Well, I doubt if painting can evolve any furhter. Modern perspective use has been around for centuries. Recent art techniques seems to be more of a devolution. Many modern techniques are purposefully ignored to try and create something new.
Photography has not really advanced in the last ten years. Sure some equipement has gotten better, but do you really expect some to take a better photograph than Ansel Adams?
Architecture only advances as our other sciences advance, primarily materials science. The Pyramids are still marvels today. The only man-made structure you can with the naked eye from orbit is the Great Wall of China.
A deadbolt is usually sufficient but it does not really matter.
Take your typical wood frame house, the door frame is just made out of wood. A decent circular saw (which is now common to get decent powered cordless ones) will cut out the whole door frame in under a minute. Do you really think popping the hinge bolts would be any faster?
That and one of his complaints was completely off base.
In many regions, fire code regulations require doors to open outwards. Besides he complained about wall color. I know plenty of people choose odd (or hideous) colors for thier house.
Well, seeing how ND grows wheat and not much else while Florida produces much of the US's winter produce as well as most of the Oranges and a major sugar producer, I don't think you have to worry about farmers not being rperesented.
But the issue we are talking about is the President who is suspose to represent the whole country not individual congressmen.
Perhaps you are forgetting the various BSD's? There are more webservers beyond Apache; try Xitami, Savant, or Boa.
About the only F/OSS software that stands alone is Tex, and instead of competing projects it has other software tha builds atop it like LaTex and Lyx. Heck, even core GNU utils like 'ls' have replacements in busybox.
I'm betting there is some specific closed source Enterprise software that interoperates with the Netscape Directory. Red Hat probably intend for the Netscpae directory to continue to be delivered with this software but did not want the permissiveness of the LGPL so everyone and thier dog could leech off thier work.
We were in a minor Ice Age up to about 1850. From what they can tell, the sun was not radiating as hotly. Sure you gort the right time frame there? A thousand years ago the planet was significantly hotter.
Apt is available for RPM based distros. There are other utilities as well like Mandrake's urpmi.
On themeing, Red Hat's Bluecurve and Mandrake's Galaxy themes do what you want. I just tested it with Kword and Abiword under Galaxy and they look very similar. Sure there are diferences but no more of a difference than if you had MS Word and Wordperfect on Windows.
Man pages are fine. They are not meant for the clueless newb. They are meant for a more experienced user.
There are two non-profit organizations ideally setup to handle this. One is FSF and the other is OSDL. FSF is actually a better choice as they are more closely aligned with the goals of LinuxFund. If FSF would leave the name alone, i would whole heartedly support them.
Except that such a proposal would be following the wishes of those that donated the money. Basically LinuxFund gave grants to people working on a F/OSS project. Such proposals would still be used towards the same thing.
As an actual LinuxFund card holder, I can comment on where the money should go. Give it to some Linux related project. I would think it would make sense for OSDL to step up and administer the Fund. Or for FSF step up and administer it (so long as my new card does not say GNU/LinuxFund). Either would be acceptable to me.
Cripes, I would do it myself, but I think one of the existing non-profits would be better for this sort of thing.
The iLink port was used for head-head console gaming. A few Multiplayer games supported it.
A few flight sims games supported a USB joystick specially designed for the PS2.
I always found it strange that the USB designed PS2 devices would work on the PC but the exact smae device the had a PC label would not work on the PS2.
In another post in this topic I did a price comparison on cost of electricity for a CRT and LCD. Assuming 8 hrs a day usage and $.05 kWh, it only takes a few years for the LCD to end up being cheaper than the CRT. There is about a 100W difference between CRT and LCD.
A 16ms response time is good enough and is common now. The Contrast ratios are about as good as mid-range CRT's. The difference in price when you compare viewable area is only about $100. The lower wattage use of an LCD will make up the difference in about 1-3 years.
The point of DVDROM is that they are basically as fast as CDROM (the difference between 48x and 52x is nothing). The price difference is $11. Of course you can get DVDRW drive for about as cheap as a DVDROM. The point was there used to be a significant difference speed wise between DVD and CD. Now there is a negligible speed difference and a price difference measured in a couple hours wage.
Wrong size comparison. 19"/20" LCd is comparable to a 21" CRT. A 17"/18" LCD is about the same viewable area as a 19" CRT. There is a $78 difference between a 17" LCD and a 19" CRT. And that was comparing brand new LCD to Refurbished CRT.
Wrong. Go above the recomended res on a CRT and it looks like crap. Alos LCD can interpolate res that are and even factor of the native res. So a 1600x1200 LCd will display at 800x600 and be remarkably sharp. Unfortunately the more common 1280x1024 is a 5:4 aspect ratio and there are no compatble lower resolutions.
Well, Costco only seems to have some pretty quality stuff. I just bought a Xerox XG91D and it is beautiful.
There is a noticeable lack of sharpness when not at its native res but nowhere near as bad as my CRT when I went above its sweetspot in Res. My old 17" CRT could do 1600x1200 but looked like crap if it went above 1152x864. I look at the tiny bit of fuzziness when I play games at 1024x768 to be free AA.
Assuming $0.05kWh and a 100W differential, You are looking at about $15 more if it is used 8 hours a day every day for a year. It is even greater if your electricity is more expensive.
Looking at Price wathc and not choosing the very cheapest monitor, there is about a $60 dollar difference from a 19" LCD and 21" CRT (Viewable area will be very comparable). Four years and the cost of the CRT and LCD is the same. If you were in California, an LCD would probably be cheaper after only 3 years and using it 5 days a week. More realistic high quality Monitors rather than the absolute cheapest possible will be pretty comparably priced so the TCO of the LCD would be cheaper.
Color reproducibility is better on an LCD. Colors change on a CRT over time. They pretty much don't on an LCD. The newest generation LCD with 16ms response or better also have a lot better color, contrast, and blackness.
It only matters if the the redirectors get "common carrier" status legally. If they don't then it doesn't matter if the end person is hidden, a bunch of people get screwed.
This is really only helpful in mildly oppressive regimes. Say if France bans "Mein Kompf"*, and you want to read you could download it through rodi and avoid being caught with contraband Nazi stuff. but just being a rodi client in say China, would be enough to single you out.
*I have no idea if France actually censors "Mein Kompf", but would be not much of a strecth if they actually did. If you prefer replace Anarchist Cookbook and FBI if you prefer.

I am all in favor of abolishing the electoral college. Why on a percentage basis should a vote from North Dakota be worth more than mine from Florida?
Also we need to have a transparent voting process. No more black box voting machines. We need to be able to independently audit the vote.
Though, you are stupid to use your work email to send something along the lines of: "Did you pick up the handcuffs and the whip?" to your SO.
You can get Laser printers pretty darn cheap now. Samsung has one for $150 that is proudly proclaimed to work with Linux.

CRT's will last longer. A typical quality CRT will last 5-10 years on average. An LCD backlight will burn out in 4-5 years.
The GNOME and KDE folks will file a patent on calling a desktop icon "Computer" and sue Microsoft. Now that would be funny.

That only works legally if you have common carrier status for forwarding on material.
