Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Reviewed
eobanb writes "I finally wrote a somewhat in-depth review of Terra Soft's Yellow Dog Linux 4.0. It's basically a PowerPC port of Fedora Core 2. The good? Pretty modern software, and setup is a snap. The bad? RPM sucks as always, and there are a few too many things that are broken out of the box. Linux PPC; it's a niche-within-a-niche, as I heard one Slashdot comment call it, but it may well be worthwhile if you're annoyed by x86 hardware."
The 503s are making me crazy!

I met him down in Mordor, he gave me the eye -
Da do Sauron-ron, da do Sauron,
And then he nearly slayed me, what a wicked guy!
Da do Sauron-ron, da do Sauron. qg
The thing is the solution to the stress fatigue issue is well know. Do you remember 'corded' phones? they had a destinct 'spiraling coil' shape. Well, by spirialing metal in a coil you exponentially reduce the amount of stress caused by repeated flexing, as the metal itself is not forced to bend more than a fraction of a degree at a time. Instead of the metal 'bending' the coils of metal move closer or farther apart from each other.
BTW you can get all the parts you need from say a radio shack to 'Build your own' pro grade headphone cord using a simple coiled telephone cord*, a broken pair of headphones, and a
1/8 jack
Remember, headphones are made throw away cheap so you'll buy more headphones... If they actually made them to last 25-30 years why would you ever buy a new pair of headphones?
*= these are specifically meant for corded telephones and I can't remember if they have 2, 3, or 4 leads... if they have 2 leads, then you'd need to either look for a non-standard 3 or 4 lead cable elsewhere, or use a two 2-lead cables.

Is it just me, or is it possible to see the "subscriber only" stories by accessing them with RSS feeds?
That's like saying "Macs suck, I used an LCII and it was total crap
No, it's NOT like saying that. An LCII is from the early 90s. This Dell was from about eight months ago. It also cost only a few hundred less than my Powerbook.
The only PC laptops that resemble my Powerbook are Sony Vaios, especially ones that don't have internal optical drives, and yet they still cost a fortune.
Take off every sig. For great justice.
Nope this problem is a central database problem, probably they tried to normalize the passport database, screw the pooch and had to roll everything back which is why it took so long.
Or maybe they changed a permission and spend the whole day figuring out which one did it. zkd
