I'm assuming you're referring to ports because of the title. I was actually on the verge of giving up on BSD's for the same reason until I found out that there is a binary package system, too. I setup a LAMP (well, BAMP I guess) in a matter of a few minutes on FreeBSD with minimal trouble after I learned about packages.
Wouldn't you just need to recompile the userland? I use some GNU software on my OpenBSD and FreeBSD installs and they seem to work just dandy without any bother on my part.
If you have to (which I don't recommend) then pick up a midrange quad core server with a ton of RAM and plenty of room for extra drives. Put a Linux distro on it: no hope of keeping up with Windows security for 15 years, and forget Mac, they're very prone to changing interfaces internally, and then discontinuing the old products.
Then use the server to push whatever app you need to some low duty desktops. You could use a web app, or a client/server desktop app. Again, you're probably good with a *nix.
I think that's overkill for one veterinarian.
I suggest going virtual on commodity hardware that changes out every half-decade or so. I suspect that as long as your virtual machine itself doesn't change the cost of buying hardware with the chops to run it will only decline over the years.
There's no hole at all. "I participated in an experiment for Roskosmos" is a perfectly reasonable explanation, assuming that they lost their jobs to participate. (I haven't read the article so IDK)
I think the point being that Apple charges a steep premium for their RAM. I grabbed a RAM upgrade to 2 gigs for my Macbook just a couple months ago and by specifically avoiding Apple-branded RAM and by just getting some Crucial RAM I only spent about $25 + sales tax/shipping (amounted to about $30 in total). Going to the Apple website they wanted $100 for the same upgrade. ( http://store.apple.com/us/memorymodel/ME_13_2_1_MB ) That's pretty damn steep. For $100 2 gigs of RAM had better be damn good RAM.
Because the professor is allowed to specify how they want it handed in and they usually want a hard-copy so they don't have to spend a bunch of money just to read their students' work. Say it costs 10cents/page to print and you hand in a seven-page essay. That's 70 cents to you to print it. To your professor who has 100 seven-page essays to print out the costs are significantly higher.
The parent was talking about online voting, a specific kind of electronic voting done over the Internet, ie, remotely, ie, you can't control who sees the ballot before it's cast. I don't think they were talking about electronic votes in general.
Good point. I'm actually not about to go criticizing Indians for buying a cheap and efficient car because I've been to India and I've seen some of the vehicles on the road there. If it's cheaper and puts out less emissions than vehicles on the road in Delhi today (which is in no way hard) I'm all for it.
AIUI many Chinese flip the name order around when they come to the States, because that's how it's done here. Or at least they put it into the expected order when talking to white people. And if her family has been here for a few generations, which is hardly unheard of, she's probably just been raised to put the surname last. I don't really care enough to go find out which name is which for Ms. Quan.
And therefore nobody from there, including those driving Century Buicks, should be pointing fingers at Indians buying the cheapest car ever and saying "Hey you shouldn't do that!"
Not even Americans who choose to rely on public transit? We exist, I assure you.
He has put out the word that he wants a dialogue with Iran.
And hasn't started one.
Pardon me if I'm way off-base (I haven't been paying too much attention to current events lately, thank you finals) but didn't he officially announce his intentions to work with Iran like last week? Government is slow and the Presidency is a busy job. Give him some time.
Speaking as someone who reluctantly installed Office 2007 (Well, Office 2008, which is Office 2007 for Macs) recently I actually have to say I'm impressed with the way it treats compatibility with Office's older formats. If you save a file as an older document type like Office 97 or 2004 it runs compatibility checks on your content and everything to make sure you don't lose anything. I'd love to see that in OpenOffice, as opposed to the vaguely frightening dialog that basically tries to get you to save to ODF because that's the only format it's sure of.
For a while, zoo keepers tried locking Santino up in the morning so he couldn't collect ammunition for his assaults, but he remained aggressive. They ultimately decided to castrate him in the autumn last year, but will have to wait until the summer to see if that helps. The chimpanzees are only kept outdoors between April and October and Santino's special behavior usually occurs in June and July.
"It is normal behavior for alpha males to want to influence their surroundings... It is extremely frustrating for him that there are people out of his reach who are pointing at him and laughing," Osvath said. "It cannot be good to be so furious all the time."
Isn't it slightly screwy that the first priority of the zoo is not on the chimp's well-being but on his ability to be a docile show animal? If you can't meet his needs you shouldn't have him in the first place.
Yeah, I'm aware of all that. I used the currency converter functionality earlier today to answer that exact question (well, actually, I wanted to know how much that 20-rupee note I'm using as a bookmark is worth these days), I was just trying to explain the difference between AJ and Wolfram's idea. I agree that Google has been introducing this functionality for a while now and I'm doubtful Wolfram's engine will have much to offer.
IIRC AskJeeves just searched the web for you. This, according to the summary, tries to pull the answer to your question out of the web for you. IE, if you searched "how many rupees in a dollar?" AskJeeves would give you a link to a currency converter; this would, in theory, give you "50 rupees" (or whatever the exchange rate is now).
Considering that he also says things like "A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?" (credit: Wikiquote) it should be easily understandable why he might feel a little alienated from the rest of everybody else on planet earth.;)

I use it on my Mac and it produces pretty decent encodes, even with the presets.
IIRC it also opens other backdoors. So it would be like the robber locking the front door but making sure your windows aren't.
And yet we seemed to manage.
The standard in the coffee world is the tasse à café (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasse_%C3%A0_caf%C3%A9), which holds around 4 fluid ounces.

Maybe I shouldn't give them ideas. I bet the author of Confickr reads slashdot.
Considering that s/he actually gets shit done I highly doubt it.
at least Fox gives a conservative view - whereas the others do NOT.
Well duh, reality has a liberal bias. ;)

Because these are physicists who specialize in carbon nanotubes?
Why the special hatred for the sniffles, anyways? Colds suck but they're not that bad.

If you think the UK is "well past" 1984 you didn't read the fucking book.
