this is my first time hearing of Plone and Zope. After reading the websites of both projects and this review, I don't really understand your comment. From what I am reading, Plone is run ontop of Zope. So, if you didn't like what Plone had to offer, then you basically wrote your own Plone competitor to run ontop of Zope, while your comment leads me to think that Zope is a Plone competitor.
I guess I would call Zope a "window manager" and Plone a "Desktop Environment". Does that sound about right? Or would Zope be more like x.org, in this analogy?
their message is really, "we can't make money off of you if we cannot control the downloads." and this quote from the article is great: "Fripp says the EMI licence was subsequently not renewed because he and the band were not willing to approve download rights, "because the royalty terms offered sucked."" - once again proving that the members of the RIAA are only out to pad their own pockets...if it means toes get stepped on, so what. I wouldn't be surprised if they account for litigation/pay-offs in their budget, and take that in to account when they calculate what their take of each sale should be.
And will be obsolete in a year. Honestly, who spends thousands of dollars every year for the most advanced stuff?
to answer your question, the people at Overclockers Forums, Xtremesystems Forums, and any other person who tweaks their computer for fun. It's a cheaper hobby than boating, for example.
You do know the government is just trying to take care of us, right? Heck, I got the warm fuzzy long ago when Claritin-D, technically an OTC drug would only be sold from behind TC, and then only if you present picture identification, and even then you could only purchase enough to take one a day for ten days! Of course, if it isn't in stock when you want to purchase, you're out of luck... but you're being taken care of. (If you didn't know, the government was/is protecting us from the proliferation of meth labs with this inane process... not that I've noticed much evidence meth labs have disappeared. I have been a lot more congested though.)
omfg, I know. Last year I went in to my local drug store, and the guy at the counter asked me for ID and made me sign a piece of paper. I literally said to him, "Are you fucking kidding me?" Of course he said, "No, it's a new law." and I signed and took my seemingly illegal drugs. The odd thing is that the rest of the summer I never had to show my ID or sign a piece of paper. Fast forward to this year, and that same drug store still had labels for Claritin-D on the shelf, but the spaces were empty. The first few times I went in to the store, I assumed they were just sold out, but eventually I decided to ask some one and I learned they now keep all psuedoephedrine drugs behind the pharmacy counter. And since I still have an old style ID with a magnetic strip, they scan my ID and make me sign electronicaly for my drugs now.
maybe if I was getting rations of marijuana, LSD, or pre-made methamphetamine i'd be willing to put up with this. but all this hassle for a limit of 1 box of pseudoephedrine blows my mind. Similarly, it blew my mind when stores started pulling Vick's Vapor Rub and Vapor Inhalers off the shelves because "ravers" were using it to enhance their high from Ecstasy. It's not as if these "ravers magically thought, "Well crap, i can't use Ecstasy without Vick's..I guess i'll go do my math homework."
Thank you for protecting me, Government. How long before it's only legal for politicians to know how to read or before the government issues robots that force us to stay inside for our own safety?
because I am at work and I am not the IT Admin. My IT Admin actually told me I can't run Firefox because it is LESS secure than IE 6 (the only reason I can think of is that we have a proxy here, and I think Firefox bypasses it)
I've experienced some of these problems also. The hotkeys are the biggest drawback for me too. I bought an old 12" powerbook just so I could experiment with the OS, and after using it for a year I still feel like a beginner. I still have to stop and think for a second before I use a hotkey. I've gotten fairly used to using the option key instead of the ctrl, but there are still a few key combos that I use in windows/linux that I still haven't found a substitute for in os x, mainly changing tabs in a program like firefox (i'll give command ~ a try tonight, that's the first time i've heard of it).
the other huge pet peeve is how closing programs is handled. I've gotten in the habit of always hitting 'command q' to quit all my apps, but my fiance still hasn't learned to fully quit each program when she's done. I can always tell when she's been using the powerbook because there will be a large number of programs till running even though all the windows are closed. It's not her fault, she's closing them out as she has learned to, by clicking the red dot. It should not be mandatory to go in to the menu at the top and clicking "quit" or using a hotkey. I'd really like to see Apple come up with a more streamlined way of closing programs. Maybe something like if you close the last window open, it quits the program.
