Judge Audrey Collins must be one of those "activist judges" that GWB loves so much. You can bet this one isn't going to go down without a fight. This one will go to the Supreme Court. It's not over yet.
Call me cynical, but I really doubt if there would be a large outcry even if Patriot was spelled out in plain English on NBC. Fully half or more of the US supports Bush no matter what he does. God tells him what to do, you see, and who can argue against that?
Just because I may oppose this particular change does not mean that I oppose all change. My life has already been changed by technology and I look forward to more of it in the future, especially in the field of medicine. I would rather see development done to help the body heal from injuries than to bypass the body with electronics and turn people into cyborgs.
Also, maybe you should try to be a little less mean spirited in your replies. Calling someone weak and stupid is a little heavy handed, don't you think?
I understand that this could be a godsend for some people. What prompted me to post was the quote on the front page: How soon until anyone can become the ultimate expansion card? Sign me up!. My feeling is something along the lines of "Ewww! If I don't need it, I don't want it!"
People who are eager for this sort of thing puzzle me. Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but I'd like to stay as far away from this as possible. I don't say this to be a luddite, but there are definite limits to where I would personally go with technology.
I never thought that looked legitimate at all. You can't just set up your own system for filing legal complaints. If you could every kook out there would be doing it. It reminds me of people who try to start their own country, only not as interesting.
Porco Rosso is one heck of a great film. It's a love story with a little magic, a lot of adventure, some comedy, and one of the best fist fighting scenes of any movie, bar none. The colors and artwork are top notch.
I don't know how I would like the dub, though. I don't speak Japanese, but to me it sounds like they speak Japanese with a French accent in this film, and I find that combination really unusual and entertaining.
Bill Gates probably has no idea how long it takes for Linux to get patched. And he doesn't have to know, because there are few if any consequences for dishonesty for a person with power.
You might get nice performance out of BeOS, but will you get it from OpenBeOS? Do those guys know how to recreate the performance, not just the APIs, of the real thing?
1. You can not play games on it. BSD is for work, NOT PLAY.
2. It cannot be used by my grandma.
Because your grandma is farting dust six feet under.
3. It lacks a GUI of any note.
Real Men don't use GUIs.
4. There is no support available for it.
Again, Real Men don't need support.
5. It is an assortment of fragmented OSes.
Um, this article is about BSD, not Linux. Learn to read.
6. It cannot be run on the x86 platform.
Everyone on Slashdot knows x86 is dead, where have you been?.
7. You have to compile everything and know C.
This feature helps to keep people like you out of the loop.
8. Support for the latest hardware is always poor.
The latest hardware is unstable so there is no use supporting it.
9. It is incompatiable with GNU/Linux.
GNU/Linux is incompatible with reality.
10. It is dying.
Eventually, decades from now, no one will be using BSD anymore because things will have advanced to the point where current tech is irrelevant. Yes, this means one day even Java will no longer be cutting edge.
There's a really nice solution for at least part of this problem already available: RCng. I don't know if it parallelizes the startup scripts, perhaps it could be hacked to do so, but it does its own dependency checking so you wouldn't have to invoke make (blech!).
Yes, because only Usonians are capitalists. No one in Europe or Asia or Africa belongs to the WTO or supports any large corporations. Nope. Just the US.

I am now Richard Stallman on slashdot.jp. Lord help me use this to troll wisely.

...NeXTstep was built on top of the Mach kernel, which was a fork of the BSD kernel.
No. Mach is its own kernel. However, on OS X parts of the BSD kernel have been moved into the Mach kernel space.

We'll see. Real Soon Now usually means "sometime in the distant future, if ever", right? :-)

Yeah, the rich keep getting richer...meanwhile, millions are still out of work.
Assuming the Redhat vs. SCO case is resolved in your favor before IBM vs. SCO makes it into court, how do you expect it to effect their case?
The ability to restrict others' freedom is not freedom, it is power.
Cute. Do you copy and paste all of your responses from RMS' diatribes?

1. I highly doubt encrypted disks are Theo's idea.
2. Maybe not everyone wants to run OpenBSD.
It's the same as every other Linus interview.
Journalist: What are your feelings on the success of Linux?
Linus: I don't really care.
Rinse, lather, repeat.
When I see things like this:
You gave Linux, the operating system, to the world free, in effect jump-starting the open-source movement.
I'm reminded how clueless 'journalists' are.
What kind of 'ra ra Linux' fanboy would think the above and ignore the history of gcc, alt/comp.*.source.* et la?
Precisely. I'm sending you to report this to Lord Stallman personally. And take this bottle of patchouli to him as a token of respect.

My method has always been /usr/ports -type d -name work |xargs rm -rf
/usr/ports/distfiles
# find
# cd
# rm everything except_big_stuff_like_X

Which is actually a quote from William Burroughs.
H*! Th*t w*s f*nny!
Or capitalist-swynian.
Yes, because only Usonians are capitalists. No one in Europe or Asia or Africa belongs to the WTO or supports any large corporations. Nope. Just the US.
"USians" is about the dumbest word ever, not even hardly pronouncable. Please don't use that fucking word. Instead use the term "Usonian".
