I'm sure I read somewhere that during the Gulf War the Allies had problems trying to disrupt Iraqi communications as the Iraqis were using a TCP/IP-based network similar in configuration to the Internet.
If the plug is eventually pulled on the KPNQWest network how drastic will the effect be?
I don't see any harm in/. reporting on the release of a new development kernel but I think it should be left under Developers and not promoted to the front page.
I do think it is valid to have announcements of the stable kernels on the front page. I'd also like to see those stories take on a standard form, e.g.
Linux 2.4.x Released The latest Linux kernel, 2.4.x, was released today. Changes include {summary} and the changelog can be found here (URL). A list of mirror sites can be found here (URL). Please download the patches to conserve bandwidth.
Why are RR chnaging the Organization reference? What do they hope to achieve? The article hints at advertising but how many newsreaders display this line by default and how many people actually display full headers when reading their mail? And how many people would switch providers just because it was mentioned in an e-mail header?
With a bog-standard analogue TV and aerial in the UK you can receive BBC1 and BBC2 (free of commercials, funded by TV licence), ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, which are funded by advertisments.
Books inspire and encourage your imagination. An author can describe a scene in so much detail, but your mind fleshs out the rest.
For example, take Lord of the Rings. Anyone who has read the book will have their own ideas about how they imagine Middle Earth and the characters look like. Now take the recent film of LotR. That is Peter Jackson's interpretation of the characters. Anyone who reads the book after seeing the film will, more than likely in their mind's eye, envisage the characters and scenery as per the film.
Not quite right there. If you can prove to the TV licencing authorithy that the TV is only being used in the capacity of a monitor and is not connected to a means of receiving broadcasts (aerial, Sky box, cable box, have the tuner disabled) then you do not need to pay for the TV licence. Basically, the TV licence is a licence to receive broadcasts.
Then it must be time for the following posts: - how KDE kicks GNOME's butt - GNOME is now a dead-end for the Linux desktop - why GNOME 2.0 will be better - KDE looks too much like Windows - KDE loading times - KDE/GNOME are bloated, use iceWM/XFCE/Blackbox/whatever - who needs a GUI? the command line is where it's at - people making lists of expected posts:)
... if the main reason behind the Intel parents decision is that their children may be exposed to computers containing AMD chips.:)

2.5.4 Kernel Out
·
· Score: 4, Informative
See that middle number of the kernel version? Note that it is of the form 2n-1 where n>0, otherwise known as an odd number. Now, in the Linux world this means that it is a development kernel. D-E-V-E-L-O-P-M-E-N-T. In other words, extreme beta.
So, unless you wish to contribute to the kernel development or want a range of unknown problems, stick with the even middle-numbered kernels.

I thought the Internet routed around damage?

Redhat only increment the major version number if the release will break binaries compatability.
As the website appears to be /.ed at the moment, to save load on the download server is it possible to download packages to upgrade from 641d?

Personally, I don't see the point of novelty mice either. Give me an ergonomically designed mouse with a scroll wheel and at least one thumb button.
Heh. I realised that I'd been playing The Sims too much when I started thinking about my various needs in terms of Sim status bars.
Oop! Bladder bar turning red. Back in a minute.
