Do you use your Fedora install in an AD Enviroment and get proper resource/permission/authentication? What packages properly handle the translation from AD permissions to the Linux level of permissions? Only projects I' can find for AD on Linux are old as RMS himself, or too expensive for one laptop out of 400 in a company.

$99 for a partial Office suite, could be seen as a good investment. Until next year, when your new investment is no longer compatible with the latest OS/hardware shit being pushed. Then it's another $99 to upgrade. (Rinse, Repeat.)

Absolutely nothing worthwhile. They should actually look into the rampant corruption and outrageous pricing model of the cellphone carriers instead of worrying about a few alpha particles.

I tried so hard to get used to E16, and get it running stable on Debian wheezy... but it just wasn't in the cards for me. I'd love to give it another shot, but I don't want to fuck up the system I'm using right now without a way to get back to it if E16 does fuck up again.

Somebody has to farm gold in WoW.

A dedicated county/city wide server farm would probably be easier to manage and update than a per-school server rack.

Americans will generally only read news articles that are of interest of something pertaining to them or their general situation. Iran issues, to Americans, probably don't mean much of anything. Angry birds on the other hand.... now THAT is the stuff that matters. Nothing more than a poor attempt of Fox to garner page views from readers.

Now now, you don't have to be THAT Desperate. Hell, that's like saying you're hungry enough to eat Arby's. Time for an intervention!!

The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. If stiff penalty stopped criminals, then we wouldn't have a need for prisons.

I second the Clevo/Sager laptops being awesome. I currently have a Sager NP5175 ordered through XoticPC.com . The laptops are a bit pricier than the standard off the shelf junk you get elsewhere, but there's a reason for it. The build quality is pretty damn good, sturdy machines, and you get way more for your money in terms of hardware. XoticPC is spot-on in terms of a reseller, and customer service. This Np5175 also has great battery life, normally lasting for me around 3 1/2 hours on average.

Yes, because public transportation is so READILY available in some rural areas.

Except, here's the thing. I LIKE to watch movies. I like to give my money(IE support) to local business (like a movie theater) to continue bringing some entertainment into this podunk little town. However, the theater does not have a choice in whether or not to give the money it gained to MPAA (and associates). The local theater (any theater) MUST give 100% of all ticket sales to the record/movie industry for the first two weeks to a month after a movie is released. 100% of the money given to the theater to WATCH the movie, for an entire MONTH is given to the fucking RECORD/MOVIE companies.

The MPAA can't force YOU to give them that $10, but they CAN and DO force the theaters (which are independent companies mostly) to give THEM (MPAA) 100% of all sales. I do not want to give my money to MPAA, but in order to watch a movie anywhere in a theater, you have to. You cannot tell the theater to 'keep this for yourselves'. Welcome to capitalism.

Welcome to slashdot. You must be new here....

Truth hurts, doesn't it? IF you've never done this but are 100% sure that it can be done.... Well... would you mind sharing some investing tips with me too??

Yes, in fact, they do think their subscribers are idiots. They're learning from the cable companies, after all.
