Please, try running something from a tape drive... it ain't happenin.
I remember a while ago there was some "special" tape drive that would allow immediate access to a certain 125mb or so on the tape, but I have no idea who made it.
If you really want to keep track of such things do a "find / > beforeInstall", then do "make install", then "find / > afterInstall". Put the two together, then sort and uniq, and you should have all the newly installed files. 'for $file in `cat installedFiles`; do rm "$file"; done' would wipe all the listed files.
Of course, then you have the potential problem of later removing a file that another package depends on (say, a cdr program needing cdrecord), but then you get into Dependencies and Package Management.
I remember mention of some utility that tracks installed files also, but I completely forget where I heard of it and what it's called.
While that is one of the more popular stances of Slackware users (and we're damn proud of it!), credit should be given where it's due, so it should be mentioned that slackware does actually have a Package Management System (hah! PMS! Get it?).
Ever check the contents of files in/var/log/packages on a slackware system? Each file is for a different package, and simply lists all the files a package requires, total size, description, priority, etc.
Go to linuxmafia.org, download the latest package for say, kde-2.2.1 since you see no reason to compile it yourself, and use the installpkg command, ie: "installpkg kdelibs-2.2.1.tgz".
Then go check the contents of/var/logl/packages/kdelibs-2.2.1, and voila, all the files kdelibs installed/needs, the total filesize, etc
Want to get rid of a package you don't need anymore? "removepkg kdelibs-2.2.1" will do the trick. If there's a file in kdelibs-2.2.1 that any other package in/var/log/packages needs, it won't be removed.
Want some sort of crappy gui to use for messing with packages? "pkgtool" allows you to install packages, remove packages that are already installed, and view package contents, while being slightly more friendly than having to grep each package file or opening all of them in your favorite text editor (vi, of course).
As funny as that is, it fucking horribly sucks... most @home users were banned from most EFnet servers a couple of years back... "use your own @home server", that's what they'd tell us. But then, irc.home.com also sucked fat, juicy ass, so we couldn't use irc very easily.
It has both USB and speaker/mic ports on the front. I have bought some of these cases before and am very satisfied. Just use the supplied cable extensions, and you're ready to go.
You're completely correct about EFnet being a real mess, and it is in large part due to takeover attempts. Check stories 1 and 2, posted on/. some time ago, for just some of the recent events.
I frequented EFnet all the time, but eventually left because I got tired of basically it's lameness. No nick/chanserv means people rely on their own bots to control their own channels. Once the botnet goes down thanks to some scriptkiddie's DoS, the channel is free to be occupied and the takeover is complete. Or you can hammer away at the irc server(s) the botnet sits on, causing a netsplit and once again allowing a takeover. There is usually some protection against this now, which means that during a netsplit nobody can gain OPs, but this can still lead to plenty of chaos.
At the time, I checked out DalNet and a couple of others that use nick/chanserv, but for one reason or another didn't like them (I mean, what the hell kinda name is DalNet?). I think Undernet is the more popular one for warez now, as it uses these server-side protection services.
I was involved in takeovers at one time, which meant I both gained and lost a number of channels-- at the time, either of the sides would likely have said that it was more of a contest, or a game, than just being assholes, since the chans involved weren't really that important, just hangouts. Of course, at that time we also didn't think twice about how much bandwidth we were chewing from the servers. Oh well.
Having said that, I usually only go back for warez now...
Oh, and I might as well say... ShannoW, you asshole, I liked that chan!
I remember a teacher of mine stating that a mirror is some 97 or so percent reflective, and the silver, which is one of, if not _the_ most reflective surface, is 98%.
Draw whatever conlusions you want based on that, but I'm pretty sure that losing 98% of the laser is not a good thing.
Does anyone know how much heat each if these blades will generate? Nowadays just the idea of 2 Athlons in a single tower screams "SPACEHEATER!", but what are the specs on these things? Are they made to each be really high performance, or good performance at lower power usage/heat release?
Hmm, a bunch of geeks in a large room with an equivalent number of Athlons/Pentiums and monitors, heating up the room and bringing out the stank in everyone... do I really want to be there?
This is horrible, you have to have bought the win32 ver of RTCW before you can use the linux version, as it needs the various PAK files and whatnot.
Also, single player has been disabled: "This release doesn't contain the single player binaries of the game. The menu command to switch to single player is present in the interface, but it is completely inoperant."
Forget it. Maybe when single player is activated I'll go for it. I don't want my gaming to depend on fools whose "low pings only" servers won't accept a 50 ping..
This will probably make both of you feel bad, but about a year and a half ago I was lucky enough to be able to buy a 70 Trans Am (400) Ram Air III, with plenty of engine/suspension work done.
In response to your unasked question, yes, it seriously kicks ass.
Err.. that movie did noo bring ricer culture here... rice rockets have been around for many years, unfortunately...
The movie just highlighted how horribly pathetic most of them are. Granted, there are some that are worthy of being called sports cars, but a stock Civic w/ 5 inch exhaust tip and 2 foot spoiler... hell, that stuff's only going to weigh it down.

Those who believe that we never did land on the moon are a bunch of dipwads.. all of those conspiracy theories have been debunked, and the reasoning is on plenty sites out on the web.
There was another show sometime after the FOX special that also went over each of the points brought up in the show.
Don't forget the Preemptible Kernel patch. This will reduce latencies and overall make a desktop machine feel snappier.
From what I hear, however, it's not recommended for servers where bandwidth is more important. But then again, you wouldn't be putting a bleeding edge kernel on there anyway, now would you?
Open source doesn't require that everything be standard as in the same, it only requires that everything be open; look at how many platforms open source OSes run on.
What I'm thinking is that either I misunderstood your response, or you misunderstood the original post. Either way it won't stop me from speaking my mind, cuz I'm a/.er!
Anyway, I don't thinkg anyone tried to make the point that Open Source means everything should be standardized. It seems to me the quote simply means that if MS had not standardized the PC desktop into the typical Dos/Win setup, there would have been no reason for us weirdo geeks to so zealously pursue an alternative, ie Linux.
If there were hundreds of desktop types scattered through offices and used widely, MS would not have had their stronghold on the market, which would have led to a higher quality of MS's products, which would NOT have resulted in everyone looking for a stable OS, which would be Linux, which is pushing OSS along.

Simple package management at its best.

there are plenty of cases like this one at Colorcase.

Now, do you think by "chatrooms" they're including irc channels?
Seriously. I know damn well a lot of "experienced" people that are always on irc grabbing the latest mp3 packs or other warez on irc.
Taking that into account, I'm skeptical of the results for at least chatrooms.
And it's done by people from EUKLA! EUKLA! What good can it be if it's from EUKLA?!
