This is a clear example of a bad default option. I see this all the time when I install a software in PC. BAD default option: If I hear nothing, to the contrary soon, I'll start cleaning the house next week. GOOD default option: If people say "ok", I will start cleaning the house next week. BAD default option: A selection box of "Keep my personal info in the server and inform me for any updates." is checked during the installation of a software like MS. Good default option: Selection box of "You already bought our software. Therefore, we will not bother you in the future unless the box is unchecked." is checked. hiro On Fri, 16 Nov 2001, Christian Holm Christensen wrote: > Hi Flemming, > > On Fri, 16 Nov 2001 12:36:26 -0500 > "Flemming Videbaek" <videbaek@sgs1.hirg.bnl.gov> wrote > concerning "where is root?": > > Until today I trust that my root setup was to point to > > /opt/brahms/root/root_v02.02.. but this seems to have disappered on > > the linux boxes. > > As I wrote last week [1]: > > I really do think, that we should delete all installations that is > not in the /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/[pro|new|old] trees, since they > cause more confussion than anything else, and as outnlined on > numerous occasions, that really posses no problem for user that want > to keep thier own installation of BRAT.
