Even though this is meant as a joke, it's still not very true. Personally, I eat about 600-800 calories per day at the most. I am also on my high school swim team, and was also on the cross country team, and probably get more exercise in one or two days than many "healthy" people get in a week. Yet this is just barely enough to *maintain* my weight. It would be hard to put "less food into my mouth", and to do any more exercise would reduce my schedule to having NO time to even get my homework done. In other words, keeping weight down for some people is not easy at all. -mdek.net
This article reminded me of something I find kind of annoying: when sites turn off ICMP replies. Slashdot does this, and it confuses me a lot when I am trying to comfirm that an internal network connection is able to access the outside, I sometimes try pinging slashdot, and it doesn't work. Then, after spending 5-10 minutes "troubleshooting", I remember that I can never ping slashdot!
Just to let you all know, the current issue of Scientific American (December 2000) has an article about nanotubes. I was unable to find it on their web site, but it is on page 62 in the actual magazine
the problem with these is that most people's DNS servers have no idea where these are because they are not on the "official" servers
I am unable to access these, as is probably the same with most people, unless there isp decides to support "unofficial" TLDs.
If I really wanted to, I could start my own TLD, using my own dedicated connection and server, and start selling domain names. The problem is no one would buy them because they are not accessible unless ICANN approves them (thus moving them across the world's DNS servers).
now, that I've opened myself up to some lawsuits, someone go register www.entangled-photons-suck.com, so I can make up for the legal fees by suing someone else.

"Sucks to your ass-mar"
I've been wondering about how Transmeta is going to survive in the current market. Even though there chips are aimed at "appliance" type devices, they are still not very powerful when compared with other chips such as Intel. Does Transmeta have any new chips in the process of being designed, or do they hope that these will last a few years until they get around to designing even faster ones?

I don't really think that, other than the court room (and maybe casino) concerns, it matters very much. The watch has a very low resolution, and is black and white. I don't think that if an "unwanted" picture was taken, it wouldn't be very easy to tell even who it was. It would be especially difficult to publicize the pictures on the web because of the low quality.

I was at an electronics store the other day, and I saw a magazine (Elektor, Oct 2000) with an article about a new use for a gameboy.

Although I personally think that Slackware is a superior distro to RedHat, you have to look at it from the corporate point of view. When I first decided to try linux, I went to a local computer store where they had a bunch of those "budget" CDs, and looked over the options for linux. The two main ones were Redhat and Slackware. I, being unexperienced with linux at the time, chose redhat, because I simply liked the name better! CEO's wouldn't like to run a business dependent on something called "Slackware". Plus, the corporate support that Redhat offers probably is another plus in using them, but on purely technical merits, I think that slackware would be the best choice.
Of course, others would like to debate that with me...
This seems like a good solution, but there are several problems (that probably could be worked out). First, when someone gets on Gnutella, a bunch of people have to send databases to them (this would be done automatically by a client). It comes down to the same problem. All these databases being transferred every time someone logs on will clog up bandwidth just as badly, if not worse, than it is now. Also, there is the issue of keeping the databases up to date. Everytime someone logs off or deletes a file, the databases need to be updated, taking up even more bandwidth, or else the search feature on Gnutella will be more like an out-of-date search engine. -MSD.dyndns.org
"Sucks to your ass-mar"
I have tried Gnutella several times. Although it may be "better" than Napster in some ways, I still have found that it is harder to learn how to use, and it eats up bandwidth. The more people that are using the system, the more people there are sending searches to your computer. It slows everything down.
I think the bandwidth problem should be fixed first. A mid point has to be found betweena centralized server that databases all the files, and everyone sending the searches to everyone else. Of course, many people like Gnutella especially for the fact that it is completely decentralized. This coulc be a tough problem to fix.

With this incident, I was reminded of many other services, like Paypal and Billpoint, that store credit card numbers. What would happen if someone was able to break these systems? What security measures have they taken? When I signed up for Paypal, I don't ever recall anything about their computer security, so I'm left wondering how vulnerable is the service to giving out my CC#?
I searched for iso images of 7.2 beta, but couldn't find the new ones on metalab , linuxberg, or linuxiso.org. The linux-mandrake.com site seems/.ed, to make it worse. How long would it take to get this new iso propagated? I don't think it would be a very good idea to post any mirrors in comments right now, for obvious reasons.
I find it interesting that the DVD-CCA equates creating a web page while outside the us to shooting a bullet across state lines. This scares me...
"one who intentionally shoots a bullet
into a state is as subject to the judicial jurisdiction of [that] state... as if he had actually fired the bullet in the state."
Hmmm. So, we combine this with the earlier article from today, and we get a Gateway-built AOL set-top box, running Linux on a Crusoe, correct??:O Very cool, indeed.
Specifically, running the new stable Debian 2.2 "Potato":)
I've tried running some games like the Q3 demo on my linux system. I've never been able to get it to run. I keep on getting "GL subsystem" errors or something like that. I've tried installing utah-glx and others, but I've never been able to get it to work. I'm sure I would have bought quake 3 for linux if I had gotten this to work, but I've never been able to do it.
In order to sell more linux games, they need to make it MUCH easier to get all the related packages set up.
Maybe my new graphics card (with a different chipset) will let me get this working:)
Also, if a computer with business-critical data is running linux, and an IT staffer formats the hard drive without telling anyone about it, it is also linux's fault.
Seriously, it shouldn't be the OS's fault if someone doesn't know how to use it properly, and to document any changes. The company should have a policy about changing the software.
Also, this sounds like FUD from M$. I wonder if the writer is getting a check from Micro$oft for this.
