This thing looks like a nightmare to clean. Having worked at enough food places, and having pledged a frat, I can tell you that cleaning up the beverages can be a sticky messy thing. You better hope nobody every knocks your monkey on the ground.
By getting this story to slashdot, I wonder how many additional books they will find. I don't really understand what the author is saying about open source software never replacing proprietary software and becoming #1 for a particular use. What about apache, perl, and a boatload of other best in class open source software apps?
It wouldn't be all that difficult to write a signal handler that could would catch a user defined signal (you can send a signal to a process using the kill command). When the signal is caught, dump core, do something silly like dereference a zero pointer in your signal handler. Then when you reload your application in gdb, jump over the offensive line where you dereference zero and return without killing the process (most signals will eventually exit, but not yours!). There is a big problem though. How long does it take to dump core? It can sometimes take a little while. Do you have enough disk space for the core file? Other than that, it seems doable.

I have had no complaints with my Linksys BESFR41, it runs a little web server so all the configuration is done through a browser. I can close/open any port or range of ports very easily. I can use DHCP or static IP addresses on my computers. You can read about all the things it does, but I just wanted to say that I have been very pleased with this product.
They are losing all kinds of bandwidth, so here is a link to an Australian site. Let's suck that bandwith dry. --

Is UNIX An OS?
·
· Score: 1
I think that the following statements were particularly annoying.
Unix is no longer an operating system. An operating system is the software that comes with a computer (or OS distribution) that programmers and users need to make themselves productive.
I don't need a web browser to make myself productive, quite the opposite actually.
The OS is all the stuff that companies like Sun or Apple add to make a computer usable.
The releases kind of seem like they reflect the decades of the 20th century. I only lived through 2.5 of those decades so this is purely based on how those decades have been portrayed to me. 4.0 -1940s new world 5.0 - 1950s innocence 6.0 - 1960s uprising, idealistic 7.0 - 1970s sobering, greed? The begining of every decade is a little foggy. WWII, ?, Korea, Vietnam.
Whatever, I don't even agree with myself anymore.
IMHO, it seems that when it comes to linux, there are two groups of people, those that want to show how well Linux performs on the bleeding edge, and those that want to show how well Linux performs on their i386 circa 1991. The middle ground (read: Average User, 99% of computer owners) are somewhat ignored.
I signed up about 5 months ago, the service was installed on schedule, but I called to make sure ONCE A WEEK between my order and the install date. The service has been down about once every 3 weeks, usually on Sundays and, usually for about 3-4 hours at a time. They use PPPoE so for ~$40/mnth and a one year service agreement, I don't get a static IP, but that's not suprising. The install and the dsl modem were free, and the phone line changes were minimal. Staying connected for long periods of time doesn't always work, I've had a lot of trouble downloading the new RH7.0 ISO's, even when I find an open ftp server, I only get about 400MB before something goes wrong, I don't know if that's Ameritech or crowded ftp servers;)
I guess that I'd rather use the cable company, but that option wasn't available to me. The service is alright, but don't think that you can connect your modem to a router and circumvent the PPPoE just because you never disconnect. It doesn't work, you can't make the PPPoE look like a static IP, believe me I've tried...

Can't find it anywhere in the specs. But I can't find it anywhere in the P800 specs, and I know that the P800 uses Symbian...

They seem to be finding a way to use/contribute to open source software while maintaining a rather large amount of closed stuff.

Who knows what kind of things are being developed today that will become part of our lives 40 years from now...

These phones better have a good way to scroll through pages.
C "Go ahead, use the 'goto', I dare you."
C++ "Just make it a global variable, don't you want to go outside"
Java "Let me do that for you"
Perl "I need a buck, you got any money man?"
PHP "Stop calling me that!"
Python "I'm not different, I'm right. If you don't understand what I'm saying, it is because you are stupid"
VB "Burp..."
asm "Screw the next guy, you understand me, don't you?"
...can't wait
Why can't we apply this argument to Spam.
We don't want that to happen.

I'll admit it, I didn't read the article. And 1/2 of you probably didn't either. But are you angry at Redhat right now?
