"Linux is a kernel, not an operating system....." Then what is the name of the OS? Is it Redhat, Debian, Mandrake; I thought those were distributions? Is it GNU? or maybe GNU/Linux? HURD? GNOME? KDE? - Desktops? It's not UNIX! Or is it? SCO was right?!! ahhh!$@$#
I'm just a poor man; in need of a higher lifestyle! I am so ready for cheap monitors of any type. Flat is good; but I would settle for flat faced CRTs; in the 19" and up range. If this tech will make 40"Flats go down to $400; what would it do for the 17" screens? $50?! That would be great...
Now SPAM calls can be shared with our local 911 operators.
I for one welcome our new 911 SPAMING...
Imagine a... of 911 calls..
1.SPAM 911 2.Rob bank 3.... 4. Profit!
But seriously folks this is a real bad idea linking the most insecure of networks with our Emergency 911 Life Line. (Grain of Salt) With those boxes doing the linking being crappy consumer equiptment made in third world countrys, by terriost.
My brother and I were named after Gordon Cooper and Alan Shepard. Our father worked for NASA in the 60s. Anyway, today has been a very depressing day for me; and later in the day I found out that Gordon Cooper had died. It made me wonder if that was why my day was so sad. Now I wonder if my brother had a sad day when Alan Shepard died. Must remember to ask my brother next time I see him.
Explore well in your new realm and thank you for the good name.
Troups need to shut the mouth and open the ears when in combat. The CO is the only thing/person to listen too if you want to live. The person they love will be at home when they return. If they are not then they did not love them anyway.
I've always wanted a t-shirt with a screen on it. Every since I first saw a surface mount LED back in the 70`s. I wanted to solder them to a wire grid and sowe it to my shirt. Back then I lived in an adobe house that had 5-1/2 foot ceilings and the local hippies nick-named it "The Hobbit Hole." Good thing I was so poor; or I would have been the first:
"6'2" Tall Long Haired Hippie Hobbit Teletoobie!"
Well I guess it's not so bad being poor after all.
Try it on you feet. Kills fungi and other things buy changing the PH. Safe albeit a little stinky; but much less than your feet. Spray a little in your shoes too. Oh and the price is right too.
Remember, in the PC world there simply is no way to know if a floppy disk has been inserted
Windows has no problem "knowing" when to read a floppy and when to ignore it. It's simple; read it WHEN THE USER ASK YOU TO READ IT. When I try to access a "icon" then it can mount for me. That's the reason for icons. To keep the user from having to know about things like "mount/umount" (oh. what happend to the "n" in "umount"?). For items that automount then the icons can "Magicly" appear; but items that the OS can't detect then the icon needs to be there to start with or be "installed" on the desktop when the hardware is "installed."
Eject? what's that. When I want the disc or other "removeable" storage; I push the button and take it. If the OS gets confused when the media disappears then that's a bug!
Or someone would want/mnt/ipod. Or/mnt/key. Or/mnt/my_3rd_harddrive
The user should never need to go outside of thier "/home/user" directory. I said "user" not "geeks".. he he. All devices need some kind of install script to put the right links into the/home directory with the devices name attached. The user knows the name of the device they bought. Use that as the link name. ex./home/user/brandXthumbdrive
or something like that.
I don't have all the answers; but I'm shure someone out there can get it right.
The point being is that I/O is still broken!
When i can go and buy any item at the computer store and it works with my Linux computer at least as good or better than it works with Windows; then and only then will Linux be accepted buy the Users of the world.
The next time I have to edit a/etc/whatever file to make my new thing-a-ma-jig work; I gonna SCREAM!
Just to make a simple USB thumb drive work is a pain in most distros. Heck just mounting a floppy is way out there to most people. Automount is a good start but if I don;t get an Icon on the desktop I'm sad. Try to show off Linux to a friend and just to read a file of a floppy disk is a CS101 class; and you've lost the battle before it even gets started.
Of course we all know it's the makers of these toys we all buy that need to make the drivers. Most of them will never take Linux as a worth while endever if developers can't get the easist of all items on the I/O list to work?
Make Linux talk to the world and the rest will follow.

Getting port 25 block accross the internet....
Not a bad idea...
How can we help it along...
After all only a few IP's need port 25...
All others need to be blocked anyway...