the other thing that I've noticed with my fiances use of the powerbook is that she often loses minimized windows. They get thrown in to the dock with all of the other icons where it is easily looked over. Now, I did turn off the "magic" window minimizing animation because the powerbook is just a 867mhz and it's slow enough as it is, so it might be more obvious if she could watch the window minimize, but that shouldn't be needed.
i also want to note that she has absolutely no problem when she uses my desktop pc, which runs Linux.
I recently tried to do something similar with Lenovo and a Thinkpad T61. Lenovo told me that if I wanted a refund for Windows then I had to return the entire laptop, and pay a restock fee since the box had been opened. Their reason is that they do not offer refunds for preinstalled software, and of course, Windows was preinstalled. The first person I talked to actually mocked me for even trying, which almost made me return the entire laptop, but I didn't want to pay return shipping an a restock fee. I had the guy transfer me to another department where another person was much more reasonable to talk to and calmly explained their policy regarding preinstalled software.
I told both of the people I talked to that I would have avoided the entire situation if they offered other OS choices. Lenovo apparently does sell a T61p with Linux on it, but you cannot find info for it anywhere. And the only way I could find info on the old T60p with Linux was from a link on an external website.
for those contemplating buying Thinkpads, I did find a Linux Certified list. And I did consider buying one of the Dell's with Ubuntu preinstalled, but I didn't like the hardware options.
regardless of whether it is realisticly possible or not, is anyone else envisioning a MS vs. Slashdot suit of the same nature? Or possibly Apple vs. Slashdot? Think of the thousands (millions?) of posts posted here that MS and Apple would take offense to. I think it would be a great chance for people to prove their claims legally, and it would dispell a lot of rumors.
this isn't really unprecedented. I know of many retail chains that will give "price adjustments" within a certain number of days after a purchase. I think that they mostly limit it to 14 days, maybe 30 days.
I was going to suggest MATLAB, too. I used it in Diff. Eq. in college whenever we needed to get numerical answers. It's too bad I've forgotten nearly everything and I can't offer any help past that.
slack+pkgsrc is actually what made me find, and stick with, gentoo. I started using slackware, but grew tired of creating my own or searching google for slackbuilds. I then found pkgsrc and found a few distros that aimed to be slack+pkgsrc. I even tried to roll my own slack+pkgsrc solution, but I could never get pkgsrc to maintain every package of the system. There was always the core packages then pkgsrc. It's been a while since i looked in to that solution, and maybe I didn't really look deep enough, but I think it would be really great if pkgsrc could be as tight knit with a linux distro as it is with netbsd.
Maryland has similar programs. I'm not sure if they are full or partial scholarships, and I'm not sure if it was Engineering specific, but two of my engineering buddies in school had to get a job in Maryland within one year of graduation or they had to pay the amount back, as if it were a loan. I also had a few friends who were education majors, and they had a similar deal. I think the teacher's deal stated that they not only had to get a job in Maryland within a year of graduation, but they also had to stay employed as a teacher in Maryland for a handful of years. I know the Naval Academy in Annapolis has a similar program, but I'm not sure if you really have a choice about what you do after you graduate.
This is definitely an example of "grasping at straws" and wreaks of desperation. I'm sure there are cases where it is completely legitimate to blame a 3rd party, but I don't think this is one of those instances. If the truth is that some one else installed the software and downloaded the music, then this girl should have nothing to worry about and her defense would stand up on it's own merrits. I definitely do not think that blame should be assigned to the software or the ISP for providing access. If the RIAA wants to continue the trial and you are found to have done nothing wrong, then you sue the RIAA...there is no need to bring 3rd parties into this.
my fiance is a med student and has been saying this to me for years (the negative effects of antibacterial everything in the household). It makes perfect sense if you stop and think about it. As for the dry skin thing, she can attest to that too.
Slashdot Mirror
sure did, and I stopped to read more about how the "Google Phone" was going to cut in to Sybian profits...and if Howard Stern had a new toy.

nobody has thrown out any "wide stance" jokes yet...i'm surprised.

worked for me in firefox 3.0a9pre, but not IE 6
some would argue they did that 3 years ago...there is a link to Office 2008, but who knows when that will actually happen, and Mac has their own competitor, anyway.

the decision to include Compiz by default certainly is Gutsy.

what do you mean, intel's p35 isn't good enough for you?

this is sort of like a hooker giving away her services for free vs. your wife starting to charge you.
i'd be lost without a calculator...a product of our outstanding public school system.
'1/1277 * 100% = .08%' is the actual equation.
i left the % off because you wouldn't type "100 %" into your calculator.
