I tell the powers that be that one can get support from various places, for example, Red Hat, CentOS, Mandriva, Novel or Oracle, for what is essentially the exact same system. Low cost or free support is similar to Microsoft support and comes in the form of regular updates and web site self-help troubleshooting forums. If you need phone support or on-site support, then it costs more.
Then I add that since he already hired me with 25 years UNIX experience, the free support is good enough, so we can use CentOS. If I get run over by a bus, then he may have to change to paid support until he hired another old guy.
I never had a problem following the above explanation.
I applaud your superior reading comprehension skills my dear sir. I deduce that you must have been home schooled and your mother a professional teacher.;)
Yup, and note that even the BSDs and Solaris contain Samba, which is GPL3. So one has to carefully review ALL licences of ALL libraries used by a program.
The sad fact is that New Orleans is totally unnecessary. There is a large city on the other side of the lake and there used to be a bridge across to it (probably rebuilt already). New Orleans is simply a ghetto for the poor and should be shut down, not rebuilt - rebuilding it is a waste of time and money.
Christmas 1898, the South African forces fired a Long Tom bomb shell containing a baked pudding into the centre of Mafekeng where a British garrison was besieged. Apparently the Brits enjoyed it.
I can vouch that it is/was a pretty serious kind of flu, since it constricts the upper airways. That is the mechanism by which people die of it - they suffocate. I felt like suffocating a few times.
However, instead of spending tons of money on vaccines, the health organizations could have spent a fraction of the amount on good old anti-histamine (pseudo-ephedrine hydrocloride). With this flu, treating the symptoms is very effective and all i did, was pop a few Benadrils.
Hmm, there are little devices call transzorbs and MOVs. This is why electronics don't get killed by thunderstorms anymore and it also protects against EMP bombs. These bombs do work really well in the movies though...
Hmm, China can bring the US to its knees more easily. All they need to do is sell all their treasury bonds to devalue the Dollar and stop exporting clothes iPods and cell phones to the US...
My guess is that schtuff coming from behind the sun mostly tends to fall either into the sun, or be wildly accelerated away in a hyperbole. So the 'blind spot' is likely a rather 'safe spot'.

"peddle" - no I don't think they need to sell stuff.
Back in my day, real geeks had slide rules in their pockets...
Oracle bought BerkeleyDB and it is still doing fine.
What will happen is that readers will get their news from other sites, e.g. theglobeandmail, cbc, bbc, cnn...
Fortunately I don't watch TV at all, since I read Slashdot all day...
That Americanism says it all...
Uhmmm, the Android phone is manufactured where?
Sooooo, lets all go to the testers blog and DDOS that too. Dumbass...
Punch cards, with a dry ink ribbon, read against the light in 7 bit ASCII...

In general, the GPL version 2 and LGPL version 2 are OK, but beware of having a library in your system that is GPL version 3.
Lawyers want to make money, not save money...

Everybody in China can be on NAT behind the government firewall and content filter.
Och mon, the Ol'gaffer surely is Amerikin...
Not to mention Pause, Break, Scroll Lock and F12. Nothing ever uses F12.

Carry a cell tower... I think I'd rather carry a microwave oven - much more compact and convenient, since it can reheat my lunch too.
That is the question...
