I know books are always a good thing to have on hand, and they can easily be useful when you need to look stuff up, but when your on a webserver, you obviously have web access, and therefore should have access to apache's docs section. And an experienced admin should have at least the ability to understand those. I just see very little point in buying one of these to keep soemwhere besides a home bookshelf.
That sounds very nice, but for a simple coder such as myself, an air conditioned room with a caffeine fridge within reach and my sweet midtower box hooked to a T1 pipe is all i'd ever need =). It'd probably take longer to make me bankrupt too.
Many people think of a place that doesnt' have the internet as remote and desolate, when they don't always realize what they are saying. Most places have the ability to use a cheap dialup now adays, but other than that some places are left in the dust. Many places in the US don't have access to DSL, ISDN, Cable, etc, and all the people who do often call those people (such as myself) just too much of a cheap bastard to pay for it (even though i am, but thats besides the point that i dont have it in my area). There are probably places in the US (yes, mostly remote areas of alaska and small islands of hawaii about the size of my desk) that dont even have net access at all. Starting to fill in the gaps is the start of making the net more widely used for everyday things.
But how powerful are linux palmtops? Can they rank up with a 500mhz desktop? Does it have enough hdd space to compile Enlightenment, GNOME, or KDE? Is it upgradable to include the things that it lacks hardware wise?
Makes me thankful that i got off aol itself 6 months after i got onto the net and signed up with a free isp under a name in ohio (yet i am a proud new yorker). sometimes being paranoid pays off.
Websense blocked me from reading the editorial until i get home from school. Stupid school board can't even find hte on button for their own computers, and the person who installed websense (and knows how and why it works) didnt get to make decisions as to what was filtered. Im sure it was a funny article too =(
I walked into barnes and noble the other day and saw 90% of the new books shelf covered with autobiographys. Mostly of ordinary peeps who just wanted fame. This tends to make people like me not care enough to look for autobiographys for people that i might care about the life of. Now, if someone like linus wrote a novel, i'd buy 3 copies right off, but an autobiography i wouldnt have even noticed released if it hadnt' been/.'d
Maybe i should get my other releases to boot properly before trying this one =) Of course, it would also help if my partition table was properly installed too =)
This guy doesnt "hate" people that do this, he just doesnt like them very much. If every judge was like this, then we'd have open sourcing down the drain in no time. Time to move on and hope the appeals judge is a little more friendly.

Maybe my clock radio can run DOS!

At least until someone figures out how to use a hex editor and turn them off =)

Oh my, it's not like you see one of those every day. And god forbid we see any moving, talking pictures either.
Sounds like the decision to remove all films shown on the net before the box office from the competition for academy awards.

Must be one of the windows development team that got laid off, his version of going postal =P
Maybe they'll be able to back their claim that they invented an open source revolution if this happens
Sounds like the all-in-one scanner/printer/copier/fax things. I have a canon one and i barely works. I wonder if this will follow the pattern?
Bad thing about hardware is that you can't just issue a bugfix patch =P
Avoid companies that appoint lawyers to positions that involve my privacy (especially if lawyer has previously been a prosecutor).
Go to linuxhelp.org (my personal favorite for howtos etc) and print and xerox everything you think is understandable.
Still is, but now this namestealer has stolen the name and made it bad!

Ah, megs of realaudio just for this:
"hello, this is larry wall, and i pronounce perl, perl"
They can kill all partitioning software that can add linux/bsd/*nix partitions and increase their monopoly.
Maybe i should get my other releases to boot properly before trying this one =) Of course, it would also help if my partition table was properly installed too =)
within a week we'll have trin00 and netbus for playstation
So what? It still can't beat project submersible. NO2: the only way to chill =)
