This brings up a dam good question. Where could one find a programable remote control? For example, something that would plug into the serial port and you could send basic commands via remote though your back seat to the laptop stored in your trunk? Now listen you could do some pretty dam cool things with something like this, provided it had some type of customizable interface like a C API or Perl Module;)
#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use Remote;
my $interface = Remote->new();
while(my $command = $interface->param("input");) {
if ($command eq "button1") {
$interface->play_really_loud("*NIN*");
}
}
Also anyone know where I could find one of those sexy little LCD displays? I know they are around, but forgot where. Something that has an open interface.
I got 2 used laptop from work and they would be prefect for this sort of thing.
Hrm wonder if I could get some type of GPS module for this type of thing... and map software... on linux or BSD.. Hrm
Fuck it, I am going for it... I am building a bat mobile. Something that would make James Bond cream in his shorts.
yea.
and then I am going to slap a big fat fucking "POWERED BY GEEK (and gasloine)" sticker on it and mount a quick cam on the dash.
This would make a great ride to get to work in.... I only live 2 miles for work... I think I need to move farther away like Canada or Sweden... better yet, the fucking moon... I dig man.
Let's not limit the scope of this to Europe. I'd *love* to do some Perl/PHP programming in Latin America (a Spanish speaking country) for a few months (years?). Any pointers?
I would like to do Perl/PHP programming in Latin for a couple years:
Universal Law No. 312: If you call automatically equate GPL'd software with "open source," you will get a corrective statement from the FSF or Richard Stallman.
I think they teach that in physics 101, right after the gravity chapter.
So sure there is a standard to put "special" elvens into, but what about the not so special elven?
All your [Linux Standard] bases are belong to us*
*us is defined as:
Including but not limited to Caldera/SCO, Debian, Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE, and Trubolinux. IBM, Intel, Linuxcare, Metro Link, VA and others.
Yea sure censorship is a good use for this, but a much usefully method would be used some type of AI filter for spam instead of procmail:)
AI that filters spam for me. Could I get that please, could I get that on a stick covered in mustard please. Mmmmm deep fried AI spam filter on a stick. I can taste it now, nothing fills your tummy more than deep fried AI!
Just whispering a few hot terms like "ASP" makes the CIO of a company blind to any financial exposure that an application has to another company's future? Geez!"
I got up close and whiserped "A-S-P" in the CIO ear and he didn't exactly go blind like this author would have you think. In fact he just looked at me like I was a freak or something... proving that his eye sight is in fact fine.
Slashdot should check there fact before posting this junk.
I don't think he is trying to profit from this to much. Think about it, when Red Hat, VA Linux and all the other "linux" companies when public, most offered him a decent chunk of the IPO. Also his current job developing CPUs I would assume pays a decent amount. I am will to bet he could retire now if he wanted to.
I think Linus is probably writting it to write it. I don't think he is looking for money in this, I think he is looking to "tell his story", which IMHO it will be an intresting story.
If Linus really wanted to make cash of his Linux Fame there would be a lot better ways to make a ton more cash then though a book.
Um so he has a honorable PHD, wrote some of the most popular free software, re-engrized the free software movement, helped develop a CPU and also has time to develop a famliy, while moving from his native land/launage. And he is how old? 30-40?
Plus really Linuz put in the "final peice" of the 100% pure GNU useable OS "puzzle". I say "useable" because not many people are using the hurd kernel is a productive envoriment.
Linuz (with the help of others) slaped that final kernel peice in and said "Done, there you got %100 hackable freely avaiable OS with all the tools and toys you could ask for"
Sure there where/is other %100 GPL OS out there, but not really as mainstream as GNU/Linux and not as useable as GNU/Linux.
Yea I also think "Encomeny" is spelled wrong and am pretty dam certain that "betterment" isn't even an actucal word. I think I just spell "actucal" wrong in that last sentence.
Let's not even go into grammer.
The sad thing, the real irony is that ever day I get flamed atleast once a day on my grammer and spelling from someone on slashdot. My spelling and grammer does suck, I am not den(y?)ing this, I am just wondering when slashdot turned into a spelling bee.
But that is only half of it, the real kicker is that I get paid as a techinical writer. After I submit my work to them, they run it though an "editor", whose sole job is to fix grammer and spelling errors. I guarnette he hates me. I am certain he has detailed plans on how to kill me.
I get less flames on spelling and grammer from my employeer then from slashdot.
One of my freinds is Korean and only has lived in the United States for less than 5 years and only started learning english 6 years ago. The second irony is that my Korean freind has a way better grasp on the english launage, spelling and grammer than I have ever had! I think he also has a way better vocabluarly^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H, err "list of words stored in his head that he can use in every day converstation"
Your are probably think of antisocail here. Antisocail is going against soceities norms. Going against "Slashdot's Soceity" would be to troll.
Asocail on the other had is people that don't interactive with soceity, neither against and neither with. Not going with or against "Slashdot's Soceity" would be lurkers that read, but do not post.
In the context you used it, I think you meant antisocail.
Yea you make a good point. But you have to consider; how would the medical field pull out higher profit marges for "helping" people?
Also you state that their would be less misdiagnoses and mistreatments, which is probably true. But yet again you fail to consider what would happen to all the lawyers with this huge amount of decrease in their work load?
Things are just known, DUH! You don't need "real non-anecdotal data" to prove or disprove something.
Some basic facts that are known, and no their isn't any "proof", but does that make them unreal:
1. People need sleep
2. People need food
3. The world is flat
4. Cats will suck the life out of babies!!!
5. Your high school shop teacher DID cut of his little finger during class. You just where gone that day.
6. Your permenat record DOES exist and this "free thinking" you just posted WILL go into it!
7. Smoking pot will cause males to grow breasts
8. Withces must be burned at the stake to properly kill them
9. Only 2 things come out of texas; steers and queers
10. Santa does exist, and he is watching
11. God does exist, and he is watching
12. Windows 95 with buggy video drivers is a stable system to use for web site hosting
13. Just because meat smells bad and has changed differant color does not imply that it isn't fit for consumtion
14. Rome was built in one day
When I didn't have a job (about 5-6 years ago), I would eat when I would want to eat and sleep when I wanted to sleep.
It didn't make me wise.
It made me fat and goggy.
Now I just eat at set times and sleep at set times. I am (now) 15 pounds underweight (on the height scale) and work 2 full time jobs and very active all the time.
I don't know if it made me wise. It has made me feel better both mentallity and physically.
So wisdom comes at the price of ones phyiscal health?
Sloth? Gultane?
(Just because it is spelled wrong and grammicail incorrect doesn't mean you don't understand the message)
due to the university's regulations, high doses of caffiene can't be tested on people
If you ever need a volunateer for an "after school project", give me a call. I will glady intake massive amounts of caffiene for the ahem "good of science"
Floppies are also extremely unreliable media. I haven't used it, but there should be some way to put in on hard drive. Floppies just sound like bad news.
What would be really cool is to configure it, then burn most of it to a bootable CD and use a zip drive for anything you need to save. Those newer 250 Meg zip drives could hold alot of logs if one didn't want to log to a differant systems syslog.

