Its all in frankfort, I work in louisville (jefferson) and its the same thing. If I want to run linux, it has to be microsoft linux. All other linux's are unsecure and may break the network that never seems to run cause of the state nt4, microsoft proxy 2 servers..rebooting all the time.
I work for the Jefferson County Public School system in Louisville Kentucky, 26th largest in the US. We have 3 bess systems, and there is ways to allow administrators to put in "white sites" that will stop filter blocks.
We have kinda grown disgruntle with bess, poor performace even with 3 dns round robin systems, it still takes sometimes upto 5 seconds for it to tell me playboy.com is banned. Now it uses squid proxy with some custom hacks, which I guess they would have to release being under GPL, but it seems they have done nothing but a basic config of squid. No intercache communications or speed hacks. Among other things they wont update there squid so Outlook Webmail on Exchange server useing dasv doesnt work, due to a new http method of search. Yet it only requires two files to edit in the source, and one line added to each. We are possibilly forced to end our marrige with bess, as they are killing a half million project for student email for over 100,000 students. We maybe forced to move our cache cluster infront of the bess proxy's with the correct and patched squid, something I do not look foward to.
There are plenty of irc servers on opn. irc.kde.org is one of them. irc.linux.com is another one. Many listed above. Visit #kde and #slashdot. The opn version of #slashdot is better then the slashnet version!
Thats cool, just think.... SMS to car, Driver watch out deer in road! Just as the driver looks down to read the sms message....BAM! Opps did I do that?
I must say, I give my props to the slashdot folk and andover. Most people and companys would of backed down, crapped there pants, and removed it. Instead slashdot and andover are standing up for what is right. At the same time, andover and slashdot are also proveing to the world that microsoft is still screwing people even admist the DOJ stuff that happing at this moment. Microsoft doesnt care about the source, they care about looking all mighty and hurting open source anything. Andover, and Slashdot, keep up the good work, and hold your head's high, because you may not win the battle, but you already won the war.
I wish they were more open with there hardware. Im mean in comparion with x86 PPC is really good, and is abit more used then alpha as far as, lower arena area. If only apple opened it up. What do they have to loose, nothing, because with a good Unix orentied OS like OSX, they will get prolly a good amount of developers and easly ported software, so the operating system is really golden.
To me, this is what Unix should of been like in 1995. This is probley one of the best examples of a Unix desktop, fast, easy, and much powerful. Easly scaleable with unix, so you can have multi cpu's. And apple for the most part is good hardware. So if apple was to open up there hardware, and more companies started makeing "apple clones" for cheaper, what os are they gonna run, linux and prolly OSX. Well given the was OSX is, it may be just as easy to run OSX on top, and have a vm or something to run linux under it. This makes a good desktop unixen box, and some good PPC based linux servers is the best way to go.
PDA with a wireless modem that can talk. And I will try to be one of those h8x0r d00z and dial up 555-wopr with my PDA, in the park, away from FBI, and have it tell me... Shall we play a game? No longer am I bound by haveing to punch in the cordnates of Redmond or any other evil places, I just yell...Nuke the heck out of billy boy...
Hmm...
Or better yet... Now with my PDA I can be like James Bond, and tell my PDA and my new car with three legged robot where to go while shooting my nerf gun at evil borg's in my back seat...and then I can get apache for PDA and stream it over the internet..
Thats strange, I have several 10/100 8 and 16 port hubs in use and some older 10 only hubs, never had a problem. Only problem I ever saw with a bay hub is that an evil mac had fount a way to put lots of volts on the wire. The hub didnt like that. It died a horable death and so did 16 nics.
Now, if Netgear would do the same that would be nice. I love netgear FA103X? (PCI 10/100 Tulip) cards. Blaze under Linux/BSD. Im a die hard Netgear/Nortel fan. These little bundles here and there really add up. I do a little computer building for friends and such, and I always include a mandrake or redhat or something that I burn.
Anybody have any good comments on the Netgear 10/100 PCI card?
is that big cluster of sun boxen. Now that is some serious admining and "play?". Just think of clustering them all together and playing a mean game of Quake. Enough proccessing power to run the super bot that is smart enough not to get detected. Im dreaming.
to any semi human people out there, do you think that all of this domain name stuff is getting out of control? Is it me or does it just seem that there is too much $$$ involved with anything from.com to etoy vs etoys, and ofcourse hitting the purchase button and it's in the mail is now a forbidin to use. I dream of the days of gopher and usenet.
Make your judgements to who I sent it to, Me I just sent it to the top role of people, those are the admin staff.
Also, Accounts like y2k are redirects to important people, and email floats around the office. Now maybe you delete email but you seem to be smarter that the average yoggie or you wouldn't be on slapdash.
Ok, say Im FTP admin dude, and I get this email about how it would be cool to GPL our database...I say wtf, this isn't FTP admin stuff, but It does look important, umm I will fowared it to ftpadminsboss@site.com.
So now boss has it, says hmm, sends it across hall to IT management. Do this about 3-5 time per email and there will be some poo on the walls.
1. Release Star Office in a gpl like license. (It will never be true GPL, to much politics) The license should allow it to be ported freely to any platform, and allow code be used for other projects, but at the same time, allowing SUN to have control of there "offical" source, to make releases and to provide "supported versions". It's already free for anybody to use, so code sharing and code ports aren't that bad, just not supported by SUN. (Big woop).
2. Staroffice (as posted by another person) should have the fat trimmed. Makeing several indepent apps vs one whole big thing. Make it more like MS office, which allows you to run winword, or excel vs Office, in general. (But you could if you wanted to, run the Staroffice Shell, which I have fount great for X Workstations connected to the main server.)
4. If StarOffice was more free to do things with the source (less restrictive) then some good hacks would work on it, port it, tweak it, make it faster, and possibly make it a very good product. (Ties in with 1)
Strange, I do the same thing, only with aircraft, I have a nice collection of B52's in my basement, now just to get some B61's to stick in the B52's, then fly to redman washington and drop......
