Oh, puh-lease. "Standard practice" should be to release free software drivers! Anyone who gladly runs proprietary binary drivers on a free software system haven't got the faintest grain of respect for the principles of what makes the OS they're running possible. They are, as it were, mindless pragmatists, taking no-cost rather than free speech any day. I won't stand for it.
Look at this -- it looks like some kind of pop-up blocking feature right there in Internet Explorer. So does this mean that IE will get this new feature after all?
I'll quote from Fedora Core 0.95 Release Notes at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/:
The Red Hat Update Agent (up2date) now supports installing packages from apt and yum repositories as well as local directories. This includes dependency solving and obsoletes handling. Additional repositories can be configured in the/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file.
Fedora Core is the new name for the free Red Hat distribution.
Sound works on the AC97 codec on-board, but playing Mp3 through XMMS gives some strange noises every 30 seconds or so... not sure what that's related to.
I get the same thing here, on my onboard AC97 while playing in xmms. So far I can't reproduce in mpg123. Do tell if you've found a solution.
I'm trying out Entropy at the moment, and I have to say I'm impressed! It seems to work almost exactly like Freenet (keybased, same kinds of keys, same syntax for keys), but it's a lot faster. Perhaps like Freenet was in the old days, I don't know. Entropy is actually fast enough to be usable.
Or he only let the torrent run for a couple of minutes before judging the speed. Torrents need some time to reach to speed -- the more you give the more you get, and at first you just don't have that much to give, so it figures.
You don't need Linux for a one-CD bootable rescue disc. Windows can do the same, just get PE Builder which will create such a CD for you (providing you own a Windows license of course). In any case it sounds like a good way to avoid the SCO inquisition.
Hear, hear! And even more importantly, I'm worried about the amount of people willfully and thoughtlessly installing closed-source, unfree, proprietary graphic card drivers from nvidia or ATI. This represents a gradual shift towards closed infrastructural software in a system that's supposed to be built upon the principles of freedom and openness. These people show a complete lack of principles (freedom is nice, but I'll give it away gladly for shiny pebbles).
And I, for one, will NOT welcome our new Unfree Overlords.
KDE is not made by Trolltech, but by a network of around 200 regular contributing individuals around the world. Two or three of these work on Qt for Trolltech, and contribute to KDE in their spare times.
Call me cynical but an 'ad' that doesn't tell you what it's advertising isn't an ad. But, it grows the brand. After all, our enemy will be eaten by squirrels.

Most non-computer-industry types do not like change--no matter what the benefits are.
This is such a widely believed myth, but I don't believe it. Look at the changes between Windows 3.11 and Windows 95, and between Windows 9x/2k and Windows XP, and look at the screenshots from Longhorn to see how different that will be from XP. The fact is that Windows changes looks quite often, which makes the whole "it has to look like Windows" argument very dubious.
Wisely spoken. I don't want to buy this coffee if it supports mozilla at the cost of exploiting coffee farmers. I'd rather be buying my usual bags of Max Havelaar and donate cash to the Mozilla Foundation instead.

Yes, this simple image should explain the results in a way that everyone should understand, even you MTV generation kids!

Poser. 1100 down, 90 up :) And all these people say they don't use BT because it's SLOW?

Why go to the lengths of downloading an OLD iso just to avoid BitTorrent? What's wrong with BitTorrent?
why use MSN when Jabber exists?
Smilies. Emoticons. MSN has WAY more of them than Jabber will ever have!
Since when did HTTP requests to non-existant hosts result in a 404 error?
ppl should just use 'Press a key to continue' which avoids the confusion
:)
They'd probably press the 'a' key, but hey, it'd work
I had a friend call me up about a web site. "Which one do I press if I want to download? Do I press 'download' or 'register'?"

Enough of this, the parent wanted you to reply IF your ISP *has* blocked it. Instead we get a flood of people saying their ISPs have NOT blocked it.
Reminds me of Futurama:
Gypsy: "There is perhaps one way. Have you heard of the monks of Deshuba?"
Fry: "I've... NOT heard of them..."

You're effectively making yourself less available for communication. Which makes you things like "Unfriendly" "Uncooperative"

Not to forget "Unmutual"

You should read Wikipedia's Entry for "Computer virus".
Everyone I know uses AIM, simply because it got their first.
Their first what? Their first born?
Oh yeah :-)
