I am wondering if they had a thing against people paying twice or more. I imagine that the if the total number of $1 payments needed were not based on unique credit card numbers then you would probably have some people paying twice. Or more. Just like at the museum, when it says "suggested payment" -- some people choose to pay more to ensure that the museum sticks around.
When do you plan to port the Freedom Server software to Windows NT, OpenBSD, FreeBSD or other operating systems?
All efforts are currently being spent towards the development of the server software for Linux. Once this has been completed, we will begin developing versions for other operating systems.
At an interesting Toronto LUG meeting a little while back, they had two presentations, one with the Ontario cybercrime police force (two guys) and a Zero Knowledge guy. Interesting contrast, the watchers and the anonymizers. The Freedom concept was explained and the Zero Knowledge guys said that there would be a linux version at some point. And that they were thinking about open source except that the code wasn't ready for release yet.
What is in [landfills]? Various forms of paper, mostly newspapers and packaging, take up approximately half the space. Another 20 percent or so is made up of yard waste, construction wood, and assorted organic waste, especially food. (Rathje found that 15 percent of all the solid food purchased by Americans ends up in landfills.) An unbelievable conglomeration of odds and ends accounts for the rest, with almost 10 percent made up of plastic, including the so-called biodegradable plastic. (Starch is added to the plastic compound as an appetizer for microorganisms, who will theoretically dissemble the plastic as they consume the starch.) Rathje dryly noted that he was skeptical of such claims: "In our landfill refuse from decades past we have uncovered corncobs with all their kernels still intact. If microorganisms won't eat corn-on-the-cob, I doubt whether they will dig cornstarch out of plastics."
Incidentally, digging in landfills can be quite dangerous due to the presence of lethal hydrogen sulfide gas or explosive methane.
I like sarcasm. But raw text, devoid of subtle body language and foreknowledge of the author, has probability 1 of being misinterpreted. So if you care what people might say, one must be very careful with sarcasm on the internet.
The polite thing to do seems to be to add a smiley for the humor-disabled, so as to aid their faulty recognition. That, or use HTML like tags to indicate <SARCASM> and </SARCASM>. Except both of those seem to dumb down everything for the lowest common denominator, and generally ruin the joke.
More illustrations of the dangers of sarcasm can be found in this article.
Once upon a time we didn't have to worry about cancer. We didn't have to worry about light. We didn't have to worry about intoxicating chemicals. We didn't have to worry.
There is a perception today that we live in a time of greater risks. We as humans are very bad at numbers and have somehow deduced from our longer lifespans that we live in more perilous times. When you point out that lifespans are getting longer, you are usually met with blank stares.
Sure, our hunter gatherer forbears did not have to worry about getting prostate cancer. They would have had to contend with disease, the weather, malnutrition or being eaten by animals. Plenty of other things to worry about.
To my surprise the administration at my school knows about and actually likes LaTeX. And they know how to pronounce it (like TECH, not TEX). There is a fairly strict thesis secretary who took one look at the CMF fonts in my dissertation and said ah, you're using the TeX style files, and in 2 minutes I was out of there.
The price is about the same in Toronto, maybe a little higher. You go to the big chains like Towers, Sam's, it's usually C$13.99-18.99 for a new disc. Factor in 15% tax and multiply by 0.69 to get US$. (i.e., US$11-15 all taxes included). I travel cross border a lot and even though lots of stuff [e.g. Canadian beer] is cheaper in the USA, cd's are defintely not. In Ithaca NY, it's often US$16-US$19. If you are a cheapskate like me you buy used discs at C$10 each -- US$7.93 with tax.
So does this mean that slashdot.org is not going to point to 209.207.224.40-42 anymore? If so, how about a pointer until all the dns tables get updated?
I have been told that Quicktime is a wonderful open standard. The reality is opposite; the sorenson codec, which is now the defacto standard, just won't decode on my linux box. Practically all new quicktime movies are unplayable. Any supposed openness of Quicktime has been de-commoditized by apple.
I sent a pretty-please email to apple a while back. So should everybody.
The people who make my tiny keyboard (PFUCA) also make a small server called the netbox running Linux. The company website has pictures of Linus checking out clusters of them.
Five minutes at 128kb/s = 38400kb. An MP3 representation might be around 3200kb for 5 minutes. This is a compression ratio of 1:12. What they're saying is the compression ratio isn't as good as MP3.
I can sometimes hear the MP3 artefacts so I would not mind a larger format.
They don't have Xfree86 4. Check the article yesterday.

Your off-topic spamvertisement is poorly formatted. It certainly does not make me want to give you $750. For reference, Slashdot strips out the BLINK and COLOR tags, you know.
Let's hope this isn't the beginning of a trend. Maybe we need a new moderator tag, Commercial SPAM.
If you've been reading/., you know that if you drop a load of FUD you will get a reply. You were spreading some extremely well-known FUD (who do you sue?). I just pointed that out. For reference, the MS EULA forbids you from suing them. So pointing this out as a Linux specific weakness is just plain FUD, and most people here know that.
Semi-Anonymous FUDsters have been tracked all the way to Microsoft on various forums. e.g. Steve Bartko. But I never said you worked for Microsoft. Seeing as you are a reasonable person, do you now see how your anonymous posting could be seen in a negative light? I used to have very negative opinions of Linux, based on the zealotry of its users, so I apologize for my enthusiastic trashing.
Unless you are just trolling. Then, okay, you got me. Damn.
Slashdot Mirror
This guy is a well known Microsoft fan. He wrote a book about a year inside MS with the incredible and unironic title
I Sing the Body Electronic: A Year with Microsoft on the Multimedia Frontier . His partisan pro-MS credentials are impeccable.
This would be a good time to check out the Linux Advocacy HOWTO, before lighting up those flamethrowers.
Just looked this up myself. In case anybody is too lazy, Kwisatz Haderach seems to mean "Shortening of the Way".

What is wrong with xanim ?? It plays quicktime movies
Except any new ones. Remember Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings?

Check out the links listed above. The Man and Machine site describes a water resistant lcd panel and mouse.
If I only own an audio CD player, they save me the cost of having to buy a CD-ROM drive to play my music on my computer or portable system.
You need a cdrom to prove that you own the cd's -- they call it beaming. Once you have shown that you own the cd they will stream it back at you.
