Wow, rely on the airplanes to report their positions. Wouldn't it be fun for a trouble maker (or another country) to broadcast phony positions? Geeze, there weren't 500 planes in my airspace a minute ago. Maybe they'll have to sign the data (shouldn't be too hard to keep everyone's public key:).
Hmmm... are you sure you're looking at the sun? To verify, use a pair of binoculars and try to eye a big sunspot 100 time larger than earth. Report back.
I've been hosting my personal site on linux/freebsd for 1.5 years.
I have never had (at least noticed) QA problems with:
- Apache/PHP/Perl
- Sendmail
- Pine
- vi
I *have* had problems with the following:
- Windows
- MS Office
- Almost every 3d card drivers
- Creative lab drivers
- HP *
- Bob's linux driver for my TV tuner card
How can I argue that more QA isn't better? But I really couldn't ask for any better QA than what I've seen on my "production" machines. It seems the number of QA problems I have with a product is proportional to the cost of the product. It directly follows that OSS doesn't need better QA.
I can't believe UCLA is siding with the man on the street. When I lived there, I wasn't allowed to run linux in the dorms (no servers... except winblows file sharing, of course). Not sure what their policy is now (I think you have to be questioned and fill out some forms now)

To install Joe's program, you need Bob's kernel hack, but for Bob's kernel hack, you've got to have Suzy's patches, but Suzy's patches only work with a year-old kernel, unless you get Mike's patches to Suzy's patches, but even then, those conflict with Jeff's drivers, which can be resolved only by installing Nancy's patches...
I don't see why they don't just give the software away for free... of course, instead of a "cd key", you'd be required to enter a credit card number. Charge at time of install.
I LOVE eudora. I still use v2.2, which works wonderfully (obviously for windows). It's stable, small, can me moved to another machine my just copying the directory, emails are saved in a text database. It's been holding all my emails for the past 4 years! (not to mention the lack of all that javascript/html/hyperlink BS)
What console email program can I use for Linux that has similar good features? I use pine to check email before it get's POPped to Eudora, but I don't think pine would cut it with 4 years worth of email.
one of the biggest reasons is the astounding cost of a site license for Microsoft products
I've found that most Microsoft products will install on as many machines as you want... you can even reuse the "cd key." Been doing it at my company and home for years and nobody seems to mind.
No to worry, Taco, I'm sure nobody here will believe that we are pointing fingers at the guy who "blatantly ripped off" linux.com. I propose -- and I want to make this perfectly clear that this proposal is not fact, merely a theory -- that there is some hope here that the so-called "slashdot affect" will bring his x.resnet.x.edu site down?

Does GPS report altitude?

Plus, it's funny.

Sure... I'll pass out fake coins that work in vending machines. You can do something illegal with them if _you_ want to.
Perhaps this is the backend for your DeCSS based DVD Jukebox?
I rate your mention of "DeCSS based" (0, MPAA_Flaimbait).
Unless, of course, you're just trying to impress the world with our h4x0r skills... then I rate it (0, Offtopic).
No kidding

If there is a mistake, well, you should have used the Preview button!
Does it still cost $450 for a Palm VII? Bring that price down to $100 and I'll be happy to purchase your OS upgrade.

I LOVE rpm! What could be easier than rpm -Uvh file.rpm?
If it doesn't say ".rpm", I won't install it.
Not only will this slow HDTV adoptance even more, but it will make a lot of existing sets incompatible with formats.
You forgot "this will slow piracy."

Hey, I just found a site that has some "how to secure your machine" info.
Can someone tell me how I go about getting it posted on Slashdot?

Are those like Favorites?

For a second there, I thought it said "Dragonballz"

Well, then something wasn't proper.
I've been running my webserver on Bughat since 6.x came out and even ran piglet (6.2 beta) for awhile and I've never been rooted.
Oh yes... if you have never been rooted, then I must have done something wrong!
