Old SMS client -- System Management Console --- Is supposed to be automatically updated via sms push to the new client -- Configuration Control/Console or whatever.

I've seen computers fall off the 'good' list and onto the 'naughty' list quite frequently. They don't generally patch themselves and make it up to the 'good' list on their own...though that is specifically the idea. M$ hasn't gotten it right for the last decade...so obviously they are going to patent the process and make more money off other people that DO make it work.

Yes....I just got goaded into replying to a troll.

Either Anonymous is the most stupid soldier there is -- think went to army basic training and failed out or came from a family full of army, but never had the guts to do it himself
OR
He is just a 20 year old dork that doesn't know much about anything but nevertheless feels the need to comment and be rather offensive and claim things like brainwashing and alude to his own higher moral field.

Anonymous obviously doesn't really know what he is talking about. What I stated was absolute truth and known designations by millions of people that have served in the past, and are currently serving.

Calling an airman, seamen, or marine a soldier will usually get you an evil look during the daytime, and potentially into a fight in the nighttime. Same the other way around. No marine or soldier wants to be called airmen or air force.

All are equal, but each is most definitely separate and proud of it.

Many of the highest rank, including presidents, have refered to the joint force as warriors. The root of it I believe comes from the airmen that were paired with army units to call in close air support. They were air force, assigned to army units -- and they needed something other than soldier or airmen to jokingly refer to them since they fulfilled both roles -- warrior was a non-offensive perfect fit.

Who doesn't want to be a warrior? Everybody kind of likes that term.

So, he will have even less incentive to NOT hurt HP. The stocks might have given some incentive and/or conflict of interest when faced when challenging HP in any way. Now he can can freely use his ~*amazing*~ competative knowledge against them.

Interesting way to settle a lawsuit. I'm curious how this will play out during the next 10 years with government and large contracts.

This is September. Ubuntu 10.10 will be out next month...Kudos for a 'fresh load' if desired or an upgrade in short order. While OS stability is nice -- supposedly when an application is written for WinXP or Vista or 7, it works on that version for as long as you have it -- however in practice this hasn't always been true. I appreciate having nice clear dependancies...which is sometimes very difficult to determine in windows.
Getting a particular version of an app running right in linux may be a pain sometimes, but at least there are published dependencies that are supposed to get something working.

Whenever I feel like exercise, I lie down until the feeling passes.

Working...
