This happened to my friends - luckily they were both out of town at the time, and *used* each of their bank cards. The bank gave them an automatic, free overdraft for the amount taken, but it took them about a week to get the money back. (TD Canada Trust, in case you were wondering)
Banks are insured, y'know...but I have to wonder, if they weren't out of town (and able to prove it) would they have been so forthcoming?

Um...this is 911 we're talking about here. I pay 25 cents on my phone bill for 911 service. God forbid, I ever have to use 911 - but I'm thankful it is there. Good for the FCC.
Judge for yourself. In the short time since this book was published, some of the dramatic discoveries that were forecasted in its pages have already materialized:
I *thought* boot time was a bit faster, but I for some reason I thought it was just me. I guess it is a *bit* faster on boot. I honestly didn't see an appreciable increase in speed though. It just could be GNome:) (SMACK -1 troll, I know, but I don't use KDE)
I haven't noticed *any* differences on the desktop. ALSA is nice, kernel config is easier, but other than that...nothing noteworthy over 2.4.19 (my last kernel). Am I missing something? Oh, and I *still* can't get my USB mic to work (help!).
Slackware with Dropline, btw. I do notice that Java tends to take up 250MB of RAM every once in a while while running Firebird. I didn't have that problem with 2.x.x.

Surely this isn't related to SCO and what they've stated about the GPL, is it? XFree86 and now Apache?
cross your eyes...it's cheaper.
Well, I hope you're not an English professor...
Did I mention free?
They need money too!
Another /. book advertisement?
C'mon...
I have a swap file. It's almost 1GB. The OS just doesn't use it.
P4 2.2, 768MB RAM. NO swapping :).

Not even close, pal.
Webcams might be a good idea. Plus, I'm sure you'd find that they can be useful for...well...Use your imagination.
