You don't need the "near" after searching for a location. General searches such as "restaurants" are always "nearby", ie: they use the viewable area to narrow down the search by default.
the "my" is obviously a typo. the incorrect use of "peddling" (selling) instead of "pedaling" (pedal a bike using the pedals) is a genuine error of grammar (or vocabulary, IANALinguist [though i'd like to go back to school for it])
I like and use FrAPPy (FreeBSD, Apache, PostgreSQL, Python) and FrAPPe (FreeBSD, Apache, PostgreSQL, Perl)

why didn't the author think to utilize NYU's Coral content distribution network (covered here on/. just a couple weeks ago) to keep the bandwidth off diveintopython.org? Now it's too late, since Coral can't access the site to get it in the cache.

that's using FreeBSD kernel calls.
that's the smallest it'll be without doing ELF header tweaking like in that tiny binary tutorial.
actually, can save like 8 bytes by using just AL and not all of EAX to hold the syscall numbers.
now, if they said, do it without using the kernel, that would have been a challenge:P
FreeBSD and Darwin (OS X' open-source base OS, no Aqua GUI) don't share the kernel, though. Their relation is purely in user-land. Darwin uses a version of the Mach microkernel from CMU with FreeBSD's userland.
upon checking out a file from a CVS repository, require the person checking them out leave a little note as to why. probly applicable to entire modules as well.
in this country monopolies are not illegal. anti-competitive actions (like MS was doing) are. AOL has not done anything to prevent anyone from using competitors' products.
is this where the world is going? DeCSS, which opens the DVD format is illegal, but AOL can't keep it's proprietary format for IMs? fucking bullshit. Free (as in speech) stuff is cool, but double standards aren't.
many athletes drink alot of coffee before events (not things like marathons though, coffee is also a diuretic [makes you urinate more]) to help enhance performance. what happens when people can produce caffeine on their own. the original poster suggests syncing it to circadian rhythm (sleep/wake cycle). what if you synced it to your adrenal gland? gives a new meaning to getting pumped up for something. or caused it to be activated but muscle activity? say good by to muscle fatigue, although the chances of really overworking something increase exponentially. could "caffeine adapted" people be banned from sports? i owuldn't be suprised. (a bit OT -->) hell, the IOC won't even let oplymic coverage be broadcast on the net, not even real-time scores and stuff. so either the IOC has tech-phobia, or the networks have so much financial influence that they don't want to piss off the networks
if i have 4 different bus mastering devices on the PCI bus, won't they start fighting for control? also, not that that quote from the FAQ says "can _potentially_ free up the CPU". i have yet to see an improvement by using bus master drivers over normal drivers
A lot of people seems to think K-Meleon is a KDE/QT clone of Galeon. Umm, who decided that every app prefixed with a "K" must be for KDE? If you actually read the initial post and went to the page to get some info, you wouldn't sound like idiots. I know Slashdot is a Linux oriented area, but come on.
BTW, open-source can exist on Windows.

first off, i'm amazed it took them this long to notice anything. i've been commenting on weird weather for years. i live in New England, where weather isn't exactly consistent, but the weirdness is still noticable. for example, two straight weeks in the middle of august without more sunshine than a couple afternoons of "chance of sunshine" is definitely something noticable.
you can blame the factories and cars for the pollution, but who says this isn't the way it's supposed to be? maybe the dinosaurs died because the carnivores ate so many herbivores that the plantlife grew out of control, which produced so much O2 that the dinosaurs themselves couldn't cope with it (oxygen is a corrosive element after all). [note: this is a crazy hypothesis just to make a point. take it with a shaker full of grains of salt].
maybe we're supposed to "pollute" the atmosphere. maybe increased UV light will somehow cause us or some other creature on the planet to evolve into something better. who knows?
[note #2: i can also argue the otherside of this, but i feel technology IS evolution. since most people blame technology for the "pollution", even though technology is also helping to fix it, i'm not going too argue that right now]
every keeps saying that SMP isn't used so much because it has to be specifically coded for. what if we had a hugely SMP system with a VM that let Uni-Proc see the system as one single CPU. the massive parallelism (it that a word?) of the base system should enable the VM to run apps at a reasonable speed at least until native versions come along. now, i have no idea how this VM would be implemented, and from what i've read and heard, it probably isn't possible with current compiler technology, but that what the future is for! hell, if we have to, Screw backwards compatibility!!
actually they don't care. after we set up windows internet connection sharing (hey my dad won't let me put anything in front of his machine on the net), my dad asked them if it was ok, they said it was
Even though the "resolution" seems horrible, it's actually not too bad since TVs have round pixels. When watching movies with my VCR plugged into my TV-capture card, the picture is noticably blocky because of the square pixels of a computer display, even with 3/4 of a million of those square pixels (1024x768). The square pixels really show up when the image has stripes in it. Very annoying moire patterns. Now, anti-aliasing would fix this, but I have yet to see a consumer graphics card with FSAA for _2D_.
Round pixels are one of the reasons HDTV looks so good
slackware has a mini-distro called ZipSlack. it's made to run on UMSDOS on a ZipDrive, even a parallel. i use it for recovery, and as a portable linux for any machine with a ZipDrive (i created a DOS boot disk that runs iomega's guest.ese to find the ZipDrive, the i use loadin to boot the kernel from the Zip disk). but you can easily create a ext2 partition on a small drive and copy it over. it comes with a scsi kernel, gcc, the usual docs, many filesystem mods, and drivers for most NICs. if you want X, you can manually trim it down, and ditching GCC will save you a bunch of space if you don't need to recompile (or you could mount a drive with gcc and the sources on it, but i've never tried it before)
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD all have minimum install in about 60 megs or less, add X and you might hit 100 megs.
hmm, it looks to me like the Linux86 RPM (what the heck, i'll start using it) version from AOL is an exact (as possible) copy of the windows AIM client interface. it looks a whole lot (read almost perfect) copy of that, compared to GAIM looking sort of like it
patrick bumped up the numbers because of all the soon-to-be-linux-users asking why he was only on 4 when companies like red hat and mandrake were close to 7. since slackware was the first linux distro (before that you had to get everything on your own), you can really blame the "money distros" for screwing up the numbers.
except since 90% of Linux programs have source available, and most "mainstream" user programs are done without any platform-specific code, it's relatively easy to get the sources and compile a binary for your platform.
from what i've heard, WinME runs the win98 kernel, but it bootstraps itself, ie: it doesn't need command.com to get running. command.com is still there for access to the comamnd prompt, but the GUI loads itself. if any stability is gained, it's there. just one less level of thunking to do. win98 still loads command.com into ram (do start/run/"mem"), but winME doesn't, unless you tell it to open a command prompt
what does this have to do with gnutella? justin posted a little utility he wrote along with the source. OH MY!. if any here hasn't done that before, then there's something wrong. open source is about freedom AND education. maybe someone just getting started in programming networks could look at the NetMon source and learn something. there is no reason anyone should be ripping on anyone else's free, open source stuff. rip on the commercial crap that we pay good money to have crash on us!

You don't need the "near" after searching for a location. General searches such as "restaurants" are always "nearby", ie: they use the viewable area to narrow down the search by default.
Learn other languages to learn new ways of understanding. See Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.

definitely slackware, or *BSD.
