How many 75 year old senior citizens do you know that run a webserver?
It's like bitching about car makers because the government has imposed speed restrictions.
And let's blame the person who created the hack! Because that'll be really productive. We'll all vent our venom at an anonymous person, and not fix the problem. Cool!
Help users? How do we get in contact with someone using just their IP? You could make thousands with a technical innovation like that... Sell me the rights, please.
(1) Windows 2000 requires minimum of 256MB. BULLSHIT. It runs *fast* under 128MB and a shitty processor for me.
(2) RedHat Linux 7.1 is stable and when an application crashes it doesn't bring down the whole system. BULLSHIT. Default instal used to crash all the time for me, until I cleaned it up
(3) Delete Keys and Enter keys don't work properly under Linux. SURE. If you don't set your keyboard up properly.
Perhaps legislation should be introduced to stop desktops being shipped with anything faster than 1Ghz for a year... that way we force (in theory) companys to write compact and fast software... Intel is just playing to M$'s inability to write tight code.

Seems to be a lot of debate about the relative merits of Harry Potter here. Which I don't think's the point at all. While I violently disagree with the person who said they aren't in the same league as Narnia and so on ("it's new, so it can't be as good as old stuff, right?" -- you sound like my parents), the issue here is should it have won what is essentially a Science Fiction prize?
Fiction it is, but I see little science... Then again, I know little about the Hugo awards anyway...
How hard would it be to build one of these one's self? Aren't they simply taking a server and cramming it into a case, and charging three-times too much for it?
I'm sure a reader here could come up with a home-spun solution at a quater of the cost.:)
This article seems to focus a little too much on the bundled software with a distribution.
While this may be a little useful for some, things like kernel version included aren't that useful - anyone can go and download the newest version. It would have been better focused around the types of package installations, and system scripts and tools IMHO.

Aren't MS going to be specifically trying to avoid any behvaiour that lets them look like they're forcing AOL into a wall? Do they not have enough legal trouble already?
I find this not to be a problem, and I'm only 17. The trick is to be right, and to always be right. If people aren't taking you seriously, then talk to them about it.
As long as you're right, then anyone who ignores you is wrong, and, if they're wrong, their managers will get upset at them.
On a final note, anyone making comments like "Go Play with Your GI JOES" will probably get frustrated when their box is rooted, and all they know of it is that when they type 'pico', 'vi/emacs' gets run instead...:)
Surely the best solution is to put stuff up on a pseudo-hax0red box... A box that is owned by a friend, who claims to have no knowledge, and for the uploading to look like a hax0r attack. Therefore, no one can get charged - especially if the 'hax0r' and friend collaborated to have a box that kept no logs...
So, do we think the driver will be open source or not? Would it be an advantage for the matrox team if it was as they'd get help improving it, or would they be giving out too much information about their hardware?
Couldn't this been seen as libel in a way? I mean, the company misrepresented her. Surely then, she can claim a week's worth of wages, plus damages... Ideas?

The spate of conspiracy theories linking some aspect of WinXP to the number 666 or an obscure Nostradamus prediction...
Wow. What a silly comment.

Please, engage brain before fingers.

Couldn't you slip some kind of brace around a laptop, give it a network card, and *still* save money?

This sounds like it could be fairly easy to abuse. Hack a client together that tells people your competitors sites are broken... bingo.

Offer them a desk made out of lego and a caffeine IV drip. And an expense account at ThinkGeek.

But anyway....
IF the answers are so hard, how will they know when the right one has been picked? Catch 22. The answer is 8. Prove me wrong. mwahahaha
