Dust filters get cloged very quickly, for a more permant solution you'd need an air scrubber, might be able to build something a lil less costly from a vacuum cleaner, thoes funky bagless ones wuold be great.
Some linux users might, but most of us just want to run some of the programs that are available for windows without the horrors of having to use windows, you never realise how opressed you are until you are free.
You can't quantify how much more secure or how much more reliable or how much more morally superior, but it is more secure, it is more reliable and it tends to be morally superior, who cares if you can't measure the size of X and Y, you can tell that X > Y in the majority of cases:)
Please do not download the ISO's from the primary slackware site, it only has a 6Mb/s bandwidth and all it takes is a few people with cable modems or DSL to totally flood it, then there is no bandwidth left for the mirrors to use and thus the rest of us have to wait longer, only check the primary site for checksums and file sizes so you can later check if your local mirror has got the full ISO transfered.
Often there are a large number of very local calls, avoiding the networks and being able to connect directly with another mobile would be far more useful, the number of times when people make phonecalls from 2 parts of a shoping center or to their mate who is just walking into the office...
When will people start spelling things how they sound, hey lets call this new product a Wheel, but it's pronounced Vamaslampe HEY WHAT A GREAT IEDA:) d'oh!
The other comments are vallid on this one, but also remember you are most likely to be using just your thumb, so the whole idea of most traditional keyboards can be scraped anyway since you loose 9 of the digits.
Is it me or is the placement of the letters all wrong, shouln't the most commonly used letters be grouped together, and the most comon sequences of letters used to work out the relative locations of the other letters, only a short while ago I heard something about the worry of RSI to some people who text to much, surely they should have looked at this...
'Electronic comunication system where messages are stored for later transmition to one or more recipiants'
Thats the best I can come up with, unforutnately it covers many more things than email, and doesn't cover the case when email is a direct peer to peer operation.
Who on gods earh steals books, you can just go to your local library, take it of the shelf and read it if you need it that desperately, books stolen from libraries is more than paid for by the charges encured by late return fees, no one I know would ever concider copying more than a page or 2 from a book and the'll probably end up buying it anyway if it is of any use, and how would taging prevent someone copying a page or 2 anyway?
It only helps comerce and the government, would you like to have been tracked geting a copy of a few books by the author Karl Marx during the last century? Do you want to get yet more junk mail because you happen to have bought 2 cook books in the past month?
If so, I'm sure theres easier ways to achive your goals than taging every book sold from x point onwards.
Tis easy to use, it has many many faults, but for ease of use from wordprocessing throw email to programing, it is very easy to use, if only my machine was a bit faster than 56MHz:/
serious design failures like the missing microkernel
missing? your going to have to be a bit more clear, it is a bit like saying that a car is clearly defective because it dosen't use the type of engine you like.
One thing I hope to see also is asyncronous design, where there is no longer a reliance on a clock, each element just tells the ones next to it when it is done, thus everything runs at optimal speed, research is being done in this area, which looks quite promising.
If you want true economies of scale you get a proper dvd press, and I would think it a safe bet that there are a few rather large orginised crime bodies working out how to get a nice dvd press to sit along side there CD press.
A Source CD stuck onto the side of every submarine sold...

2.5.4 Kernel Out
·
· Score: 1
The development kernels are not for your normal user, they may turn your machine into a pile of pixy dust wihtout warning, this is probably the main reason why it should not be announced on/. since people will try it out, without backing up their system first.
I would in this case recomend just waiting for 2.4.18 to appear, it will most likely have the fix, you only needed that nopentium line if you want to run 3D Accelerated graphics programs like Quake3 anyway.
Old archimedes? Well it is now only RISC OS the operating system which thoes old machines ran, and the font anti-aliasing works as fine today on huge resolution monitors as it did back then, every other font anti-aliasing I have seen pales in comparison.
No support for LCD pannels though, but you can't have it all.
Completely forgeting the flame wars that have resulted from calling it RiscOS, it is RISC OS, the company that produces the desktop version is RISCOS Ltd, the only thing with lower case was the RiscPC one of the last RISC OS machines made by Acorn Computers
Do the math correctly and don't put the UTC there next time. (for any simpltens there who dont understand which time zone it should be it should be your local timezone since the system clock is set to your local time thus the diference is already taken into account)
In some countrys I believe that it is impossible to pattent a alogrythum and since DNA is a alogrythum to create life it could be argued that it is impossible to pattent DNA at all (in some countrys at least).
- I dont know how or if alogrythum is a correct spelling and I dont care

Same coffie machine, rong camera, digitiser and access machine, bring back the good old Acorn hardware ;)
The AMULET group at Manchester University have been developing this for years based on ARM cores.
