I have made the conscious descision to never EVER buy another sony product again, whether a CD, movie, TV, or any other sony product, no matter what it is.
I have decided i will officially boycott sony for life due to Mr. Steve Hecklers comments.
His comments have to be the most outrageous i have ever heard, and it totally disgusts me that his only interest is his very profit.
I hope other fellow slashdotters feel the same way.
We, the people, will firewall YOU off. We will refuse to buy your music. We will boycott you. We will route around you. We will make you irrelevant.
No more will you rape the consumers and the artists, taking 95% of the profit for your own pocket while people are out there starving to death, trying to make a living.
You are not the information creators. You will not be the information and content providers. You will be made obsolete.
Netscape is total crap, and Mozilla M15 runs like a dog. And this is on a Dual PIII-500 w/192mb ram !!!
(I'm not even gonna mention how mozilla runs on my P166 Laptop w/32mb ram, except that it took 10 minutes to start!)
I'm really looking forward to improvements in Mozilla, and hopefully by M16/M17 it will be faster and more usable (at least the crashing has gone away), but IE for FreeBSD (and Linux) would be pretty good. ATM it is the only decent browser available.
The chances of this happening, however, is slim. MS apparently refuses to develop software for alternative OS's that run on x86. (Maybe FreeBSD/Alpha, FreeBSD/ppc and FreeBSD/IA64 have a chance...)
I've been using the IEEE 802.11 2mbit WaveLAN cards for some time now on FreeBSD and Win9x.
They work absolutely great. I got a WaveLAN in a ISA->PCMCIA adapter in my FreeBSD router, and the other WaveLAN in my laptop which gives me the freedom to roam around the house, or go outside, and still be on the 'net.
I'm surprised Linux is only just now getting proper wireless support ? Has it had IEEE 802.11 WaveLAN support at all? I did install Slackware7 on my laptop for a few days, and pccardd does identify my card. But it never worked ?
I'm preparing to setup a wireless link over 2 to 3km's (2 miles) to my uncles place, who has a real big LAN setup at home:) (look up 'diskiller' on Ebay and look at the stuff we've been buying;). Actually, if you do the research, the appropriate antenna don't cost much at all to cover distances ~2km. Once you get to 6km+ distances the cost goes through the roof.
So fellow geeks. Network up, and enjoy permanent links to your fellow geeks 'round the city:)
BTW, i'm from Austalia, its much cheaper here to use WaveLAN's to setup links between branches, offices, etc, then hire out DSL, Frame Relay, and other such lines from telco's.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this what SSH and SSH2 do?
SSH2 also supports x11 forwarding and port forwarding so you can stream other things (such as IRC and Web browsing) all through a compressed and encrypted channel, using 3des, blowfish, twofish, rc4, etc...
There are Windows Clients (SecureCRT, F-secure) as well as the Unix clients, ssh, ssh2, OpenSSH, etc.

I would also like to add,

Mark my words.
diskiller.
Yeah, thanks.

I think i'll just wait till its nicely tarballed too.
I tried CVS several times before, and its always blown up on me ?
Where is the M17 source? Its not on the download page.
:(
I can't compile a FreeBSD binary
I hate to say it ... but this is a good idea.

I'm doing a 4 year University degree in "Software Engineering".
Thats the title of the course. It is Engineering. And we do Software.
Sorry, but your wrong.

What your talking about is already being done.

COSM is what distributed.net was meant to be. Adam (Distributed.net founder!) left D.net so his work on cosm would continue unhindered.
If your a programmer, go help them out. At least check out their webpage for more detailed information.
