That's a damn good idea. I was wondering when someone was going to come up with something to actually defend good ideas from patent mongers instead of just complaining about it. Cheers to those involved.
"Telemarketing calls to cell phones are strictly illegal." And that is the EXACT reason why I have a cell phone and don't have a land line at all. It's so totally worth the money to not have to speak to telemarketers...Ever:)
"...at what point does a journo HAVE to reveal his sources?" IMHO, The the journalist should be held to the same rules as a psychiatrist. If they have foreknowledge of physical harm coming to someone then they should speak out. Otherwise they have the right - and the duty - to keep their mouths sealed tightly shut. Hasn't anyone heard of the "Chilling Effect"?
I'm not sure about ETBU but I'm not suprised about your unhappiness with UT Dallas. I wasn't impressed at all by UT Austin's Comp Sci program. My Comp Sci degree is from SWT in San Marcos, TX. It's a smaller school but the Comp Sci department actually taught the subject the right way. Assembly was a gateway class to the higher level courses, as was Data Structures and C. We didn't get into Human Factors, for GUI design, or Java until the senior level courses. The Linux Programming course alone was worth every late night study session.
Which bring me to my question: Why do people give small schools a bad time? I've been to UT Austin and UT San Antonio and I still prefer my experience at SWT in San Marcos over these two "better" schools.
I took a class in Linux programming while in college and we used the first edition of this great book. After reading the review here on Slashdot of the second edition it seems that it has been greatly improved in the update. I have to agree with Kurt Gray (the reviewer) that the first edition seemed a little out of date but the 2nd edition features info on GNOME and GTK+, Perl, more diagrams and screenshots, etc... And who could go wrong buying a linux book with a forward by Alan Cox?

I use Mandrake. Red Hat has been leaning towards something like this for a while now.
If they standardise the sizes that should make them easier to filter out.
When do I get my SUPERPOWERS!
All alone...
Deserted lab at night...
Flick the switch...
MAGNEBOY!

And this would help in a Window98 install...how?
You mean like the Star Wars "Trilogy", as it was called for about 20 years?

Bill and Ted do D&D. Total crap.
If by "Mutate" they mean "Get Better", then their right.
They're hoping it will have a chilling effect for other students/universities.

After more QA checking...all three links point to slashdot.org
To whom it may concern...
The link for the Everquest server emulators points to www.slashdot.org
Doh!

"...what does Hollywood know about the computer industry?"
After rewatching "Hackers" and "The Net" my answer would be, "Absolutely nothing".
I couldn't think of anything that would make me lose respect for this highly respectable author quicker.

...and that was enough reason for not watching the episode.
Here's a link to an article (that was mentioned by Slashdot a while ago) that shows how to make a clear plastic case.
