Let's make some basic assumptions that the Dreamcast owners with the desire and/or technical expertise to setup Linux on the console comprise about 0.01% of the DC owners. 4,000,000 * 0.0001 = 400.

Too bad I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it.
Some things I tried though were a re-install Office and uninstall the Windows Installer and re-installing the latest version of it.
I think one or both of those things fixed it. If I remember correctly though, the problem was caused by my deleting of the Office folder without uninstalling it.
Why should I use Gentoo? Really. Is there some huge feature comparison matrix for all the different distros? Is there really any major innovation between distros?
I don't run *nix that much. I have a dual boot at home for Mandrake 8.2 and W2K. Do different distros really only matter to the elite linux hackers?
They claim that they're going to introduced controlled disturbances that the human eye can't see, but a digital device would, like the sync lines you see when recording a TV screen.
So wouldn't it be possible to record at double the frame rate and eliminate the bad frames? Or if it's just a preprogrammed watermarking technique, strip it out?
From what I hear, there may be a new SETI@Home client that will also scan slashdot stories for traces of intelligent life. Early beta testing has not found anything yet. It is being assumed that several petahertz of computational power will be required to detect such anomalies.
I'm just bustin your chops. But you don't have a TV? Or you don't have a console? Anyways, eBay is a great place to find cheap consoles on games for them too.
Ohhhhh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Your parents must have been really terrible, I mean for you to become a DBA and all.
Let's make this the last post before you hurt yourself trying to think up all these dumb-ass responses.
DISCLAIMER: I don't normally flame, but when people absolutely insist on trying to have an intelligent opinion on something they know nothing about and won't admit it, I just really get annoyed. But I guess that just means I'm a bad parent.
I'm in front of a computer for the 728th week straight. What's your point? You probably spend a good deal of time in front of the computer too, hence the/. account. Who freaking cares? Who says it's wrong to spend your time doing a completely legal activity.
I have a 4 year old son. He spent about 3 weeks playing games on the computer. He spent another 4 playing Mario 64, and another 2 playing Zelda 64. Now he's tired of playing video games. Guess what, his brain didn't fall out, he isn't wandering the street with a loaded shotgun, and he's not out smoking on the street corners. Everybodies different, you do realize that right? You also realize that they're different because of different life experiences right?
Final point: children learn SOMETHING from EVERYTHING.
Wrong. Being a bad parent would be not even knowing what your kid has been doing for the last two weeks. This guy knows. And if you force a kid to stop whatever they are doing for no good reason other than "because so elite said so" then they're just going to get pissed off at you and nothing's solved. Then the kid's going to be angry and forced to find something else fun to do before he was prepared to which sounds like a good path toward all sorts of problematic behavior.
You sound like you don't have kids yourself and you're one of the armchair parents like the ones that run this country. You know the type, the ones that think that they should have complete control over the raising of every child in the country yet can't manage their own family.

It will only be the extreme members of society that will influence decision making
You mean the way it is now? *cough* Ashcroft.
LOL, I should have known better.

Too bad though, she was hot.
So, how good looking are the Linux girls?
Their users are much better looking that the Apple ones.
I guess the real question would be what is the definition of non-profit:
Those that are committed to strictly working at cost
Or, those that can only make enough to break even depsite how often they run banners for Visual Studio.
Hehe, sorry. Didn't mean to kill your hopes of a bright future for the Dreamcast ;)
I was right, it would take someone very geeky. Like one of the first 3,800 people to get a /. account :)

Be's most exciting innovations that other systems are just starting to add support for (according to the article):
Multi-threading
Stability
MIME Types
Being able to open JPEG files
Biggest downside:
Doesn't support USB.
I don't know what he was using for a comparison but I would assume something console based from MS, circa 1988.

Would you to start the IIS hacking wizard?
Would you like to view a list of the top 1,000 exploits?
Never show this prompt again, its already too easy to hack IIS.

Sir, the missile headed for the terrorist traing camp is changing it's coordinates! It looks like it's targeting the house of a Kazaa user.

So you're son isn't allowed to play Quake because it's "bad", but you have no problem utilizing father/son bonding time to download warez?
Hmmm, violence = "bad", stealing = "good". Oooh, oooh, I know, you're training your son to be a TV evangelist!

Seriously. My GF has used ours to take pictures of the monitor when 98 locked up while she was writing letters.
A 2MP should probably work just fine, and if you have a laptop with you, just upload them, erase the card and grab another x pages.
Does McAffee still allow free access to all their software by logging with with abc:123?
