Law practice can appear free. Some level of law knowledge can be gleaned from free sources (such as watching The Practice and Law and Order on TV :)), and better knowledge can come from relatively cheap sources (such as going to a law library and reading books). A company facing a multi- million dollar deal and that needs to write a contract without any gaping holes (a.k.a. lacunas), can indeed go to a kid who watches too much TV and ask him to write a contract. Most likely the resulting contract would be decent-looking (hey, even kids have spell-checkers these days), but will be riddled with problems and irrelevant concepts (no, the fourth amendment has nothing to do with corporate law, and you don't write objection! in a contract). So the company prefers to pay hard cash to a good lawyer with a good reputation and a lot of experience, to lower the risk of botching up the deal. Like most things in life, the amount of money you're willing to pay is proprtional to the risk you're trying to avert (or the profit you're trying to make), so nobody will be afraid to pay $100,000 to the lawyers orchestrating a $10 million deal, even if it's just 2 days of work (and many times, it isn't). Similarly, if some free software program is an important part of your company's product, and some certain fix is important to you, you have the choice to approach your neighbor's kid (who just learned C last month, and has an A+ in science in school!) and ask him to fix the problem. Another possibility is to pay (say) $10,000 to some reputable programmer, and ask him to fix the problem. If $1,000,000 of revenues are riding on this fix, which of the options do you think a company will take? Companies aren't as greedy as you think - they will gladly exchange a small part of the profit for a large increase in certainty. Last year we had a similar discussion on this list, on why anybody should higher expensive free-software consultants, when they could just get help from people on the Internet and write questions on mailing lists like this one. Here is what I wrote then: http://harel.org.il/nadav/homepage/musing/consultvsinet P.S. Because the law itself is free (in the sense of freedom) and everybody can practice law (to some degree or another), it is easy to pretend to know the law. Because bad law practice can cause serious harm to people, laws exist in most countries dictating what you must study and which tests you must pass in order to pass yourself as a lawyer. The same thing happened for doctors. Maybe one day we'll see a programmers guild, deciding who can be called a programmer? -- Nadav Har'El|Sunday, Jan 4 2004, 10 Tevet 5764 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone: +972-53-790466, ICQ 13349191 |I have a watch cat!

Let me give an example from another field. (snipped example about law practice) I think Nadav's example is a great analogy. Let me throw in my 2 cents as well. I believe most businesses know open source software isn't free (as in beer), there is always a cost. However, if the cost is cheaper than closed-source software (for any reason), they will opt to use it. Therefore, as long as the OS programmers don't charge so much as to make it more expensive than the alternative, it still makes business sense to use OS programs. For example, if I am Honda, and my options are using WinCE or Linux for my car computer, I assume I will save a lot by not paying per-seat license for the software. Assume a WinCE license costs Honda $1, and Honda makes 1M computer-enabled cars a year, if the additional work required for migrating to Linux is less than $1M, than it makes business sense to migrate. I don't think Izik Cohen has suddenly become an FOSS fanatic. Also, I *know* he doesn't think open office comes with no cost. However, he made the calculation and came to the conclusion that with the current Windows+Office prices, the Ministry is better off developing an alternative.

04 2004, 18:56,Oleg Goldshmidt: A more realistic example: if I am BMW and my iDrive system in the 700 series runs on Windows and keeps crashing then I have to factor the cost of crashes (in fixes, recalls, returns, lost customers, lost reputation, etc) when I consider switching to linux (while assuming that Linux-based iDrive won't crash all that much, of course). Except that most buisness decision makers aren't developers by training, or system administrators or even semi-technical people at all. as such they often fail to factor in real costs such as: - developers' down time due to system failures or lack of documentation. - system down time due to required upgrades or security patches to operating system. Because they are so used to having their home computers down for days as a result of viruses and spontaneus system crashes, managers cannot even entertain the possibility that there are better alternatives. When you come up to an IT manager and tell him - my software has a 99.999% uptime, he might believe you but he considers this as the figure w/o factoring in the above mentioned problems which are never factored. its impossible to explain this to people who do not have technical know how themselves. -- Oded ::..

