Nah. Mandrake typically has a loong testing cycle. They Don't *usually* suffer from the "don't buy point-oh releases" that Red Hat has tended to suffer from. They will probably release beta 2 next month and maybe beta 3 shortly thereafter. Then they will move from beta, into release canidates where they typically will go to rc3 or rc4 over the span of 2-3 months. Mandrake is a ways off from actually releasing 10.
Hpw much would a mouse weigh on mars? For that matter a human? I've seen those "If you weighed 150 lbs. on Earth you'd weight x lbs. on y". posters before, but now google is failing me and I can't find one:-/
What if it fails? What would you do with the pics you snapped *hoping* it worked? Would you still make a website so we can all see the mangled iBook?
Perhaps you could find some way of turning it into an iBookquarium?
Well, since you can't read articles apparently, (hey it wouldn't be slashdot if not for you;-) NASA say's this technology only works, if you know where it is already. You have to know the landscape and what it looked like _BEFORE_ you can try to figure out which dot is beagle.
For example they say they know where the rover is because they parked it next to a rock they named "Yogi". Well they know about where Yogi was, and where all most of the dots were before it landed, therefore they look for the new dots near objoects where they expect it to be.
Not even the ESA knows where beagle is, you have to try to pick a dot out of something that _might_ have tumbled down a crater? Fat chance.
I was working on a cisco access list one day, and was working on blocking IM clients per my manager. I tested it when I was done and sure enough, it blocked the clients, they could no longer log in. Satisified with myself I went to browse to slashdot. "hmmmm Slashdot must be down" I thought. So I tried somewhere else, maybe my computer is having problems. Then the IS phone started ringing off the hook. Dammit! Everyone is down. Nobody can do anything. Email is down, Web is down, VPN is down. I went to go look at my access list, but my terminal connection to cisco wasn't working either. Walked back to the server room, and rebooted the router (I never EVER save to nvram for at least a week). Everything came back online. I went and looked at my access list and forgot the allow rule at the end. All cisco access lists have an invisible "deny all" at the end, and I just forgot to say "allow all" oops.
The end of the day tally? at least 7 locations and 2 states.
I'd like to put it on my handspring. Is there a way to upgrade the OS? I don't see a "Buy it now!" or "Upgrade here!" button anywhere. Will this just go to new devices being sold?
At $.010 for a three-minute call, the cost is three to eight times less expensive than regular wireline service.
What's remarkable about this is it goes over the same exact equipment. YOu can't tell me that the telcos can't compete with this.
Sourceforge is open source, why not go d/l that. YOu can use CVS as an easy way to switch around and do upgrades. YOu can develop a site, then run upgrade via cvs and if something unexpected breaks, downgrade via cvs. Once you get the infrastructure in place things like that would be a breeze.
This interests me greatly. What if you created a freedos partition on your linux box, then you could download the images directly to/mnt/freedos, reboot into freedos, run the program, and reboot back into linux. This sounds like a really simple permanent solution. Of course short-term, just create a freedos floppy and boot from that. I think I might try making my next server without a floppy and testing this out.
Why couldn't they make a bootable downloadable iso image? Sure you lose a CD, but really, the last time I used a floppy it was just to upgrade the BIOS.
I know OpenBSD has a really small downloadable iso for netowork installs. They could use a similar thing, but instead of formatting drives, and installing an OS, it could just boot and run the BIOS flash program. Easy, os agnostic, wouldn't require any work once the bootable image was done.

I agree completely. My point is, you have a better chance of it working in poor weather under a forest canopy if it will work inside a house, without a clear line of sight to the sky. Of course it depends on many things, how well the roof is built using what materials for houses, and how wet and dense/how many layers in the canopy, and how thick and wet the clouds are. If it doesn't say "Works INDOORS!" chances are good that it will lose connection when it's in your pocket. That's all I'm saying.
How well does it work indoors (if it works indoors it works under wet trees with cloud cover)
Waterproof
if you fish then floating might be neat
Does it give you a bearing if you are standing still? This could be soved with a simple compass but still, it's nice to have embedded in the device.
Maps are nice, does it have pluggable modules?
Also, if you are going to be in the woods, like say geocaching with buddies, it's nice to have one with the built-in two way radio.
I havn't used it to connect to exchange either, but beware: You WILL have problems if you try install on Solaris 9. While evolution is compatible solaris 9, the installer isn't. It's often easier to install solaris 8 (when you can) and upgrade to 9.
If you have clients already running on 9 be prepared for some tough installs. There is some source code available if you browse google groups, that you can use to compile a custom version of "uname" (although I never got it to work). I did try making a bash script and naming it uname. It took basic inputs and reported the system to be solaris 8. That got me farther, but never succesfully all the way through.
Why exchange by the way? Can't you just install phpgroupware and use that calender? It's compatible with the iCal protocol. Exchange sucks IMHO.
At least "the man in black" is cool. Probably the only country music I like. It's a bit like drinking beer at 14 though, until you've done it 15 or 20 times, it won't start tasting good.
I once got Vanilla Ice, which is more like drinking melted rubber.
If there's any rivers nearby, you could relatively easily make a multiple solution generator. Build a small water-wheel type generator, a windmill, and a solar generator.
Then run these into a UPS (or 2), and you should have power as long as
you have daylight
the river is flowing
there is a breeze
If all of the above fail, you have 2-8 hours of UPS power (depending on how big and how many UPSs you get), and 2-3 hours of battery in the laptop (make that 4-6 if you get a spare battery). You could make it through a frozen, long, dark, and still Alaskan night with that setup.
You'll be set...and still nerdy;-)
Well I find it awkward, I fell like a rollerskating pig when using it. It may be a simple case of it being kinda old, as someone mentioned below about novell. The version of AIX I'm presently using is 4.2. Are the newer versions better?
I will say that I have never seen AIX crash....ever. I just find it weird to administer (doing things through smit mainly), when compared with Solaris, BSD, or Linux.
Slashdot Mirror
I hate to reply to myself, but there's also ThinkGeek.
You want something more than the high-school dork calculator watch (I had a few of those)?
Try the Timex GPS watch.
This seems like a sucky time to bring out 10.0.

I'll crawl your network for 10 grand!

This has been a banner add on the top of slashdot for the last month or 2. *sigh*

And of course here's the images of Beagle for those who missed it.

that's the way I do do it. But what about people who don't have access to that OS? hrm, would freedos? or pcdos do the trick?
