"Installing Java" for Mozilla isn't a problem with Java it's a problem with the Java plugin for Mozilla which breaks because of Mozilla not Java. If you cannot install Java (the runtime) then I'd be concerned if you were given the task of installing a light bulb.
I think the Radio Shack Armatron should be nominated if for no other reason because it was so accessible. And it was genuinely fun to play with -- albeit a little noisey!
Can someone honestly tell someone is going to fly 20 miles into space using this wirey little hover-craft? I think a plane/rocket is a little more practical do you? I seriously doubt the design is suitable for reaching orbit.
The easiest way to literally listen to your network is with tcpsound. It's like tcpdump but 1) interprets the output from tcpdump so that you can first ssh to a remote host (i.e. your firewall) and 2) mixes configurable.wavs using libSDL. The implementation is very very simple but it works very well.
Just install one lib, build the tcpsound binary and run:
# tcpsound -r server.com ! port ssh
Or better, run it without ! port ssh for a split second to determine the ssh client address (you) and exclude that like:
# tcpsound -r server.com ! host <host/ip of listener>
This is a little like the application "peep" but you only need sshd root access and tcpdump on the remote machine.
The config can be heavily tweeked to play any wav sound given a port. You can have different sounds for packets with a specific source port vs a different destination port. For example, you'll see the default config it creates in/root/.tcpsound has a click sound for incoming HTTP packets and a ding sound for outgoing HTTP packets.
A bathroomhumor.conf sould really be added to the distribution for demonstration purposes:)

I know a UML VPS provider that is upgrading some of their host kernels to 2.6 tonight (although that was schedualed for some time now and has nothing to do with this release).
Oh, paleeease. Ok, if DirectTV didn't really have any evidence that the user indented to pirate the service then they have no case and should not be permitted to make a revenue stream out of settlements. But don't try to claim these people actually had a "legitimate reason" to use this equiptment. They're all freakn' bootleggers of the highest order. At least be honest about that.

I'm glad to see GPL software on a.GOV site but is this ok with the GPL?
I didn't start programming until I was in my mid 20s (degree in Chemistry). I liked fiddling with Java but always felt uncomfortable about what was going on underneath the hood. So I took a few classes. The first was Computer Systems Architecture. We wrote a game in x86 assembler. That class completely opened up my understanding how programs actually worked. To understand the stack, the state machine nature of things, and memory was an awakening experience.
Now (~5yrs later) I'm a fully capable programmer and an even better designer. My preference is C, binary file formats, networking protocols, crafting elegant solutions for multiplexing IO. I'm lead on a project used in production by many companies large and small.
I genuinely feel assembler is a vital part of the learning process for a programmer.
I am sick of knowing I have to reinstall Windows every 6 months or so. On top of all that, I'm tired of explaining to people that I don't have the problems they've had.
Huh? If everything is running so smoothly why do you have to reinstall it every 6 months?

Actually Firefox (or Firebird, not sure which one) has a serious problem with this. It favors Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V but attempting to use the select/middle click (e.g. for pasting a URL into a terminal window) does not work most of the time. I have not been successful in isolating the pattern yet but I'm fairly certain hitting Ctrl-C will wipe out the selection buffer. Someone please tell me this problem goes away in newer versions of Firewhatever.
What kind of Open Source advocate could possibly find fault with this? What you're basically saying is "I don't want more options". Besides compatibility is defined by POSIX.

You'll have no problem detecting TNT by shooting at it. Why the bullet needs to be "smart" eludes me considering it will likely be incinerated in the blast.
I don't see the controversy blocking outbound port 25 considering you can't reliably send mail from a cable modem anyway -- you'll be on the DUL. It's not as bad as being on the RBL but enough people block servers on the DUL (my employer does) that it's just not all that practical to use your cable modem for sending mail.
Actually serving much of anything on your cable modem is kinda cheezy now-a-days. For $15/mo you can have root on your own VPS. Split that with one other person and your gold.
Google continues to redefine the technology market with its creativity and tenacity
Really? I don't mean to be a troll. I like google and all but what have they done differently since the first day they opened for business. They're search engine just works great and that's it. They're in a position to do more but what? Does gmail constitute N billion in market capitalization they're going to pull in when the IPO goes through? Makes one wonder what they're going to do an not be "evil".
I'm the kind of user who just want's to get s**t done (programming) so I use Red Hat 7.3 and WindowMaker. It ain't fancy but it's solid as a rock. So far I haven't had too much trouble keeping 7.3 current. I just get the latest.src.rpm and rpm -bb SPECS/foo.spec && rpm -ivh RPMS/... The other day was the first time I really had a problem trying to install a new proggie (kst). It wanted the latest qt libs. Presumably I could have installed those as I have with the latest glib and gtk but it wasn't all that important at the time. I suspect I can keep going until the.src.rpm's are no longer compatible. And by then "sarge" will be "stable".
NFSv4 will also, unlike SMB, have support for automatic subdirectory delegations to other servers
CIFS has this. At least it sounds like DFS to me. If you try to access a directory that is hosted on another server you get NT_STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED, the client queries for a referral and redirects to a server in the list.
Regardless, SMB and NFS still both suck. NFS will always suck because there's very little focus on integrating it with other related concepts like user and access management. SMB sucks because the protocol is so ugly (as we both agree). But it doesn't matter how many features one can list for each if you cannot quickly manage the exports, users, and permissions.
If you have to process datasets like this I would say XML is a perfect fit. We use it at work all the time and it's just great. If you have to process satellite photos XML is great because it's extensible. If you running 10 miles than XML is perfect because of it's flexability. Can you imagine another technology that could help you with super imposing GPS telemetry and satellite photos? No! But XML is perfect for that. As an unexpected benifit because there are 10 cities you can use XML for all 10 and it works just the same. That's because it's an ideal solution that dovetails well with the extensible nature of this technology (moving forward that is).
