"RSS will be integrated into the heart of Longhorn."
Oh my god! Someone get on the phone to Linus Torvalds and tell him to integrate RSS into the Linux kernel as fast as possible!
the idea of OS in a ROM on the computer sounds dodgy. I mean in that it forced you to always use the operating system that comes with the computer.
What about removable ROMs? Like old nintendo cartridges, only you can load them with thew latest Knoppix. I expect blank cardridges wouldn't be too expensive.
If they are throttling ports 6881-6999 (the easiest way to find BT traffic), then just set "--minport" to something else.

Millions of people need SOME kind of dialup anyway.
Have you ever used AOL? there is a lot of overhead on the connection that tends to slow everything down. AOL doesn't use the normal OS-level ppp conection. A $12/month isp is a much better connection than $24/month AOL.
I called SCO up a month or two ago and asked for a copy of the license agreement to look over. They never got back to me. Has anyone SEEN a copy of this license?
It was cheaper than the cheapest O'Reilly book on the subject, and it had just enough information about SQL to get me started (I had never used SQL before, even tough I used to program for an older database system.)
To suppliment the book, I have these two pages bookmarked:
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/lib/DBI.html
and
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter /
I still want to read Programming the Perl DBI as well, which looks like a useful book for what I want to do.
tar -xjvf ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10.tar.bz2
cp ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10/*.ttf ~/.fonts/
They are good looking fonts that render well under X11 with xft. On the other hand, I don't like them that much; as a matter of personal preference, I find them too short and fat.
However, in the case of antimatter propellant, instead of a reactive force, the propellant will just annhilate the surrounding matter, and nothing will happen to the vehicle.
No.
The protons and antiprotons would react, producing two photons. Figure out how to reflect the gamma rays in one direction, and the ship will be accelerated in the other direction. Light has momentum (E=pc).
This is why they are using a sail on this design. Spread the reaction out over a large surface and the the radiation intensity won't be as bad.
Their engine is only 3ft DIA, 10ft long. It rotates. And this will push them faster than light?
It is never mentioned that they ever go FTL. It is even implied that all of the settled planets they visit are in the same system.
I still haven't rationalized the spinning engines. Maybe it's a system to convert heat from a fusion power plant to electricity, like the alternator in your car. Then the fusion engines would be on the sides, and the exaust is thier main propulsion.
Sounds like a cool setup; I've wanted to put together something like that for a while. What kind of software are you using? My initial thought was to use the cron daemon as a timer, and write a script to capture video and dump it to the hard drive until I have a chance to burn it to VCD.
I think I'd prefer to use CDR's anyway, since they are cheap enough and I'm only likely to record something that I would want to see over again.
Your Window Manager will support any resolution change made by X.
I don't know, but I suspect that some window managers won't know what to do. For instance, I use Windowmaker; will it know to move the dock when I resize the desktop?
How long till XFree86 resolution changing is supported by your favorite window managers and desktops? And then how long until it gets included in your favorite distro?
But null is a cooler name than "bluecurve". Let's all agree to use the word null as a synonym for the bluecurve look, which was introduced with the null beta.
You can also change a setting for httpd. But that requires some tinkering. If you are writing a cgi script, you can have it print that line at the beginning and skip the meta tag.

I've been thinking that the Mozilla project should do something like this. They have the resources to handle an Exchange replacement. Imagine "Mozilla Server" which is a single-install replacement for Exchange/IIS; it uses existing OSS components like Apache but ties them together and simplifies configuration. The Mozilla client would be very well integrated into the server, able to access web pages, email, and newsgroups, as well as LDAP contacts, scheduling, and other groupware features.
Of course since the source and the standards are both open, many other clients would be able to access the data as well. But I think Mozilla/Netscape is enough of a force in the OSS world to set the standard for a project like this. I'm not sure KDE is.
mrcparker:
Yea, this could be developed in comptetition with the KDE suite. I could see it now, yet another duplication of free software projects that use different file formats and have no interopability.
Seriously, it would be nice if everyone could work together.
Since I don't use KDE or GNOME, I would like to see Mozilla work as a client for the Kroupware server. As long as the protocals are standard, there is no reason to use a client and server from the same source.
But I see no reason for Mozilla to duplicate the server. Mozilla is client-side technology; they should stick to that.
By the way, thank you Germany. If only my governement spent money to support OSS.
I'll admit I haven't downloaded Mozilla, for one main reason - I don't have the bandwidth to do so (56k modem? Eta 22 hours!)
Somebody should burn a CD and send it to you. When 1.0 was released, I thought about putting a copy of mozilla for each major OS onto one CD, burning a hundred copies, and handing them out at parties.

No wonder I couldn't find a copy of the game today.

I wouldn't reccommend AOL for anybody.

A better possibility: Microsoft made all of those promises, but when the time comes to buy SCO, they won't. McBride ends up a begger on the street.

I just installed these fonts with

That's why I use an old 3'x5' library table for my desk.

On the other hand, the GNU license prevents you from adding secret sauce without disclosing the ingredients.
The secret sauce is just Thousand Island Dressing. It wasn't that hard to reverse engeneer. Now you can all make your own OSS Big Macs.
They had the same problem when they first introduced gasoline autos.

A while, I'd guess.
But I do like the ecofriendly aspect.
But null is a cooler name than "bluecurve". Let's all agree to use the word null as a synonym for the bluecurve look, which was introduced with the null beta.
Example: Argh! My desktop has been nullified!

I learn something cool everyday.

That rocks.
