Why can't anyone see it?!? First he tries to use trademark laws to force people to stop using Linux, then he says we shouldn't have standards, now he won't accept changes the kernel?!? And this is just what has been on/. the last 6 months. No telling what other outrages are going on else where. When will it end? It is time to remove Linus from all open source projects. He needs some time alone in a nice mental hospital.
This republic was founded on "No Taxation Without Representation" You should only pay taxes where you can vote. If NY wants to grant all of these people the right to vote, then maybe we can talk about this.
Are you on crack? Sony has hacked your computer. They've installed software without your knowledge and without any way to detect it. Worse this software will allow anyone who knows about the $sys$ prefix to now install their software without your knowledge.
This is a huge deal. I hope Sony's execs are put in jail for hacking.
The newspapers here (both the $$ daily paper and the three free weekly papers) aren't worth the paper they're printed on. The so-called news is either days and weeks old, completely irrelvant to my life, or both.
I do the newsletter for our local social club. If trends continue within 2 years, my newsletter will have circulation equal to that of the local daily paper. It's called having relevant content. The local paper won't even print notices of our meeting or cover events when we have a major figure speak at our meetings. They deserve to go out of business.
This is true in any industry. For any job you're actually qualified for but don't have the necessary experience, send the resume and cover letter to them. Call them, try and talk to the hiring person. You'll probably get the job, but as less than what they advertised it for. But then you'll have your foot in the door and will have the experience when you apply for another job.
Though this is only possibly with PHP, ideally running on a Debian system, it's the most important language to learn in the universe. For a starter's guide, check out this site.
PHP is nothing but an email harvesting/phishing scam. I was going to convert our website from Windows IIS ASP to Linux/Apache/PHP. I had read all the hype and thought it would be a good move. I subscribed to a list on php.net to help me install. I tried posting a message and was told I had to visit three different websites in order to be able to submit it. I tried contacting the list admin. He seemed helpful at first, but then became belligerent. It was then I realized I was trapped on spam list.
But all was not lost. The PHP spam scum were too stupid to prevent me from emaling their list. A number of months later I managed to get a message posted which detailed my saga with the list. That's when some seemingly nice list person contacted me. They offered to help me get removed from the list. What they suggested, I had done before but nothing happened. Then to my shock and horror, the person wanted my password to my gmail account. This PHP stuff isn't just an email harvesting scam, but a phishing scam too!
So now my address was trapped on the spam list and my new gmail account was full of spam (even with gmails filtering). They've tried to get me to give them my password, but failed. Their phising scam has been revealed. I luckly managed to post a 2nd message to their list about the phising scam. After all of this they finally realized I wouldn't fall for the scam and removed me from their list.
All I can say is that I'm lucky I didn't convert our production server yet, no telling what could be written in the PHP code. It is just amazing this spam harvesting scheme has come this far. Stop the PHP spammers and phishers! Just say no to PHP. Don't even visit a website with PHP in the URL.
Actually slaves are very expensive. While you get their labor 24/7 for free, you've got to house them and feed them. Then you've got to pay for overseers and other security to make sure they don't escape. Why do you think in the antebellum South the only people who had slaves were really rich to start with.
Well, we just had a story on/. the other day where Linus said he didn't like specs which do the same thing as standards. The so-called troll post makes a very good point. Just b/c he's pointing out the hypocrisy of the/. crowd he gets modded as troll. Shameful.
In Virginia, Level 3 destroyed people's property without getting their permission. They keep trying to get the power of eminent domain to get land for free.
Between this and the stupid trademarking of the work Linux, I think Linus has gone off the deep end. Without specs, no one will know what to expect out of the system. If the system does Y, that's all well and good. But If the the specs that say the system should do X then you've got a major problem.
It is time to remvoe Linus from the project. He is seriously starting to hurt the open source community.
"Originally, the site covered Linux distributions only. However, after numerous requests from readers, BSDs and BSD-based projects were added to DistroWatch in May 2004. The reasoning behind this move was simple - Linux and BSDs have much in common - both are free and open source operating systems, and they both use many of the same open source packages available on the Internet. Best of all, the various BSD flavours are widely used and considered by many to be great operating systems."
Please lets not confuse people by using the trademarked word Linux to describe all free and open source OS'es.
Bring and take?
According to Theodore Bernstein, author of Dos, Dont's, & Maybes of the English Language. "Bring and take both involve direction when they denote physical movement: bring means movement in the direction of the speaker or writer, take means movement away from the speaker or writer.... When no physical movement is involved, bring may properly be used in the sense of produce as a result: 'The President's message is expected to bring the whole issue to a climax'" (32). Patricia O'Connor, author of Woe Is I, asks, "Which way is the merchandise moving? Is it coming or going? If it's coming here, someone's bringing it. If it's going there, someone's taking it. ( 'Bring me my slippers,' said Rhoda, 'and take away those stiletto heels!' ) That much is pretty straightforward, but there are gray areas where the bringing and the taking aren't so clear. Say you're a dinner guest and you decide to tote a bottle of wine along with you. Do you bring it or do you take it? The answer depends on your perspective--on which end of the journey you're talking about, the origin or the destination. 'What shall I bring, white or red?' you ask the host. 'Bring red,' he replies. ( Both you and he are speaking of the wine from the point of view of its destination--the host. ) Ten minutes later, you're asking the wine merchant, 'What should I take, a Burgundy or a Bordeaux?' 'Take this one' she says. ( Both you and she are speaking of the wine from the point of view of its origin. ) Clear? If not, pour yourself a glass, take it easy, and say what sounds most natural. You'll probably be right" (93).
If both people are upstairs and one wants the other to get the table downstairs, yeah it probably is take. However in both people's mind, the center of action is probably downsairs at the big party they're having. Thus the table is going to the center of action which is the prespective used.
As someone else pointed out. The distinction isn't big enough of a deal for anyone to get worked up over. It's kinda like the folks who say you shouldn't end a sentence with a prepresition. However no one in their right mind would say "At where is it?" you only will hear "Where is it at?"
Big deal. Get over it. Let the language evolve.
Why does this crap get modded up. Even if we stipulate that all of that is true, it doesn't matter. We all know coffee is hot. You don't put a hot cup of anything between your legs, you put it in the cup holder. (I'm sure at least someone here will say during whatever weird sex they might dream of having they put a hot cup of something between their legs - but we're not talking about your weird sex life)
FunctionalMethod (751923) is correct when they say the OP was 80% is true and no one seems to realise it.
Actually I think it's closer to 99.99% true. If people didn't want MS Windows, they wouldn't spend their money for it and they'd find another OS.
They typical/. lack of understanding of the free market.
If you didn't RTFA or even if you did, you might not have read the comments on slyck.com.
I found this comment very interesting. It is the only evidence I've seen of the other side of the story being posted on slyck.com.

