The show is very much Linux-powered using aalib, XDirectFB, VLC and more to set the piece (an adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth) on an off-shore data haven." Allright, pick your jaw up off the floor ;)

      I just think about baseball and soon I find my meat missle inside of her tender mouth. With your eyes closed it's not so bad.

    Is this legal? How could they even do this in a public performance? Texas Penal Code 30.05 does not allow this at all!

      Since slashdot was coded by faggots I guess you could call it penal code.

      I prefer to call it "hippy bullshit asshole-driven shit" but to each his own.

    Keep in mind that Mr. Moore and Jon Katz are the people that profitted most from the columbine massacre.

    Now, I know that Slashdot is trying very hard to not post constant unconfirmed updates on war; trying instead to focus on other news/geekishness, but if there's nothing to post, I'll be happy with nothing on the front page...

    *sigh*

    I have been looking for an easy way to install the DirectFB project onto my system. Does anyone have a HOWTO or even Source RPMS (or maybe even RPMS) for RedHat 8?

    I'd love to get it working! The only other problem is that I am running an older ATI Rage Mobility M/P laptop so I don't even know if they have accelerated drivers for it.
