You'll be donating some of the proceeds to the mozilla group, right? I mean, since you'll be making money off of their product and all. I don't mean to sound like a dick, but they did all the work, and you're making close to 4 bucks on each CD you sell. Also, mozilla.org will probably want to do their own CD's too. I hate to sound like a troll, but I really think what you're doing is wrong unless you're going to give back to the community.
I use this combination at home, and at work. Being able to ssh and irc while in meetings is fun. Don't even get me started on pr0n browsing. it owns for that.
The only problem I have with the wireless nic is that it's really wide, so I'm probably going to have to file down the edges so I can get at the audio jack/stylus when the card's in the slot. I have no complaints otherwise.
wrong. I'd say 2 weeks, tops. I've been playing with nightly builds lately, and they're looking really promising. There *are* bugs, but those will get ironed out quickly. The developers are great about that. They get shit fixed fast. Keep in mind, that it might have taken 3 years to get to 1.0, but it was worth the wait.
they're right on the corner of Ellis and Middlefield, Mountain View California. They bought netscape buildings 1,3,4, and 5. and yes, they now own the netscape statue...:( .. the fuckers..
The scary thing is that I've only been to new york 5 times in my life, and the other 4 were business trips. I'm from the bay area, in california, and generally people there don't fuck with your hardware when it's in a booth. I just can't believe that someone would have the audacity to steal it in the first place. I'm more pissed at security about it than anything. I think it's rediculous that they'd allow someone to just walk out with 2 laptops, and not even ask questions. I have a feeling it was either a cleaning person, or one of the security guards themselves.
I've got a little propaganda page up about it. Go read and make sure it makes sense. If you wanna help out, please email me. I need all the help I can get right now.
Last year I was there for Window Maker.
I'm probably gonna go to kinko's and print out like a hundred of them or so, to make me look like I've actually got my shit together.
Right now, I'm just getting started, so there's not much going on.
It'll probably just fail as a site, but hell, I haven't ever really done anything for the open-source community other than get a tux tattoo on my shoulder. Mostly because well, there's really not much that sysadmins can give back. I figure this is the best way for me to be able to. I dunno, it probably sounds cheesy, but it's something I wanna try to do.

Well, I'm already in Florence(read: bumfuck egypt), New Jersey staying with friends. I'm taking the train up to the city tomorrow morning, check into my hotel, grab my boxen, get to my booth, set it up, and hook up my machines tomorrow. I wonder if they'll actually have network access early this year. Last year january, they didn't have network live (in the.org pavillion) till wednesday.
I'm also hoping they don't go weasel again like they did in SFO last august and turn off the power to the.org pavillion after hours. That just pissed me off. They cut the power at like EXACTLY 6pm. I was hosting one of my websites off of it, and lost everything when I lost the partition my MySQL databases were on..ORG pavillion exhibitors, be warned, they might do this again. This year I'm using ext3, so hopefully if they pull the power, my shit won't be lost.
Also, if you're exhibiting, don't leave your laptops, or anything else that can be easily stolen, in your booth. My and hadess's laptops got stolen. The depressing thing is that the last picture of his laptop (an ibook, you know, the toilet seat-looking ones) was taken by myself after the IBM party. I feel really bad that the laptop got stolen too. I almost feel as though it's my fault. The thing is, is that they rummaged THROUGH the booth and took it. My laptop was in the little cabinet thing inside the booth, so they must have been there a while. I just can't believe that security was so lax that they'd let someone like that just walk in and out with them. It's quite depressing.
This year I'm taking no chances though. I'm bringing locks for everything, I'm going to be taking my computers back to my hotel with me every night, and I'm definitely NOT going to be leaving ANYTHING in my booth. I guess I just had too much trust in their staff.
BTW, I am going to be setting up a wireless access point in my booth. If you need wireless networking, set your ESSID to "tux0r". I'll happily share my bw with anyone who wants it.:)
I can't think of anything else to really say, other than stop by my booth (BOFH International, booth #7, way in the back, right side, by mandrakesoft) and say hi.

dunno what the market is on them. It comes with a 15-in screen (1024x768), can handle up to a gig of ram (2x512m PC-100 SODIMM's) and comes stock with a DVD rom. It gets about 4 hours of battery life for me. You can also get the combo CDRW-DVD drive for it. Built-in NIC and modem, so you your pcmcia slots are free to play. Oh, and it's got 3 mouse buttons. You can't beat a laptop with 3 mouse buttons:P.
It runs linux like a dream btw.
If you're coming from san jose, drive north on 101 until you get past the san thomas expressway, start looking to the right. You'll see exodus, network associates, and then SonicBlue all in the same area.
If you're coming south from San Fransicso on 101, drive past the great america parkway exit and look left. It's right there. can't miss em.
I've played with one of the ps2 Development tools, they're actually quite interisting. The problem lies in the fact that the ps2 only has 32 megs of ram. That's not a helluvalot, which makes the box kinda useless for anything other than just hacking around. I don't know if you can buy extra ram, or just make shitloads of swapspace for the thing, but it's still one cool hack.
Honestly, I think it's a good thing that they got this patent. They've made so many bad choices in the last 5 years, that maybe this is what they need to get themselves out of debt. They no longer have a hold in the video card market (read, s3, Diamond). Their share in the portable mp3 player market isn't that impressive anymore since It's been flooded with alternatives that work as well, if not better than theirs. I've used both a TiVo and a ReplayTV, and they're both awesome products. Personally, I'd choose a ReplayTV over a TiVo though. Anyhow, just my $.02

Uh.. I know this sounds kinda dumb.. but it would take a hell of a lot longer than 2 weeks to remove those buildings, re-master the scenes, re-print *ALL* the rolls (probibly around 70,000), and ship them to the theatres.
The buildings were taken out before the whole thing even happened.
well, if you have unix experience, I'd use slackware. it's very close to a pure unix system.
If you're new to all of *nix, I'd use something like mandrake. It's very straightforward in it's design, and is great for those who don't really know what they're doing yet.
When I started out, I started with slackware, and SLS, but that was a long time ago..:P.
Heck, even corel linux would be great for getting people used to linux. it's a great distro for those who just want a desktop machine that runs linux.
Another you might want to think about is Conectiva, as it's very easy to set up and use. I've suggest that one to people also.
Essentially, the best thing to do is grab a couple of distributions, and see which one you like best, they've all got ups and downs.
If you notice, nobody mentions IE. IE is the browser for AOL 6.0. Does this mean that there's not going to be any more version of AOL released? think about it. If you think that Mozilla/netscape is dead, you're VERY wrong. Keep that in mind.
AOL v4.0 was distributed with Win98. Think about it. Don't jump to conclusions unless you know what the FUCK you're talking about.
