No im not arguing for everything to be the same, but some back end consistency out of the box would be very nice. While with a bit a jiggery and pokery I can get a workstation up and running and doing all those naughty things like listening to mp3 files after an hour after setup.
OK now - moving from one distro to another is a right pain - depending on who you believe and while i dont mind redoing config files and shifting data, quite why basic things change and what works in the old dont in the new makes things 'fun'
Case in point reiser fs now is 'not good', some distros out there today prefer to format with ext3. I had backups but since the new linux didnt do a few things that the old one did guess which one im using now.
Think i asked somebody like that for a key/files to access some linix project sometime ago, they never responded. Thus i found a better way of doing it outside of cad.
Interoperability of cad systems was awfull. I'd rather not have to start games of 'will it/wont it open' in other cad system.
I missed all of those.
at least we all know what ron (novell boss)has been doing all day recently

googlers are more brighter than yahoo'ers (horses in that Jonathan Swift Book). Yahoo is becoming an advertising platform and gradullay technically retarded since when did a 'new' mac os, or windows xp be the only platforms that you can run yahoo's new webmail on.
If i cant find an answer - I be a: asking the wrong question, or b: pushing the envelope. and I would rather find it myself rather than pay some smug person tell me that.
if reinstalling wndows is tampering, than god help the riaa if they got a virus/trojan infected pc from him (un-usuable), if person did reinstall windows then the fault is with microsoft for not saving the evidence why dont they sue microsoft ? it seems that either way the riaa look at things the evidence would be 'tampered' with.
for the record: I can nuke a windows xp partition in seconds, i didnt mean to but i just did that several months ago alas thats windows xp for you to get it back i'd need a shareware like recovery disk which i dont 'own', or even have downloaded. So i'd have to reinstall windows, and windows install loves to format things if memory serves me.
OK I dont mind gnome, but as a non 'enterprise' user of Suse (before Novell bought it) Ive already got the torrents of fedora 6 and we have been taking a look and I like it
configuration wise there a new files ive got move about. I'd have to say that damage has been done to Novell
Novell bought suse gmbh a german firm, and pissed off a number of european users, example Munich council is not using suse now for there linux roll out.
Novell have been rather dumb in the dealing with Microsoft department, now and in the netware days, but history as say repeats itself.
With the Suse founders gone from Novell's board as well Suse died a long time ago, many of its current 'fans' have yet recognise that.
First off i like Suse over Debian as cd wise there are less patch bandwidth issues (over quota come back next month) that you get with apt-get, otherwise you have compile it from scratch.
The way we use suse means theres still plenty of config file editing in vi. So don't just think gui config tools
Yes I agree novell will 'die in 5 years' becuase of ms deal. - I guess Umbunto will be the new linux desktop os, but for the servers ? fedora ? / fds ?, Were not willing to go 'enterprise' linux.
Some firms have 'no email' days. The odd management reasoning being that people have to walk corridors and interrupt/etc instead.
Now suppose you send email on 'no email day' ? should you be pink slipped ?, and since you might be pink slipped for logging into your computer (for failing to work)
Dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.
netcraft was rather retarded doing 'www' hunting as none of ours where included when iis jumped over apaches server mind share (slashdot article of old ps 'thanks' godaddy).
If netcraft have improved (iis v apache outstanding) its nice to know there trying to do it properly, raher than just using godaddy domain names as the survey data model.
btw: i migrated a site from 'bad' html to xhtml so its doing it rather than just talking about it. If your flash fanboy/ or ie fan then please get well soon
1. XHTML seems to reduce developer chioce rather than 'extend' it 2. disabled wise forget about xhtml. 3. 'new' ie hopefully wont crash with xhtml 4. ? still css issues with ie
I will deepen these points below.
The bbc article (quoted in comments) is rather dubious as xhtml reduces attributes like say description, it would appear the xhtml and section 508 is an 'either or' construct hence why people use 4.01 rather than validated xhtml.
As to 'flash' (see bbc) being the answer blurgh
Problem one: is not not insurmountable, you essentially throw away any old html code, and rethink and then recode the xhtml way since old html is 'bad/evil/something else'.
Problem two: Read the bsi document pas 78, a uk version of 508 - its damn funny these guys could not manage a party in brewery
Problem 3: while new ie might not crash when presented with a page of xhtml, its older sibings dont like it. I suggest the w3c and microsoft part company on any issue.
Meebo (im gateway, one of many im gateways of recent) where using html 4.01 and not xhtml standard - if the minds of meebo (a startup) find xhtml a waste of time?
What does that say about ie and microsoft's involvement in the w3c.

Its not the cost, but if you have a multiplex cinema with 6 screens all showing one film (his) then the moral of the story is don't bother with the cinema if your not Mr Lucas.
I've seen about three films this year at the cinema. If Lucas thinks that the cinema distribution network is 'fracked' (battlestar term) then he started that movement.
While Lucas is a performer for the box office, stars like him who produce junk and reduce choice (i can only see s.w....) only make the cinema a harder market to succeed in.
Did it do better than sw 3, no = waste of time to the cinema owner. Lucas is thus a victim of his own success. Perhaps it explains why ive not patronised the cinema lately.
Thats the problem, and while some of you will buy star wars on pink ray, deep purple, and usb key what about the the normal cinema film that fails to get shwn because crappy blockbuster must makes it cash back.

If i was american i'd not vote for him, but im sure quite a few americians would vote for catbert.
