You're allowed to talk about child porn, though. Imagine that, instead of getting modded down, you got arrested for mentioning child porn. That's China.
> You need to free up some time brother because I finished all those games before breakfast. Sheesh.
Yes, and he's busy writing free software or working or getting an education. What a shit, huh. Working... psh. (sarcasm)
And he probably doesn't maintain a Linux box just for games. He maintains for working and sometimes feels like fragging something. If you want to get real computer work (typesetting, modeling, programming, etc.) done, you use *nix. (Yeah yeah I know, Windows is great. Whatever.)

I'll laugh at SCO if I want to thank you very much.
I personally like to see SCO denial of serviced to kingdom come.
Free software is neither good nor evil. SCO are evil. It depends on the people who run the stuff.
Look a whole group of people obviously didn't write this virus. There isn't a sourceforge project named MyDoom. If the media or public can't figure that out then screw them.
SCO can kiss my arse.
This is right. Just because Bruce is "important" doesn't mean he can tell us what to think. If you agree with him, great. If you're laughing your ass off at the fact that SCO.com is down, that's fine too. Think for yourself. As some troll said, "You are not ambassadors of your community". He's right. Bruce is. You aren't. You need not act mature on behalf the Linux community (you might want to be mature if you plan on spreading your genetic material, but that's another story).
I'm not condescending. But I do use linux and am probably an anti-social geek without a girlfriend:(
Oh well. At least I have my computer!

You must be using one of those old and technologically outdated Linux distros like RedHat, SuSE, or Gentoo.
All I do is apt-get update && apt-get install mydoom and I'm good to go. All the dependencies are retrieved for me, and I don't even have to wait 36 hours for them to compile! Oh yeah, forgot to mention, Debian baby. LOL
This post is directed at all the posts like the parent. Basically, I don't think this hurts the Linux community. Imagine that I use Windows (ha!) or code for M$ (also ha!). Then I go and murder fifteen people. Does that reflect poorly upon me? Yes! Does that reflect poorly on M$? No. It's none of their business if I kill people. That's MY problem. Likewise, if some rogue Linux coder/user/hacker DDoSes SCO, that has nothing to do with Linux. So the Linux community doesn't like SCO. No fucking shit. They're trying to steal our OS, the ones we (not me, but you know what I mean) wrote! So some Linux d00d h4x0rz SCO. Too bad. He can have fun in jail. HE did it (wrote the virus), not the "OSS Community", right?
The writer goes to jail, the OSS community moves on. Big deal. You can't jail a "community" just because someone targets something they hate. If anti-slash.org goes down should CmdrTaco be blamed? No.
Enough examples, yet?:) I'm just saying that the actions of one should not reflect upon the community. And if they do, who cares? What's going to happen? Nobody will buy Linux anymore?:-)
CmdrTaco has no obligation to do anything. He runs this site. That's all. He doesn't control the content. He may *love* DirectTV for all I know. That's his business.
Without his site, though, you probably wouldn't even know that DirectTV was evil. So maybe he helped you out in the long run.
He's helped us all. Don't say that you don't like slashdot. I love it. I don't care what Taco's morals are. His idea of the techno-blog (what it's apparently called now... ewww) was revolutionary, and it's worth coming back to today (thanks to people like you who post good comments!).

I call BS. On my family's XP box (a P4@2.6 GHz) it takes about 20 seconds from the "login" screen to when icons actually appear on the desktop.
My linux box is started up 8 seconds (with services) after LILO passes control to linux. My BIOS takes a bit of time to init, which is why I doubt your 15 second number. My old motherboard took exactly 15 seconds from power-on to taking the monitor out of standby. The new one takes about 3.
Anyway, I think you're lying. To be fair, though, starting services, etc. is going to be time consuming unless you happen to be using a RAM-based disk (which you're not:), no matter what OS you use. At least Linux tells you what it's doing, though.
Actually, diamonds are dirt cheap. Nice ones for your girlfriend are expensive because they're big and clean. But the powder for thermal compound wouldn't be very expensive. Hell, you can probably grow diamonds for thermal compound in a lab cheaply too.
Toothpaste works quite well as thermal compound. As long as it's not air in between the heatsink and core, you're fine. Granted, toothpaste dries out and becomes an insulator, so you shouldn't use that. But the silver, according to a review that I can't find (sorry:( ), doesn't make much of a difference. The white stuff that came on your heatsink is fine. I like the white stuff that thermalright includes with their heatsinks, personally. Nice and sticky-ish. Good stuff, IMO.
Actually, I like silver compound because it's shiny. I like shiny things... (also it's thinner, so you can get a thin layer on your core. But Thermalright suggests that you get a good-sized layer on your core and heatsink, so maybe thin isn't good. I don't really know.)
Linux has supported it for as long as i can remember. Try the xmms-itouch plugin for XMMS. Otherwise you can go into xev, press the key, see what keycode registers and use.Xmodmap to map those keys to F13, F14, etc. Then you can tell your window manager to do interesting things with those keys. Personally, I use the "eyeball" key (on my cordless freedom pro) to close windows. Sooooo convienient.

I think the company who came up (or rather markets) ECC [eliptic curce cryptography] should be careful about saying that ECC is more secure than RSA. RSA has stood up to A LOT of cryptanalysis, simply because of it's age. ECC might have bad keys or something else we don't know about simply because we have not have time to try all attacks yet. Who knows, tomorrow someone may find a trivial algorithm for taking the discrete logarithm on an EC (rendering ECC useless). Then again, someone may find a way of doing a simple discrete logarithm (rendering RSA useless). Both are highly unlikely, but hey -- stranger things have happened.
Basically, take a company's claim with a grain of salt. Right now I'll keep my data encrypted with something more tested (3DES anyone?).
