Read that, and tell me she's a competant reviewer in any way. She circumvents the entire package system then complains when things break, and doesn't read the readme that comes with the installation for flash.
The big kicker comes in when she declares samba "broken," due to her installing it on a vmware VM that had sharing turned on, which is a known VMWARE issue (not a fedora, or linux issue at all).
She also complains about sound stuttering/etc, when again, she's on a VM.
Just read through that review, and tell me there's a single REAL bit of fedora review in there.

Yahoo support is currently down. A fix is currently being created and will be updated ASAP.
and then
September 28, 2003
The Yahoo service is Easy Message is now back online. Easy Message was updated today to version 2.3.640 supporting Yahoo Messenger's new password authentication process.
The new process includes multiple layers of hashing, (not necessarily more secure), including MD5, HMAC-SHA1, and some of what looks like Yahoo's own encoding.
so it looks like they had the same problem as everyone else.

I meant to look for another site running the scoop software, and gave a link to the scoop software since the site also has links to other scoop-run sites, not to post/read the actual scoop site:)
This thing has the best IMAP support for windows of any mail client.
-no "phantom" messages like OE (my previous favourite) gets -ssl support -automagic configuration of namespaces (something most imap clients don't do even though it's in the RFC) -conditional subfolder checking for "new" in case you have server side filtering -"delete", "mark deleted", and "move to trash" support, instead of the simple "mark deleted" most imap clients have -50% more pie
the ONE thing that made me get my shuttle over many of the other brands was the nforce2. this gives me: -amd chip (not a p4 board) -onboard networking -onboard dolby digital 5.1 sound (best sound i've heard, actually) -onboard gf4mx, so I'm playing games on it without upgrading vga card yet -agp slot so i can upgrade video later
-video out quality isn't as good (nvidia's video out sucks, ati's is good but not as good as xbox) -it's louder -it's bigger -it doesn't fit in with your other home entertainment stuff -no optical digital output -no rgb output -slower boot time
If you want to spend 5-600$ or so for a loaded shuttle XPC (i got the nforce one) and another 100$ for a scan converter with component output, another 100$ for swank logitech wireless keyboard and optical mouse, then you'll have something worth comparing. This is almost exactly what I have, and it's nice. My only main complaint is the noise of the fan, but I have it hidden under my home entertainment system.
But saying a cheap system will do the same is naive.
The facts in your bleemcast argument isn't correct in any way, form, or manner.
-Bleemcast in it's original form (emulate all/100/50 psx games) NEVER CAME OUT -a total of 3 bleemcasts came out, each doing A SINGLE GAME. That means to play the game, you had to pay 15$ for the bleemcast, plus 25-50$ for the game (depending on which one) -EVERY bleemcast disc that was released sold out almost instantly. They couldn't keep them in the stores! -By the time bleemcast came out, PS2 was already out. PSX people had already bought a PS2, and possibly skipped the dreamcast altogether. The GT2 bleemcast was out only a month before GT3 for the PS2!!!! -bleemcast died due to sony's lawsuits in the end
This is ONLY true if your system boneheadedly sets up the/usr/lib kernel header classes as symlinks into/usr/src/linux rather than copying them. Gentoo and LFS aren't like that, I'm not sure which linux distro's still do this.
"2) Oil is not universally cheap. I pay 4-5x more for petrol than you do. I think Europe has a similar high price for oil."
Gas/petrol prices have ALMOST NOTHING to do with the price of oil. Most of the money you pay goes to taxes, not to the oil itself. Gas prices are higher in europe due to this. It's also why they're high in california.
Prices are raised when oil seems like it might become limited, but that's due to gas stations wanting to make money, not the price to make the gasoline going up by as much as the price does.
I do not have an ISP, but I run my own mail server which me and 10ish friends use, with about 6 domains hosted on it.
> 70% of the email that comes into the box is spam. About 1/3 of this is blocked simply by running courier mail server, which is so standards compliant as to make the rfc writers shiver, and much spam is malformed.
All of us are smart about giving out email addresses to sites/etc, and we even have our own spamex-ish way of doing it (give a site username-sitename@domain.com, and block that alias if it starts getting spam).
I run spamassassin, which tags about 95% of it (with almost no false positives), but that doesn't stop all of it, and you have to still check the "spam" box daily/weekly if you want to avoid false positives.
I don't know how they do it, but he flashed his bios, and it was fucking magic.
He ran an exe that said "reboot now, ready to flash". He reboots, and right when it posts, it brings up a screen that says "you sure you want to flash?" Then it flashes, and goes on to loading windows.
This type of tech is what's needed!
My current mobo (nforce) can be flashed from windows, and I haven't had a problem doing it.
The number one advantage I can see for this in the environment I work in is automated builds.
We have big linux servers that do all of our java compiling nightly (and auto-runs junit tests/etc), but you can't do that for your windows dll's without a seperate box. Now that need is gone.
It's the same as the GPL. If you write a gpl'd library/app, you are saying that no one can link a non gpl-compatable app to it. If you think this api isn't/shoudnl't be enforcable, then neither should the gpl be.
If someone eggs my house, I can't shoot out their tires to keep them from coming back. I report them to the police, and it's taken care of from there.
OR, if I'm in a gated neighborhood, they install a guard, and only allow residents and invited guests in.
Either you contact authorities, or you get your ISP to block the traffic (and if your ISP won't, it's time for a new one). Vigilante justice never works out in the long run.
The last time I upgraded my RAM for a console is when Turok2 came out for the N64, and I bought the 4mb ram upgrade kit, which, if I'm not mistaken (and I very well may be), was rambus ram.

Bittorrent was not designed as a way to anonymously get files, or to trick the RIAA, or anything like that.
It was designed as a way for people to distribute large files without paying gobs for bandwidth.
Guinness is supposed to be drunk however the fuck you enjoy it most.
If you like it boiling, while you're juggling knives, and with three shots of ammonia added, then that's the proper way for YOU to drink guiness.

About that cheap dell:

Quick, someone make an RFC for ethernet over wireless electricity!

Some of us appreciate completely dry humor, and some of us don't.
It doesn't need a laugh track and a sign saying "hey, this parts funny" for me to laugh at it and realize it's humour.

They make money off of the games.
They lose money on the console.
If you buy an x-box and run linux (for emulators/surfing the web/whatever), but don't buy 2-3 games, they lose money.
Now can you see why they woudln't want this?
My roommate just brought a brand new dell.
I don't know how they do it, but he flashed his bios, and it was fucking magic.
He ran an exe that said "reboot now, ready to flash". He reboots, and right when it posts, it brings up a screen that says "you sure you want to flash?" Then it flashes, and goes on to loading windows.
