Britney Spears Ft. Madonna - Me Against The Music (Gabriel And Dresden Mix)
Excellent track.
I had stopped buying/listening to new music until I got into electronica through shoutcast (mainly trance and progressive house) and binary newsgroups (if something bizarre gets recorded, it will eventually show up on usenet).
I run really buggy alpha programs on linux all the time and the system doesn't crash. The worst that has happened is XFree crashing but it only takes a few seconds to load up again compared to the reboot time for windows.
There should be no reason for a program like aim to make your system reboot from buggy dlls. Btw, replacing the BSOD with just rebooting the computer doesn't fix the problem.
True. The reason everyone uses computers is because of how cheap pc + dos + windows was. Microsoft was the only company that actually cared about selling to the general population as opposed to large institutions (UNIX vendors) or people lots of money to throw away (Apple).
They only became a monopoly because nobody really cared about the home computer market... until Microsoft was making lots of money.
Of course for the past 10 years or so they have held computing back but governments are supposed to control monopolies because a corporation won't try to stop making money for no reason.
Even if BSDs init scripts and other base stuff is super terrific now, it won't be in 10, 20 or 100 years. Eventually one of the OSs will make changes that are incompatible with the others.
From that interview, it sounds like DragonFly is going to have a different package management system in the future. Which means either the base is going to change, you will stop calling it bsd or you will say ports isn't a basic part of bsd
I find copying/pasting with mozilla to be kind of messed up compared to other applications. Most other applications work correctly. Pretty much anything involving two applications talking to each other tends to feel less nice than with windows. Hopefully the kde and gnome people will some day use a common system for that. Something the other x applications can also use easily.
I've used computers for about 10 years, since I was 10. I've learned that using common sense is the best way to run into problem because a lot of things just don't make any sense.
For example, the backspace and delete keys work differently on every unix system. Sometimes the behavior of openssh/putty/other ssh clients vary on the same machine.
Now, no matter how much common sense you have, when you run into this problem for the first time it's impossible to tell that your keyboard generates certain codes and the machine you're connected to is expecting ^H ^? or some strange escape sequence.
I've been running into these problems that make no sense since i was using dos and win 3.1 and I imagine most users have and some just can't handle it and panic.
I agree that gentoo/slackware would be a bit extreme, but users need to know a little bit of how their system works. Otherwise, they end up with a box full of virii, spyware, adware, programs that load at start up (slowing everything down and taking up memory unnecessarily), etc.
To use anything, you need to have some idea of how it works. Computers shouldn't be an exception.
The porn industry is bigger in the States and they invented the Internet to make porn more accessible to the people. The whole Cold War/national defense thing was just a cover.
Freeware isn't popular with linux because of free software which gives you even more for free. On other systems, like windows, programs like winamp, kazaa and msn messenger are very popular.
What about a course teaching system administration for unix systems? You would probably want the students to have root access and at the same time stop them from making permanent changes to the system.
How about screen. Or menus for your window manager being created on the fly using a script (I have a neat one that lists all the running processes, and lets me do things to each of those processes). Or tabbed windows in the window manager.
Expose wasn't totally original by the way, nothing is.
Well, you could talk about someone who makes 110% more money than someone else for example... of course you wouldn't use a pie chart to represent that data.
I'm pretty sure they know this... maybe they make more money charging $500 to those who can and let the others pirate the software instead of charging everyone $50.
Chances are, they're using the pricing scheme that makes the most money for them.
Maybe they made three separate movies to make more money! I'm sure everyone would've loved to stay in the theatre for 12+ hours and experience the whole story with nothing uncut.
Really, the reason why you have extended dvd releases is because they had to make the movie shorter, otherwise, people like me wouldn't have gone to watch it.
It's too big for a phone, too expensive to compete with the gba, the memory card system is way more complicated than that of an mp3 player... you can't really compare it with anything else because most devices do at least one thing well, this one sucks at everything.

The point of April Fool's is to... fool people. Not to act foolish.
The tool may be fake, but the silly language requirements aren't.
I just laugh at them.
Should i tell people to stop using USB devices because MSDOS doesn't support them since MS abandoned it?
Or how movies shouldn't be released on DVD since they don't work with Betamax players.
Seriously, move onto Safari or Camino or whatever Mac people use to load html pages.

A UML diagram is the blueprint, code is more like a recipe that tells the interpreter/compiler what to do.
Blueprints don't contain step-by-step instructions on making a house.

Does he actually claim to be God? He always calls himself "the son of god", the idea that he was god probably came later from someone in the church.

In that case, why didn't you wait for the boxed set of LOTR? It is a trilogy after all.

They're also using Memory Stick, which is a lame prioprietary format that only Sony uses and is much more expensive than the other flash cards.
