Microsoft knows that all their stuff is pirated left and right. People know that Microsoft stuff is pirated left and right. But Micorosft and the people don't care, it is just a publicity stunt in the part of Microsoft. I seriously don't know why and secondly don't know why they would do it THERE where they did it, maybe because they DIDN'T expect a large turnout? Hmm...
Maybe everyone should just chill out and drink some hot cocoa and accept the fact that Micorsoft stuff is pirated all the time and that there are people out there that owe Microsoft like $6,000+ on software they own but have never paid for (why, not ME, of course;^) and Microsoft could really care less.
Ahh its time for the man who's been using Slackware since 3.1 just came out to step up.
First of all, no, there are no 5.0 or 6.0 versions, once I saw them go above 5.0, I knew they were trying to play catch-up, but after all, if they had gone the way of Red Hat or SuSE or [Distributor here] then they would be by, oh, 12.0, or 13.0 by now? Because they only upped their numbers by.1, not by.5, which makes a big difference.
Next, a lot of people have many misconceptions about Slackware (and Linux, too) and what it's like and what it's all about. But, what can you do? The Red Hat and Mandrake scene is for those who just don't want to try hard enough to get something kick-ass and working on their own. However, things have changed now. It is much easier to install Slackware and get it up and running than it was with earlier versions. I really like the way things are going with this new 7.0 version.
They have more than DOUBLED the size of Slackware! They added a WHOLE lot of stuff, not to mention BETTER stuff. This includes but is not limited to Gnome with all the GTK stuff, as well newer and better versions of the Linux kernel, XFree86, and KDE. They are doing really good to keep up with the new stuff now, and it was about time.
Packaging system? Hah! I have something to say here. As soon as I got Slackware 6.3.0 beta on my hard drive, I tried to install a bunch of RPM packages, and all of them worked! From the smallest tiny utilities to even the RealPlayer G2 alpha, everything I have tried has gone smooth and flawlessly (I had to make some mods, like download the RPM packages of RPM, BZIP2, and GnoRPM as well as make a link to ncurses 5 as ncurses 4, etc...)
I also like the kernel coming with all (or most at least) modules compiled, so that its easy to just go from there. This new Slackware is glorious, and it marks a real change in Slackware as a whole. It sais "WE ARE STILL THE BEST!!!"
I am going to write a lot more about Slackware for linuxnewbie.com soon, including a Slackware 7.0 review, a comparison of exising Linux distros, and I'm also going to have a list of RPMs which work under Slackware (with enough work, we'll get every RPM to work under Slackware perfectly).
I plan to sound a little smarter than my usually crude, dumb, and useless commentary on this one. Where can I see this in the USA with normal cable provider, if at all? I really wanna see it!

I hacked my school once through the internal network and downloaded four large files with all of the information of every student. I had schedules, grades, and all the little personal information in the world one could ever want. Of course, it is a lot easyer to get this info now that I am an aide in the guidance office and I get to look at any personal information with permission because I can be "trusted" now. Of course, its not easy to hack into these files anymore, since one of my classmates reported me last year and they changed the password to, I belive, "n0m0r3h4ck13pl33z3!" instead of "password".
Maybe they should license the 64-bit code in Alpha's from DEC as well? Hmm... Sounds pretty nifty, 64-bit Alpha code in an x86 cpu with a fast-ass (they should be up to like, what, 300mhz?) bus? ooh!
Well, I first of all don't think that Sega would be stupid enough to insert such an obvous backdoor, I am sure that they must have had expectations that SOMEONE would evetually check to see what was behind the internet connection of the dreamcast. On the other hand, if it IS a backdoor, that is some scary stuff, but maybe it is just to get consumer information like which games are most popular, etc? If it is, good move, right?
ok well if you are all not totally joking about ie sending your password file to M$ then, you are all very stupid and childish and/or very paranoid. chill out, M$ doesn't care about your password file! it's not like they want to go in and kill your Linux computer... you are all just making M$ seem worse than they are by making stupid comments (note: not an M$ supporter)
ok... 1) it is gunna be ELF like netscape, obviously... it will have everything... they won't ask you to compile ANYTHING because they aren't gunna give ya the SOURCE... thats M$ here buddy... 2) about the driver in the kernel? i would be suprised if they did ask people do put something in the kernel... that is doubtful...
I would be one of the first to install IE in my Linux machine. I used to be one of those IE-trashing, netscape-touting freaks but then Netscape got sloppy and IE displays web sites much cleaner than Netscape... Sorry, but I would want IE in ALL distros of Linux (i'm sure then install program will probably install completely into/msie or someting.. hehe)... as far as having ANYTHING to do with the OS... no, not really... it runs on Solaris and Mac without OS interference, it is only deeply submerged in WINDOWS' internals.

Slackware v4.0 which is in Beta 2 stage right now already has 2.2.6 built in. As well as a few more packages, a hella loada new stuff and many fixes. It will ship when it is ready. They are currently working on a GLIBC 2.1 release but who knows when that will happen.
The surprising thing is not the fact that Anonymous Coward is such an asshole, it's that ZDNet has such a brand new shiny HARD-ON for what Slashdot user's have to say.

Linux is becoming massively large with every major kernel release. So far, it is a notable fact that the kernel has doubled (and maybe even more) with every major kernel release. If kernel v2.2 is about 12MB with BZIP2 now, kernel 2.4 (or 3.0, depending on which way they decide to go) will be TWICE that! We are talking about a 24MB Linux kernel! That is a large and cumbersome kernel. If the kernel size keeps doubling, the kernel following that may just be 48MB! If you think about it, those are VERY large kernels, indeed, and no modem user would take the time to download them.
So what is wrong with this? Well, I think that if the kernel could be desinged in a different way, the size would decrease much more. What has to be done is something that nobody has even probably thought about yet: the kernel tree has to be divided into different compressed files, instead of one large file. A good proposal is to begin my dividing the kernel core by architecture. This way, if we want a kernel just for the i386, or just for the PPC, it can be quickly downloaded by itself and not with all the other architectures. This would make it easyer to have the kernel just the way you want it. Then the other core components of the kernel ( but the ones that do not need to change in architecture) can reside in another compressed file. Also, the documentation of the kernel could be a different package as well.
Following this, the kernel modules can be put into a different compression tree as well. The reason that the kernel is so much bigger every release is the fact that there are so many new drivers and modules that it just takes up too much space. To save more time and space, and to be better organized, the kernel modules could be put into separate packages as sound, filesystem, misc, and all others in their own separate packages. This would not only make it easyer to download the kernel modules but I think that programmers would benefit from making live updates to separate modules and even core components of the kernel as they wish, and uploading separately from the rest of the kernel components. If you really think about it, this process of what I call "kernelites":) would also improve the speed at which new kernels are available and at which new drivers/modules are available.
These are, of course, just simple concepts. I am just throwing in what seem to be good ideas to me. The kernel team (mainly Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox) should look at this seriously and give it some thought, however. But they could always just design the kernel tree in their own way, hopefully to save time and space.

You will want a big Sun case that hold noise in. I know someone who got a Sun case that was being thrown away. What you are looking for is in the style of a little refridgerator. They are cases that look like mid-towers but they are fatter and they have a door-like thing on the side. For a fan you'll want to run a tube offa the car's A/C system into a hole on the side of the case. Just put a lot of electric and duct tape on there.
