Hmm... what is it with beards and UNIX gurus and Jedi. When Obi was an apprentice, he was clean shaven (and his master Qui-Gon had a beard). Now that he's the master, he's all fuzzy. Maybe it's a UNIX thing too:)
Try the late Richard Stevens' book

Learning IPv6?

· Score: 2
You can try reading UNIX network programming by the late Rick Stevens (2nd edition). It covers IPv6 network programming...
1st and
2nd
volume.
Skywalker had a brother? Which Skywalker? Not Luke (maybe Jon Katz has the Really Special Edition, who knows). I know Anakin doesn't have a brother... hmmm... another Katz mix up?
Sun's Grid Engine comes with SuSE 8.0

SuSE 8.0 Now Shipping
·
· Score: 4, Informative
Sun's Grid Engine is included in SuSE 8.0... I think that's a significant addition, as grid computing becomes the "hot" topic amongst CS researchers nowadays. Good to see Linux on the cutting edge.
Generic plot? Heck, how do you know that? Have you seen the movie already?
Personally, I think that lightsaber action rocks. Give the movie a chance. At least, watch it before you judge it. It seems you just bashed it simply because Star Wars bashing is the in thing nowadays in/.
What's the point of this? There's only one banner ad at the top, which is non-intrusive and I don't really notice it. Heck, I even like to see some of the cool stuff at thinkgeek once in a while (although I never buy anything). I don't know how much money you'll get from this.
...probably gonna be buried in a mountain of comments, but for what it's worth, congrats Rob... you certainly are a lucky guy... you actually got a girl:)
...now teach the rest of us geeks how it's done!
This reminds me of an old Dilbert cartoon...

... where Dilbert installs some obnoxious program on his computer that scans his hard drive, steals his credit card number and automatically purchases software IT thinks HE needs. At that time, it was a joke. Now it's a chilling reality.
Who cares about slashdot polls? iDoorstop vs. iMelon? Sheesh.
Besides, read the disclaimer:
"If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane."
ZDNet, however, is an important source of information for clueless, pointy-haired decision makers (or so I've heard). The fate of our fellow programmers lie in the hands of PHBs and ZDNet polls!:)
I must agree with you completely on this one. I, too, have an SB16 ISA which I bought back in 94, and it works beautifully. I added a Yamaha DB50XG to it, so it's got kick-ass MIDI (though no-one cares about MIDI anymore...sigh). I'm one of those guys who can't hear anything more than stereo, so an Audigy is overkill...besides, my old SB16 ISA has got great Linux support!
...I thought it was some kind of gimmick on SciAm's part that allowed us to read their magazines in 3D if we had a decent 3D card... heh... kinda like their April Fool's articles.
Slashdot Mirror
How come Star Wars is suddenly uncool with the /. crowd (Ep 2 was quite fun)? Or maybe because Jon Katz thinks it's uncool, now it's become cool? :D

So how is this "non-hazardous"? Are they going to hand out safety harnesses to crowds before they get sprayed with slime?

Oh wait, I thought you meant this guy.
You'd think he'd have better things to do, like bug Jean-Luc.

Nah, they use alien technology.

I believe what the original poster meant was that the term "robotics" was coined by Asimov, meaning "study of robots".
Well there's always this.
/. running a story about NASA donating some stuff to this site...
I recall
You can't go direct to /forbidden for some reason...
Well of course not. It's forbidden !.
A link available here to the 2nd teaser which is supposedly only for owners of the Ep 1 DVD.
X-Friends was awful! That joke about erasing the backups just fell flat.
I looked for "Richard Dryden" on Google but all I got were soccer sites. His name seems vaguely familiar... something to do with NASA?
