He doesn't mention other, very nice multimedia players like Rhythmbox, JuK, or Zinf. For anyone like me who became frustrated with XMMS' slow development and lack of features these are the things you should check out.
Many ALSA drivers supports this in hardware if the sound card actually supports it. My emu10k1 card, for example, can play multiple sounds at the same time without using esd or arts. If your sounds card doesn't support this in hardware then you do need to use arts or esd, which cause a lot of headaches for people trying to configure them. I'm not sure about your problem specifically, but it isn't an issue with Linux in general.
How heavily your GPA is weighed depends entirely on the university, as it should. I attend the University of Chicago (I guess I should have said that in my first post), and the thing they weigh the most in admitting a student are their essays. I know people who had a low 3.something GPA and got admitted to the U of C, one of the most academically challenging schools in the US.
Also, before the SAT was being created there were basically two school of thought: one, from Harvard, said that we should try to measure aptitude and the other, from Chicago, said that we should try to measure performance. The former won over, but there has been a push lately again toward the latter.
I also take issue that the every university's "job" should be the same (which the article addresses). Some schools should be there to prepare people for the "real world" or one's worth as a member of society. Every single one certainly should not. Schools like MIT, CalTech, and Chicago are very good at certain things which people value in an education. As the article said, to claim that there is some Platonic ideal of University is to want to create a homogeneous educational environment.
Along with schools like MIT and CalTech, sure. Their problem is that US News and World Report "measures" things that are meaningless or shouldn't be measured with the net result being a measure of prestige, more or less.
Gaim no longer uses.gaimrc, it uses accounts.xml. If you're using a version of the client which actually does use.gaimrc then it's time to upgrade. The latest version as of this post is 0.67.
Hmm. But the grades aren't actually stored in the Blackboard software, are they? That is, if you tampered with Blackboard there would still be the original grades, no?
No, no. There was an article posted recently about the tiff between NANAE, SPEWS, and SomethingAwful. The SA forum goons decided to create a bunch of one-use accounts to vote the story up, and some NANAE people tried to vote it down. SA being much more organized, they were the ones to hijack k5 and got the story voted up. It was voted up so suddenly that a few people soon realized that it was actually pounced on by SA, and Tex Bigballs posted that story "A Sad Day for Kuro5hin" to the queue whereupon it was voted up. In it Michael Moore posted a list of all the one-time accounts used to vote up the story (it was a huge list of consecutive IDs, most of whom had never commented -- ever).
So, while the story is interesting in that meta-k5 drama sort of way, no, it has nothing to do with slashdot.
I don't know how many of you people pay attention to affairs over at k5, but recently there have been a lot of speed problems. And now they've been linked on the front page. I'm sure you all can connect the dots.
I don't see why their motive matters, nor where one was implied in either the introduction or the article. If people switch to Linux because it is a more attractive market, then that just makes it an even more attractive market. Regardless of the motives Linux gets what it needs to gain momentum: mind-share.

The best way to measure the value of a single-player FPS or RPG is to see how longer before you have to break open crates. Under that metric, DX fails instantly.
Never mind the fact that the AI is the WORST EVER. Good lord, if someone spots me all I have to do is run into a bathroom stall and they shrug it off eventually. Ugh.
I think you're confused. Slashdot has long since moved on from the anti-MS days. Now most of the comments in stories similar to this one are like yours (that is, anti-anti-MS). Obviously this can regress as far as we want, so a much better way to deal with these sorts of stories is to post if you have something pertinent to say or else just don't post.
With some works the layout itself is an important part in comprehending them. Do blindly remove the formatting so that everyone can read it is an injustice to the original author.
The Networking Services and Information Technologies (NSIT) folk at the University of Chicago distribute a connectivity package during orientation week that includes Mozilla. The package also includes stuff like Eudora, though. Also the public computers in the Reynolds Club are made by Sun, so there's no IE there.
I can only imagine that everyone who wanted to know about this already did, so this coverage here on Slashdot only serves to inform people who didn't know. Most of those people will be the ones with the web servers that need protecting.
At the very least you have to admit that as many on both sides will find out about July 6th because of this article, rather than only h4x0r5.

These things are such a scam. Everyone should read this article.
That's not really true. My university only has about 4,000 undergraduates but is listed high overall.
Be that as it may, these ratings are stupid and so are people who put stock in them. The methodology is flawed and basically based on hearsay.

Er, what a bout e-mail?
As I'm sure you know, your complaint is actually addressed in the FAQ.
Gaim will soon be using MSNP9 anyhow, so whether or not this e-mail is even true doesn't really matter.
-1, too US-centric.

That's interesting, because I got a Libertarian Candidate (100%) for #1, but Howard Dean (93%) for #2. And Sharpton was way down on the list.
Methinks this test is stupid.
I knew they were onto something when CPIP was announced. Now we just need to find enough pigeons...
