I swear...if we have to into the fight ourselves, I hope Bush remembers all the countries unwilling to help once the US occupies Iraq and the oil fields.

Weren't some safety experts at NASA already fired because of the incident?
Like someone on slashdot...(I don't remember who) when NASA first came into be, they had to create the technology (i.e. Integrated Circuit) in order to accomplish any sort of space flight. That same technology is still sufficient to control systems on the shuttle and it is needless and unsafe to attempt to upgrade them. When NASA finds the need for more computing power (like the mathematics involved in creating a worm hole:) they will use current technology if its powerful enough or they will attempt to create it themselves.
The airline industry probably should ground all planes until they figure out a way to save passengers in case a plane does crash. It'll be a lot better than just hoping the engines keep working, not having a backup plan sucks.
I wonder if someone will make a Quake 2 "Process Killer." This works by having the monsters in quake or any other FPS represent processes on the active system. By killing a monster you will kill the appropiate process. I remember trying it when someone hacked Doom and Quake 1 to do it. It was only a pain in the ass when the monsters would kill each other, or you mistakenly killed an important process.
PI would have probably been better off if VA Linux did not buy them out. They used to receive funding from other opensource companies like Redhat and Suse, but all that stopped when VA Linux bought them. Now it seems that one of the most important and hardest to work on opensource projects out their is doomed. 3D drivers are already complicated enough when you are paid to do the work fulltime and are nearly impossible to do with only spare minutes during the day. DRI is going to need a company to back it to get any useful drivers or a better solution would be for video card companies to write there own opensource dri drivers.
When I say core of the system I mean the bare minimum needed to get a system up and running and be used. I am sure in windows 98 you can tell the difference between the actual windows interface, like "my computer", the start menu etc and applications like Office 2000 and winamp. And GNU/Linux is different because xfree86 is not needed to get a system up and running but you could not have windows running without the gui.
I will probably be the only here to defend RMS, but I totally agree with Linux being called GNU/Linux when talking about an entire distribution instead of just the kernel. You are ignoring the work of a lot of developers by just calling it Linux. And I know people will say "We should call it Xfree86/BSD/GNU/Linux then." Well Xfree86 and a lot of the BSD code isn't needed at all to get an operating system up and running. GNU and Linux represent the core that is needed.
The linux game market is simply not big enough to support a company like this and when you put in the fact that they don't get the same release dates as windows versions and the high warez rate of there games...I am surprised they lasted this long.
Umm...did you actually ever look at any of the changes between the two rpm versions? One is gcc-2.96-54.src.rpm the other is gcc-2.96-71.src.rpm. There has been a LOT of fixes that have gone into this and all but 2 patches have been accepted by the core gcc team.

A little off topic, but peroxide seems like it is a clean fuel, whats stopping car makers from using this instead of gasoline to power cars?
Maybe the ISPs figure that they can charge people extra for using multiple computers, it has nothing to do with bandwidth usage.
Yeah...ummm no shit.
If you even believe we went to the moon. :)
I remember OpenSSH having a remote exploit within the last couple of years, so that statement on there site is a lie.

I very much doubt that the Playstation uses OpenGL to do its graphics.
If you run wine on the setup.exe for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, it will extract those pak files during the install.
I thought OpenBSD had successfully implemented encrypted swap capabilities into there operating system.
Dude, don't waste your time.

Geez its not like he requested it be called Canberra RMS/Linux Users Group.

You are the same people that will complain if the software doesn't run quick on older hardware.
Lets get real, no one calls Netscape Navigator just Navigator, everyone I have talked to calls it Netscape.

you can check http://www.kernel.org/ for a list and also you can look into the latest kernel source, check the directory /usr/src/linux/arch.
You can compile fine with the compiler that RedHat 7 comes with. I would however upgrade gcc from there errata.
Debian also comes with glibc 2.2.
