Of course using an ad-blocking proxy is also theft...
So what, there is a legal obligation to do "GET/images/ad.gif HTTP/1.0" after every "GET / HTTP/1.0"? Using lynx on a new install when I haven't set up X yet is theft?
Putting something on the web at a public location is essentially dropping your pants for the world to see. If you go to Central Park and start flashing people, you can't assume there's some implicit rule that says that everyone that sees your winkle needs to give you a quarter. If you want to charge for it, hide it behind a door and charge for it. If you want to try to make some money by drawing eyes by giving away content for free, don't be amazed when people look away, it's an occupational hazard.

You're probably running into what a lot of people do, and trying to upgrade one RPM at a time. Stick them all in a directory, and do "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" and it will figure out all of the dependencies for you and install them all at once.
Right, and the people who went to Assembly are all the sceners in the world, eh? There are a couple of other continents out there, and not everyone can make it.
The scene has exploded so large that you just don't see the edges anymore. It's no longer a small group where everyone knows everyone else's name; the attendance at Assembly is a perfect example.
I did the same thing, and so far the only e-mail I've gotten is from one person who asked me to "send the e-mail to the proper abuse address". Freakin' idiot. If you'd admin'd your machine properly in the first place, you wouldn't have been getting e-mails from me!
Oh well, hopefully someone who's gotten an e-mail has done something about it. Not holding my breath though. =)
Already done it (well, not crashing, but I email hostmaster@their.domain), just do:
AddHandler cgi-script.ida
In your httpd.conf and make a little perl script or something called default.ida to log it. It's been great fun, shoulda been to bed hours ago, but I'm playing around with my script instead. =)

But us linux geeks already know where to get our info... maybe the "starting with linux" books are for us to give to non-believers... This sounds like the kind of book I should give my dad.
I run my own Jabber server, instead of using Jabber.com/Jabber.org, and other than getting it set up, I've had 0 problems with downtime... the period where ICQ was down for a week, mine was still working fine.
The whole point of Jabber is that it's not meant to be centralized. jabber.org and jabber.com are there more as *examples*, they're not meant for any real heavy use, other than being there as a convenience. The Jabber protocol is designed so that just like e-mail servers, every network provider (or user, if they so wish) has their own Jabber server, and they can all interoperate.
The instability is just a specific server's problem, not a jabber problem. =)
I already can. I set up a Jabber server with AIM, MSN, ICQ, and Yahoo support. When I log on I can get messages from any of the services in a single client right now. Jabber rules!
we now have the FDIC, which means that up to $100,000 of the money you have in the bank is insured by the full faith and credit of the US Government
So, then, how much of what you say will really make a difference? Why in the world should I trust I'll get my $100,000 back when the Fed screwed things up so much last time? Because I know we all trust the government to do the right thing, right? *cough* Social Security *cough*
I swear he's gonna pull an Asimov (see: Foundation). I went insane over the first book. I loved the 2nd. I eagerly awaited the third. I got the 4th right when it came out. I got the 5th one pretty early. (See where this is going?)
And now, well, now I just WANT IT TO END! Please, Mr. Jordan, stop opening new subplots. =)
I'm gonna second this... the PJB-100 is the only way to fly. And they've got a 30GB version on the way. At this rate I'll soon be able to put all 45GB of my collection on it. =)
One thing that really made me happy is to see that Sonic Foundry's two biggest products (Sound Forge and Acid) now support Ogg Vorbis natively in their newest incarnations. Lowers the bar for getting content creators to use it substantially; Sound Forge is the defacto standard in sound editing.
Or, since there are a number of music players that can play both Ogg and MP3, you could (gasp) not convert all that old music (heathen!), but rip to Ogg whenever you rip new music. Why exactly do they all have to be the same?
If you're streaming, you're probably re-encoding to a lower, streamable bitrate anyways (at least, I do, my on-disk MP3s are usually 192kbit VBR or higher, but my radio streams are 24kbit and 56kbit), so it doesn't matter what the source is.
If our world were to suddenly switch to the utopia of horseless carriages, which provide travel and faster delivery of goods and services to the common man, how many people would be out of paying jobs?
What of the blacksmiths who make horseshoes? And the tanners who make reins and tackle? Are we not dooming them to a life of poverty?
And this "electricity" thing. Won't this kill off the lucrative whaling industry? What price is progress! Down with Free Software! Join the amish!

Some guy's selling an entire stack of free expo passes for LinuxWorld here. I've currently got the top bid of a dollar, can't wait to go! =)

Lucky for us they caught it in time!
Oh, wait, they didn't. So what, did the NTBugTraq people hire some reporter to toot their horn for them or something?

So tell me, is there only so much attention to go around?
Stop keeping us in suspense!
No, no, by far the best Londo/G'Kar moment was stuck in the elevator.
Can anybody hear me? (I do!)

Those aren't kernel messages, those are init messages. Linus has no (direct :) control over those.
Aha! So I'm not the only one!

Well said brother and it's only $549 for 20gig.
Nope, it's only $468 now. =)

It is zipped, but those windows installers are already compressed (data1.cab, etc.), it only took about 10 or 20 meg off.
