Have you looked at the yum history ability. Esp the ability to 'undo' a transaction? Do man on yum and look for 'rollback'.

Thanks for correcting this. It is never helps for me to try to make a point with incorrect information. I may still use the quote but I'll be sure to note that it is in fact a mis-quote.

Seems this quote applies - from Adolf Hitler, Mien Kampf:
"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure
of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the
benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any
curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation."

"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people.
As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children,
the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation."

Better than the Democrats building their politically correct perfect utopia!

I'm in agreement with this as well. I'm so tired of businesses and employers thinking that I always want to be 'on'. This is their desire and dream.

This is why I'm more protective of my time and privacy. Once you are leashed by today's technology, it become very hard to rid yourself of that shackle.

I've always believed that "to solve crimes" was only a lame excuse to allow Big Brother to monitor the citizens.

Like many of the issues discussed here it really is about 'control'. Who has it and who wants to dictate it.

I've come to the conclusion that I fear an out of control Government more that I fear terrorists/serial killers/Death Flu/etc

Isn't this being a racist... That Pure evil is "a relatively young, white man"

I worked for Sun for 5 years and it is my opinion that the true cause for Sun's Demise is the Management. Over the last 8 years or so they forgot why they where a successful company and be came a large, unresponsive Corp.

I believe that they made the cardinal sin of thinking that they could dictate to their users rather than listening to what the customers wanted. (For example see Scott McNealy's comment about people not having privacy so get over it....)

I think that this thread is comparing apples to oranges.

Word is a WYSIWYG editor, while TeX/LaTeX is more a Typesetting type of program.

In Word you layout your document exactly how you want it to be viewed, whereas in TeX/LaTeX you simply concentrate on the content and allow the program to typographically set your document.

I think they are each useful for their own purposes. I don't see one replacing the other at this time.
