"Now If 100 more people in my area do the same? you get a major drop in the need to generate electricity by the company... expand this to 20% of the residents here? you can forget about having to build a new power plant... the consumer is making your power now..."
Actually, they would need just as many power plants as if there were no solar panels. They would not be running at full capacity during the day, but at night, the plants would be the only source of power.
First of all, openoffice-bin is only version 1.0.2 while source openoffice is 1.0.3. I have tried both, and personall, I think running openoffice optimized for my AthlonXP is worth having to wait a couple hours for it to compile. Linux is multi-tasking, it is no problem minimizing a kterm that is compiling. Alternatively, you can just start the compile before you go to bed. But OO 1.1 is not in portage yet:(
Anyone who has contributed any code to SCO Linux distro should be watching this case. Once IBM wins, if there is any money left over in SCO, you could get a piece just the same as IBM does if you sue, too.
This is probably the most insightful post I have seen on slashdot in a while. I wish this guy could be modded up to +10 so more people could read this.
Having two Ohio representatives vote for this really isn't too surprising. Ohio (and especially southern Ohio) has the perfect recipe for telemarketrs. The regional dialect is pretty close to proper English (most ohioans don't have an 'accent'), and pay is very low. When I was in high school in southern ohio, the only job a high school kid could get that paid about minimum wage was working for the market research firm. This meant calling people and annoying them with survey questions about their grocery shopping habits or whatever. They liked us because we sounded 'professional' and $6.00/hr seemed like a fortune to us. Glad I'm out.
Incidentally, the market research firms, like the one I work for, are not affected by the do-not-call list (because they are pollsters, not salesmen). In fact, their business will probably improve because people will be less harrassed by telemarketrs and more willing to answer a survey.
People who run Gentoo Linux would do great with this chip. Gentoo compiles everything from source, with global optimizations you can specify. As soon as a Gentoo installer comes out for this, people will be running a native, optimized, Athlon 64 OS with all applications also optimized.
Hey, we didn't start this war! Remember September 11th, 2001? And recently, British Intelligence has learned that Jupiter tried to buy uranium from Venus.
I have one in my desktop. It is in the front in the space I would have for a 2nd floppy drive. I can plug in my laptop cards, my smartmedia readers, whatever. I quite like it.

I may be stupid, but I can't think of any reson to have a colored linebreak. A colored horizontal bar kinda makes sense, but doesn't sound very useful. Nobody uses those these days anyway. But a colored linebreak... thats... someone please explain.
This kind of says something about the debian vs gentoo userbase. Debianers are poor, and Gentooers are rich. You see, if you are poor, you can use Debian or Gentoo because Debian's old kernel and really old version of XFree won't work on new hardware. Also, Debian distributes pre-compiled software, so your old, slow computer shouldn't have a problem with it. Gentoo, on the other hand, has the latest version of everything available. Your brand-new video card works from a default Gentoo install. Also, you need a new, fast PC to run Gentoo because you ahve to compile all the software you install. Debian and Gentoo are like polar opposites.
Oh, and there are other distro's out there, but they don't have emerge or apt-get, so they aren't really worth considering as they are constantly falling out of date. IMHO.
When I say "artist" in this context, I am talking about people who sell audio CDs but don't refer to themselves as musicians. Someone who can't read sheet music, but can just sing what she's told and shake her booty would call herself an 'artist', not a musician.
Look, there are "Artists" and then there are "Musicians". If you go to a concert by just and Artist, it will probably suck without these. Musicians can adlib and still sound good, but Artists, like most popular music today, is generally really bad live.
Well no sane business executive would authorize his company to start a partnership with a company that is in bankrupcy, so to the corporate customer, Mandrake might as well not be a company. Validating suse's claim.
"The problem I think......is that most watercooling solutions try to keep it all within the case."
The problem is, only people living next to rivers can properly water cool their computers. Every proper water cooler needs intake from the river and output a little farther downstream. This is complicated however, with the need for some kind of filtration system to keep fish and mollusks from entering your PC.
Blaming defense spending on the deficit is a funny thing to think about. Money spent on defense doesn't vanish. A lot of it goes to employing soldiers. This puts the money back into our system, and also trains and disciplines a lot of young men who might otherwise be getting into trouble. Much of the money goes to contractors, miners, etc, keeping more peopel in work. Yet more goes to research that hires higly educated people. Your statement that the money should be spent on education is kind of funny, because if this money were taken from defense to education, there would be a lot of educated people with no jobs. Even if you think defense spending is a complete waste, if all the people funded by defense lost their jobs, that money would be going into welfare, which is an investment with NO returns, comparatively.

Yes. The private company was free to hire him, without having to clear anything with the government.
You know, around here, them's fightin words.

Verisign has this power because of the government. The US gov put them in power, they can change them or take that power away.
You would just hardcode the entire database into the java executeable. It shouldn't make too much difference in the size of the java executeable...

If you are running Gentoo Linux, all your software is custom-compiled and optimized for your hardware. Not to brag or anything :)
I would prefer to communicate in a world where words had one meaning each. Makes things much easier.
