Read the article. It's about funding Kroupware, an Outlook like program for KDE. It is for those who are looking for an open source alternative to the MS program. A gap that has yet to be filled.
Futhermore, if you wish to get technical, using KDE would stop viruses via Outlook due to the fact that Outlook can run on KDE (well not without help)
What the? Why on earth would you need that much harddrive spacee to justify $1/TB??
I totaly agree, actualy 640K is enough for anybody.
Lets face it, we will store more and more information in the future. Our divx rips will be higher quality, 6.1 surround. Our mp3/oggs will be 6.1 sound ripped fro sacd's or audio dvds.
It has been a growing trend that as time progreses so does storage capacities and if this continues we will have multi-TB drives.
Talk to a man 10 or even 5 years ago about getting a 100-gigabyte drive and they'll think your nuts! Expecially for $1/GB!
Great comparison. While we're at it lets compare my gremilin with a ferrari.
Sure it costs 10x more but then it looks better doesn't it?
This post should be modded down as troll. While the post above this one ("I'd love one of these... in my power mac") was modded down as a troll athough it would be a great idea. Put a pc in mac, and have the best of both worlds in the same form factor.
When i first read the title to this story, I said to myself, "Wow, some guy actually hacked together some magnets and other supplies and built his own subwoofer!" But it's just an enclosure!
Wow, so what he built his own enclosure. This is common practice in both home and car audio and hardly worth the post on/.
I build an enclosure for 2 subwoofers for my car when I was 16 years old. It's not hard, and there are many MANY pages just like this one out on the web.
Another in a long line of "You can, but should you?" projects. Well if you can handle power tools, and a couple of simple caculations to get the right enclosure and port size for your subwoofer, then HELL YES! I still have mine in my car that are custom fit, and sounds better than the cheap enclosure i had before. I even used pvc pipe as the ports:P
What's also funny is the ammo mozilla/opera users use in their arguments:
As a webmaster I find myself hating IE more and more. Yes most of the webpages out there are designed for IE cause IE kills the standards. I can't get CSS to display properly on IE, but just fine in Moz. If i "hack" my code I can get it to display, but then it is nolonger w3 certitfied! What a pain!
Further more, It's not just that Mozilla/Opera has "Popup killer" it's that it is customizable. For example, I don't want IE resizing my damn jpg's and png's to fit the screen every time, yet I have not found a way to turn it off.
I'm tired of Microsoft making a new "hack" onto something great as webbrowsing and not standarizing it cause most people use there products anyway. I don't see the world as Microsoft sees it
Well this post has gone the wrong way./me can see the "troll" mod already
Being one of the few who has parted #slackware on OPN, I would like to explain this.
I used to be an operator on #slackware on OPN (freenode) for about 3 months and before that I was a regular in #slackware for about a year. Recently a lot of the ops and members had a falling out with the channel owner (robrock) due to his eradic behavor. He was banning people for no reason, threating to leave and turn the channel over to lilo and just acting childish. Quite a few of use (including 3 ops) have seen this behavior and decieded to move to a new network where we could start over again. So #slackware on oftc.net (open and free technology community) was born, and athough it was allredy registered the current owner was very nice and inviting.
There has been some talk about moving ever since the wallops of lilo begging for money started, the fallout with the owner put it over the top. We now enjoy chatting on oftc.net without either of these burndens Also, i'd like to note that either of the two #slackware's (opn and oftc are NOT official slackware channels as one doesn not exist but we all try hard to help out people as much as we can. So now you know the story, and would love to have you all in #slackware on oftc.net (hope to see your there!)
Freenet is a free p2p transfer protocol used for webpages. Although for me it is dirt slow, isn't this what Box is describing. Every machine both a server and a browser.
Nah. You could add another nic to the computer and plug it into a hub. With the right scripts you have have infinate amount of computers in the DMZ for a lot less money then the SOHO3.
I also got proof from my university. The dorms were using alot of bandwidth so we limited the traffic to 10Mb/s which made the dorms crawl like a snail (slower than 56k). Then we limited Morpheus/KaZaA packets... droped right down. It is shown in this graph. As you can see in about week 49 the bandwith was nearly cut in half. We used a program called packeteer to filter the packets and do QoS on them if you are wondering
Now the dorms are fast again. Just don't try Morpheus and KaZaA. Now as long as Peer to Peer filesharing programs don't start to encapsulate the data in HTTP packets we're ok!
utill I installed Windows 95 on it. Right when Win95 first came out I tryed it out on my 386/16/w 4megs. Talk about slow boot times. I could turn on my computer and take a shower, eat breakfast, and get ready for my day before I would even get close to being able to use my comptuer. But with windows 3.1 on it, it ran like a dream. Well maybe not a dream, but better than 95!
After seeing a couple of hacks appear here on/. , I am half tempted to start my own chapter of the Hack group here at the University of Wyoming. Although it would just be a flagrant ripoff of MIT, it might give a couple talented engeneering students an excuse to something (instead of getting drunk!).
Would this bea good idea, or just looked down apon?
Would the University (or any school for that matter) be willing to accept the hack team as one of there own?
How do you recruit people to do it?
And most importantly: How would you fund such a project? Those hacks have to cost some money!
Well just an idea as I search though the hacks done at MIT. I'll look forward to your replies.

After reading this article it dawned on me that this isn't a beta of the US version of linux for the PS2. It is just a english site on the Japan version.
The X11 screen shot on that site is exactly the same as on the Japan site. Furthermore the kit showing is also right off the Japaneese site. Check out this dmesg on the site. Look familiar?!?. Ya I though so.
From my understanding the US version will have an internal harddrive/network card to fit in that big hole in the back of the PS2.
Now I am a little dissapointed. This casts no forshadow to release of the US version and we still have to wait. Why this even made Slashdot I am not sure, but dont be fooled with this trickery.
Well as much as I dislike Microsoft you are wrong here. At the University of Wyoming we have a site license that allows us to install office and windows anywhere without worring about it.
Ya I have Internet 2 in my room. Well my dorm room. Actually here at the University of Wyoming we have been apart of Internet2. We connect to our local Gigapop that then connectes us to abliene. I am fortune enough to work for the UW network group and get to listen in on change as the such. Quite exiciting
I set up apache on my dorm computer. It can handle a few people connecting up to it also. Also I need help with the content. Please get the good articles from around the net and i will post them.

Sorry i meant an Exchange like Open Source server

then slashdot is screwed with the usage of PCI. Just to help out.
:)
PCI,PCI,PCI,PCI-SIG,PCI,PCI
P-C-I
There that should cement the usage of PCI in slashdot. Good day

I'm imaging it's like the

Then maybe they'll quit sending me letters saying that my 2 month old domains are going to expire (who i registered with someone) else!)

Nah. You could add another nic to the computer and plug it into a hub. With the right scripts you have have infinate amount of computers in the DMZ for a lot less money then the SOHO3.
Maybe in a long time. Right now Mosix is x86 only and will not work on PowerPC arictectures. We can still hope :)
If you make the pipe bigger, they will fill it.
All a college student wants is more bandwidth to download thier divx, mp3's, and warez. So do the right choice and invest in some dark fiber links!
I also got proof from my university. The dorms were using alot of bandwidth so we limited the traffic to 10Mb/s which made the dorms crawl like a snail (slower than 56k). Then we limited Morpheus/KaZaA packets... droped right down. It is shown in this graph. As you can see in about week 49 the bandwith was nearly cut in half.
