Maybe you are looking for a way to run a specific command without logging in? This can be done with key authorization. The command must be named before the key in authorized_keys (OpenSSH), which looks something like this:
This is definetly a really cool idea. I guess you could find about 95% of the worthfile websites, if the database is big enough. Then, "traditional" search engines would only be needed if you need very special information and a "social bookmarks search" haven't brought the desired result.
I forgot to mention in my previous post that the other big reason to use del.icio.us - as you mentioned - are the tags which obsolete the use of folders. I had (and still have, as I'm still in the process of a (slow) migration) a lot of bookmarks, carefully "categorized" in folders. However, I almost never used them again later because they were too hard to find.
I use del.icio.us for half a year now. I chose it over del.irio.us because I thought it would be safer to chose the "bigger" service. I don't want to disappear my carefully collected bookmarks when a project becomes dead or something. However... I never used the "social" aspect of del.icio.us. I may do so, some day, but even the way I use this service now, it's certainly better than any text file or something. The only reason for moving my bookmarks to del.icio.us was to have them available anywhere I access the web.
It's just an interesting fact, nothing less, nothing more. The last time I built the X-Windows-System myself is about 2 years ago and I don't have any reason to do it today.
I didn't mean to complain, I was just amazed by this fact. They mentioned 19 to 75 minutes, that's a damn big difference. And no, I'm not a gentoo kind of guy or something, and I surely won't notice anything of the longer building time with my Debian binaries:-)
Mwuhaha, yeah, that's the same level of newsworthyness as this "story"... BTW she seems to be nice, but who is crazy enough to bid 60 bucks for her foto??? Rise, economy, rise!
Oh, I got you wrong on the issue. One other, really annoying feature is the animation at the logout screen. It's slow on localhost:0 and of course even slower on remote connections. IIRC this animation is also "hardcoded" and cannot be turned off easily.
The wireframe saves a lot of bandwidth in comparison to displaying the whole window. If displaying a wireframe is a problem then you should avoid scrolling a browser window on that client, too.
If you buy a Mac, you get only compatible (to MacOS X) hardware. If you buy a PC, you get hardware that is compatible to Windows. Linux supports both to a degree, but to be sure, you should check hardware compatibility _before_ buying/building a computer. By the way, some vendors offer PCs preinstalled with GNU/Linux, I guess these only contain compatible hardware.
This is by far the worst story I ever saw on slashdot. And it even made it to the front page! Besides the fact that every sane person uses a search engine to find information on a specific problem and maintains his own link list, our friend should have at least checked his list for broken links...
I don't think this is a solution. At least I wouldn't be happy if all web designers made their page even wider. 800 pixels ought to be enough for everybody!:-) No, seriously: I have a 21" monitor and like to use the space for more than just a browser window. With my current setup four tiled windows/frames make up my "desktop". One of these is my browser window, which is 900 pixels wide. This is fine for most of the sites I visit and pretty readable (long lines are hard to read).
I've never been a fan of web applications. They almost never provide what they want to be: applications which run on every guessable platform. There's always a small detail which works only with JS or even only with one specific browser so the platform independence is screwed up. (The advantage of easy & immediate deployment is still valid though.)
But let's talk about accessibility. There are some guidelines for designing accessable webpages and there are frameworks for the development of normal desktop applications. How could accessibility issues be handled with/by AJAX? A screenreader has a hard job to do even with webpages today, and I don't think the situation will change with more (inter)active websites.
Hey, cool, thanks! I don't have the possibility to run Emacs 24/7, but I'm quite happy with the "session" handling of desktop.el. A quick startup is nice, but not necessarily a requirement for me as I use Emacs for many things -- I can wait those 2 seconds more.
The O'Reilly book is certainly a good choice if you want an easy introduction on Emacs. I own the 2nd edition, which was published in 1996. This may seem as quite dated for an IT book. But to introduce Emacs, it's still very convenient. Remember: this piece of software is over 20 years old, the UI has matured, big changes [in the basic usage of the editor] are seldom. My advise: if you want to learn the basics of Emacs, get a [cheap] copy of the 2nd edition until|if it is available in some stores. If you want to learn about advanced topics, the GNU Emacs manual is a good source!
Those days weren't good. I had no special floppies but about 6-8 boot configurations with different memory managers, each with it's own settings. I don't think that DOS gaming was comfortable. But I don't think gaming on anything other than a device (I'm speaking of the console of your choice) built for gaming is comfortable to deal with (if you _only_ want to play games).
I don't think it's the perfect platform, but several projects have shown that it is very well possible to port games to GNU/Linux (or even better: they started out the project with portable code). The id software games are maybe the best example how to "do it right". I don't think they make any profit of it, but the fact that they have Linux ports of their games earns them a lot of respect I think.
Anyway, what's the state of games on GNU/Linux (native ports, not WINE stuff (no, I'm not ignorant and I don't dislike WINE or Cedega or something (well, maybe Cedega, because their code is not open (because they use some win32 interfaces and bindings which you have to lincense or something)) since Loki is out of business (I know about icculus, but other than that))? (by (the (way) who 'likes lisp?)):-)
There is such a feature underway for GNU Emacs, too. But currently it only exist as a seperate patch set. I guess it will take a while until it makes it to the main CVS repository. But yep! This is a damn useful feature. It's especially nice to attach to an already running Emacs session (in X) if you connect via SSH.
This may be not that a good suggestion, but please don't chose the book (written in german) "Praxisbuch Sicherheit für Linux-Server und -Netze", it's a piece of crap. OK, that's hard, but i think it's really doesn't worth the money. It covers half theory and half of the practical side, but the "practical" things are mostly [better] explained on some internet ressources.
I just tried opening an Excel document with oocalc in the way you described. Works as (I) expected. You may want to try out Gnumeric. I heard it's a nice Excel replacement.

What about modding the editors? I would especially like a button [decrease karma for posting a dupe... again] :-)
Well, such a "purchase" seems OK for me. I wish "we" could buy other nice software packages to set them free.
That's true and I think it was a great idea. AFAIK it was used to give the foundation some money to start off with.

Accoriding to the german iX magazine, building the modularized X-Server takes about 3x as long as building the "monolithic" version.

Please tell me more about this. I use Emacs for some years now, but I haven't heard about such a thing.

Just in case you are interested:

The 'X' in Xemacs has nothing to do with the 'X' in XFree86/X11.