Re: X Server for windows
Cygwin is probably the most popular (cygwin.com) Weirdx is a java x-server (www.jcraft.com/weirdx), and is appropriately nnamed. If you need speed, VNC is a better solution, although not an X-server Gil Lior Kaplan wrote: Hi All, Any recommendations on X server for windows? I'd like to set some X forwarding.

Re: Complaining and Solving Problems of the Nvidia Drivers
How about Matrox, S3, SiS and Intel? Oleg Goldshmidt wrote: Muli Ben-Yehuda [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: No, I'm afraid I haven't done any research into this problem yet and thus cannot point you to such a card, although I should, soon. I think Oleg did recently, though. Oleg? Well, I tried to stay away from this discussion, but now I am drawn into it explicitly. I changed a couple of video cards recently. My Voodoo card that had served me for a few years went bust a few months ago. The ATI Radeon card I bought then lasted about 3 months or so (till the first power outage). I am using an nVidia card at the moment. It works for me, so I have not had a chance to peruse their support in any form. Basically, the normal (i.e. your friendly neighbourhood computer store) market is shared between ATI and nVidia. There is nothing else worth mentioning, at least if you are a layman retail purchaser. As we all know, ATI cards have free (as beer and speech) drivers, nVidia cards have proprietary drivers that happen to work. Linus (check his recent LKML postings on the subject) does not mind nVidia drivers all that much, though he says it is one of the few cases where binary modules are OK. It well may happen that your friendly neighbourhood computer store will not have ATI or nVidia in stock. That is, they may have nVidia but not ATI, or the other way around. Chances are that they can order, say, an ATI card for you if you insist on it for ideological reasons. The shop I bought my current card at did not carry ATI, and not being too ideological I bought nVidia knowing it would work. Now, to the question of specs. Short answer is, I don't know, and this has a bearing on everything else I will write below. A longer answer is, it is likely that even if there is a free (as in whatever) driver for your card it does not utilize the cards full capabilities in 3D acceleration etc, because the spec is not fully known. Now, you only need 3D acceleration (or AGP for that matter) if you do something really heavy, e.g. play advanced games on your computer. I don't play games, so I would be very happy if there were simple non-accelerated cheap (as in NIS 25 rather than NIS 250 a pop) cards on the market, I would be very happy because that's all I need. Now please write down your requirements for a spec (e.g. full specification of every bell and whistle related to 3D acceleration, or basic stuff that is enough for KDE), google or otherwise ask around, and decide for yourself if that is available for the card of your choice. I would venture a wild guess that if games is your thing you will likely be better off with nVidia's proprietary driver than with a free one for ATI. -- = Gil Freund Sysnet consulting - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sysnet.co.il voice: +972-52-676906 Fax: +972-8-9356026 = = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fetchyahoo and non-iso8859-1 texts (perl and internalization)]
I am using fetchyahoo to fetch my mail of yahoo to a local machine. The problem is that I am currently suspecting it of failing to download hebrew emails properly. All such emails I get are all ??? and other people receiving the same mail when its a group mail don't have the same problems (some of them also on yahoo). fetchyahoo is a perl script that just connects to yahoo via the web interface and downloads the emails that way. Any idea how I would go about making it 8-bit encoding friendly ? (possible also utf8 since most such mail originates on windows in my case) Thanx = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I saw some commercial solutions, but I need something free (as in beer...). Thanks, I had some good experience with the X server that comes with cygwin, although it can be a bit of a head ache to set up (only some of the setup files in all the wrong places). It did give me font server support including true type (couldn't get truetype and type1 going together though, although its probably possible). It does have an option to start without a big background window (as if the programs are win32 native) although I am not sure I have seen it documented. Ran lyx, xterm, remote programs and remote sessions over XDMCP. Once it was running I liked it better then the commercial counterparts I used (excite, and the one lyx recommends for the trial version, don't remember the name).
