Nope, I went to one of his lectures once. It was about Minix. At the end he all gave us a free Minix CD. I tried to boot it, but it failed. That was the end of my Minix experience:)
My father has a dutch site giving links to sites covering the elections (http://www.digischool.nl/gs/community/vsverkiezingen.htm , for those interested). THe site never gets more than ca. 100 views a day, today it has surpassed 1100. I expect that next week the page can be archived due to a lack of views.
"No, but it means the knee-jerk reaction of "oh, things will be better under the other party" isn't going to work either. If we want real oversight, we need to get a 3rd-party involved."
Dem: Reps and Libs suck, we are better! Rep: Dems and Libs suck, we are better! Lib: Reps and Dems suck, we are better!
Seriously. I live abroad and for the last year it has annoyed me GREATLY that every week there was at least one topic about the US election. And it has been progressively getting worse. I feel sorry for people in the US for probably having to suffer through this hell times ten because the coverage is total overkill. Just hold the elections. Tomorrow for all I care and then STOP with the coverage. I have had enough of Joe the Plumber and Sarah "you betcha" Palin and Obama's cousin twice-removed. Just stop. Show us the other things that are happening in the world please, like an indepth topic about the situation in Congo.
But it's heresy that I want to talk about a big conflict in a large country where thousands of people are dead and even more are on the run. Let's switch over to Obama's mailman from 3 decades ago, because we all know that there is no thing that is more important than trivial matters in an election.
Get it over with and shut up.
This message not brought by the Obama campaign nor the McCain campaign.
Yeah, it's called salmiak and it's probably an acquired taste. I have heard of a person who said that it tasted like catpiss. But on the other hand, the Americans invented McDonalds so I guess that makes us even:)
"For those of us who have a lot of waiting involved in our jobs, social networks encourage multitasking(and help us enjoy our coffee high) by keeping us busy while the code is compiling or the tests are running."
Try to do nothing all day with the story that you are compiling the newest Gentoo release.
I heard that Twitter squatted around 100 kazillion accounts on Slashdot including some with prime numbers. If we don't watch out all prime numbers are going to be taken!
"I've got access to a block of addresses that is so hilariously larger than anything I'll ever need that I NAT some of my home servers through proxies at work for the static IP."
Just because there are millionaires in the world doesn't mean there aren't any hobos around. And just because you have a buttload of v4 addresses doesn't mean everybody has them. And it's even worse for v4, the more you have the less we all have. The US got the golden medal in v4 allocation, africa and asia got a hounorable mention. I would laugh and cry when I will see the world shifting to v6 while the US is like an island with still v4. Reminds me of the metric/imperial system use.
Because at 2^32-1 addresses it simply stops. We are running out of ipv4 and there is only one real solution. Adopt ipv6. Unfortunately there is some extreme prejudice again ipv6 especially here at Slashdot. And if somehow a contingent of techies is against it, the spread of ipv6 will be slowed down due to non-adoption.
Wake up people, we are running out of addresses and time. Don't settle for half-baked NAT, adopt ipv6. Whine to your ISP and to your boss that it is absolutely neccesairy to ipv6.
That or pray for best. And stack some canned soup and shotguns.
"Before I hit the codeweavers web site, and possibly generate some undeserved ad revenue for them, can someone explain to me what codeweavers is and what software they make/sell?"
Basically it is a commercial version of Wine. Wine tries to implement the Windows API on linux in case you didn't know. I personally never felt the need to buy or obtain Codeweavers since Wine currently does what it needs to do for me and in order for me to totally switch to linux I need more than both Codeweavers and Wine can offer.
If you have a linux box I'd say gice it a chance. I mean, what could possible go wrong(don't think about this)?
- It's slow(duh, connecting to the internet and such) - You have no privacy (MS knows all) - You have no control (MS controls all) - You have no guarantee (MS decides when you are allowed to use it)
I'm sorry but this is Slashdot and am an advanced member. I do not read the articles nor the summary and I don't read the entire comment. I just post something and hope to get +5 Insightful.

"Where are the angered masses?"
Well, they are trying to post angry messages all over the world but they are cut off of the internet right now :(

Well, I do know what Salmiak tasts like so I guess that catpiss is rich with ammoniumchloride :)

Every time you tie your shoes, the universe kills a kitten(through 4-dimensional knot strangulation). Think of all the kittens!
Every time somebody mentions FoxFire, God strikes a fox with lightning(thus creating a FoxFire).
Discussions for trolls, flames that matter.

Yeah, the US ditched King George and got President George, son of George. Big improvement.

"You're getting paid to do a job, and you're not going to be personally liable should anything go wrong anyway."
"I was just following orders!"
Where have we heard that golden oldie before?
We finally have an excuse to ban Twitter and send him and his sockpuppets to Gitmo!
and have the dog shit coincidentally spread out in the form of an (intrepid?) Ibex.
"Or just be a frickin file nazi."
Yeah, but exterminating .doc files makes me sad :(
I think to most people 7000 miles says as little as 11000 km. THey are so big that you stop imagening how big it is.
