If you've got a secure connection, who gives a crap? My school runs a mail server running debian, and they've signed their own cert. We don't give a crap that verisign hasn't signed it. All we care is that it _is_ secure. We'll probably get around to changing the date soon. ---
Sure there is. you can have a 2" disc that also has videos and such on it, and crap.
besides, Taco is a tool, he keeps forgetting that 99% of the population can't get broadband yet, and 80% won't be able to for 5 years at least. ---
In this forum, nobody is responsible for anything he posts, and everybody wants to be on a big or small thread, a reality helped along by scheming trolls, unscrupulous/. moderators and a linux-numbed readership.

The individual in question, although Canadian, and proposing a service in yet another country, is not shielded by American law. Should he be sued in American courts, any decisions made will be binding. Should he be found guilty on anything and not pay up, he could face extradition at the worst, and at the least, if he were to set foot on American soil, could be arrested. If the folks in Sealand don't get paid, then guess who's SOL. ---
As mentioned, your employer has authority over what is done with their intellectual property - which includes anything you come up with while on company time If you've released this software - sent it out, published it, whatever, then you could be held liable for "damages" incurred by you releasing company IP. The best thing you could do for yourself at this point is say "ok" and "release" the software under a new license. You ARE allowed to do this, as being the so-called copyright holder. Let me say this one more time: You do not own the copyright on the source, your employer does. If you want to hold the copyright on some software, write it on your own time. ---
Ahhhh. Now I understand what you mean.
If it used them, I don't know. I do know that it said here: you can use the banshee driver, or the VESA driver. I clicked banshee, and it asked me what resolution and refresh rate I wanted, and then did a test, a-la win98's "Your screen will be restored in 15 seconds..."
I want to see X do that stuff... /me goes off to hack away at his refresh rate setting for 640x480... no point watching DVDs in 400x300! ---
One of the marks of a mature OS.
I'm glad to hear that a major linux distro has it... Corel did a good job on my P75, but it's all stock hardware.
What REALLY impressed me was the QNX demo. It installed on my system, automatically loaded drivers for my mouse, cdroms, etc, then it automatically set up their mini-X on my Voodoo 3 at 1024x768 (NO MODELINES!!! Woohoo!) and what REALLY knocked my socks off - It even set up my printer, I was able to print Sluggy Freelance on my Epson Colour 740 by simply hitting the print button! All this in 15 minutes!
Anyway, automatic hardware detection will rawk. I've got about 15 different computers a month that get debian installed on them. (Or re-installed, due to hardware failures, etc.)
I think that the Debian guys deserve a big slashdot hug. ---
You certainly are touchy, arn't you?
First, I did follow the link. Successful test of a superconducting ATM prototype switch
This is not production. We are not using them.
Since you seem to be so smart, why don't you explain to my why this is? ---
Encryption gives a sense of security. I know that if I was logged into a shell securely, (regardless of how broken it was) I would be much more likely to type in sensitive information than if I was using plaintext. If someone is listening to passing data with the intention of stealing valuable information, they will have the proper tools if they are serious about it. ---
Quite - I started buying hardware when "multi-io" was still 1 port/board and was an addon. Even so, I don't forsee any fabs being put onto computer motherboards in the next few years. ---
I couldn't feed my computer a block of styrene and have it make me a bust of Linus... MP3s were playble on any computer with sufficent CPU cycles and a sound card. Fabbing requires the extra equipment, storage of raw materials, disposal of waste... etc. ---
I remember reading his 'The trial', and getting to the very end, and discovering that he requested all unfinished pieces of work be destroyed upon his death. 'The Trial' is an unfinished work. Boy did I feel dirty. ---
I am aware that CDs and DVDs have very little mass compared with the rest of the station, but what effect would these discs have on the station when they start and stop spinning? Could the usage of discs onboard the station require thrusters to compensate for them? ---
Definately don't read much.
They still havn't figured out how they secured the cables to the bridge.
Sorry, I didn't realize that re-assembling hoses and wires to their designated space took an engineering degree. I'll have to ask my speedy muffler attendant which ESS he belongs to. ---

This may seem a little bit nitpicky, but if the software is written correctly, but fails due to the OS, isn't the fault with the os?
---
A dongle that provides an encrypted key.
poof.
make it a USB passthru device.

Upon entering the site, without a warning I might add, I was greated by naked women, and an offer to "Cum inside Latin virgins"
Oh, did I mention that this dosn't attempt to disuade minors from entering?

Stop buying soup from the store then.

No... it actually found the driver for my card. No VESA involved.

That's interesting. I'll probably look into it further, but I do have one question: Why don't we use them then?
---
Seeing as microprocessors are based on semi-conductors, which are always going to be resistant, it's just not going to happen.
---
boxen? You mean boxes?
boxen has a diffrent meaning;
Boxen Box"en (bo^ks"'n), a.
Made of boxwood; pertaining to, or resembling, the box
. (Buxus). R.
The faded hue of sapless boxen leaves. --Dryden.

hemisphere is half of the globe. Half of a half = 1/4
so it's a slight exaggeration. I do mean slight.
