This has to be a router problem. I can get to yahoo just fine, to their dynamic pages and all. I just checked my yahoo E-Mail and it's working. I would suggest everyone that thinks otherwise do a traceroute and you'll see the issue for yourself.
Anyone out there in slashdot know where this things limits will be? Will it be able to have as much client/server abilities as X or is it going to be more like PCAnywhere? Inquiring minds wish to know....:)
I actually spent in the upwards of 5 minutes trying to figure out how to word that. Unfortanatly, I'm a programmer and a server administrator, not an english major, so I went with what sounded the best:)
I think you mistook me, I have been using Linux at home for several years now. It's not something brand new, it's something that is just now being recognized by the "general public" for what it is capable of. As we see more publicity and more software distributors "jumping on the bandwagon" we are going to see more widespread installation's. It creates the situation of more software, and that is why I consider this a great thing.
ZDNet, CNet, MSNBC! It's not stopping, Linux is going in by STORM! Just today I was asked by my boss "How viable would it be to move over to Linux for our servers?" I mentioned that any new servers running Linux would be GREAT, however, I don't see a need to switch over our Sun Solaris box's considering we already purchased the license and all:)
Just think about it, add a regexp to this...you can get Bill gates saying things like: "Microsoft Windows dominates the market due to our huge inovation." and apply a quick couple regexp's (excuse me if they are long code, not really trying)
$gatespeak =~ s/Microsoft/Micro\$oft/g; $gatespeak =~ s/Windows/Winbloze/g; $gatespeak =~ s/dominates the market/controls your lives/g; $gatespeak =~ s/inovation/stealing and strongarm tactics/g; To get this: "Micro$oft Winbloze controls your lives due to our huge stealing and strongarm tactics". Wow, you can actually get Billy boy to speak the TRUTH!
I set this firewall up, and the last friggen thing I would want to do would be hack it. I just wish I hadn't shown my boss that little filtration function...grrrr...

Slashdot doesn't seem to want to run this story, so I'm going to point it out here. Tribes2 (being developed by Dynamix) is going to be ported to Linux. If you go to the URL here you will see that they have plans to make a Linux and Mac port and are looking for help on the sound systems for those platforms and such. I am a HUGe fan of Tribes and am EXTREMELY happy that Tribes2 is going to be on the Linux platform.
It seems as though robotics are advancing REALLY fast right now. Electronic dogs, snakes, more on the way. With all of these advances, how far are we from having cybernetic limbs? Put together these robotics with the story of the brain interfacing computer, I don't see it far off before we see brain controlled robotic prosthetics (sp?). Anyone out there in slashdot know if these are being developed, and if so, how far off are they?
Look at it this way, let's say you just made an improvement on how to design street lights, and it makes them cheaper to make. Wouldn't you want to be known (at least to those that put up street lights) as the one who did it? Everytime a new product comes out, there is SOME kind of fix or new feature in it. And some programmer is responsible for that fix or feature, and they worked hard to get it there. And you want to say "Who cares, their getting paid, that's enough." Have you tried programming? It's not exactly EASY.
You have to understand something, I am a software developer, and I want credit for software I write. If you were to put hundreds or even thousands of hours into a program, working hard to make it a good product, wouldn't you want your name on it? If even hidden away somewhere, its a matter of feeling proud for accomplishing a huge goal.
Think about it this way, we are a long way away from the core of the galaxy. Out here, stars are very far apart, and much less energy is bouncing around. A star closer to the center of the galaxy would have many more forces we can't even BEGIN to understand on it, thus these forces could cause interesting things to happen with the bonding of atoms.
In Apple's famous commercial, they are fighting against "Big Brother" (then IBM). It seems as though the Mac is trying to emulate that Big Brother attitude in saying that no one person deserves the credit for something, all credit goes to your glorious employer, Apple. Kinda scares ya when you think about it.
There's also not enough evidence to say that what we know as "the laws of physics" are infact what must exist. Again I point out to you this: If you wanted to make an experiment of the affects of radiation on the growth of animals, would you want to have hundreds of fruit flies to test on, or would just 9 be enough? We have 9 planets to study. There are trillions out there. Who are we to say that our 9 planets are the standard?
You speaking of evidence for these things in our limited view. Who are we to say that these things "CAN'T" exist when the only proof we have of what exists outside of our little solar system is what happens to come flying INTO our solar system? If you look at it scientificly, we don't have NEARLY enough evidence to substantiate ANY kind of observation of what kind of atoms exist. We have 9 planets to study, out of potentially trillions that may exist in the universe. If you were to setup a study of how rats live, and you used 9 rats, would it be considered a good expiriment? Wouldn't you want to have HUNDREDS of rats to determine if your experiment is INDEED correct?
I know this topic is rehashed, but I had to put it in my own words. We have data of what kind of organisms are alive from 1 solar system, our own. We are but 1 solar system in a galaxy of BILLIONS of stars. Then consider that there are MILLIONS of galaxys (just the ones we have been able to see) and it puts our data to shame. There are several other possibilities for life, some life forms may be based on an atom we don't even know about yet. For instance, it has been speculated that Silicon based life may exist, and other forms of life based on other chemicals, and all using our (limited) atomic charts. IMHO we need to actually start trying to find a way to GET to these planets to study them closer before we make speculations on if there is life on them or not.
Thank you for that information. As long as the eye candy can be turned off (I have a P2-333, just like to have LOTS of power left for apps) then I will be upgrading when it is released. I just got scared when I saw an integrated browser *starts getting bad Windows flashbacks* and other stuff, and got worried.
I've been using KDE for a long time now. I tried out Gnome, and what I didn't like about it, is that it is completly bloated. I have taken a look at your screenshots for KDE2.0 and it appears your heading to that same bloated environment. Will you still offer the ability to shut off all those eye candy features, like transparent terminals, to make a slim desktop environment?
With american society the way it is now, I'm not worried by what they did, I'm worried on what the rulling will be. We end up having to pay the higher prices for that lawsuit.
I think this is posted on slashdot because it could mean problems for computers sold over the internet. Think about it, if UPS become's liable for $42 billion (as the story states) they would have to raise prices quite a bit. That causes all companies that ship via UPS to have to raise their shipping prices. It's a cascading affect, and once again, the people who think they are hurting the company doing the wrong are hurting you and me, by raising the prices WE have to pay.
If this is indeed true, it could mean MAJOR problems ahead for UPS. It could also mean severe economical impacts for a great portion of companies. A lot of corperations rely on UPS to ship goods to consumers, including my own.
I want to know this guy's background. I want to know how he has ruled in other even unrelated issues. If this guy is good, and he does his job well, this could mean a QUICK resolution! If you have been watching Bill Gates' comments, he is willing to even consider a break up if resolved out of court (at least, he isn't specificly saying he WON'T consider it). This could mean the trial being over in a matter of months instead of appeals lasting for a matter of years.
