However, I am left wondering how this might have turned out if the uncle's DNA had been at the scene for a perfectly innocent reason that he could not justify, or if the DNA match was just a coincidence.
This was covered in the last episode of the first season of CSI. Unfortunately that writeup doesn't mention it, but it's enough for someone to be able to remember the episode if they saw it. The "strip strangler" knew to plant someone else's semen on the victims. Apparently the person that the DNA matched sold ketchup packets of semen to people (I didn't understand why either). Anyway, he helped them find the real person, who admitted his guilt.
It would work as a personal server--I seem to reformat my PC often, but I could use this for stuff I don't want to keep backing up. Also, it doesn't require a monitor or keyboard to be plugged in to boot up (one thing I dislike about x86).
Anyone arguing that allowing Linux on an XBox is going to sell more Xboxen is clearly deluded.
Well, I'd buy an XBox if I could put Linux on it easily. That would be one more sale. I believe there are others who feel the same way (but mostly/. readers).
[T]he "I love Debian, but I use because " is quite standard. Usually has been it's hard to install, and it seems that it's still the number one complaint. I agree to a point with that: it's hard if you know nothing about computers.
I know a lot about computers, and Debian is still hard to install. That is, I can install it, but I don't know how to set up X, it's a pain to install everything I need (though apt helps a lot with that).
Right now, I use Libranet--it's not free as in beer, but it's mostly free as in speech, and it acts like Debian (except possibly for 'apt-get dist-upgrade').
And if Knoppix doesn't detect all your hardware (yes, it's possilbe--Knoppix doesn't find my mouse or NIC), try Libranet. It's not free as in beer, but it was worth the $40 I paid for it.
The article explains if the XBox exploit is made public it would allow game piracy, which the finders of the exploit would like to avoid (DMCA blah blah blah). Microsoft just has to decide what they hate more--piracy or Linux.

Don't just sit back and hope this law passes. Write to your Congressman and your Senators and ask them to co-sponsor, or, failing that, at least to vote for it.
Well, most people on/. who would see my comment could do that. And I believe that Lindows should differentiate between root and normal users more during installation. See the first question on Michael Robertson's/. interview for his response: http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/0 5/05/1225249.
My only experience with the Torque engine is playing Tribes 2, and I'm impressed by that, but it'll be awhile before I have anything near the skills to program with something like this.
I used to buy singles. Now it's hard to find singles. Also, there is a clear difference between copyright infringement and stealing. Stealing is walking into a music store and walking out with a CD you didn't pay for. Also, I'm using the iTunes music store now.
It seems Jesse has recovered much of his life savings through donations. He has a paypal link on his site (unfortunately I can't give the link to you--it uses post). If you want to donate, go here, sign in/register, and send money to jordaj@rpi.edu
One of the other college students sued by the RIAA, Daniel Peng, also has a paypal donation page.
We can't buy the good songs without buying the filler songs that they put on CDs. The only reason I've used p2p networks is because while I'm willing to pay for one or two songs that I like, I'm not willing to pay for the 10 other songs on the CD I don't like.
What percentage of OSS projects, on say sourceforge.net, have a version number 1.0? (and are "widely" used).
I'd say that projects saying their development status is at 5 - Production/Stable would be a better comparison.
Looking through the first couple pages I see phpMyAdmin, Gaim, BitTorrent, and NTFS support for Linux. I'm sure there's more widely used apps there, but I either don't know them, or didn't want to look through all the pages.

Then I'll spell it out for you--I didn't say this wasn't blackmail. I did say it's not LUGs shooting themselves in the foot.
I'm sorry, I couldn't find where you called this blackmail in your earlier post. All I see is a reference to LUGs shooting themselves in the foot.
RTFA! Don't make wild accusations until you do.

Point taken. However, pdf is an open format, so it shouldn't be too long until a good editor comes.

You can have the "--" added automatically if you change your preferences. I'm not going to be redundant and take up space by adding another "--".
Hilary Rosen resigned her post with the RIAA, effective at the end of this year. Previous /. story.
I don't know about the others, but you can get Acrobat for Linux, and there's always xpdf.
