China is not the only place that censorship is occuring. Here in the US, for example, links to Scientology have been edited out. Likewise, google makes mention of this.
IIRC link was removed from Slashdot comment.
Isn't it ironic? We are discussing censorship on Slashdot, we blame Google for being evil, but we forget that this website is being cenzored, without China, North Korea or Iran!
I know at least two ways to trigger cenzorship on public forums: - put Muhammad picture - talk about Scientology of course there are many other ways (by doing illegal things), but these two are simple and working.
My first computer was Atari 800XL. I started my programming on it. I learned Atari Basic, then Turbo Basic, tried Forth and assembler. For the first time ever I composed music on Chaos Music Composer. I've seen 3D graphics in games... I've played M.U.L.E. hours and hours. OMG I am starting to cry, time to take my pills... I mean to start emulator again;)
Guys, we are talking about putting journalist in the PRISON.
And you are making funny comments.
I know that it is very fun to see how people dies on your tv screen when you are drinking beer and eating chips, but it's happen for real. People are thrown in prison for their words. People are being killed. And you are making jokes about them.
Yahoo is just evil. Google is also evil, just less.
There is no free speech in this world - you can't talk about scientology (comment has been removed by Slashdot administrator), you can't make cartoons about Mohammed, Moses or any Christian saints, liberalism is dying.
I use Linux. I don't have viruses. It is simple? Isn't obvious? They have virus in big financial stuff. They are using Windows for it. They are dumb people. It's their fault. It isn't fault of virus author. It isn't fault of Microsoft or Bill Gates. It's fault of dumb people!
Is there any project to create Free Software application compatible with Skype protocol? I don't like Skype interface, and can't find any alternative UI...
The only interesting game relased in 2005, and the only I bought in last year was Civilization IV.
There is really nothing new in new FPSes, things planned for first Doom (like "not just hit ctrl to shot" or "monsters morphing") are still not implemented in any!
So called "strategy games" (RTSes) are just clones of Dune 2 with new units and multiplayer modes.
The Sims are nice idea (alife-like), they are popular, because girls can play them just like with dolls.
Stop bitching on p2p and start working you dumb game designers.
Postcard with builtin LCD and camera? Imagine postcard with bultin modern CPU, 1GB memory, large hdd, fast video card, 21'' LCD display, dolby stereo sound and laser printer (to print more postcards). Will it run Linux?
Seagate drives still have problems with the sata_sil kernel module. Some models just stop working after a week or two of use, requiring a reboot. Kernel bug #5047
Oh shit, IBM too? WD is just a crap IIRC. No alternative to Seagate then? Prices of hard drives don't drop like CPU or video cards, should we expect even higher prices now?
This is just unfair. I always liked Maxtor hard drives, they were rock stable, fast and silent. I remember problems with some Seagate drives in Linux few years ago (related to DMA, some strange messages in kernel logs). So I always tried to buy Fujitsu or Maxtor, and always tried to avoid Seagate. Fujitsu stopped making hard drives and Maxtor has just been eaten. What brand of hard drive should I choose in future? IBM?
But how mature and how usable this OS is? What about software for Minix? On website there is info about packages - gcc, vim/emacs, old Python, no ncurses, no X... What can I install (by compiling) on Minix and what is not possible and why?

Am I the only person who read "vim" not "viiv"?
I'm sorry, but saying that RMS is no longer connected with Open Source is like saying
He never was. He was always against it. RMS is connected to Free Software, not to Open Source.

I've had this "paltop" in my hands, it was heavy - in fact it was much bigger than any todays laptop :)
My first computer was Atari 800XL. ;)

For the first time ever I composed music on Chaos Music Composer.

No one but Google hears your request, not everyone in the whole world.
Untrue. Your ISP knows it, some routes know it too.
The gtk1 libraries are soon simply not going to be distributed by distros
I hope so. And then xmms will be rewritted.

They have virus in big financial stuff. They are using Windows for it. They are dumb people.
It's their fault. It isn't fault of virus author. It isn't fault of Microsoft or Bill Gates. It's fault of dumb people!
Is this idiot some kind of god for all you kids? Who cares what such pathetic person have to say about Open Source or Free Software?
Is there any project to create Free Software application compatible with Skype protocol? I don't like Skype interface, and can't find any alternative UI...
You can't use the word "phoenix", because it's patented, so maybe.. hm... a fi-re-fox?
Am I the only one who understood that he was PRINTING it on paper then BURN this paper?

Finally! An interesting link on Slashdot! Worth clicking and worth "reading"!

Thanks, that explains a lot.

Can you block m-a-d-o-n-n-a?
I don't think you can block any madonna-related string.
Anyway, who really cares about such crap as eminem?
Where it is released? I don't see it on any ftp server.
Background of this article makes it really unreadable.
But how mature and how usable this OS is?
What about software for Minix?
On website there is info about packages - gcc, vim/emacs, old Python, no ncurses, no X... What can I install (by compiling) on Minix and what is not possible and why?
Can anyone test Quake4 with DRI (r200 or r300)?
I wonder is it working on Open Source drivers.
Because in FAQ Radeon 9700 is required....