That is a lot to do in a short period of time.
Ok so you express you negative opinion about it, and group it together with other things, but don't really give a reason why you dislike it.
Either you are joking or truly dislike the idea of it. Could you state why you disklike the idea of it? Just wondering.

I tried
./configure
make
make install
but everytime I tried to read chapter 2 on "Little Linuz as a child" it seagment faults. Oh I am using gcc under sco unix. Any ideas?
You need help getting that hook out of your mou
th?
I don't get it. Cause he is a fish? or he is fishy?
It sounds like a flame, please explain.

I agree with your post, but have a nitpick:
asocial jerks run riot
Your are probably think of antisocail here. Antisocail is going against soceities norms. Going against "Slashdot's Soceity" would be to troll.

Maybe burn the site to CD and archive it in the library in his hometown?
Maybe they should have a hit counter and statics on the toilet, like:
Your are the: 423,153,957,287 person to use this toilet since 1997.
This toliet has been cleaned: 4 times since 1997.
The average usage last is for: 17 seconds.
9.7% wash their hands when though.
Sign this toliets guest book!
And from the looks of it, it is the schools server and Linuz probably won't have much of a say what they run.
Yea you make a good point. But you have to consider; how would the medical field pull out higher profit marges for "helping" people?

When I didn't have a job (about 5-6 years ago), I would eat when I would want to eat and sleep when I wanted to sleep.
