Damn right I'm not, I'm sick of the little buggers. I just wanna look up my tech and porn thanks very much. Fuck the children - no wait, that's already taken care of.
It doesn't have to be silent, just quieter than the *ambient* noise. Most living rooms etc have enough noise to drown out a quiet PC. Once you start watching a programme you definitely can't hear it.
Yes, that was an outstanding novel, one of the best examinations of the concept of death I've ever read. And Connie Willis is a god when it comes to characters. And Plots. And Research. And Detail. And Metaphor.
"To Say Nothing Of The Dog"
Love that one, her first novel I ever read. Apparently its part of a planned trilogy, don't think she's written the third one yet.
Seriously, I would hate to live over there for this simple reason, let alone all the war and crime presently over there.
You do realise that nearly all the war over there is being waged by you guys (the USA) and your friends (Israel).
And Iran has a rather lower crime rate than the USA - in fact far less of its population is in jail.
The thing I hate most about ME articles on slashdot dot is the huge number of armchair experts sounding off who know *nothing* about ME countries except what they've heard via US news (i.e propaganda).
Better than that - why don't they launch some predator drones at a wedding party. That way they don't even get hurt themselves! what a monstrous and terrifying concept.
Maybe so, but while I spent a week trying to make Pulse work with 9.04, it just works under 9.10 beta. Even with Skype.
Yeah, it works - kinda hard to get skype work with anything else on Ubuntu karmic. But the sound skips and crackles something chronic and the mic levels had to be turned up to 240% before my voice was audible (yes I have disabled skype auto gain adjuster).
It worked a lot *better* on kubuntu which doesn't use pulse.
They have only threatened Israel with extermination on almost a daily basis
Rubbish - absolute bollocks. Try and find a cite saying Iran threatens Israel with extermination that isn't a MEMWRI plant.
Also - try looking up which country in the middle east has the largest population of jews outside of Israel, even has a seat in the parliament reserved for their jewish population.
We know. We make money on it. But even better is J2ME. Pretty much everything got it. Phones, PDAs, handheld consoles, in-car-systems, you name it. Sure "write once, run everywhere" is just true in theory, because the devices are different. But when you got your JSR-XXX APIs, it gets very close to it. You just have to be very flexible about the hardware caps, including keys, screen, memory, cpu power, sound mixer, etc.
Except if you want to do clever stuff like send sms's access protected api's etc the conflicting signing requirements between telecoms make it impossible to do squat.
I think the GP means printer, serial and USB devices at the *client* end. With RDP you can make a printer or drive attached to your local PC accessible to the application running in your server session. Very handy for local stuff.
Slashdot Mirror
And really, that the netbook is running meego is irrelevant, this can be done with any linux distro.
Not to mention he mistook a DB25 connector for a parallel port.
Clearly you aren't thinking of the children.

Finds the best solution to everything!
Damn commie pinko socialist government run testing program.

The old Analog is 4:3, SD is 16:9 the same as HD, just lower resolution/bitrate.

Funny and Insightful mod option needed.

Myst on the iPhone! awesome!
That tempts me to buy an iPhone, just so I could play Myst on the train.
You call that insipid watered down stuff you drink coffee?
There's a microcosm of your unregulated "free market" in action.
Now back to your corner and masturbating to Ayn Rand audio books.
Wish I had mod points, you are so right.
Use Skype 2.1 (with native Pulse support), not Skype 2.0 (with patented Crack-Addled(TM) audio implenetation).
It was using Skype 2.1.0.47 from the Medibuntu Karmic repos.
Maybe so, but while I spent a week trying to make Pulse work with 9.04, it just works under 9.10 beta. Even with Skype.

Iran is clearly building nukes
There is zero evidence for that, in fact your own CIA reports say Iran is not trying to build nuclear weapons.
Its orders of magnitude more difficult to create weapons grade uranium than what is needed for nuclear power.
Yes, I had swine flu as well
in future i'll not be bothering with tamiflu, i'll just be massively upping my vitamin C intake.
That's what I did. Rode it out at home, megadosed on vitamin C and treated symptoms with Aspirin and Throat Lozenges.
I was off sick for two and a half weeks - 3 days of "Oh my god I have *never* been this sick", then two weeks of being as weak as a kitten.
Yeah - I've had and heard nothing but trouble when it comes to ATI and video playback. NVidia + their binary all the way thanks.
The purist seeks to change the world to fit him, whereas the pragmatist changes himself to fit the world.
Ergo all progress relies on the purists. :-)
Short, Simple and Correct. Choose any two.
Do you know telecoms would be really happy if J2ME apps, not being signed could send messages all over the place without asking user?
Oh yeah, I don't disagree. Mobile apps need to be signed so the potential for abuse can be controlled.
Its just with Symbian C++ apps they only need to be signed by one supplier - symbian, which makes distributing & selling apps much easier.
Java apps have to be signed by the individual telecoms, which makes mass distribution prohibitively expensive and basically impossible.

I don't think NX supports that.
A lot of people prefer to work through the package management system - its makes install/uninstall and dependencies a lot cleaner.
