they both seem to be about as stable as any other linux distro. because of this (and my need for newer packages), i always use unstable these days. sometimes unstable isn't even new enough though. XFree 4 wasn't included in unstable for a long time. i had to compile it myself for a while (yech...).
I used Debian woody for a while, but apt once installed perl-5.6, and it totally screwed up the dpkg config system. I had to go back to Mandrake (though I don't particularly like 7.2). Has anyone else had a problem with the perl 5.6 package? Is it fixed yet?
And no, I'm not under 40. None of you youngsters even know what it was like to wait for a radio to warm up. (Which reminds me, why weren't vacuum tubes on that list?)
My parents have an old radio like that. It's packed away now, but I remember that it took a few seconds to warm up. Also, I have a modern equalizer for my stereo that has tubes.
Vacuum tube: "I feel happy! I feel happy!
" Whack!
You can't burn anything without oxygen, anyway. That's a known quantity. This is not a shock. I can, however, assure you that gaseous hydrogen will burn quite nicely when you have oxygen around to combine with it.
Technically, fluorine can support combustion, too. IIRC, this works:
I disagree; while commercial services may become popular, Napster and other file-sharing services will never go away. Look at opennap or gnutella. I don't think these will go away anytime soon. A quick look at gnapster shows 46 opennap servers available. Gnutella has many thousands of hosts.
Whether or not piracy is legal, it is unstoppable.
Ok, how about a simple javascript compression algorithm? Certainly "original", as I haven't seen anything like that before. It's possible that you could have 10k or more of just text, but under 5k of javascript and compressed data.

Umm, this was modded down? It at least deserves a +2, funny. I laughed out loud reading it.
After a little research, I found the proper package and everything works wonderfully again.
What package was that? I'd really like to go back to Debian.

BTW, I'm 16.

Yeah, small font. Same thing at server.counter-strike.net. Try turning off stylesheets (in Prefs|Advanced).

But on the whole, you, I and anyone without severe neurosis would admit that /. posters generally like MS as much as boiled turnips.
You're absolutely right. My boiled turnips hate Microsoft.How is it that people can get that much use out of a pair of batteries? I can get about 12-14 hours max on my Visor. Am I doing something wrong?
