This is definitely an excellent product with either nslu2-linux or Debian on it. The disadvantage of Debian is that it doesn't support the integrated LAN port -- you will have to supply a USB network card. ($30 or less)
Most do FTP, some do SSH. Watch out for overheating and buggy Samba installations.
All do FTP, SSH, Samba, HTTP, VPN, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, Routing, Bridging and what-have-you if you install Debian on them...:)
Also, the devices themselves are totally silent, so if you get a near-silent harddisc enclosure you won't hear them, either...
(Okay, maybe "playing DVDs" or "doing heavy-duty audio-work" isn't an option... but with an USB sound card you could even use them as audio players...;))
That's strange - it took less than a week to get one here in Austria a few weeks ago...
Then again, an ASUS WL-500G Deluxe might also be interesting; it's only got 4 MB of flash and just a 200 MHz CPU (as oposed to the NSLU2's 266MHz CPU once you de-underclock it), but it's also got a 4-port switch and wireless access point in addition to 2 USB 2.0 ports, and you can run OpenWRT on it
Well, at those prices getting both is definitely an option...:)
ctrl+tab behaves different from alt+tab - alt+tab in windows orders by history, while ctrl+tab orders by left-right order. So, there's no "last tab I used" command in FF. It's hard to get a balance here tho - windows accomplishes the odering visibly by showing a pop-up of the program-tabbing history so you can see the order you cycle through.
Am I the only person who thinks that taking a 10 million clock cycles or more for a dual core chip to respond to an interupt seems like a long time?
What 10 million?
5 usec (that's micro-seconds[1], not milli-seconds) is 1/20,000th of a second, so if you take a 2 GHz CPU it's more like 2,000,000,000 clock cycles * sec^-1 divided by 20,000 sec^-1=100,000 clock cycles...
[1] which should have a mu instead of an u before the second, but SlashDot doesn't seem want to display µ...
So you're saying that, with the magic of advanced rendering technology [only for Windows, yes?]
No. Sub-pixel antialiasing is also done by Xfree's font engines.
on a high-end & presumably expensive display
No. Have you checked TFT prices lately?
, you can ideally get... 133 x 3 = 399 or... 399 / 1200 = 0.3325... So, about a third as good as you can do with a hundred dollar printer and a penny piece of paper ? Hm...
Yes. Then again, if you read my previous reply carefully I just responded to the parent poster's claim that ~133DPI was the limit.
still, the best monitor available right now can do 133 DPI, if I'm up to date.
With subpixel anti-aliasing (i.e. ClearType et al) on a TFT display you practically get three times the resolution horizontally (you still need 3 adjacent subpixels per black dot, but it can be positioned more accurately), which helps quite a bit...
Germans which are interested in it may also buy the latest computermagazine c't where it is described in detail.
Moreover, they were also the ones that discovered this, like the article in The Register states in it's first sentence - if it weren't like that, I'd have found it strange at least, as the issue of c't detailing this already came out on the 30th of May...
np: Jean Michel - A Completely Normal Improbability (Crossways Part 3)
Well, as long as Kompakt doesn't exist the same way I can live with that...:)
(Then again, Kompakt are not only a label, but also one of the largest indie distros in Germany, so opening an (320kbps) MP3 webshop was just a matter of time...)
Kompakt is one of the bigger indipendent distributors (and a kickass label) in Germany, and has recently started selling 320kbps MP3 files with no DRM attached.

Slashdot Mirror
TAB, TAB, TAB...
Ah, there it is - what's the prize again?
np: C.J. Bolland - Spoof (Remix) (Electronic Highway)
Not true. With the big endian OpenDebianSlug, you can use the openslug kernel together with all the packages out of the Debonaras repository (which is growing every day) *AND* the onboard ethernet.
It's just that big endian Debian for ARM (ARCH=armeb) isn't a official Debian architecture - yet.

Stack Style Tabs fixes that.
Ugh... of course, 5usec is 1/200,000th of a second, so it's actually 10.000 clock cycles... *slaps himself*
What 10 million?

Easy as that. It's funny that their download section for it has a dollar sign as an icon...

Too bad Windows Update lists the patch for this vulnerability as high priority... they're really foiling their own plans... *g*
np: Jah Wobble & The Invaders Of The Heart - Lam Saravane Dub (I Could Have Been A Contender (Disc 2))
I guess that's because it's a German game that was really selling well in Germany and thus warranted a sequel...

"Tape based" disc?
Now that's a novel concept - I always thought discs were disc based...
*runs off to the patent office*
np: To Rococo Rot - Miss You (Hotel Morgen)
it was the BitTorrent of the dark side - SithTorrent!

Actually - no, he doesn't.
Nobody's stopping him from ordering it on DVD from sites like DVD Pacific and importing them into Poland, same as the rest of the EU.
Just because the DVD isn't sold in stores around him doesn't mean he can't order it elsewhere.

Game over, man. No other domain name can even come close to this... *eg*

NSFW text ads I can handle - but I wasn't prepared for the evil nastiness that is the Bush website... :(
Does anybody have some sandpaper for me so I can eradicate all memories of it?
