  4. Preaching to the Choir on DeCSS Injunction Ruling · · Score: 1

    Folks, we're preaching to the choir here. We need to be getting the word out, not kvetching about the judges stupidity on /., let's learn a few lessons from the 60's. We need to organize peaceful protests outside the courthouse, distribute leaflets, and snailmailbomb every civil rights/free speech organization in the U.S. If we can get in to the U.S. media about this, we have won half the war, because they don't worry about us, it's the mass public who they are worrying about, they are currently winning the only war that counts, the war of public opinion, well, the public thinks we are a bunch of teenage "hacker's" out to "Hack the Planet", if we can't change this, we're screwed, because if public opinion says one thing, the politicians will not violate that, unless they've got a damn good incentive(corporate donations anyone?).

  5. Re:Beowulf!!!!!! on Dell to sell laptops with Linux preinstalled · · Score: 2

    Lucent has released a binary only LTWinmodem module for x86 RH6.1 kernels(it appears to be RH specific last I heard, only tested/working with stock RH kernels) and PCTel is shipping a LinModem, ie: a variant of their HSP PCI winmodem chip with linux drivers to manufacturers only. go to http://www.linmodems.org for more info.

  6. Don't forget Weber on Sci Fi Literature 101? · · Score: 1

    David Weber's Honor Harrington series is good for the 13yg crowd, It's Horatio Hornblower in space, with a Female protagonist. Elizabeth Moon's stuff is great too. Keith Laumer is good, but scan it first, some stuff is pretty far out there. Some mike resnick anthologies, and the first 3 Callahan's novels by Spider Robinson (last 2 get a little mature)