eremini here. I am gonna post exactly what happened, since there's no need to hide it now.
As some of you know cerberius has always been the one that did technicall things on methlabs, set up the servers, updated server software, etc... So it only naturaly the servers were registered to him. Now about a week ago, Furi and Phrosty decided to kick cerb out, right now they are going around forums truying to say that they wanna be professional, but how do profesionals fire peope? They talk to them, explain the reasons, etc. Did they do that? No. Did they try to do that? No. Just one day all of a sudden, they changed the methlabs.org server root password, wiped all the data off it and hijacked a google adsence account, which was registered to cerb's social security number. Now about the domain. Yes, cerb did transfer the domain to him, a couple of months before that (Miles might call this keep all your balls in one sack), but he did not hijack anything, he transfered it with complience to all ICANN rules, which state that the preveious owner gets send an email, to which he gets to reply 60 days (!) if you want to reject the transfer, that didn't happen. So its transfered fair and square. Now about stealing money. What money? The google adsence money (which cerb got back with google being ready to press charges against hijackers for fraud) is still there, no money transfered. Same with paypal, the money, like always, will be used to pay hosting costs and other fees concerning methlabs. There thats the end of the store. Now you decide who to trust, but please don't trust them, just because they put their real names in some attemp to "be profesional"
It sounds like to me that these idiots tried to covertly take over the server, only to find out that the admin caught them and fixed the problem. I hope google goes after them for stealing the adsence account.
WTF are you talking about. The Gimp has layers and CMYK.
To get to the layers, hit Ctrl-L. The layers dialog should appear. You add and delete layers. Have a layer mask and change the way the layers merge with each other.
To get to CMYK, click on either the forground or background color. In the color dialoge that opens you should have four icons. A gimp, printer, circle/triangle, and brush. Click on the printer and you've got your CMYK.
I used Photoshop for two years before I tried the Gimp and I've never looked back. I switched back in the day of 1.3 It has only improved since.
I'd love to see "Bob's whining about life" containing 3,625 pages of rambling to be excluded from the index,
Of course the one page where Bob babbles on about all of the problems he had getting PHP and Oracle to play nicely and the obscure problem he had just happens to be the exact same problem you're having, you will wish his blog had been included in the index.
As long as only relevant results are returned, it won't matter if the blogs are indexed or not.
If you like Linux and want it to succeed, that's awesome. Me too. But stop kidding yourself, you look like idiots. Don't pat yourself on the back every time Microsoft screws up, because it's going to take a GIGANTIC screw-up to ever put Linux anywhere near being a popular desk-top OS.
You also forgot not only must MS make a GIGANTIC mistake, Linux must not make any. Linux has lost any chance it had with all of this trademark nonsense. Its a terrible shame that even this post isn't legal b/c I used the word Linux and didn't pay for it.

This is true in any industry. For any job you're actually qualified for but don't have the necessary experience, send the resume and cover letter to them.

No wonder we will never see Perl6. Maybe this hunta will get it produced, but I really think we should have left Larry Wall in charge of Perl.

Don't they know they need backups?!?
Wallace must have been in charge of that.

Just to point out that OpenBSD != Linux. Distrowatch only recently started tracking BSD and their FAQ explains

It is clearly time that someone else takes over Perl.

Finally someone sees the tuth. Linus is just spaming companies, hoping they'll fall for this scam.
It is time we dump the "Linux" name and just got it somethign like "The *nix OS" or something.
