1) FM radio? That will hardly drive sales...if there was anything to listen to on FM, XM and Sirius wouldn't have a business plan.
2) Removable battery? That is what is supposed to kill the iPod? Huhn? How about UI? Is that any good? How do I sync it to my music Library? Historically Creative sucks at this kind of thing...
There was a time when Linux was the OS used to breathe new life into old machines. It was understood, and well accepted.
Why this has changed, I don't know.
I have a beige G3 500 that can't run OS X 10.3 (haven't checked the last version of XPostFacto...), and 10.0 thru 10.2 are pretty dog slow on it. Ubuntu/YDL/Mandrake give me alternatives. And alternatives are good.
Just as a side note, this same model (no root login, all access is through sudo by default) is being used by Ubuntu (desktop oriented Linux distro based on Debian).
There have been increased brute force attacks on ssh from the "outside world" at my place of business. Having no login for 'root' is good under those circumstances. Now the k|ddi35 need to guess an account as well...
I think the ultimate irony would be running it on a Dell Axim. I hope that one thought keeps Michael Dell having dreams of men in jeans and black turtle necks chasing him...
I think most Gentoo evangelists think the motto of Gentoo is "As tough as possible. Hardcore geeks only."
But the odd thing is that the forums are a very friendly place, not l33t at all. I have found answers to my problems once or twice in gentoo forums (via google), even though I run a different distro. If nothing else, that validates the project in my eyes.
In general, endangered species get "help" based largely on their photogenic quality (e.g. the sea otters during the Exon Valdez oil spill). Snails and toads just don't cut it.
How does this pertain to anything? Well with the beach erosion being caused by these hurricanes, where will all the bikini clad beach bunnies go?
Just shot a glance at suprnova and there are some torrents posted already, but the tracker is one you have to "sign up" with...not worth it IMHO, goes against the whole "information wants to be free" slashdot standard.
If someone else gets them and puts them out on a free tracker, let us know.
Probably some argument along the lines that made e-mail clients render HTML...

Not being a windows user this may sound silly, but is there anything in the EULA that says that Microsoft agress to supply patches? Or even mentions a timely manner?
Or are they patching software as a matter of being (in their eyes) "good citizens"?
ROOTS Find polynomial roots.
ROOTS(C) computes the roots of the polynomial whose coefficients
are the elements of the vector C. If C has N+1 components,
the polynomial is C(1)*X^N +... + C(N)*X + C(N+1).
I highly doubt that a ported.NET app is going to follow the HIG that most mac apps adhere to.
To my eye, it's just a subtle attempt to put a nail in the coffin of JAVA. Take away it's original purpose of "write once, run anywhere"...or how about Sun getting on the band wagon with "JAVA now with.NETty goodness!".

You sure it's not just because people are spending more time in their cars? That would be called a "captive audience".

Does nautilus still set the desktop background in Gnome?
Man that used to bug the hell out of me that the file manager was doing it...talk about getting things muddled up! What was wrong with xsetroot?
As an inhabitant of a country that makes great beers, I have to say I find this highly appaling.

I picture big frickin' skis for landing gear... Then it could land pretty much where ever it wanted!
Hell, for $500,000,000 you could just crash it, then pay Australia to come pick you up!
Speaking of MIT, why hasn't anyone mentioned the MIT lock picking guide ?
All I can say, is based on those statistics: Camino is a better browser than wget.

That's oddd...they just released another update on 8/15/2004 - under the name TexMaker...
I was about to recommend TexMaker, but that too is built with Qt...
Do you not think that the left uses these same tools?
Umm, yeah...that's why John Edwards at the Democratic National Convention had people chanting with him:
"Hope is on the way."
Obviously he's part of the fear-mongering crowd.
I guess I misunderstood the role of democratically elected leaders.
I was under the assumption that they were suppose to represent us. Not do whatever the hell they want.
My bad.
I am hoping that we have as much guts as the Spanish who had the guts to throw out a government that kept lying to them...
You know, America, home of the brave?
It says to me that compiler flags matter a lot! ...oops, maybe those Gentoo zealots are onto something!
whoa! there buckaroo. I offer these fine examples:
Tora! Tora! Tora!

Never let reality interfere with a good story line.
Maybe part of the point is that Cocoa has many of the useful classes already implemented for you...while elsewhere you have to roll your own.
