What's to stop a BigCompany from flashing your firmware while you're watchin the NextBigMovie? Signed code you say?
MS: How about you put code to flash XYZ-DVD players when you play your movie?
Movie: How much?
MS: $2147483648 or so. That's as high as we can count anyways. Gotta love 32-bit signed integers.
Movie: Okay
XYZ-DVD: Here's your signature, Microsoft. Have fun now.
MS: Hahahaha (fufufufu in japanese if you care;)
And look. Now your player doesn't play oggs (yeah, this takes place in the future:)
> In general, I recommend that you do not attempt to compile the Linux kernel using any version of GCC newer than 2.95.
I'll second that. gcc3 really fouls up the kernel. Everything compiles okay, but on boot the system goes right back into OpenFirmware with a "DEFAULT CATCH!". gcc2.95 with the same config fixes this.
If he can install and run debian, and can't find the Windows config dialog, then M$ is missing something.
I find windows too hard to use because I can't tweak settings without going through a bunch of dialogs.
Example: all those taskbar apps that start up in windows (kills my roommates' comp)... how do you turn those things off!?... in linux all I have to is emacs.Xsession and comment out the line that loads the dockapp or whatever. That is really simple!
Oh, and flame away for not knowing how to use windows. I must be toostupid
I wrote a progarm like this:) Problem is MD5 sums don't really have enough information, nor do MD5 + length (of the result). Think about it; MD5 has 128 bits. As soon as you exceed that you'll get duplicates. And that would mean the wrong file.
Yeah the '01 RC's aren't too bad. But I estimate that IMSA will be gone in three years, judging by the sophomore class. Dumbest people I've ever met. Seriously.
Heh. If they come to IMSA (in a cornfield in Illinois), they'll find so many pirates they won't be able to count them!!! Not to mention the person that brought down ChiMayhem, if you remember that last Wednesday.
You're wrong: click one of the prices and you'll see this:
Advertisers pay for actual visitors.
The "cost to advertiser" is the amount an Overture advertiser chooses to pay each time a customer clicks that advertiser's listing in our search results.
This makes Overture's Pay-For-Performance(TM) advertising the most cost-effective way for advertisers to promote their products, services and information to 75% of the Internet.
Would you like Overture to help you reach the most targeted customers?
The prices have been going up all day today, too:)
8 dollars a click times 10000 slashdotters! YOW!!!
Just out of curiosity, what rights do building inspectors have to tell you what you can and cannot do. It's my house, if I want it to burn down then so be it! It's my fucking money, so get the hell out:-D

That makes sense, but how come the PS2 is so hyped in the vertical position. Is it just to look cool?
Um... wouldn't it HAVE to look like winamp to LOAD WINAMP THEMES? Oh... guess you never thought of that. Dumb trolls...
The PS2 does all that, except you have to go buy a USB NIC and plug it in. VGA-out is coming/already out.
instead of that `ps | grep...` stuff, you can use the pidof command to get the pid of any app.
i.e.
$ pidof bash
345 654 378

Eh... my 233MHz iMac plays DiVX fine (MPlayer screws up the sound, but Xine is great)
Why can't I edit .trashrc and change
:P
PromptOnMoveToTrash: true
to false?
That doesn't even involve a mouse

Uh, it says in the abstract "(without opening a window). Who looks stupid now? :)
I fail to see the problem if all the MS people leave the internet. Then it will be back to the good ol' days. This would be great!
genetic algorithms are good for finding a decent solution; especially simple ones like the knapsack problem

Yeah, but can you really tell C and C++ apart without extensions?
Hey, could you post the procmail filter? It looks really cool :-)
Actually it works on Linux/PPC. It's just firewire.

About 4 meters per second when the shadow is a kilometer long. Faster as the sun gets lower, obviously (at the end).

That's really smart. And I wouldn't have thought of it :(
Whoa. What would stop me from setting up two boxen, watching a CS game on one, and playing in the same game on the other. Talk about an advantage!
My house doesn't burn down very often though. Although I did put some Windows in...

Can we see the source? This is slashdot after all...
