I didn't choose any lib, the packages do. I apt-get everything, don't build it myself. Stuff like this seems to happen quite often in Debian/Woody, i remember login and telnet not working for weeks a while ago. Also, lilo broke on the last upgrade on another box i use (also Debian/Woody). Fun all around....
I cant find anything in http://bugs.debian.org and i've only found 1 message about it in muc.lists.debian.user... does this mean svgalib1 is going to be removed or what?
They crossed their fingers and stood out shivering in a dark field in the middle of the night, only to see a very disappointing display.
I doubt it. If they were real astronomers, they'd come prepared, fully clothed, thermos full of cofee/tea and a reclining chair to lie back in. Best way to watch meteor showers. And ofcourse; if it's really cold, don't go out in a field on your own. Take one or more people with you because you wouldn't want to be found the next morning with hypothermia...
The article says that to achieve 100GB, the disc has to be double sided.. So presumably most of the media we see will actually only have a 50GB capacity.
ONLY 50GB????!!! Ohwell... i guess windows 2010 (a diskspace odyssey) just wont fit on that then...
Can't see what this is really about? People freak out at MS about any little thing - remember the whole Webdings thing? The letters NYC produced some symbols that seemed to suggest some wierd "disturbing" things. I mean, sure it was co-incidence, but they took a literal beating about it for a few weeks way back.
So whats the response? Fix it. The newer versions of symbols fonts have positive happy messages when you type in NYC. You get a picture of an eye, a heart, and the big apple.
Are you sure you don't mean WingDings?
When i type NYC with WingDings, i get: a skull and bones, something that looks like the star of david and a bomb??? I'm not kidding either! I've upgraded to the latest versions of about everything with win2000pro.
We need to start up the BBS era again; anyone have money for a spare phone line?
I used to have a BBS running, now there's just a mailer. Most people stopped calling 3 or 4 years ago and a lot of BBS software has become unusable since 1-1-2000 (like the hudson messagebase). I don't really see the point anymore in running a BBS since you can get an internet account for free from many places. In the end everyone only wanted to download jpg's anyway, that took most of the fun out of it for me.
or starters, you can't copyright a color. Period. Thus your argument that my argument is invalid is invalid. All visible colors fall under the umbrella of prior art. You can copyright certain works using color.
KPN Telecom sued other Dutch telecom companies for using green vans because "green was their colour and people would get confused about the other telecom companies being KPN telecom." It wasn't even exactly the same shade of green, just green. And they won! How silly is that?
``We need a database behind that, so when you're walking into an airport and you say that you are Larry Ellison, you take that card and put it in a reader and you put your thumb down and that system confirms that this is Larry Ellison,'' he said.
People who talk about themselves in the third person are scary. It also makes him sound like Bob Dole.
And i'm still not convinced he really *IS* Larry Ellison.
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die
than give you control.
Wouldn't want anyone to resist the government's control, now would we?
Other choices though, leave me kinda puzzled:
Bangles "Walk Like an Egyptian"
Louis Armstrong "What A Wonderful World"
The list goes on. I wonder what they'll be playing all day now.... Britney Spears and N'Sync? I bet they can find some 'offensive' words in there too. (Baby hit me one more time? Oops I did it again? (referring to the crash on the pentagon) and ofcourse Nsync's "bye bye bye".)
If you feel the urge to moderate this down as flamebait/troll, read the message again, think about what it says, and then decide again.
Umm... this is "news for nerds, stuff that matters", why exactly? Is Cowboy Bebop really Cowboyneal in disguise? Or does he run linux on a cow's stomach?
Anyway, this is all getting a bit silly. Some hypocritial tv stations here in the Netherlands cancelled several programs because of the WTC disaster, but didnt bother to leave out offensive commercials (like for the army)...
Hard drive technology is getting silly. 160GB? How many people can actually use that much space? How many people that have that much data actually put it on IDE drives?
I remember, not that long ago (early 90's) someone saying the same thing about a 330MB IDE drive... times sure change.
Quoting from a website:In 1998, Primus were at Pinkpop, where they caused a small earthquake (1.2 Richter). That was a record. The band to surpass the record, which was done the same day, is Rage against the Machine.
Those kids could've learned something from those metalheads... they were actually jumping up and down to that music too!
My friends recently got several (over 10) old compaq laptops (486 style with monochrome display's). They made a sweet video of many ways to destroy them, some of which include burning with gas and rolling over with a truck.
I don't know about other people, but i find this sort of senseless destruction of working(?) useable hardware rather offensive. You could have made a lot of people happy with these things.
If I could figure out where Arial, my old DEC Alpha Multia that was the original Slashdot, I would auction that off and give the cash to the EFF (minus shipping a cost of a case of beer;) Dave? Rosie? Where did that thing go? I know it was finally retired as the SMTP server... I probably should get it back someday;)
Slashdot Mirror
porn sites are going to spam me with www.screw.us?
So? Spam them back as www.screw.eu!
Hm. now zgv segfaults. ohwell...
Hopefully this is just a problem with the svgalib packages that will be fixed by a recompile.
I came upon some vague message about this happening when incompatible versions of gcc are being used?
Oh man libc5 is old. Why don't you use svgalibg1?
I didn't choose any lib, the packages do. I apt-get everything, don't build it myself.

This happened to me after an apt-get upgrade last week:
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libvga.so.1: undefined symbol: _xstat
zgv: relocation error:

But the thing that's disturbing is that the Powerpuff Girls have a virus. It must be the work of that villain MoJo JoJo!
Ofcourse not! It's the Amoeba Gang again!

Triples the number of Border Patrol, Customs Service and INS inspectors at the northern border
Authorizes $100 million to improve INS and Customs technology and additional equipment for monitoring the northern border
Yeah. Wouldn't want anyone escaping to Canada, eh? Maybe even the mexicans will give up trying to get in the USA now.
Adds certain terrorism-related crimes to RICO and money laundering rules
Especially this guy Rico, appearently.
Slashdot continues to grow: our traffic has increased by like 10% in the last few months
Did you take the whole WTC disaster (11/9, remember?) into account? I'm betting every news-site has seen this increase (or more!).
For christ's sake, Put on a shirt!! That link was the scariest thing in the BBSpot interview...

WTF is with this "Lameness filter encountered.? It disappeared as soon as i put this text below the link...

When i first saw this headline, i thought "oh no! a peanut-powered webserver! guess they ran out of potatoes..."
On second thought, maybe Snoopy, Charlie Brown and Friends are finally getting penguin powered?
Linux is just more proof shit does not sell.
Well, actually...

Any other ideas?
