If you want to learn about Linux, why not just do LFS? I use slackware because it's a great server operating system - I like it because it doesn't have a bunch of GUI configuration tools and runs just fine without a monitor.
One of the things I like the most is the Linux client. I doubt it comes with any Internet Explorer plugins, but just in case I run it under an ordinary account, so it can't do too much. It's a nice background client instead of those useless, slow and sometimes ugly GUIs that most clients have, and the web-based interface makes it very easy to find what you want and get a good copy. It also has send groups - I get every Essential Mix and new music regularly without having to do anything.
Check out the movies on the armadillo aerospace site - they've actually destroyed test vehicles. On the other hand, they've probably done far less damage than NASA so far...
It may be fairly cheap for SETI@Home - if you don't count the servers and bandwidth - but you make it sound as if one person had done all the work and was only getting 500$ for it.
Actually, with KDE you can remove Konqueror without much effect. Konqueror itself is just a program that can display various things, such as directories and a KHTML object - KHTML is the actual HTML rendering component and Konqueror is just a program that uses it, the same way that Galeon uses the Mozilla HTML engine. If you were to remove KHTML, you would lose more functionality but overall there's not too much that depends on it.
It's obvious they would make the PS3, but it's still nice to have details. On the other hand, the comment about being an X-Box killer is just plain stupid - if I were paying for this I'd expect the editors to at least point out that since the PS3 will arrive a few years later than the X-Box, it would be pretty hard to NOT be far superior.
Actually,.NET isn't ALL about the internet. For example, C#, the runtime environment, proper DLL versioning (something like UNIX's library handling?) are not specifically aimed at networking, as far as I know.
Speaking of.NET, when I finally saw a real detailed description on the programming environment on Ars Technica, I was surprised at how much of it sounded familiar. For example, the DLLs might finally be managed like they are in UNIX, and the description of a new executable distribution format sounded a lot like RPMs.

Time Travel

Ok, let's say you meet someone from the future tomorrow. Which newspaper can I expect this to be announced in? Anyone care to guess why this won't convince everyone that time travel will be invented?
Yes, I tried that once but they make it extremely hard for anyone who's not using OpenNIC to contact them, so I wasn't able to get it working. I might try again someday.
I got mod points, but I also have karma to burn...
Did you ever wonder how nmap got that name for that port? No, it didn't connect and find VNC. It looked in/etc/services, saw "vnc" beside that port, and decided it was right. Run sshd on port 25 and nmap will tell you it's really a mail daemon. They could be running VNC, but then again they could be running anything else on that port. Connect and try before you assume.
Actually, when this was submitted to k5, someone posted a link to a BBC story about some people in a chat room who called police when they started to worry about someone... and saved his life.
Actually, although the overall claim is crazy, that she wants to know what happened is reasonable. I read this article yesterday, and from what I remember she wants logs of what happened to his characters, what other people said, and things like that. I think that is a very reasonable request, but Sony is denying it for privacy reasons...
Nothing subsidised will give the full value to all taxpayers. For example, everything that helps children will be an unnecessary tax for people who don't have any, to the advantage of those who do. The best we can hope for is that they all balance each other out.
the days of sneaking in some online shopping on company time, mass-emailing your pals a Flash-powered shoot-'em-up game or even downloading screensavers could be a thing of the past.
Wow, that sounds so secure! Ohter than the fact that you're not doing the work that's probably expected of you, I don't think employees in any large company can be trusted to not find themselves a virus.

I think the greater risk is that is runs some process, like brilliant digital. ps and lsof can find that, but I haven't checked.

Telnet to towel.blinkenlights.nl (no slashdotting please :) for star wars in all it's ASCII-art glory (and animated, no less!).
Burn my karma!
There's one sign that gives away a dirty keyboard: half the keys being dark grey :(

You're missing a critical fact: there is more than one computer being used for SETI@Home!

Joker is an excellent registrar. They charge 12 Euros per year, they have good service, they never spam you...

Yes, that's a brilliant idea you have there. You're not the first. Developpers generally call it "the announce mailing list".
I believe the stupid person is the one assuming you can identify the application by the prot it's running on.

I do mind. I run distributed.net on all my computers, and I want any other processor-selling program to get the hell off them.

A true security solution would require abandonning Windows entirely. Dumping outlook only stops the automation.
Myopic. Utterly myopic.
No. I believe they care about security.
