Um, this being a some what technical site, you'd think there'd be more HOWs being asked. How does one install a chip that emulates the ps2 system (we're not talking 1 chip, but a whole system) on x86 hardware? I think that feat of engineering itself would deserve it's own story.... but I mean come on, how is that possible??? If someone could explain it, I'd be happy to listen.
I use Linux at home as my primary desktop (20 days average uptime before I feel the need to play a game that works in windows only), and at work for my desktop and 40+ servers. I like X's networking capabilities but the fact is it's old and bloated. We need something new/better. Hiding X from Joe user is pretty tough. Having something like direct FB as the backend would make it easier to use for end users, and probably clear up a load of performance issues as well...
very interesting point. of course the argument could be made that the knee jerk reaction to GPL violations is the community protecting itself from explotation, while the RIAA is try to protect it's total control of the music business.
Hey, it's Sean I had a good time there, took a bit for the place to fill up. Deffinatly a good time. The music towards the end, was getting in the way of talking with others... Glad to have met you all.
Those packages were just recently released. Debian's focus is on stability, not the latest wiz-bang features. You could try "unstable" Which is on par with a x.0 release of mandrake or Redhat for stability. Heck, why doesn't every just switch over to Apache 2.0 already??
If the government creates something original for it's use how can there be any arguement as to if it should be availible to the people..? (top secret, national security stuff aside)??
It's about freedom of speech. Imagine you made fun of Ford. Imagine they could sue you for it. So yes it's silly, but it's also important that we don't give them an inch. Why? Because they will take a mile.
Is this a troll? Why on earth would you admit to having someone fired souly on their sexual orrentation. Hi welcome to the 21st century.
H2k was awesome.

Between the phone call to AT&T, and finding out that The US sells 160 proof (80%) vodka, and consuming that for breakfast on sunday... I had a good time. Now if I can get my ass down to NYC, and scrap together the money for a room for a few nights. Half the experience was hanging out in the network room at 3-4am.... quite fun.
No one is forced to say it. But can you really see a kid in grade 2 not going along with it?
No response is the best response.

Is Linux Dead?

A Linux-based open-source program called Evolution looks pretty much like a standard Windows desktop.
It's nice to see that someone did their homework. This article is blatenly biased, it's not even funny. He drops in facts, mixed with complete lies (...and continually updated and improved by a loose confederation of programmers who aren't paid for their work...). Ack!
Umm... when you say DSL, I think you're refering to ADSL which has a downstream limit of about 8mbps. Other forms of DSL vary greatly in speed. VDSL maxes out at 55mbps (limited to 1000ft though).
Right, cause OpenOffice doesn't provide similar functionality. Nor do the dozens of other apps. The argument that there are no desktop apps (let alone server ones) is now compeletly outdated. You need another reason to claim that "The OS doesn't matter, windows works, linux doesn't". Because Linux does provide the same functionality now. Mandrake, Lycoris, etc. All easy to use by beginners and windows refugees.
Unix was designed from the begining as a multi-user system, in which security was needed. Windows was designed as an easy to use consumer OS, then security was needed as it grew. Securing an already existing system always leaves room for gapping holes. Security isn't just another buzzword, but I'm sure the Microsoft Marketing jugrnaut will make it one soon. "Windows.NET Server, now with Added security!"

that might explain why it would not want to socialize with someone who is, quite possibly, younger than it.
...I still work with Interactive unix, and love is not a word I would use to describe the relationship :)

Kinda scarry how the simpsons can be tossed into almost any type of debate for a laugh....
Really, who does? It's not like games are going to increase in speed by 50%.
(oh yes, this is obviosly a troll, because it goes against the article)
where can you get 10Mbps connections for 600/month from??

I don't the device would be able to handle that.
Agreed. What needs to be pointed out (by slashdot), is that this is a "Guy in his (possibly parents) basement" review.
I still have a couple of 2600's lying around.... I should hook 'em up again.... many hours were lost playing missile command, and spider fighter..
