Tivo doesn't allow you to place your stored recordings onto a removable tape and take it with you. People like to collect stuff, and 30GB just isn't enough space to keep things permanently stored. The least they could do is put an ethernet card in the damned thing so that I could download my recordings to my PC.
This just goes to show you that people really +are+ smart... they know when their rights are being stripped from them, and they vote with their wallets to let the corps know just how much they don't like it. Microsoft will find this out Real Soon Now (TM)
One of the things that I don't like about KDE2 (and what looks to still be a problem in KDE3) is that the Kicker Panel is still not quite extensible enough. I know that you can do all kinds of cool things with it.. but just try moving it around the screen, away from an edge. Try dynamically changing menu items around in the K menu. Things that Windows users have taken for granted for 2 or 3 years are still completely missing. I hope they address these issues soon.
If this were a test for infecting a Windows machine, the contest would already be over and the contest holder would be reinstalling his box right now...
You can sell the software too -- free software is about freedom (as in speech), not price.
There's nothing saying that you can't sell the software! You don't *have* to give it away for no cost. You just have to give the source code with it when you do sell it or give it away.
I can attest to both Cable and DSL in the Charlotte area -- I have both.
Roadrunner Cable = 3mbps downstream, 384kbps upstream
Telocity DSL = 1.5mbps downstream, 256kbps upstream
Cable = Have reached speeds in excess of 300KBPS downstream, but only 40KBPS upstream.
DSL = Have reached speeds in excess of 150KBPS downstream, but only 25KBPS upstream.
This is for residential use -- business DSL is not available to me (for some unknown reason) -- I'd love to have 1mbps both up/down stream.. but alas, I'm stuck with crappy upstream rates.

Ya, forgot about that target=_blank deal. Here's the correct link: Slashdot Article about ReiserFS inclusion into Linux 2.4
I read that ReiserFS has made it into 2.4 in the nick of time! I've used it only peripherally, and it ran just fine.
