very very excited by this launch but I hope it works in ways I don't normally worry about launches. whats the chance that NASA would try a solar sail if the russians fail? and the russians don't strike me as being pioneers anymore. ok this is pioneering but they don't strike me as being successful pioneers of late. good luck ruskies.
but star wars interests me only as it pertains to my status as a geek. I'm far more interested in seeing Spider-Man than episode 2. Spider-Man I intend to see on day 1. Episode 2 I'll wait to see until someone tells me something good about it. A Jar Jar death scene would be nice.
free speech is guranteed so long as your excercise of that right does not interfere or infringe on the rights of others. You have the right to sell Playboy but we ask that you cover any images that might be visible to a child standing in a book store. and that you move the magazines out of a minor's reach.
Isn't this the same as asking porn operators to move to.prn? can't you just say that.prn is the brown band around the magazine cover? A simple mouse click would ban.prn sites from your computer without a password and essentially you never have to worry again that your child is seeing inappropriate material. And those things that might seem inappropriate but aren't could remain unblocked. (beaver college? remember?)
I think.prn is a great idea that pretty neatly solves alot of problems that legislators have. We don't allow pornographers to sell their wares on mainstreet. why would we allow it on the mainstreet (.com) of the net? and as far as other nations go just ask them if they would mind. would it be that big a burden? there comes a point where a person's rights contradict common sense and neighborliness.
Its strikes me as kind of funny that his novel is wiated for with the same anticipation as gnome 2.0 and kde 3.0. It's not software guys. Its a hardback. Two different animals.
not yet a member. I'm over my credit limit:) but soon I will be. Mandrake jsut seems to be what this whole thing is about. If you like something you support it. thats it. we've been complaining about getting music on a more reasonable system usch as the honor system. Yet when a software company that does good creates an honor sytem club type thing we crap on it. I hope it is a huge success. As far as I'm concerned if I join the Mandrake Club I'm not a member but more a patron of software. I can make suggestions to the developers and they implement them and I show my appreciation by paying a certain amount to continue that work.
I can appreciate that it is very interesting to mathematics folks. thats easy. no one knows what I'm talking about when I mention quantumn physics (I'm not a physicist but I can wrap my head around what I read). Mathematics however just befuddles me to no end. Could several of you math junkies point me in the direction of a good starter text on Mathematics? Something I can pick up at Barnes and Noble. Not the Knuth of Mathematics either. Knuth's titles are enough to make my toes curl and my brain fry. Just a layman's intro to Math will do. I'll ask again when I've figured out the first one.
I don't own a mac of any kind though an ibook is on the list of things to get so linux ppc distros are of some interest. I've heard of YDL for some time now and I have to say I'm rather disappointed. There aren't that many macs they need to test on. unlike the pc world the hardware for a mac is mostly unchanging from one machine to the next. why can't they get something as simple as the proper sound output driver correct?
no offense, I'm not distro maintainer but that just seems like an easy one.
all of these cds that come out with the protections on them. Has anyone noticed that they're not exactly the sort of music that copy protection circumventers really care to listen to anyway? Stories like this will interest me when someone like moby puts out a copy-protected cd. its a bit more likely that crackers would be pissed if they couldn't get a dose of moby. or fatboy slim or insert the name of your favorite artist here. Do crackers listen to Celine?
wouldn't this be similar to say you're watching friends and while you're watching someone enters your house and paints your television pink, puts a sign on top of your tv that says buy tampax, and replaces your remote with a tampax branded remote?
seriously. what happens when the program expires and no one is maintaining that software anymore and there is no upgrade? also. since its open source whats to stop me from getting a hacker (the good kind) friend to remove the time-bomb code? This all sound like an asinine idea. Much more trouble than its worth.
a majority of/.ers are open source types. have you read open source documentation? is this really the best focus group to ask about documentation? in fact i suggest you do what most/.ers do. wait till O'reilly releases a book on your project.:)
It seems that the larger my drives the shorter their life. am I just using the drives more now? I doubt it. I would like some recommendations for rock solid drives in the 40-80 gig range. I just got a maxtor 40 gig not long ago. (have to keep the pr0n and mp3s someplace) it cost me like 100$ which isn't bad at all but how long will it last? I've been buying cheap so I don't feel bad when the drive dies in a year. You can't say that you get what you pay for either cause I've seen super expensive drives that were trash, case in point the 120gxp. so i call on the minions that read/. and use drives more than anyone. what do you recommend? 5400s are fine for my uses.
I once was one of those jackasses that despised the mac without actually knowing much about it. too my shame. I've grown up though. I use linux now and can't say enough good things about it. I only boot into windows to play tony hawk2. I have to say that for the first time I'm drooling for a mac. there are multiple reasons but i suppose the top two are that i understand i can run linuxppc on it. and two macs just look so cool these days. the new os the new hardware makes me drool. I have mac envy. I've always built my own machines but I'm looking forward to putting my tax refund towars the purchase of one of those nifty 14.1 in iBooks. can't wait to get one. I just hope the mac community will welcome me the way that linux did and not with the blase who cares attitude that windows just ignored me.
I switched to mozilla on windows as soon as they added tabbed browsing. it is the ultimate addition to web browsing. just so much simpler to manage then the old way of having 800 windows up. and no its not just for porn sites:) I've really been impressed with the latest iterations of mozilla on both win and linux. i stopped using galeon a while back and now i even use mozilla-mail. i never expected to be such a mozilla fan but I really am impressed with what they've done. my congrats to the team on doing so much for so very little.
if you don't like it then don't fucking use it. god damn all these posts about taco not knowing what he's doing or not paying attention to the community. shut up already. its his fucking site. let him do as he pleases and if you don't like it theres always kuro5hin.
I simply must believe that all Mac users aren't as braindead as this one. I've made what seemed to be simple mistakes in windows and linux but at least I was smart enough not to broadcast them to the world. Mac users have to be smarter than this guy.

I think
nano. its pretty quick and pretty basic from what I've used of it. I prefer vi for a thousand reasons but nano is nice.
see now thats a project. an octupus on speed. I might have to take a trip to the aquarium now.
how long does it take to build a pc? I've built several. it doesn't take that long. an hour tops.

the latest installment of duke nukem is ready to roll. yawn.

um don't most of us shun sunlight now anyway? heck my drapes never open. I think the dust has glued them shut.

ugh
grr argh
ok boob. did you read the log? were you online for the chat? taco said that any money that comes in is tracked and tagged for /. only
troll.

too right.
I'm starting to think some folks are creating their headlines with the express purpose of being slashdotted.
you and those like you is why I put in the exception for number crunchers. (no offense not trying to segregate the number crunchers) :)
