I would MUCH rather grab linux-base-2.4.18.tar.bz2 and linux-i386-2.4.18.tar.bz2. Possibly break it up even further... I don't need or want SCSI drivers Video4Linux, ISDN support, etc, etc. Why not a simple utility similar to make xconfig that not only configures your kernel, but downloads the neccesary subsystems to your tree. This could also be used to patch for new releases. Just hit the "Upgrade" button and your hard drive grinds for a few seconds and spits out a shiny new kernel.
This could even automate the process of checking signatures, similar to Ximian's Red Carpet. I know I never bother to check when I download from kernel.org or mirrors, but if the utility that downloads automagically does it, those that are worried about j03 h@x0r putting up a rogue mirror will be that much more likely to use the mirrors.
Did the poster imply that Redhat is Linux and Linux is Redhat? No. The poster simply stated that there would be a slew of DRM software available for Linux, which would include Redhat.
I do most of those things on my RR account with no problems. And as for the alt.binaries thing, if they didn't want you to get it, I doubt they would waste the disk space and bandwidth to provide it on their usenet servers (which seem pretty damn good, at least here in the milwaukee area.)
The difference is, when slashdot gets cracked, no one really cares, cause the comments are all thats here, and they are 90% crap. Thats like not locking up your outhouse, sure they can get in there, but its nothing but shit in a hole!
yes, it does.
now lets type some randome crap so i dont see that damn cowboy message.
Slow down, cowboy! It sounds like a line from some gay pr0n. Ok, thats twenty seconds or so.
Anyone remember GEOS for the Commie64? Windowing system, word processor, paint program, etc. On two disks. If you flipped the first one, you got QuantumLink, an online service.
Strangly enough, I found my GEOS disks about a year ago and dialed their customer service number and got AOL... coincidence or not?
I didn't sign the damned Bill of Rights, and I will search whoever the fuck I want on the way into my house. If you don't like it, use your own private property.
Grah! Like a dumbass, I hacked mozilla's config.ini to be the same as the one I use normally, but made a typo and broke the sumbitch... looks like a bug report is in order over there:)
I just got 7.2 installed (new install on a spare partition) and now I get all sorts of GTK and Glib errors and death by segfault for the latest mozilla-sea installer.
As far as I know I have all the compat- and -devel rpms installed.
Anyone else run into this or have any suggestions?
I use my SpeedPass at McD's all the time. The SpeedPass reader is attatched to a normal VeriFone POS terminal. McD's all over the northern suburbs of Chicago have them.
I normally would agree with you here, but half the time the POS POS terminal (its a pun hahaha) won't read my card and they have to key it by hand.
PS: It's been only one minute since I last posted, so I get to sit here and wait. Anyone else pining for the days of 15 updates a day and 50 comments on a story being a big deal? Before logins, before moderation, before useless customization... memories
Do the same thing I do with the pizza guy: When you order it, give em your credit card number, sign the receipt when the guy gives you the food. There is even a little line where you can write in the tip. If they are resonably up to date, they have your number on file after the first order. Then all you do is give them your name and the last four digits of your Visa.
I don't have a link to this, but I have seen a newsreel on TCM or something called "Hitler's Phony Fivers" about the discovery of a large cache of counterfeit 5 pound notes after WWII.
They have They Might Be Giants, and thats good enough for me. They had TMBG's entire new album there six weeks before it was in the store, but I still have a copy coming from Amazon.
Am I the only one who feels like a dickhead playing an mp3 sourced CDR of a band I love?
My wife was really looking forward to this game. I can just see the red double-minus over her head and the little breaking heart icon as she kicks my ass out to the couch tonight.
"Don't kill the messenger" is not how she operates, especially when it comes to computer games.
One thing that definitly IS wrong with it: animated AOL ads top and bottom.
As far as features go, I would prefer it had LESS bells and whistles. I really don't need a "buddy icon," news and stock tickers, or a "games center."
The only additional feature I would like to see is text commands like IRC. I don't know how many times I've confused a non-technical friend by typing/quit or something to that effect.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm not too familiar with gnutella, but I for one am not going to run ANY p2p apps as root...
At least yours RUNS... mine displays the splash screen then segfaults.
Give that (wo)man a cigar... and some karma!

I ate there three days ago... belive me, I am NOT the only one who is still experiencing it.
The only difference for most of us is that the giver is first, and it loads much faster.
thats your bios. flash yerself a new one

I'm pretty sure there is a Pokemonopoly, right next to NFL Monopoly, NASCAR Monopoly, internet Monopoly, and all the rest.
