  1. Re:The best solution on Are Unix GUIs All Wrong? · · Score: 1

    I have the kernel source. The GUI is NOT in the kernel. It's just the GUI is all there is, not all that's possible. You could write a command line for the kernel and not use the GUI.

    WARNING! This is a goatce.cx link! P.S. It said "sony won't say" whether it's for PS III.

  3. why Linux? on FreeBSD 4.1.1 vs. Linux 2.4 · · Score: 1

    I think many people choose Linux over FreeBSD simply because it has a more "revolutionary" feel about it. The license tries to protect it's freeness, the more distributed nature of development, plus the fact that their are distros for the windows newbie, such as Mandrake and Corel, distros for hardcore GNU's like Debian, and distros for those familiar to Unix but new to Linux. (Slackware)

    Notice how in the article, every really bad scenario required the government as the enforcer. Would the libertarians outlaw speakers of the wrong type? No. Require everyone to copyright? No. Set up a large enforcing agency that had to micromanage business transactions? No.

    It's nice to see AMD finally getting their SMP going. Though one would have to wonder, with the extreme heat of T-Birds, could these boards risk heat damage? ( Third Post ?)

    There is an alternative in development. Right now they're finishing 1.0 of vorbis and ogg, the audio and wrapper formats respectively. Tarkin, the video codec, is not really ready to do anything yet, but check here for more info.

    Now, I'm probably goint to be modded down for mentioning the Bible, but I think it's an interesting correlation. In the Bible, it says that one day, no one will be able to buy or sell without the "mark of the Beast". Could these "licenseing fees" and encryption be the first steps?

    That code is NOT GPL'd. It is under a BSD license, so M$ is within their rights to use it in that way.

  10. some info on Juno And Privacy · · Score: 1

    I use Juno. It's a decent ISP, but no where in their current TOS does it say they can do that. This is for the future sometime. However, you have NetZero to thank for this. (All it has now is things that promote their pay service) It sued them for it's primary ad-based strategy, and it "innovated" to survive. , but anyways, this is how you get it to work in Linux. Using Juno's software, start dialing. When you hear the modem handshakes, ctrl-alt-delete, then when the prompt comes up, do ctrl-alt-delete on it again, without answering the question. Then you have a PPP connection. Disconnect, and open the thinger in Dial-Up networking called "Juno Web Conn" click on save password, dial for a second or 2, then cancel. Use the juno sofware again in the same manner. Use revelation or something to get the password, copy the username, put em into a chat script or kppp. No CPU cycles or Ads!!!!!!! Note that you'll need to get new accounts every once in a while if you're a heavy user. Also, their e-mail client works in wine.

  11. Re:The lengths people will go to avoid adoption on Italian, U.S. Scientists Unveil Human Cloning Efforts · · Score: 3

    There is a reason for this drive to pass on one's genes. It's called instinct. All living things exist at the most basic level to pass on their genes to the next generation. The definition of evolutionary success is just that. If the urge to pass on your genes did not exist, species would go extinct.

    It isn't discriminating against any businesses. Both Slackware and Debian are produced by volunteers. Maybe Slackware is under the payroll of Walnut Creek CD, but I think they only distribute CDs.
