C++ isn't that hard to port, but for smaller buisnesses I can imagine old cruft with visual basic and access might be painful move over to GNU/Linux.
Sorry for replying so late.:)
Our sort of inventory is actually computers and accessories, or more precisely: Apple Computers(Yeah, citrx+win2k3 in a mac shop, looks great =_=)
Problem being, as far as I can tell, that sometimes items does not get taken out of inventory completely the times where we want to send an invoice(not a cash sale). And of course, when we count inventory stock. I forgot to mention earlier thoug, that quite often my sale will be deadlocked because another user is changing something. That might be more of an MSSQL-situation though.
Navision is, as far as I`ve understood it, made up of modules, maybe our module is just crappy. We use a citrix solution combined with Windows 2003 server and Navision for logging onto a machine remotely and doing sales that way(Yes, on our registers). Now, this is why I _DREAD_ working with it: It is slow, MS-SQL throws weird, random and LONG error messages. It will lock up my sale for no good fucking reason. Inventory is NEVER right, and creating offers for customers is so incredibly crummy to work with, that I would rather just do it by fucking hand.
No, it doesn't have more functionality that Vista Ultimate. Hell, it doesn't even have more functionality than "Home Premium" (no Media Centre equivalent, for example).
Fine, you make home premium log on to a domain then.
So if you can't see it, it does not exist? For instance, a GNU/Linux based computer with Ubuntu would have no extra cost for the operating system, whereas a machine with Windows would indeed have an added cost of Windows. What was your point again?
What if a "fireman" suddenly was someone that started fires, in stead of putting them out? The fact that the press and other idiots uses the wrong term to describe a criminal, does not make it right.
Well, me being able to have to thoughts at once, I am actually capable of separating between sharing code and sharing ideas. To me UNIX is an idea, and not a specific implementation, and such it feels like nonsense to argue that Linux is not based on UNIX ideas, I just say UNIX in my everyday speech. Just as I usually only say "Linux" and not GNU/Linux.
So, being based on UNIX ideas, wouldn't that constitute as being based on UNIX? In fact, several certified unices doesn't share any original AT&T code at all. And FreeBSD, which is based on one of the original unices, is NOT certified UNIX. I don't think having the same code as original UNIX should be a criteria for being UNIX-based.
3. Its user interface is inconsistent. (OK, KDE and Gnome are pretty bad this way, too, but OS-X isn't, for instance.)
Since when was OSX' interface anywhere near consistent? I use both Linux and OSX on a daily basis and this whole "conisistant user interface" crap needs to end. First of all, there is a crapload of programs with different user interfaces. Secondly, different programs needs different interfaces.
Moving drivers to userspace does not a microkernel make. Or are you suggesting Linux is a microkernel? And even though Cutlers first goal was to make a microkernel, too much resides in kernel space, and ntoskrnl.exe links the kernel and the executive together anyway.
Yeah, I've tried both. OpenSUSE refused to add update servers, refused to work with my wireless card, and would randomly crash firefox. Whereas both the Fedora 8 Test 3 and Gutsy beta would actually be quite stable compared to the released version of OpenSUSE 10.3.
I say, might it be possible to equip all americans with firearms, and let you guys sort your own mess out over there? We could use some space. A nation with armed dumbasses.

It's just copypasted off technocrat.net though, so it's not twitter that has written it. AFAIK.

How can you be addicted to Linux and hate Unix? Those are basically the same thing.
Didn't seem so bad until you got to the last part there.

Could you please back up your claims of Red Hat trying to stop CentOS with some facts? And in related news, Red Hat is opening Red Hat Network. :)

Or, if you're comfortable i Red Hat-land, CentOS.

Man, your entire post sound like you're stuck back in '95 or something.

We use navision on our cash registers where I work, it's a horrible piece of crud.

Leave it to the americans to call a sport where you mostly use your hands "football".
Uhm, if it reverts to a BSD-style license, doesn't that mean we can, you know, change the license?

He's not talking about which DE which is used the most, but in terms of usability and features. That's atleast how I read his comment.
