Seriously though, SuSE 7.0's release wasn't ever posted on/. I did some checking and some of the SuSE pages went up the 7th, yet no mention anywhere on/. Why? Why does it seem like the majority of "release stories" I see are Red Hat and Debian? I have no beef with Red Hat, SuSE was just what my friends used and introduced me to. But I think things like Braille support are pretty cool and worth mentioning (and knowing about). USB is important too, no doubt, but every distro will have USB support. Braille? Now that's cool. My $02.
I submitted a story two days ago about SuSE 7.0 shipping. I provided commentary on the two different versions coming out, what was in each, and the fact that SuSE has braille support and the article got rejected. But since Red Hat has USB support now, this story gets posted. WTF??
Linux is not Red Hat,

Sadly, the "small town" technical bookstore _I_ love going to is Softpro. Their Burlington, MA store is about 20 minutes away from me and oh what a glorious sight. Wall to wall tech books (they even sell OpenBSD stuff:-o). The problem is that they only sell stuff 5% off list price. I'm willing to pay a little more to help the little guys out, but when I get 37% off at Bookpool, minus shipping comes to 25% off, its still really hard for me to justify buying at Softpro. But man, do I love their store.
Fatbrain is being bought by B&N. No more cheap books for us:-(
That aside, everyone should check out Bookpool. Their prices are even cheaper than Fatbrain's (most of the time) and I've never had a problem with them.
I'm a linux fan and hate MS, but why do all anti-linux posts have to be Trolls and be moderated down? I don't agree with the guy but I think he has a potentially valid argument. My IS admin uses BIND and all, but for mail, he uses Exchange (despite all the problems we have with it). Why? Exactly what this guy said. Because he has somebody to call and bitch to when something's broke. If anything, I'm sick of valid arguments being moderated DOWN because they are pro MS. Linux will always be _my_ first choice in OSs, but it doesn't have to be everybody's.

I feel that I have to disagree with the reviewer on this point. I LOVE this book and bought the first edition earlier this year before it was announced that the 2nd edition was coming out. I found even that one, though outdated, extremely useful for setting up my home LAN (only my main machine and my gateway/firewall).
The HOW-TOs were useful as well, but without a notebook computer, HOW-TOs don't really travel on a plane well. I do feel that some of the stuff in the book is irrelevant (setting up dial up services) but that it ONLY because it doesn't apply to me setting up my DSL/Cable modem LAN at home. I'm sure it would be very useful to somebody else.
One thing I was disappointed in was the lack of coverage of DHCP. Having recently moved to a new apartment and switching from static IP-DSL to DHCP-cable modem, this book wasn't all that helpful getting me hooked up to the Net. It helped in getting my internal LAN up, but New Riders Linux Firewalls is much better for dealing with DHCP. My $.02.
Bottom Line: A few MINOR flaws, but anyone that uses two or more Linux machines should have this book.
They have a mini museum of the earliest of early IBM days when it was three separate companies. I'm sure someone there could help at least get you started.
Next thing you know American recruiters will start going abroad to collect resumes. Then the companies will have the people leave their families and ship them over on boats with horrid conditions. The "aliens" would be made to live in squallor all the while knowing that leaving their employer would result in tremendous hardship. So tremendous that they wouldn't know which is worse, stay in America with the company or try to leave it. Wait, didn't we already fix this problem 140 years ago?
Equal pay for equal work, equal opportunity for everyone
Go about half an hour southeast to Binghamton, NY. My friend got $40k+ to work for a company there (rent for a 2 bedroom in downtown is $350 a month so $40k+ is great) right out of school. They are desperate for programmers there (my dad asked me to stay home and work for his company).
Make sure that your MP3 player only plays mp3's you ripped yourself. You never know who'll be out of a job at the RIAA after the whole trial is concluded and might be interviewing you for their new company.:-)
Am I the only person that noticed the mathematical symbol on the SuSE 7.0 Personal looks like an iMac?

