If I'm MAC address filtering how are you going to be able to figure out which MAC addresses I'm allowing to connect to my network?
First you'r have to know the manufacturer of the network cards. And then what? That page only seemed to list manufacturers, and not the complete MAC address.
Will this Beagle application work with KDE? I've tried Gnome and I much prefer KDE, it's nicer looking and simpler to use. Besides, what fortune 500 professional wants their desktop to look like it has been 0wnz0rr3d by some 1337 h4x0r script kiddie?
How limited is this? Are there major graphic upgrades in the expansions? How long will I be entertained for free? It may be nice just to try out over the holidays...
How would the scanner know whether something was being added to inverntory or removed from inventory?
Know for the idea. You are using Linux and MySQL. Why not write an open source app that can do this? Write an import filter that will import all the recipes off of (say) epicurious.com. You could even leave it so you could add more recipe sites at a later date.
Nowhere in what you quoted does it actually say that they were selling the consoles with games on them. It simply states that they had display models that had pirated game son them. It doesn't state that they were selling them.
Hence Timothy's comment. Some people need to learn to read.
My name is Tim_F and my boss just asked me to implement something that I know nothing about. Can you please tell me how to my job? I'm way too lazy to learn something new.
ATI makes video cards. The average office has no need of a high end video platform for their desktops. This is going to appeal to geeks that make their own machine and finally have an excuse to go 64-bit.
Your ideas are just as cliched as the next guy's. Only more so. Pixar makes children's movies. One way to make a movie appeal to children is to anthropomorphize the characters. They make their characters cute. And yet they still add in a little humour for the rest of us to sit back and laugh.
And it seems prevalent amongst the geek community. The idea is this:
Any computer game can be played enough that it can remove you from society. As a primarily Christian society here in North America, this is the wrong idea to have. What good are you as a person to our society, much less to God if you sit around playing World of Warcraft? How does the level of your Half-Elf Cleric Healer reflect your value as a human being?
I hope you seriously reflect on what you want to do with your life before you quit your job. You really could do better for yourself than sitting in your parents basement running on the virtual level treadmill all day long.
Ask Slashdot is not a place to get advice on how to do your job. Use Google. Teach yourself. Whatever. Just don't Ask Slashdot. All it tells your employer is that you're lazy and stupid.
Don't get me started on Gnome. It always seemed second class to me. Even when KDDE was 1.0 and Gnome was pre 1, it looked like arse. It's icons hardly achieve the brilliance that KDE's SVG icons have had for the past year. And then there was the fiasco with the new Nautilus. Which they still haven't fixed, and probably won't for 2.8.
Gnome is about as relevant as XFCE and E in the Unix desktop wars of today.
Hold off with those mod points for a second there bucko. Hear me out.
It's been how long since E.16 was released? Over 5 years. Sure it was impressive when I was running Mandrake 6 on my parent's P75 with 40MB of Ram and a 4 GB hard drives in the basement, but today it just looks andient. The brushed metal look that it originated has not aged well at all. The cleaner (and sexier) curves of KDE are what get me off these days. Let me know once E.17 is released (and looks a little like OSX) and maybe I'll care. But right now this is way too little way too late.
E has become about as irrelevant as Gnome and XFCE in the Unix DE wars.
I am interested in pursuing a career in documentation writing. What better way to earn experience than by writing documentation for open source programs?
I don't feel that I have the ability to write something along the lines of KDE documentation just yet. I would like to start with something small.
If you have an open source program that is lacking in documentation send an email to tjfriese@hotmail.com and we'll see if I can't help you out. If your program has an ebuild for Gentoo, that would be a bonus.
What this basically means is that there will now be a major open source player. If Lindows is frugal with this money, or spends it on advertising and promotions that benefit both themselves and the open source community that they take their base distribution from, we could finally see the first real threat to Microsoft! And with money given to them by their main competitor?
But an F/OSS hacker has taken a company's proprietary work and made it available for free, even giving it a similar name.
Why is this a good thing?
If F/OSS developers want to speed up Linux, the corporate environment is where they should be looking. By doing this they have enabled corporations to get something for free which could cause a company (and a lot of potential Linux users) to go out of business.
How are the developers supposed to feed their children if they're unemployed?
Does this allow you to have a DSL connection without a local land line?
I disconnected my phone and DSL when I moved recently, and the DSL stayed up after they had transferred the phone line. Something like this just makes me curious. Not that I'd want to disconnect my land line in favour of one of those cancer inducing cell phones, but you know...
Scientists will now be able to predetermine criminal behaviour in individuals based on their DNA. At or before birth doctors will be able to tell parents wether or not their children will be predisposed to becoming criminals. THis will be a good thing for society.

Wow, you'd think the editors would proofread a submission before posting it. They could even add a note saying what they had changed. ...
Any players out there?

Just because you and the article submitter don't know about something doesn't mean that the rest of slashdot doesn't know about it.

Think about it. God has a use for you.
The slashdot editors would have all the information they'd need to hack me...

problems that Firefox .9.x has had with slashdot. It seems that the side menu bars randomly overlap the main page content. It really looks ugly.
