At this moment in time. I actually regret removing my windows partition. I can honestly say that Linux crashes more than even Win 98. I am seriously considering Win 2000.
On my system, when the UI crashes about the only thing left going is the mouse. It takes my keyboard with it. Strange. My sound crashes a lot too. Takes everything with it. I must just have bad luck though.
The hell with the GUI, I want an OOUI.
One problem that I've noticed with the graphical environment in Linux is that it crashes a lot and there isn't a way to restart it. A whole lot of good it does if you programs are still running but you can't see them. That's my only beef.
"Well, we try to avoid posting stories about Slashdot"
No you don't! You just did and you've done t numerous times in the. That first lines shows that you know the slashdot community hates you for but your trying to cover your ass before you post it anyways. tsk tsk.
I hear that. I blame it mostly on the yuppies in Seattle. The ones who cry save the tree's but have probably have never seen a tree.
Remember when Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines blew half of the mountain skyward and pumped more garbage into the air than the entire human race has ever done. And I ask, what effect did that have? nill!!! It lowered temps a bit, but had no real dramatic effect. I've been told that bits of the mountain are still floating around. That's cool.
This high tech snow plow has been roaming the roads since last winter. Wow. Why is it recently every news story that has been posted has been old news. I've heard about it at least in one other spot ages ago.
Holy crap, I must be the only one on this planet who can crash my Linux Desktop OS more than my W2K.
I'm sure there are people out there who would agree with me in saying the desktop environments for Linux are buggier than you-know-what. I crash my system regularly. I crashes when it loads, it crashes when the screen saver loads, sometimes it crashes when i'm typing. And it crashes good. It takes everything down with it. I've tried various kernels, 2.2.15 -.16 -.17 2.4.0, yadda yadda, It still does it. I thought the linux OS was so great and that one bug shouldn't mash the whole system? On my W2K machine, sure things crap out on it from time to time. Mostly driver issues. But I can always Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill the app that isn't playing by the rules. The Kill-App on my Linux machine rarely works. Don't get me started on the patch issue. linux has just as many, if not more, kernel patches available than any windows system. I had to use three patches before 2.4.0 would even work on my machine. The only application that has ever functioned as it should on my machine was Star-Office (Thanks Sun).
As far as a usuable OS is concerned, MS has Linux whooped hands down. The MS GUI is far more stable than any Linux GUI. Not to mention API, development, etc. Far easier on the windows platform. Linux has a LONG way to go, to ever compete on the same scale as MS.
Oh come on, how sick is this? If you can't have the real thing, let's make virtual kiddie porn???
Real or fake, child pornography should looked down upon, whether virtual images are legal or not.
This isn't a question of free speech, but a question of morality.
DAMNIT!!! WHAT IS IT!!!

What is 'IT'?

· Score: 1
I can't stand this! I have to know what it is! Is this driving anyone else totally insane? Normally I can just research what IT is through Google, or even Everything2 for that matter. But now, IT, is driving me crazy and I don't even know what IT is. DAMN!
This is the kind of stuff people studying for their PhD's write their thesis on. It is very involved. But, in the simplest of ways to describe it, I would say, because that's the way it is, and has been.
IMHO ALL photographs are works of art, even the ones at www.megapussy.com
IMHO ALL sex stories are Literature
You have a point, but it isn't your opinion that matters. Sorry. It is the opinion of the masses that matters, and it is there opinion that material at megapussy.com is not art.
Read the article posted just a little bit ago by michael, and now read this one... Now I assume he has no bias (although, I assume he does in some way) to the articles that he choosed to post. Look at the total flip flop of the themes. Previous article, theme, 'damn you government.' This article, theme, 'government, come here, cuddle me now.'
What is dumb, is that the law is being applied to situations it need not be applied to. Unless you need to view pornographic material to research federal indecency laws, the law does not apply.
I don't think some people, especially those professors understand what the law is really for.
Let us start with this, Sexually explicit is defined as any depiction or description of ``sexual excitement,'' ``sexual conduct,'' or ``a lewd exhibition of nudity.''.
This means, porn, porn, and porn. NOT works of art, literature, poetry, documentation, et cetera. We are talking about pornographic material.
If you actually take this law as it was meant to be used, and not as the professors think it is supposed to be used, you would see that it would not stop you from researching lifestyles of gay and lesbians, sexuality in modern art, or writing a thesis on indecency laws. You shouldn't need to view 'sexually explict' material, as defined above, in order to do research on such topics.
The place this law might come into play is if you were compiling lists of pornographic sites, or accessing pornographic material to help curb child pornography, or the likes of. These are obvious uses for the law. This law is to prevent Joe/Jane Schmoe from downloading his/her favorite porno at work without permission.
These professors, and others, are taking the law out of context and applying it to situations it need not be applied to. Plain and simple.
To start with the disclaimer, IANAOM (you figure it out)
To shoot down one misconcept, you do not travel to mars in a stright line. To do so would be deadly. I'll explain later.
To get to any orbiting satelite is not a matter of accelerating towards, and them hitting the brakes to stop there. But a matter of matching orbital velocities. When you take off from earths orbit you want to accelerate out towards Mars and get there with your speed being identicle to Mars. If you took a straight line to mars and then waited for it show up... well, it would be pretty.
I wish I had a picture to show this, but I don't. If you looked at a top down picture. The space craft would travel in a curved line so to speak. The trick it to end up traveling the same speed as mars with the same vectors. Then a quick blast would slow you down and drop you out of orbit.
I'm not sure on the math but I know the distance travelled is greater than the line of site distance between the two planets and that the whole trip to mars can be done under acceleration (if you want to get there slowly)
That's about all I know. And I may be wrong. If I am, you have my permission to bitch slap.
It wasn't even that funny, kinda dumb at that. I have a distaste for stupid humor. You know Hemos was hoping people wouldn't see the humor guise and would actually believe. Fuck test???
How does such a pathetic story even make it to the main page? Anime hard suits??? Who gives a rats ass. I'm sure most sane individuals would rather here about the odds of getting hit by a deorbiting satelite... which, btw, was rejected.
Well, I meant to be first post. This slashdot submission form is too complicated. I know you'll all do a recount and get my post as first. If not i'll sue slashdot to have submissions done over so I can get my post in first.
"closure with a President with the qualifications of a head of lettuce is still closure"
==============
I've asked numerous democrats to try to explain their rational on this one, but NOT ONE could explain why they thought George W. Bush was doorknob! They just 'well because'.
Taco, I wish I could even give you credit of having lettuce up there, but I think that right is being set aside for someone a little smarter than you.
What a dork he can be.

Do the 2.4.x kernels have built-in VPN masq support. I hate having to patch my older kernels to get it to route VPN properly,

I don't know what to think.
What is dumb, is that the law is being applied to situations it need not be applied to. Unless you need to view pornographic material to research federal indecency laws, the law does not apply.
Simple question, simple answer.
Because it is not socially accepted.
Heaven forbid that the government of Virginia should be allowed to decide what the computers they pay for are used to do.
Be careful with your wording, as it is not the government of Virginia paying for the computers, but rather Virginians.
However, I do agree with you in part.
I don't think some people, especially those professors understand what the law is really for.
