How could a truckdriver use that while driving?? The only way I think this can be possible is that the "Navitron Auto-Drive System" that Homer Simpson found in Red's truck was not a product of Matt Groenig's imagination!! Excellent!! I uncovered the truck drivers scam!!
Outdated. The news is not that Solaris comes to PC, it has been there for quite a few years now. In my University (www.fing.edu.uy) we've using it on Dell machines with that beautiful CDE desktop. Misunderstanding the story, and trying to make that joke brings you down from +5 Funny to -1 Lame, at least for me.
He was modded as flamebait only because he thinks differently from the moderators. The guy was just answering to a question of why he uses Darwin, "I think Linux sucks" is a concise answer, in fact, stating why he doesn't like Linux is fairly OT. You have to support your opinion when it is the main concept in your post. If you had to back up recursively every statement you made in a post, it would be quite a long post, and OT too. And in an ideal slashdot, people should not worry about avoiding bad moderation, but about the quality of their post, good moderation should follow. Don't change the way you post, educate the moderators. Well, maybe I should be modded OT anyway. Feel free.
About the 2 keyboards and 2 mouses on one machine... Did you set that up? I couldn't find resources anywhere, and wanted to see _one_ success story before buying a USB keyboard. Do you have any resources about that setup? XF86Config?? something??
Dual licensing sounds good, but in that case, GPL _and_ a paid license for people who want to link with proprietary code, and such. That way, everyone contributes, who uses the GPL is encouraged to contribute back his work, and the one who pays is paying back the cost of the GPL-ed code.
Anyway, I don live in the US, and here in Uruguay, government funded research is nearly a non-issue. Good luck with that.
I mean that is why they are 3rd/underdeveloped right, because they can't do it them selves?
Wrong!! underdeveloped contries are so because their people were in the worng place at the wrong time. for example, Argentina, or Uruguay has good professionals who have to go work all around the world and cant get a job in the region. There is lack of money, not lack of knowledge.
There are 15-Dollar spill-free keyboards, and evennthose which dont claim to be, are moderately resistant to water (open it and see for yourself). Anyway, if it could get wet and break, you would just buy another one, and still be saving money compared to buying an expensive keyboard.
IANAMD, but I think rejection is not due to the organ being different to the removed one, but to the presence of some protein(?!), or some compound being harmful and its absence being innocuous. More similar to the blood transfusion problems, where there is a universal donor, because the problem is the presence of some RH factor or A, B antibody(!?).
In fact, there is prior art to "watch up the ass", at least the "up the ass" part was demonstrated by Henri "Papillon" Charriere. There is even a movie with Steve Mc Queen and Dustin Hoffman, I Think.
Linus is not for free software? Then why the hell did he release his code under the GPL?
I apologize, I wrote "free software", when I was thinking about "copylefted software", making an awful mistake, and starting a new thread of rants about how a nice guy Linus is, and how bad RMS's hair looks.
Linus does like free software, but he likes features more than freedom, and those are not the ideals of the FSF. So Linus is not a good spokesperson for the FSF ideals. So they need to speak for themselves. So they need to develop their own kernel, because people think that if you develop the kernel, you developed the OS, at least when we are talking about GNU/Linux. So it makes sense to develop the Hurd, in a non-technical way, and from the point of view of the FSF.
Linux is an ancient design in kernels, mach+the hurd is, at least, a more elegant approach to kernels. That is the technical reason.
The non-technical reason is that, although free, Linux' most important developer, Linux Torvalds, does not stand for free software. That has for example the disadvantages that non-free software is needed to develop Linux, or that he does not help with the naming problem of the GNU/Linux OS.
If the FSF wants to spread their views they need control over the whole GNU project, if people think that the person who makes the kernel is the one they should listen to, then the FSF needs to make their own kernel to be heard.
It is hard to write it in English, in Spanish we usually spell it, but RMS said , when at a conference here in Montevideo City Hall, that it should be pronnounced G-NU, with a hard "G", and a short (?) "U", wich would also be the right way to pronnounce it in Spanish, if it didn't sound so awkward.
By the way, he got in an argument with the hosts, which were the Uruguayan Linux User Group (uylug) that I think changed their name after that, and spent some of his time correcting t-shirts with a black marker.
GNU Law #1: Never, ever, pass by an opportunity to turn the conversation toward our particular political and social agenda. And don't be ashamed to really stretch to make the connection, either.
The main goal of the GNU project is social and political, not technical, they do not want a better software in the technical meaning, they want a better software in the sense that it gives more freedom to the user.
Not being a speaker of Spanish, it looks to me like this example is just using "con" as a conjunction, like saying "GNU and Linux."
Being a Spanish speaker, that means GNU with Linux. Of course, they wouldn't use it if it didn't support their views. Next time, given the doubt, you might want to use the fish, which says "All this is curro, but between all we could remove GNU with Linux... ehr... I say Rome with Santiago... ", which is a somewhat good translation.
In fact, VRML has not always sucked. There are, at least from a couple of years ago, a couple of D3D and OpenGL browsers, blaxxun3dblaxxun3d and cortona from parallelgraphics.com. Cortona even has a realtime Phong renderer, and environmental mapping extensions. The real problem with VRML has been the lack of 3d capabilities in most computers what keeps it from being usable as an advertising medium. That, plus the facts that it is very difficult to author a 3d model that can be rendered _real time_ (unlike Quake, which uses pre-rendered maps ), and there is no one to sponsor it. Anyway, X3D , the reincarnation of VRML, is being actively worked on , and it will become mainstream when mainstream computers get real 3D power.
I believe you are using a commercial OS, so there must be a way they can help you. At least I think a great support system must be reason you are paying for your OS, isn't it?

But in either case, shooting down a shell in flight is really nothing new. The Brits had Sea Dart back in the Falklands,
Not the Falklands, Las Malvinas.

The best you can do is a google search for thesource ofallevil
and you might see something familiar near the top.
For the sake of us outside the US, just how big is a quarter, anyway?
It should be 1.014 the size of a quarter-euro, if size matters.
i used to do these when i was in jr high. minus the ass part though.
Or was it the other way around?
In the first lines of his article, he says that it time to improve the design processor, besides its raw power.
right in front of Florida!!
If you find a substitute for oil, you can leave the mideast alone, and use another fuel that you can buy from your neighbours... hm... nevermind

I dont know why the parent is modded down, that _is_ the US way to settle an argument, as we all can see.

Many of the IBM keyboards (at least PS/2 type) were made by Lexmark.
The researchers promise they'll beat out DVD by an order of magnitude.
An order of magnitude in a binary system? hexa? octa? unary?
