StileSoft NetCaptor is the browser you want, in that case. I used it until Mozilla, and then Phoenix, became good enough for daily use. The one catch is that it's not free - it's adware unless you pay for it - but it's a one-man operation, and it's good work - he deserves the money.
There is a port of HURD to L4 in process. I was under the assumption that that was going to be the official HURD...guess not. Shame the 'main' branch is still on Mach...it may have been neat back when virtual memory was still new and hot, but it's really showing its age now
Firstly, HFS+ support on Linux is kind of shaky. http://hfsplus.sourceforge.net has some early-in-development kernel patches for HFS+ support. Secondly, in addition to transferring the mp3 files over to the ipod's disk, the filenames and some metadata have to be entered into a file called iTunesDB, the format of which is proprietary and not currently fully known outside Apple.
Quite. It was a whole sequence of orders. I'd quote it verbatim, but I don't have the book I read it in with me - the title is Blind Man's Bluff, don't recall the author; it's about submarine espionage during the Cold War.
There's a funny story about Reagan and subs... Once, as an actor, he played the role of a submarine commander, and in a makeshift dressing room aboard the sub (while it was in dock) one day, was practicing his lines. The crew heard this, thought it was the real captain speaking, and the sub almost ripped the dock apart before the captain ran up shouting "All stop! All stop, God damn it!"
Sun does support CD-R{W} drives; install the SUNWcdrw package off one of the sol8 CDs. No need to even disable volume management, or build the scg driver.
A 25-pin DIN (if such a beast existed) wouldn't be an electronic component at all. It's a connector - I suspect he meant a DB-25 connector; old-style SCSI, serial, or parallel port.
useradd doesn't let you create usernames with $s, but you can run vipw and add it afterwards. It does making running a PDC annoying - can't create machine trust accounts on the fly with stock useradd, but you could just hack the tool up to remove the limitation.
AOL is *not* going to release a nicely packaged Linux client. No. Period. It doesn't make business sense for them to encourage people to switch operating systems and deal with the flak that'll result. So, what I'm predicting is AOL looking into building its own custom distro - definitely the AOL client, which, I am told, already exists on a Gateway 'internet appliance' machine, probably a stripped-down-to-the-bones base system and KDE, and a hacked-up version of StarOffice or KOffice with perfect MSOffice compatibility. They'll offer this as a standalone OS solution to OEMs. *Not* retail; the people who go out and buy their own OSes aren't AOL's market. AOL's market are the people who buy a computer for light web surfing, IMing, and word processing - sure, they wouldn't mind if every geek in the world used their product on Linux, but we're not their primary market. They can tout their OS as being 'Linux-powered' in the same sense that Mac OS X is touted as 'UNIX-powered', hype the stability, etc, etc. They have the advantage that this is an almost entirely closed software platform, so they'll be able to achieve stability greater than that of AOL on Windows. They'll advertise innate security, and so on.
And it will work, unless MS strongarms the hell out of all the OEMs; in light of the continuing antitrust trial, that would not be in their own interest. It's not a victory for Linux - though that's a practically meaningless phrase - it's not a victory for 'Open Source' or 'Free Software' - ditto. It *is* a *small* victory for open standards, which Gecko complies to quite well. Don't get any hopes up about AOL replacing its proprietary protocol suite, though, or about them releasing source. They know exactly what they want - a closed software platform that they're not dependent on archenemy MS for, and if they do what it seems they will, they'll get it.
It occurred to me that such a closed platform would be an excellent way for AOL/TW to enforce DRM on their platforms. Without a way to install new apps besides 'AOL-certified' ones (you bet there won't be any other way - why the hell would they include a terminal app? Their market doesn't care about a CLI), it'll be easy for them to enforce copyright. Not spinning conspiracy theories, just found that interesting...

"gaggregator" doesn't sound particularly appealing...
*throws up hands*
All right, I goofed on the guidance system.
Nevertheless, the V-1 was not a ballistic missile.
You're thinking of the more well-known V2. The V1 "buzz-bomb" was a pilotless plane full of explosive and remotely guided.

well, patents expire after seven years, so...

OT, but regarding your sig: :)

Mind a scan or three? My Color Slab came doc-less off eBay.
Dry and terse, quite. The install guide for NS 3.3, at least, is sleeper material.

booting with init=/bin/sh bypasses login/root password/all other checks. /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow...
For when you do things like clobbering
I was lucky enough to pick up a used Ultra which already had one installed, so I don't have quite the experience you'd. Sorry. :)

Apache, like most other server daemons, is more I/O-bound than CPU bound; patching it to use a co-processor won't do much.

You're confusing softupdates with an async mount. SU ensures that the FS metadata is always consistent, leading to a rock-solid FS.
...strip. A twist, in the fabric of space, where time becomes a loop.
Nice sig.
Agh, and my mod points ran out yesterday. Good analogy.
useradd doesn't let you create usernames with $s, but you can run vipw and add it afterwards.
It does making running a PDC annoying - can't create machine trust accounts on the fly with stock useradd, but you could just hack the tool up to remove the limitation.
So what if they do? Good ideas deserve to be implemented, no matter by who.
