I am also a member of OCLUG, Orange County Linux Users Group that is.
The nice thing about living this area is that there are ~7 LUGs to choose from within a 100 mile radius of my house. Each group has their own atmosphere, and there are several big names that visit once in a while.
*cough* What transaction isolation level? MySQL hasn't had transactions for YEARS. Once it finally got them, it turned out they were being faked anyway. A real database works correctly BECAUSE it has proper transaction isolation.
Have a link? I've been watching from the sidelines for a while now, but haven't seen the details. Since I'm starting to do some LAMP programming recently, this info is much more interesting.
The places you need to worry about metadata exposure are the document-aware "export" functionality, because rather than simply printing from primitives, these work with full knowledge of the document and it's structure.
I don't know about anybody else, but we not only don't evaluate software years before it's released, but we generally wait until the software has been out for at least a year before even looking at it.
But it's also amazingly annoying when you stop doing conventional desktop activities and start doing more unix like things. Tage for example untarring a 30 GB archive with twenty thousand small files in it or something that is generating transisent files in a rapid fire fashion. Well you start untarring and for the first few files it zips along. then suddenly throughput nose dives. Why? you look at your processes and you see MDL the indexing programming is chewing up your disk access.
Oww, ouch! That's just painful.
Why isn't this indexing soon enough to hit disk cache instead of rereading the data from disk?
Where does this energy come from? From the motion of cars. What makes cars move? Internal combustion engines. Therefore, every scrap of energy in these plates was generated first by an internal combustion engine, and passed through devices that have an efficiency of less than unity.
And all of that energy is lost if there isn't anything to capture some of it!
Lee went to Microsoft where Balmer cut off all his hair and killed him, leaving his corpse lying on a big rock in the Redmond campus. The rock later split with a deafening kaboom, and Lee reappeared, unharmed, at Google.

I thought the GPL was a legalistic hack to protect the ethical right to share information. If the government goes and legalises that, then the GPL becomes almost, but not quite, entirely redundant.
If copyright is not equally enforced, and the new "anyone can copy" copyright is used against a GPL Free Software project, then it effectively becomes public domain, and a company could take the source code, make changes and not release the changes to the recipients of the binaries.
The GPL is not about absolute freedom. It is about keeping source code open and free, as in freedom. That restricts people from making it closed and proprietary.
Now, come on. Your story was plausible up to then, but you blew it. 20 minutes isn't even enough to open OpenOffice, never mind download and install it...
Hmm, my torrent download of 2.0.1 finished in less than 10 minutes. Are you saying that OOo takes 10 minutes to install?
I'm not comparing it to nuclear, I'm comparing it to internal combustion gas engines, which aren't too terribly efficient to start with. And then you're adding another system on top of that.
The story is about "Ramp Creates Power As Cars Pass". How do the efficiencies of internal combustion gas engines that will be running whether the plates are in the road or not negate the usefulness of this power source?
so far Red Hat has the market since it was the first on the scene as a legit business. It is attacking the right industries (Financials and Gov't-i.e. DoD)
Yes, please.
I have been doing some work for a few mortgage companies recently and their reliance on IE and the windows platform is *very* ingrained.
We need an OSS competitor to Point and get the.asp extension off of the servers in this industry ASAP. Choosing the right CRM project to base this on would be a good start.
Phone systems and Auto-Dialers are big in this industry also. I have been submitting patches to Vicidial which is part of Astguiclient which works with Asterisk.
There is a lot of money to be made in the IT side of this industry, let's get OSS into it next.
Anyone interested, please contact me. I'm not in a position to employ anyone, but am interested in collaboration.
And even more... SuSe born in germany, and it has a huge user base at europe, Redhat has born at U.S.A. and there is a LOT of countries, that doesnt want to be working with U.S.A. enforsable companies... so there is the reason why, at Linux there will be very, very, very hard to have a "single vender Enterprise distribution"...
While your statements are true as to the origins of the companies, they are now both owned by companies based in the USA.
Red Hat has offices in Europe just like Suse/Novell. I think your argument will shut them both out if it is a significant factor. There is a highly publicized transition to Linux in a large German city that switched from SuSe once Novell bought them.
There is no such thing as free energy. It doesn't exist.
The power that runs these systems is generated by the combustion of gasoline in the cars, and passes through the transmission and the differential and the axles and the tires and this generator contraption. Doesn't sound like terribly efficient power generation to me.
But it is there. Why let it go into entropy when cars are already moving on the streets and freeways anyway?
Now if the time to ROI doesn't add up, then I can see the argument there, but discounting the concept just because it isn't as efficient as nuclear doesn't make it invalid.
Or the energy conversion costs since you're burining fuel to power them instead of whatever the grid sources from.
That's like saying "there's no point in capturing the braking energy in a hybrid car". The point is to capture energy that is there, and most likely will not go away any time soon.
Like most technologies, the costs can be brought down as it matures. Why shouldn't we reclaim some of the energy already being expended by cars?

And just what are you running instead of Linux then?
Hopefully teaching them a thing or two in FreeDOS or something instead of windows.

So is the word 'ho'.
And I'm not talking about what the fat white guy in the red suit says either.
Man, I never thought he'd look like that in a bikini...
That is the problem. Strict mode offers no protection for the data if the client can disable it.
I guess that implies that there is not a mode that disables that ability in the client... Is that right?
*cough* What transaction isolation level? MySQL hasn't had transactions for YEARS. Once it finally got them, it turned out they were being faked anyway. A real database works correctly BECAUSE it has proper transaction isolation.

Thanks.
Isn't there an option to disable changing strict mode from the client?
If there isn't, then I agree with you completely.
The places you need to worry about metadata exposure are the document-aware "export" functionality, because rather than simply printing from primitives, these work with full knowledge of the document and it's structure.
Hmm, I wonder how OpenOffice.org handles this...
I don't know about anybody else, but we not only don't evaluate software years before it's released, but we generally wait until the software has been out for at least a year before even looking at it.
I see that you run Debian then.

If I was eating or drinking anything it would be sprayed on everything in front of me also.
You're funny man!

It's faster for you to write programs, and requires less of a learning curve.
Uhh, we're talking about computer memory, not developer memory.
Next!
What ever happened to good ole rubber band shooting?

I really hate those things. The big cluster of dots always looks out of focus to me, and I find myself blinking more to try and refocus them.
If your eyes are like mine, you see them as one green blur and don't worry about it.
