ok so it may not be the latest bleeding edge 3d first person whatever... but at least there are some hackers out there giving it thier all! i'm not one to really put down CT, but man wtf are you thinking? i'm willing to be lots of time was put into what they have now, and since it is open source it can only get better. Next time you release an internet playable RPG let me know.
You wrote on slashdot to be heard (as did i). take it as a complemet that YOUR WORDS will be used to tell OUR side of the story. if you're scared you parents are going to see this and question you about it, get past it and grow up. if you need help get it. if not stfu
Argh when are the problems with the gui going to be fixed? any time i try to put in a URL the entire thing turns to shit and i cannot even see what i'm typing. i'm sticking to netscape 4.08 till this works... (i'm on slack7 with kde)
Look i've had enough of this wave (bad pun sorry..) that the media has created targeting the young, depressed outcast. Has anyone ever thought to just leave us alone?!?!? While i was in high school i was one of those kids who was an outcast. i wore (and i still wear) all black and sat in front of a computer for at least 6 hours a day. i was constantly depressed (and as it turns out i'm bipolar) and alot of the time suicidal. The only things that have changed are my age, education and i sit in front of a computer for 12+ hours a day. I carry my gerber tool and gerber ez-open knife. does this make me dangerous? All these kids want is to be left alone so they can code or game or do whatever it is that lets them escape from the shithole they probably deal with everyday. the absolute worst thing you could do to them is to herd them in and force more public harasment onto them, let along reward the punk-ass jocks who will cash in on these kids being different.
Ever since columbine i have tried to keep a level head about this entire situation. But now i've had it. Just try and turn me in... i dare you.
I've had a dvd player for a little while and i'm super happy with it. the only things i haven't been able to skip are the FBI warnings in the begining of the movie. I have yet to run into a dvd with ads for burger king or anything yet so i wouldn't worry aobut it too much. Hell i've yet to see previews for OTHER movies on a dvd yet.
First i must say it was great meeting you at LinuxWorld!
Now for the serious question!
now that BSDi and Walnut Creek are merging and Slackware is spinning off into it's own company, will Slackware continue to be the company where you can meet it's president/head/whatever at expos and such?
imho, that seriously gave slackware a huge edge over the "commercial" linux distro and the militant (did i say that?) debian folks.
also: any job openings?;) i had also spoken with you about a sparc port of slackware, and you had told me you couldn't because you needed an sbus frame buffer. please let me know if you still need this!
Just want to pass along to you all that webservepro is on of the best webhosting companies around. what really got me is that They actualy answer the phone!. they run a linux based shop (not sure what distro), thier uptime is *really* good, and they have one hell of a tech support staff. check them out at http://webservepro.com/.
Roger Waters isn't as good with out pink floyd, and pink floyd isn't as good with out roger water *OR* syd...
I honestly think Roger Waters is just trying too hard to re capture the fame that came from The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon. And what better way to do that, than to use buzzwords.
*So despite the verbal fireworks and *philosophical disputes, we're all hackers *together. What unites us is more important than *what divides us. I think we all could learn a little from this. we are infact united against the same enemy (microsoft).
I've seen BWP 6 times and i have to say it was the most original movie that has come out in the past few years. I think the directors should do themselves a favor and NOT make a sequel (especally with some lame ass "more footage found" crap). Oh and for those in doubt it is all real, including the "myth".
Way back in 8th grade i had won a copy of Ender's Game from the school news paper and i have to say it is by far my favorite sci-fi book. As many others have already said the rest of the books were more grown up (i think i should re-read them actually), but i'm uber-excited for this new book!!!!!!!
IMHO... linux is a sucsessful hack job... but please don't get me wrong, i support all free/open source unix oses. Some are better than others in certain things (don't even get me started on OpenBSD and crypto... nothing else can even touch it)
Let's stop with these stupid, internal os holy wars. We're all in the same boat (be it BSD,Linux hell even HURD) and all against micro$oft.
Btw- yes FreeBSD has SMP and i believe Net and OpenBSD have it as well.
You know... it's not everyday something like this comes around. for years i had thought that i was almost totaly alone. High School and Middle School were an absolute nightmare for me. I was verbally and physically harrased DAILY because i am different. I dress in mostly black and listen to different music and love computers. No one ever understood this untill after i graduated high school. College is very different but i still feel quite alone (with the exception of one or two other people). mass media sucks and i think it will always suck.
Just keep this in mind... while all the jocks and so called "in" kids are working thier ditch digging blue collar jobs... we'll be kicking back programing or admining and having FUN while getting paid for it.

Good call :)

No kidding!!!!! it was a german movie though...
Guys this press release is dated March 10th! I'm sorry but i'm sure this was mentioned already here as well...
Nope i actually haven't bought tarzan. i never really wanted to anyway :)
I've had a dvd player for a little while and i'm super happy with it. the only things i haven't been able to skip are the FBI warnings in the begining of the movie.

this could all change of corse.
Have you all forgotten about the G4 7400 chips already? they can have up to *4* cores on each chip.
now all i need is a quad core-quad processor G4 and i can take over the world....
Hello Pat!

>I have a Redhat CD here. Does this mean I OWN
>Linux and can do whatever I want with it,
>licenses be damned?
Nope! that would have to be a Free/Net/OpenBSD cd on your desk if you wanted to do that.
Viva BSD!

Wasn't there some project called Unix98 or something that's goal was some kind of common binary format for all the major unix and unix-like oses?

...And the porn will follow ;)
What is/was your motivation to put out a Debian FreeBSD distro?

Woo Hoo! I just wish i could make it ;)

How can you say linux is more streamlined?!?!?
there are how many linux distros out there?

Whoa! i'm not crazy! i also remember those... if anyone knows where to still get those i'd really like to pick up a half dozen or so.
