I don't know where people get these fantastical notions of the "far left" wanting to control people's thoughts. I'm very far left and I think there should be no government whatsoever.
Then you obviously don't understand what "far left" means.
A) Slashdot isn't coded for performance, never has been it seems like. It's an ad-hoc Perl/CGI implementation. This screams "bad performance" no matter what OS you put it on. Logically if they wanted a faster response time they'd code in mod_perl, php, or SOMETHING other than this archaic architecture.
The American Revolution was illegal to. What the fuck is your point? In order to change things, you need to stand up to what's accepted in society.
I find the existing encryption licensing scheme to be immoral, and therefore, I am going to stand up against it.

There was a channel one up until the 1940s, at which point the FCC reasigned the band (44-50MHz) for certain types of radios.
Jason's whole story about the accident is here. Apparenty, the dickhead who hit him had a BAC of 0.25, and will be charged with three felonies. Trial will be some time in January.
The mklinux project is actually quite successful, and as far as I know, the only version of Linux that will run on Nubus based Macs. Anyhoo, Mach acts as an abstraction layer and pager for the hardware, making it much easier to port the Linux kernel. (no hardware-specific code was required; just a matter of gettign Linux to talk to Mach.)
So you can call it GNU/Linux/Mach if you want.
I think he was just commenting on the general coolness of that fact. You could, after all, ask "what's so special" about the distances involved in everything we do on the Internet. Well, the distance is one of the things that makes it special.
Yes! I've always been infatuated with the concept of how fast we can move information. In high school, one of my favorite physics problems was about a radio DJ, and figuring out which took longer: the time the EM wave takes to get to the receiver, or the time his voice takes to get to the mic? (It depends on distance and I forget the numbers, but the mic took longer.)
In time, I think. Remember, someone's gotta pay the bills. Most people in Africa don't have computers, and many parts of Asia, like India and China, are not very wealthy areas either. I believe when the money is there, which it will be, then there will be a compelling interest to invest in high bandwidth pipes, but not until then.
I agree wholehartedly. The only solution, IMO, is for people to adopt third party domain providers. But that won't work unless lots of ISPs start doing it. Whatever happend to name.space? It would be cool to see that stuff take off.
Well, I think the point here is that there are no new people buying computers, since everyone who is going to get one has one. That's not to say that people aren't going to continue to buy new ones, just that there won't be any new customers. Thus 0 market growth. Companies can still sell PC's, but the upward trend will have a finite limit.
Fuck having
the best economy in the world if you don't have the right to
enjoy basic freedoms. Besides which, you're wrong about
this:
If you sign an NDA, you willingly give up your right to speak freely about that subject matter. This is not a difficult concept. In order to be free you must also have the right to voluntarily give up that freedom. This is why we have contractual agreements.
Apple can and if it
wants to be stupid (and it seems to want to be *extremely*
so) does file suit for NDA violations, but it CANNOT and
SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT to file suit against the media
outlets which ran the leaks. And that's who Apple is always
threatening--news sites, the media, *the press*, who have
explicit First Amendment rights to run stories on Apple's
upcoming products if they wish to.
Apple also has the right to protect their trade secrets. While they can't sue someone who has run a leak (unless it's libelous) they can and should sue the person who leaked it, since that person obviously violated his NDA.
It amazes me how companies bring these frivolous lawsuits to the courts over absurd issues.
This lawsuit is neither frivolus nor absurd. Yesmail has a legitimate slander complaint. If a COURT OF LAW decides that Yesmail has not been slandered, then MAPS wins.
If Yesmail was really legitimate they would contact MAPS and would work out whatever issues or problems they might have.
If you had read the article, you would know the Yesmail and MAPS did negotiate, and were unable to agree on a resolution.
Whenever, companies are forced to bring things to a lawsuit you can usuall y expect that there is some foulplay.
This is the most rediculous statement yet. You're saying that whenever a company tries to protect its copyright, patent, reputation, or financial resources, it is necessarily involved in foul play? Let me clue you in on something: Corporations are not evil. Yesmail has a perfectly legitimate case.
Obviously, Yesmail is the culprit here, not MAPS. If there business was legit, MAPS would recognize that and they would come to some sort of amiable agreement.
See above.
Companies such as Yesmail are a blight and should be shut down in my opinion.
I wonder what we would happen if we shut down every corporation that was trying to stay in business...

You're both wrong. The best gaming API is ncurses.
Slash is written with mod_perl. It's not CGI.

Have you tried the mailing lists? They're quite good.
You don't even have to be subscribed to post.

Not anymore. Real Men use BSD.
That's funny, I don't remember ever getting spam from them. Thanks for the info, though.
I have found that Citibank web banking works excellently with Netscape on Linux, Netscape and IE on Mac, and Netscape and IE on Windows.

Not really, but each comment does get an anchor tag with the CID when it's archived, so individual comments can still be referenced that way.

This is technically true, but newer kernels don't seem to support direct OF booting at all. They want you to use BootX or a OF bootloader like yaboot.
If you're running a "new world" (anything non-beige) Mac, you no longer need MacOS at all to boot Linux.

My G3 Powerbook does that all the time. It's called Open Firmware. Kinda like a BIOS on steroids.
