I'm sorry, in my country the show was available only for the first season and in spanish. I'm a big fan of The Ramones, can someone quote some of Joey Ramone quotes used in the show by Langley ?
Well I have two servers in my bedroom and the noise used to be unacceptable to have a good night sleep so I just did a couple of things to reduce it without buying a thing.
Got a lot of those foam pads that comes with motherboard boxes ? not the pink thin ones, the gray thick foam. I used this as my noise-insulating material because air can flow through it. so I put it around my hard disks (I have a barracuda 7200 drive, pretty noisy drive), and through the openings or grids and on the inner walls of the case.
The noise level was reduced but you have to be careful with the heat dissipation, if you are gonna try this you should open the case after 30 minutes of use just to check how hot is in there.
I don't know about the rest of the non-redhat users out there, but I did not find very pleasant the fact that Eazel only supported Red Hat officially. I could understand that from a non linux related company but from Eazel, I didn't.
Maybe if they did something like Ximian, supporting a big bunch of linux distributions,they had more people following their work and got more venture capital to continue their work.
I would hate to see Eazel go down the toilet, but for me that clearly showed how important is to this kind of companies to gather an open community around them, and not around on a distribution.
Why apologize ? for the fact that the US WAS SPYING!
That's why. And the US was caught doing it. Spying is considered in any country as a direct offense. To the eyes of the whole world the US did offended the Chinese, but the US goverment and the US media tries by all means to bury or ignore this single fact.
....that nobody moderaded up the right answer. The right answer is info.cern.ch which was , at the time, Tim Berners-Lee NeXT Cube machine. It is, at least, the oldest www site ever.
On Tim's book "Weaving the Web" which I believe was featured here on Slashdot, Tim answers that particular question.
(And I just can't believe how many think the web was a NCSA invention)
...but Im tired of updating BIND every once in a while. If a fork would produce a much higher quality software to do the job, then fork the damm think.
I think is way too much responsibility for the ISC to do such an important piece of software for the Internet and to be by far the most used.
All that Im trying to say is that there should be others open-source/GPL choices of software for this task.
El problema es que muchas de las tecnologías de Internet y de sus servicios no soportan muy bien que digamos los caracteres en español. Por ejemplo, los acentos y la 'ñ' no son soportados por muchos clientes de correo electrónico. Los dominios tampoco permiten caracteres en español, aunque quiza eso cambie pronto.
We booked ESR to several talks here at ITESM Monterrey, in Mexico in a 3 day span. He never missed one and we had some really big audiences, nearly 800 people attended his live talk and 1500 people saw a interview with him through the remote learning system (satellite tv broadcast) of the university. As you can see, this was a really big risk because of the large audiences, the high priced international flights, the fact that handguns of any kind are forbidden in my country (no, there are no licences to carry a gun either), and his big appetite for spicy mexican food.
He of course had a talk and hang out with the local LUG. Even released a new Fetchmail version right here from my home network. He never, at any moment, forgot any part of his schedule.
Anyway, if you have any experience making these kind of events you should know already that this things happen quite often, and most important, you should call your speaker two or one day before the day of the event.
The people who are common speakers at events like this have the tendency to be very busy people, you _should_ know that, and if this thing happened to you, in part is your fault, not ESR, because if you had established a good relation with your speaker, this thing would never happened.
I dont believe you are making a proper judgement on ESR, and, more important, Who the hell are you to judge Eric ? Eric as far as I got to know him, was a all-around nice guy, and that's the impression he left to most of the local LUG members.

Hey, Lookout Records deserves some respect, they are not in the list, an also they are a pretty good punk rock label without any corporate enviroment and charge little for their CD's, and I think some of their bands are also pretty good, if not better in average than Fat Wreck chords.
Also, they are an older label, even Operation Ivy released some albums with them.

This new "threat" on civil rights and personal privacy looks just lika a publicity stunt to me because you can never compare the extreme survelance the KGB had before the fall of communism.
The KGB had a really great survelance system because most of their information came from the civilian population itself, from citizens who where looking for a little extra money or simply a better life, and this was a difficult task in a communist country. Now that Russia and the other ex-USSR countries have a free market economy, people have a lot more options to improve their quality of life. In short, to achieve the level the KGB had as a spying state-driven organization this new agency has to hire thousands, if not millions, of russian citizens to watch one another. Even so, the quantity of the information would be so much that most of it would be unreachable or not usable, and that's without checking the quality of it.
I dont recall exacly but I think the german secret police, the Stasi, had this problem, they where overwelmed with information and most of it was useless.
What the Russian goverment should do is protect civil rights and enforce them like western countries do. This is part of a transition, and Russian citizens are more or less used to this kind of espionage and invasion or personal privacy.

The first web browser, written by Tim Berners-Lee was also graphical.

There's a pretty good review of MacOS X on Kuro5hin, you should have included also.
