Interesting thing that. The more mainstream a distro becomes the more the fanbois (me included heh) tend to fault it. I think we linux geeks tend to find some pride in using something that is less mainstream and a bit harder to get just right.
Right now I am an Ubuntu user though, having used various including gentoo at different times.
Yeah I really noticed this when following Twitter Trends for #lucid early this morning. There were several blogs on the web who purported to have reviews of the final release even before you could update your RC to the Final release. At least one I took the trouble of checking out sported Beta 1 screenshots with the old window button layout that was finalized with B2.
Well if you take into account that part of winning a war is limiting your adversaries access to resources this makes perfect sense. If you go to war with the US you are pretty sure that they will try and dominate the skies, and with their numerical advantage in most conflicts this will soon be the case.
Now you are limited to shipping, and if you can arm your merchants you have a way of potentially protecting your lifelines. In WWII this was what kept Britain alive, being able to protect their merchants against attacks by Germany.
Is that your computer or router's public addy? Because if your router still has an IPv4 connection to the web (for lack of a better term, sorry) then in essence you are not done converting to IPv6.
If your whole LAN is IPv6, but your internet connection is still IPv4 you are not done yet. If you have made the change on both ends then bravah.
A good read. Seems that although there is limited IPv6 support on Win95/98, but it is better to just dump the OS when the time comes. It seems that fun times are to be had in the new feature for sysadmins and techs everywhere...
Yeah strange you should mention pay since in my case it's not that good either. Great environment to work in though - one day the boss arrived with fifty of those huge balls chicks exercise with and plonked them down in the office.
We often sit on them for meetings or to work at our desks, or kick them around.
Great place to work, lower than average pay. I wonder if it is a trend in it?
*groan* I feel you. I am a sysadmin too and one of our marketing companies doing SEO decided to redo our largest clients websites.
Currently the clients sites are living on the win 2k3 server I administer (the only windows production server we still run) and they wanted to know if they did the sites in in PHP or Drupal on one of our existing Linux servers if they could still connect to the mssql backend on the windows server.
So the boss calls me into the meeting and they asked me this, I said hell no since I had no desire to try and get these two technologies to live together in a production environment, especially since migrating everything to mysql would allow us to do database replication to another server and I could do software raid over ethernet on yet another (this client is anal about backups and recovery.)
Luckily my boss is the type who listens to his sysadmins and the marketing division ended up buying a new 1U server for the sites and databases to live on.
Well personally I have found Opera Mini to be rather good on a wide selection of cellphones I have tried it on. Maybe it just needs some time to mature?
AND, to continue singing the praises of ClearOS as the perfect solution to the server/gateway side of OP's requirement, it includes among other thigs:
- an email gateway/server - proxy server with content filtering - protocol filtering (mommy/daddy can limit those pesky torrents or set up time based filters to gaming servers) He could even give some protocols bandwidth priority at certain times of day - more gaming over weekends, more http at other times. - shared folders for users
Heck there are tons of features, some not really needed but others perfect.
and lots more. ClearOS would be the best to use, also there is an active forum where OP can ask for assistance, and $singleparent can sign on for help.
Heck OP can log into the server remotely and assist with any issues requests that might show up.
Not really... Basic Desktop support, and a more sophisticated gateway. Something like m0n0wall http://m0n0.ch/wall/ has very good access control with a voucher system, you user based control built in. It also has a very good traffic shaper so one kid downloading won't cause a fight with the other kid gaming. However, no web filtering.
Untangle http://www.untangle.com/ has some very good filtering on content and viruses, as well as some ads. The captive portal is not as strong, but getting there. No real traffic shaping last time I checked.
Both are open source projects. Monowall will run on any old P3 with 128 meg of ram. Untangle will need a bit more power behind it.
Good options. He could also try ClearOS. After it is set up it should be rather low maintenance. The download link is on the page. I have one at home and it is a win.
WHAT?! They take 70% of the revenue for YOUR work!?
HFS that is awful dude.
I wonder if sites similar to getjar.com will become popular and host android apps. And also I wonder if google will allow installing apps from non google/carrier managed app stores, unlike apple who only allow installing from apple app stores.
Who cares, it's not like he is really THAT good... and no I am not afraid of saying that, he cannot be everywhere at once. Hullo... there is a knock at my door...
I wonder if there is a first post achievement? I recall getting some first posts on stories a few times, and like you I never "frist prost" ed, but a first post achievement would be pretty darn cool.
Slashdot Mirror
If you install Win7 along with Vista you will be able to select either on boot as well.

I thought that google had ways of detecting these and down-ranking them?

Googling for something on the impact shifting to IPv6 got me to this pre 2006 article: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/IPv6-Support-Microsoft-Windows.html

Remember. He who play in root, eventually kills tree.
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake!
THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!
heck people have been imprisoned in China for less than what we do on /. every day.
Well personally I have found Opera Mini to be rather good on a wide selection of cellphones I have tried it on. Maybe it just needs some time to mature?
Ah, thanks for clearing that up.
This is slashdot. Double standards are the standard. You must be an ms fanboi for pointing that out.
I thought Australia had a pirate party already? OP says Canada is the first outside Europe?
Except that the OS was not compromised, but an application running on top of it.

Yes BUT - carriers would then start hosting more apps to prevent people from switching over to other carriers. That could be good for the customer...

I see your mafia wars straw man, and raise you with: that cutting machine would be worthless without the software running it.

Thanks for posting that link, that was the single most insightful ANYTHING I have read on programming this whole year.
Great read.
