Well, come to the UK and sit stationary on the M25 some time if you want to explore the 'building more lanes increases traffic flow' idea:-)
Not enough lanes, too few roads that are too shit. If you could get around the inside of London easier you'd also see less stress on the M25 as people would drive internal to it rather than external. Also I live up north, and to get to say Dover for a Ferry, I would have to go on the London Ringroad.
Its the Governments responsibility to the the right people / products to the right places as cheaply and fast as possible, this leads to the UK being more competitive because industry can more easily get the clever people, (which to a degree means cheaper), the can more the finished product (assuming there is one) around the country to the ports / people cheaper. Listening to the green lobby is just an excuse for the government to spend less money.
Besides it actually doesn't matter if its Gridlocked when you Quadrouple the capacity, your moving around 4 times as many products / people which is actually still good.
Debian on a new laptop (we all know how laptops have funky hardware), and everything worked except the wifi and acpi straight out of the box, this inludes the cdr, the wired network the ati display card, and yes the sound card.
He's prolly got some strange fucked up old card, He must think because he can't get his going no one else can get thiers going, idiot.
Oh and BTW Windows *DOES NOT WORK* on my laptop, sure XP Home that came with it worked, but 2K with vendor supplied vid drivers crashes on boot every time, ringing tech support tomorrow!
however it can be, Imagine a tool that made a mailserver / dns so easy to set up that you didn't have to know how IP worked. That is a security problem.
Having said that is that really usability? I personally don't think so, perhaps a real world equivelant would be knowing how to use a VCR without knowing how to plug it in (which is kindof bizarre).
I totally disagree, If the company who purchases the product doesn't take sufficient action to see that thier data isn't lost it is thier fault. After all they could put a common user/pass on all thier systems themselves (self back door).
I'm very sorry, but if I found out that someone had backdoor'd one of my systems I;d like to know why, and "I thought you were too stupid to ensure your own data" is not an excuse I'd be willing take!
Well the fact its Apple hardware only is one hell of a massive reason alone. Without the side issue of the major projects like Apache, X, MySQL, Postgres, virtually every other targetting Linux. Yes Linux is a Monolithic Kernel, as apposed to a Micro Kernel, but is that really so massively important (I do love the idea of micro kernels, and I think it would be great) to remove the head of steam that Linux has built up.
ATM your seeing Linux ported to everything under the sun, not because its the best but for the simple reason that people know it, I'd be very surprised if NetBSD didn't Linux on portability.
Is bollocks, yes its wonderful on OS X but no one supports Java on Linux on Mac, which is a horrible, horrible shame, I only thinking about buying a mac about a week ago (I've been waiting for the end of the tax year) and was so close to puttin the money down when i was checking that everything i needed would run. Then it dawned on me. Java, oh shit there is the problem, I so wanted an iBook too, Now to buy an equally sexy system I need to go for probably a Sony Vaio (im looking for a laptop). Come on Apple get with it, you sell me the hardware and a copy of OSX (i'm quite happy paying the OSX tax) Its not like anybody other than Apple use PPC anyway.
Well the games industry is going to bring in people who have gone through game making degrees / college courses as programmers / level designers, Artists for the graphics, Sound Techinicians and Musicians for Sound Effects and Music. Degree's could not teach the full wealth in all the area's, nor would should it hope to.
- How about pluging this thing via 1392 to an external CD-RW ???
Assuming Firewire is like USB the IPod will only work as a client, the CDRW will be a client making this impossible
- How about using the interface via WI-FI to do war driving / walking;)
See above
- How about using it to hold ISO's of your latest distro that you could use as a more direct form of data transfer
Well you could do this, as your just accessing a file on a storage medium, but you should be able to do this anway!
There are plenty of times that I want to find somewhere I was, however i usually resign myself to refinding (my dumb arse fault for not bookmarking it) rather than use history. This just shows how bad the current implementations are.
Third world is not where the money is, why should RedHat care at all. Gnome hackers are going to have at least half decent computers why should they care too much? I mean come on, No matter what the spec your going to have at least a $100 monitor, and a decent base unit is only gonna cost you $250 to $300. Yeh whine all you want about not being able to run 100 GNOME processes but your a hippie to care. I mean shit GNOME specs are pretty damn low as then are (700Mhz + 128MB ram should be snappy and pretty rock bottom on the hardware front).
I'd love to get an iPod but with no Ogg (I have loads off OGG's) I can't, the Rio Karma looks like its probably too big and the iRiver just looks soooo ugly (and big). Anybody know of another alternative? jensofsweden look like a posibility but I can't bring up any specs from anywhere.
I've just spent ages learning J2EE with JBoss. I'm watching.NET very closely, specifically Mono, My next UI will probably be Mono (Java is utter crap for this), and will probably start making smaller server side projects in it as well (Its an absolute joy to do SOAP stuff in which is the only way to go now IMHO). When its mature I'm dumping Java.
Does anyone know if iFolder can give me a portable Home Directory.
NFS can't do this, Coda has its own authentication and requires you to pretty much manually say which files to cache locally, Intermezzo looks awsome but isn't ready yet. I may be prepared to deal with the pain from Intermezzo or Coda if LDAP authentication could be cached on the local machine, not being able to log on makes all of this nonsense anyway.
Watching the demo iFolder had LDAP (Active Directory or the Novell LDAP server) which could probably be bent to OpenLDAP and it sync's files, but how will it deal with dot files? will it preserve unix permissions, will the automatic sync's be quick enough?
already makes it clear that gifting or reselling items includes a transfer all of rights, including copyright, warantee, and licencing agreements, so providing your original is the genuine article you're not a criminal.
Does this mean that its normal for CD's as gifts to be illegal in different countries?
Anti American is true, Countries are getting wise to the fact that relying on one very large american corporation for software is not a good thing. There is a potential for every copy to have a back door etc (I don't believe this personally). Plus it's hardly good for any country's economy, much better to home grow a Linux Distro and push that (Red Flag Linux as an example). Ok this is only talking about governments mostly but some countries have very big governments.
Just like on TV there are kids films (for kids) there are Family Films (something for everyone), teen flics for teens, and things like The Godfather etc, so it will be natural that as the Gamer covers more and more of the age range, some games will be made that target those different areas

Its worth noting that these companies became some of the biggest without DRM at all.

Where is the privacy issue, the man is dead! Sure I would not my 3 year old watching it (if i had one) but otherwise I don't see the problem.
The guy taped himself killing himself, He wanted people to see!

Oh yes because pre OSX lots of developers were making software for the mac, WTF, your spouting absolute garbage there.
However everything after the first line does make sense and is very real.
Wow, I thought about that briefly before posting but decided that'd be cool and I'd surely know about it if it was that clever!

When you convert from one lossy format to another you usually end up with horrible quality.
so not buying until it supports them properly (although i would absolutely love to). May choose an alternative if a really good one comes along.
