Actually, in my LUG we've given the newbies an eval copy of VMware, and a pre-installed linux image... let's them play for a month before they have to think about installing.
It is estimated by PC Data that Corel's Linux division sells about 25 percent of all Linux operating systems for desktop computers, second only to Red Hat .
You just have to laugh out loud when you read something like this. A company that has so much scrutiny focused on it for underhanded tactics - is using some of the most fraudulent tactics known to man.
The worst part - and not so laughable - I'd bet better than even money that in the end the US government will let them get away with everything... but that's just me being cynical, right?
Seriously, I'd love to be doing game design/programming for a living...
SDL is one of the better things to happen for the open source community though - I just wonder how many commercial gaming companies will pick it up and run with it - making all the Linux gamers happy.
The same could be said for ext2, really... but the idea is that after an "unclean" shutdown you don't have to wait as long for a disk check... at least that's what I look to either reiserFS or EXT3 for... When you start looking at really large disk arrays - ext2 fsck takes a helluva long time.
Yes, backups and a UPS are alway necesary for mission critical stuff... but this adds another layer of 'help'.
a) Your clock is off.
b) Their clock is off.
c) It's an honest mistake.
d) It's a conspriracy involving time travel - since you've discovered it you may be marked for elimination.
Really, I'd rather not have to pay to see any web site, so I take ads as a necessary evil... kinda like I watch 40 minute buffy episodes with 20 minutes of commercials, thus paying for the show.
Ads on the 'net do have to mature... and stop being so stupid (pop up/under/anything for example) -- I close those windows before they even have a chance to load their content...
Elitism isn't a very attractive feature in anyone... but then it's not Rob's fault, really.
He is what the/. community has made him into. He's basically his own boss, who's got a shitload of cash at a very early age, and reality can't touch him - so he's free to poke fun at whatever he pleases.
Slashdot Mirror
They rock. They're cheap. They do dynamic DNS, a store and forward MX...
I haven't found a better service.
...until Dec 17th has given me plenty of time to work on my open source project...
I got your biography for a birthday present last month - any chance I can get it autographed?
Big fan - will watch anything you're in...

This doesn't increase the speed of your existing computer... it adds another computer on-board...
Here are the Geode specs... "Speeds offered up to 266 MHz"
At least that's what I thought those end of financial quarter results were saying...
You'd be correct sir, I typo'd.
Happens all the time...
This site is all about the processor - it was made by a friend's company and he'd love to see how it does against the /. effect. ;)
...but the telco's would never want it to happen... they can't bill you (per second) for something that isn't on their network. :)
You can get it at microwarehouse...
So, yes, it is shipping now... contrary to popular belief...
It's International Peace Day and the anniversary of the start of the 1978 Camp David Peace Accord talks...
It's ironic and sad...
Poetictech has always had really cool stuff... it's not DIY... but it's very slick.

REALLY???
Me and you both. Well... I'm in Hamilton (an hour outside of Toronto)... and I'm working in Toronto... but I'd rather telecommute - anywhere.
Spying penguin (binoculars and trench coat) be more appropriate?

Really, CD's get their music ripped into MP3 format all the time... the recording companies should sue the music stores too.
The timing of keyboard strokes??? Holy crap - I've just got better things to be worrying about...
Then again, perhaps my typo rate (and requisite back spaces) have helped me all this time.
I keep finding out about these really cool events that I just can't afford to get to.
Ah to be stinking rich and reasonably idle.