PS I love SuSE, but 6.3 will do me fine until kernel 2.4 (full USB mainly) has arrived, X4.0 is all ironed out, and somehow I can use my TNT2 Ultra for Q3 and UT.
Actually this is wrong. If I register a domain for myself that is my name and a company trademarks that name and tries to take my domain from me, they CANNOT. As long as I did not register it in bad faith (intending to sell it later for a profit) my name is legally mine and no company can steal a domain from me. In the mrjones.com example, The real Mr. Jones would most likely win against MRJ-Ones since his name _is_ mr. jones and thus he has a right to keep it.
This is exactly what I don't understand. I'm pretty positive that parodies are completely legal and protected by law (that's why SNL can say just about anything they want about a company/product/person because they are parodying it (and thus is not slander/liable/etc)). Could the guy be sued for using PETAparody.org?? Doesn't that stop from consumer confusion, one of the common basis(es?) for copyright infringment? If so, why is VerizonReallySucks.com not protected? Is it because it doesn't have an explicit blinking Parody tag on the page??
This'll be moderated down (rightly so, it _is_ off topic), but thanks for your input. Had you left an e-mail I would have written personally and kept it off/.(.) That being said, I haven't given up on NG:E, but after my initial impressions, I just haven't seen what all the fuss is about. Thanks and any other anime suggestions outside what was posted a few weeks ago are appreciated. Mail me with them.
I know I'll get flamed for this, but "good" anime is a matter of preference. I bought episodes 1-4 of Evangelion this weekend and after watching it, I really didn't see what the big deal was. I'll probably pick up the next 4 episodes, but every one throws NG:E into the basket with Akira and Ghost in the Shell as the "must have" anime and I don't really feel they're in the same class.
Another example is in the Anime conversation a couple weeks back, a fair amount of people mentioned they liked Dirty Pair. Blech! I quit my subscription to the Columbia House Anime club after I received a Dirty Pair tape. Utter crap! But that's MY opinion, just like Jon has his.
For the record, I thought the Maxx was pretty cool, but I was a fan of the comic before it was a TV show so I was kinda biased.
To stop people from pirating movies like this! 50 Gig will fit on approximately 10 writeable DVDs which we all know your average hacker has lying around! Ban DeCSS now before its too late!!! For only several thousand for a DVD writer and $50 a writeable DVD ( x 10), don't you people see the money that the movie industry could lose over this?? Why pay $25 for it on sanctioned DVD when they can copy it for a "small" price?!

This is the japanses PS2. (I tried replying to the first reply, but no dice) There has been a swap trick found where you can play American PS1 games, but since there are no American PS2 games yet, no one's found one. There is a trick with the controller that will let you play Region 1 DVDs but SONY has fixed this in the new version of the drivers they've produced and this won't work with the American PS2.
There are approx 207 games in deveopment for PS2 and it does some anti-aliasing (not in hardware) to make _some_, not all, old playstation games look better. It makes the textures cleaner looking and the jaggies not so jaggy.:-)
One of the games that are in development/done are fantavision a fireworks display 'puzzler' that has hundreds on invidual explosion objects/pieces flying around at the same time.
It comes with an 8 meg memory card and a controller. A mulitap can be purchased for $34 extra (and I believe another controller and another memory card are $34 each as well). Current Playstation games will be down around $29.
It will ship with a 3.5 drive bay for the rumored HD and an expansion slot for the modem/nic. Lastly, unlike the japanese PS2, the DVD drivers will be firmware and _not_ on the memory cards. The jp PS2 had issues with certain games (RR4) corrupting them and they would have to be reloaded from the disc that comes with it.

A) Frizzle Fry... sweet. Primus sucks.
B) The swap trick works on American PS_1_ discs. No one does know if it'll work on the American PS_2_ discs yet
EB and software etc/Gamestop have been taking pre-orders both online and in brick and mortars for months now
