The problem with hiding technology is the telephone/radio/programming issue, where more than one person can come to the same conclusion, albeit via different means/functions/devices.
Nope, 'Whatever Happened To Mr. Garibaldi' was my favorite episode of any show; Or when Kosh de-suited to save the dim-wit Sheridan from falling out of the tram and each species/race saw him as their own deity... tasty... Or when Sheridan had learn from Kosh, and went into brown sector and had to pay for his teaching... provocative... Yes, it did get cheezy at times but so does real life, the graphics at the time equalled most movies (of that time), but the experience of the show, 'and the ONE, YOU are not the ONE, Zathras knows the ONE and you are not him'. I still have a clip form "whatever htmg' on my computers, the part where sheridan is under z'ha'dum, between moments: -~-~-~- "There are only two possibilities. If you hit bottom, then you are dead. If you did not hit bottom, you are still falling and all of this is a dream. Unless.. you are in-between." "Between what?" "Between moments." "Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Always running out of time. Yours is almost used up. You're between seconds, lost in the infinite possibilities between tick and tock. Tick, you're alive. Tock.. Well, it was a good life, but a short one. Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick--"
"You're closer now, aren't you. Yes, I see you are. But closer to tick or closer to tock? I don't know. Only time will tell. And here, between the moments, we have all the time in the world."

Damn, just reading the script gives me the feeling I got when I first watched this episode, (and then had to wait for the repeat to record it to vhs), and here on slashdot, we have all the time in the world... sorry Michael...
This kind of thing almost NEVER happens, oh, the PHB's want it too, they want to brag to other PHB's, "we have Vista and Office 2007! whoot!!" What happens usually is they see the tab and they back-step. I don't think Microsoft is looking for a quick pay-off here. They are shooting long term, but that what all this means is hardware and software upgrades; new spyware releases; new trojans and virii. So you consultants out there get on your knees and thank Saint Bill and Saint Steve (the thrower of chairs), for all the duckets you got comin' your way.

Formjet PLC for the software, Formjet owns:
* Panda Software (UK) distributes Panda Software antivirus and security products in the UK.
* Ability Software International distributes a powerful suite of office products.
* FileStream (UK) is involved in applications ranging from the backup of computer resources to highly sophistcated graphics solutions.
* Software Dialog UK is a specialist security reseller to the corporate marketplace.
* South Coast Distribution is an established supplier to the OEM market.
* Ideal Innovations.co.uk is an online marketplace. It services the electronic trading requirements of the Formjet Group and third party vendors.
So I think we can see where this is going, Panda Anti-Virus, and Ability Office 4 branded for Tesco... c'est la vie say the old folks, it just goes to show you never can tell.
ummm running Zenwalk 2.8 (current virgin), on a k62 500 with 192mb ram, run firefox and ooo no problem. Multi-taskin' my ASS off, (gaim, terminal, firefox and tbird, rdesktop and gftp all open at once)....
The server in question seems to be the Teale Data Center which is running FreeBSD and apache. But with the M$ think that is going on over at the statehouse of late,(They have been moving all departments from a fully functioning Groupwise environment to a fully dysfunctional Exchange 2003 environment), it is possible that not understanding where the data was going an eager, inexperienced tech, created a storage folder on a "drive" that had lots of space:) Not realizing that he was publishing to the world, or forgot to set permissions on the new folder:)
Either way, I foresee turn-over in the IT Dept. at the CA Statehouse... no, not the pastry kind either...
that's bullshit; the main distro is like debian stable, everything works together; that is why they are behind the bleeding edge; same with Xandros - the pieces all fit together, security updates yes, but no debian etch. Free/LinSPIRE is further along on many of the packages, kde et. al. than Xandros, but they are still behind. This is part of the reason for opening it and making it free, U/K/X/N-buntu brought us nice looks, up-to-dates packages and the ability to freely choose your wm, this has forced *spire to rethink itself.
They will have apt fully functional also so no need to use the clunky CNR; it is nice for people who are used to the ways of windows but when I want something installed/updated i want it now, not after you've shown me a description and a screenshot and told me all kinds of wonderful things about the program...
*spire was a blacksheep because they made Linux easy for anyone to use and say "I run Linux". But I have turned a number of people onto linux by using *spire & CNR as the intro; my daughter uses Mepis and my buddy uses Kubuntu now. He went from Breezy (that I installed) to Dapper on his own by changing the sources file, and damn near peed himself when it was over.
One of the things i like about linux is you can have your 'hardcore compile every-goddamned-program' guys that compare their kernel sizes, and your grandma who just points - clicks and installs the Quake 2 demo:)
Ahem... you can do the same with Winders and Mack0S... albeit it is not legal to do so, they are still available out there, on the internets... I believe you have to go to one of the dump trucks to get them though...
i'm using a buffalo wli-cb-g54a which is a bcm based with mepis right now... some of the kernels come in without the driver built-in but I told my daughter to just do normal updates no kernel updates unless I tell her and it has worked fine so far.BTW this is on a dell insp. 4000. She gets more out of than with WinXp Sp2 installed.
The difference is mepis is more cutting edge or up-to-date as far as software and desktop go. And while Freespire has said they will be going to APT, right now you are still using their CNR, (which is nice for newbies), they are not there yet. APTy goodness allows you to choose where you get your software, and what level you wish to maintain, stable/testing/unstable(the latest).
no, this distro is and always has been for those people sick of windows and paying way too much for way too little, yet do not have the technical know-how to tweak things. Think of this as a "debian stable" type of desktop. It has an older kde so that it works with ALL the other software. This does put them behind the curve, but the software runs well and for a person (moms, wives, brothers et. al.) who wants an option other than windows or mac, this is a great distro.
Put Mepis on the computer I put mepis on my daughter's computer 2 years ago after she lost most her operating system twice to spyware and virii,she actually likes it, and she will not use MS Office anymore, she saw she could get it in the college bookstore for @ $100 but after using the nicely working OpenOffice.org 2 she said it wasn't worth the price.
No, you are not alone my perverted friend, it is near the end of the day for me, but I thought, damn, that sounds like a gay porn movie... not that i'd know... of course...
