Name a *nis that does'nt have single user mode? There maybe one but I can't think of it. Now I'll admit to not hating Ubuntu but it sounds like you've not used *nix very much.
There is nothing like OpenBSD running pf and carp. Dead easy to set up, works like a charm, and secure by default. One wonders why the editors seem to think OSS == Linux.
I too was once like you. Then I found myself at 0230 hrs dialed into a firewall on a 56k modem that wasn't pulling anywhere even near 56k, trying to teach myself vi cause it was the only text editor on the box.
It was at that point that I groked the need to know a text editor that is almost everyplace, fast, and can be used with no GUI. And to be able to use it in your sleep. That's why I now only use vi.
Sure if you never mean to really do anything guis are fine. But if you are ever going to step up to the plate and put on your big boy pants vi is the only way to fly.
At the ISP I was working for at the time we had this running on all the servers. It was very fun and the best part is that the CEO was in on the whole thing. Hard to find good places with a fun attitude these days. Damn shame.
Yeah. I went to trackballs 7 years ago and now feel nothing but pity for mouse users. The Logitech Trackman Wheel/Marble series are the best pointing devices ever.
Kind of like Nvidia and the nv drivers? Which I'm happily using on my OpenBSD box right now and that have gone from shit to great. Still not really any good 3d but if I wanted that I'd install Linux. So yes, congrats you've just invented the model that they've been using for years now and made my point.
You are wrong. Drivers have a dramatic influnce on the performance of video cards. This is why they are being constantly updated and why people who really care about 3d performance keep up with the latest drivers ans why, or at least last time I was a PC gamer, getting pre-release drivers is such a big deal. A LARGE portion of the performance for any given card lies in the drivers.
Have you ever submitted a Sluggy related story? You do know how it works around here, right? Random people submit stuff they think is cool and that others want to read about. PA fans tend to submit sotries and so you see them. Submit stories they might get posted.
I really fail to see your point unless you have submited a bunch of Sluggy stories and they have been rejected. Even then the editors make no secret of the fact that they choose the stuff that they want to read. So yes it is biased but everybody who has been paying any attention at all knows that and knows how it all works.
The way to do it is to simply do it. Set up a site with torrents, you have to sign up and pay to get a username and password. Put in some benefits to having a high upload to download ration. Early access, exculsive content, DVD style "extras" maybe. I'm sure many people can dream up better stuff than I can.
Produce a product that people *want* to pay for. The BBC has already done this. If there was a way to pay them for the content that I've pulled off of uknova I would in a heartbeat and I know for a fact that I'm not alone here.
You can tie the torrents to IP address so that is no problem. Yes, people will pass them around. But I'm thinking a lot more will happily pay for it and let others pay if you design it well and produce good content. All in all they would make more than they do now and those who want to get it without paying would be able to anyway so no real downside.

Where *specificially* is plaintext not optimal? Keeping in mind all of the advantages of plaintext and all of the downsides of binary only "objects". Not just speed.
Now granted I'm a plaintext snob so if you can convince me you can convince anybody. But in the year 2005 you better bring a *lot* more than speed to the table.

Heh. I got my first Mac since 1984 on Friday. And was shocked at how badly /. looked. Yeah. They really did a bad job there. /. that is.
*click* :)
As much as I think it's borken in general. This might be a decent application of Tor.

Must. Not. Make. Reed. Joke.

DoD wipes, eh? You do, of course, know that that is so broad as to be without meaning. So a few questions.
1. What kind of media?
2. What kind of data?
3. Clear or Sanitize?
Correct on your first four points. But on number 5 you misspelled 'are the best things ever.' as 'suck'. Not sure how you did that.
And you think that corps in the US went to 40 out of the goodness of their hearts?
And the downside is?
Cause you know once you're out of the meeting with just a little thought you should be able to figure out how to never go back.
That the writeup is pretty much wrong in that this is much more like a hypothesis than a theory at this point.
You have an awfully narrow defination of music. Where does it say that music has to have any of those things?

That would, to some large degree, be the whole point. And is pretty much the reason I want one.

You believe wrong. And all the places listed in that thread are in the "built up" part of the park. No place that a hiker would get lost.
"Ok, what about police officers that use cell phones in emergencies, or when they require more privacy than a radio allows."
A cell phone *is* a radio and can be scanned just like any other radio.
"An EMT who works in Yellowstone National Park who needs an airlift for a lost hiker?"
Yeah cause I'm sure the coverage in the wilderness area of Yellowstone is just great. What with all those cell towers around.

And given that in the past month I've converted away from Debian to OpenBSD. Yeah. But more people get the Debian joke. Thus.
