A better use of that knowledge would be to help these fine people . The problem is that they would of course be able to tell that the data is encrypted no real way to keep that knowledge from them but with Rubberhose they can never tell how much or if the have it all. A pretty sweet project.
Oh shit you are stupid (and yes this is flamebait) A bleeding edge distro that is known to be unstable has a bug that does not like *WD* drives not IBM. Ok you sir are an idiot there are plenty of other distros out there that work just fine. whatever....
There was a great interview with Tim (I'm a fanboy BTW) in this months Linux Journal. You are right Tim does not mind commerce on the net. His thoughts on how/why patents damage everything are very good. I really like his eco approach to the issue.
Have you looked at the testing branch for Debian. It does not come with 2.4.x by default but you can apt-get it and AFAIK it is working very well at this point?
*Never* say you are sorry for quoting Neal. The above has nothing to do with the fact that I just finished reading Cryptonomicon for the 5th time either.:)
That would assume that the person posting under that name is THE Heidi Wall. I don't think so as it would not take much to come up with the address. I just can't see Larry's daughter saying some of those things but then again I *really* like Larry and would hate to think his daughter turned out a/. troll.

Yes but of course we are hoping that the aliens are smarter than the "people" who call tech support lines. At least I hope other civs don't have those kind of problems.:)
I do know about UltraLinux(I really like my SPARCstation 5) I also know enough to know that Sparc Linux will *not* run on every new machine Sun comes out with and that it sometimes takes some time to get it working right. The reason I prefer Linux to Solaris on a desktop machine is simple.
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade Now maybe you should go and look at www.ultralinux.org
I would have to agree but this (IMHO) is mostly because Sun tunes the hell out of them for such things and also because GNU/Linux does not get tested so well on those boxes. Having said that this is a desktop machine and cheap enough that I would think the Sparc guys will have a working port soon.
for the $995 model it does not have any 3D but of course the big boy is only ~2500 and has good 3D and should rock. If you can put GNU/Linux on one of these I might just get me a Sparc for home. And before everybody asks me why the simple answer is I use and know Solaris but I like GNU/Linux better.
Hehehe I just love this one. I thought it was very clear from the post that I an *not* a really gung ho Mormon and then for people to go and write something like this guy did. Cracks me up people who base their lives (or a good portion of) around being anti-mormon. In any case you are right. And as far as people making money so what? The LDS church is rich get over it. Also look at all the people they help and this is true. In any case I enjoyed your post. And better the volume 6 of History of the Church are the Porter Rockwell stories. I for one am proud of that bit of history.
The key word there is metal this would be higher than they have been able to do it with METAL in the past. Yup it's easy to insult people when you ignore words.
The issue is not with Debian or RH for that matter while I'm sure both would prefer to see the drivers opened (and so would I) they can not ship them why you ask read the license.
2.1.1 Rights. Customer may install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE on a single computer, and except for making one back-up copy of the Software, may not otherwise copy the SOFTWARE. This LICENSE of SOFTWARE may not be shared or used concurrently on different computers.
Which means you have to go to Nvidia's site and download them. The issue is Nvidia now granted I use the drivers and they work fine and I have accepted that they will not open them but someone could still make debs of the drivers (and I'm sure would and that they would be put in non-free or just on another apt mirror) but because of Nvidia they can't. And while I kind of undrstand why they don't open the drivers all the way I really don't understand why you can only download from them.
and I'm a fairly active Mormon (in that I go to church, mostly because my wife thinks it is a good idea) I should fit right in in Utah but right now I'm very involved in trying to move to the Portland Oregon area (btw if you need a good Unix/GNU/Linux systems guy and are in that area send me a mail) Why? Becuase Utah has many problems above and beyond drinking laws. First I have no idea where this myth that Utah has a low cost of living came from but it is not true. Also taxes tend to be very high and wages much lower than other spots that have the same cost of living. And then there are the Mormons. In other places in the country that I have lived I have really liked many of my fellow Mormons and in fact enjoyed going to chruch. Here in Utah most of them tend to be aholes. In short people not coming to Utah has nothing to do with liquor laws but more to do with the fact that on many other levels it sucks.
is put it all on one or two cds. Thinks about it you could just download the tarballs to make Quake 2 work under GNU/Linux they same thing for UT. I seem to remember Carmack saying that Q3 could have done the same thing but they wanted to release a version to be able to track the GNU/Linux adoption. IMHO this was a mistake put it all in one box and make and put a install script on the net (Just like UT has done.) No fuss no muss no overhead added and we GNU/Linux gamers don't have to pay through the nose. This is one of the reasons why I have and enjoy UT and only have the demo for Q3.
But apt-get will honor new versions from other sources. For example if I use the Mozilla debs from Progeny apt is more than happy to leave it alone. If I understand the first poster right up2date would force me back to a "official" version of Mozilla.
Also last time I looked (Granted this was several months ago) up2date only worked if you bought a boxed set from RedHat. It did not work with any other way you could get RH this is one of the things that made me give Debian a try and I'm *very* happy that I did because I have found far more since then.
Because I would rather not have to deal with Windows just to play a game. That and since I seem to be a very typical GNU/Linux geek the games that come out tend to be the ones I want to play. A box is whatever you use it for. Here at work they are servers and the one on my desktop (finally got permission to do it) is used to do my job. At home one of the thing I do with my desktop machine is game and I would rather not own a m$ product thank you.
I have to grant that Penny Arcade gets a "hit" more often than User Friendly has for the past while. But back in the day User Friendly was *really* good and the good ones are very funny it is still taking a look at everyday just for that. I also like both.

Yes to be able to turn off that "Hot Horny women" ad would be a *very* good thing. OTOH I really like the Despair ads. :)

It's mostly because the Russian government will do it from a sub for dirt cheap. They need the cash and have not use for the ICBM. :)
