It does have some
redeeming features, but it is not, on the whole,... sterling.
So that's what they wrote Windows with. Explains a lot, doesn't it?

Actually, the best benchmark is the infinite loop test. Windows takes infinite time to do an infinite loop, but Linux only takes 5 seconds. I bet this new processor will reduce that by half:)
you can get carriage returns by coping the end of line (highlighting all the space at the end of the line to the edge of the screen). as for changing VC's, I had some patch on gpm (which apt recently erased *grumble*)
Wouldn't they only be able to read mail sent to him if they had his PGP passphrase? It's not illegal to receive incriminating letters, right? (If it is, I've got some mass mailing to do;-)
There was one time that my keyboard didn't work, but my mouse did. I wanted to safely shut the computer down, so I proceded to log in via cut and paste. I got "oot" out of the login message and the "r" out of my logs (on VC 12). The password was also in the logs:) (not in cleartext, mind you, but the letters and numbers were there). I then managed to get "init 6" out of the fortune and last login time. What a hack:-)
What would stop a criminal or terrorist from buying one of these? I can see it now:
Police: Open Up *bangs on 47 ton door*
Criminal: No.
Police: *gets battering ram, rams door*
Criminal: *yawn*
Police: *drives tank into 47 ton door*
Criminal *snore*
Police: Aw crap. *missile silo opens, missile launches*
Criminal: *giggle* ^_^
You did a terrible, terrible job of linking to goatse. Slashdot puts the hostnames in brackets next to the link now, so you fooled noone. Oh, and the colon's fine. You know why? Because we got the idea! That's what writing is about! (especially in a friggin' slashdot post! it's not an essay or book!)
hqx squishes files (converts data fork and resource fork to one file, which is encoded in normal characters [ABCDEF...]). What IE does is decode this and execute the result (since it's often a compressed file).
Slashdot Mirror
and alien can also convert packages to .tar.gz for those who like that
this is a joke in case you couldn't figure that out yourself
Lol... mod points as an AC? Hahahahah.

That's correct. Emacs is pieced together in lisp, with small components written in C (the core). It's a good idea actually. Truly object oriented :)
You can make pdf files with LaTeX and ps2pdf, both of which are free. (Actually you can make anything a pdf with ps2pdf and a2ps :)
That reviewer must have been legally retarded! Where did he get his facts?
lol
ugh... better be careful to cleanly unmount my filesystems *grumble* (or go back to 2.4.10 ;)
Where are the ext3 patches for 2.4.11 and 12? I can only find some -ac patches and 2.4.10

Oh right. Good point.

>> there will never be a "time tested" anything
That's what the last stable branch is for. If you're running a super-critcal server, use 2.2.x or even 2.0.x. (not 2.4)
No, they wouldn't. Maybe an IIS buffer overflow got through and wreaked havok on the internet? Ohhhhh... that......

Look at it backwards: ofracs. Heh.

This is for the AOL Login protocol, not the AIM protocol. It took me a while to figure that out, so maybe this will help someone.

Yes, because the security hole is in MS Internet Explorer. There is nothing in the OS that would affect this.

The plural is emaux.
Kinda like emacs, right?
