One interesting innovation nowadays is the combination of the internet and radio.. now it is possible to talk to people across the country by linking repeaters up to to the internet, as well as allowing one to listen to them online, such as at the infamous 435 repeater in LA:
Listen to the 435 repeater. As a ham and someone who uses computers a lot, I can say that a lot of the technological stuff goes back and forth, and both hobbies are quite interesting.

I would say, no, she would not benefit. I have been running FreeBSD 5.3-RC2 since before Slashdot said that it came out, and it is wonderful; my non-linux compatible WiFi card works fine with the NDIS Project Evil. But as far as I know, ACPI support still does not support CPU scaling, battery monitoring, or orher nice features, so I would recommend a recent Linux distro over FreeBSD (I was using Gentoo, but it was acting up, and I wanted to try 5.3. I have used SuSE on here as well, and it seemed okay). Of course, I could be quite wrong, as I have not looked in to how to do a lot of the ACPI stuff, but I assumed that it was not supported. So FreeBSD is awesome, but for someone who is newer, or wants more support, I would not recommend it.
I am from Norhtern VA, but attend college in Pittsburgh, were I witnessed the total lunar eclipse. Incidentally, I also met a girl from the res hall in front of which I was standing. All in all, a good night, but I think that the eclipse was visible over quite a large area.
So we saw this coming, I suppose, and while most of us do not like it, it is finished. This is a testament both to Kerry's character as well as America's democratic process. I wish the candidates the best of luck now that it is over, and I hope that America does not go to hell.
Yes, the KC135 was a tanker AirCraft, and that was the original use. The "K" means tanker. There were other versions if the C-135 (really a converted Boeing 707) as well, such as the E/RC-135 for electronic surveilance and radar, which I believe detected the radiation from Chernoble. There was also the VC-135 (VIP), which was used as Air Force One for several years. All in all, a widely used aircraft.
told they had to have a driver's liscence to vote. an obvious lie
I do not know how it is down there, but in Virginia, you do need a Driver's Liscence to vote if you did not have your voter's card. That is how they checked off that you had actaully voted and made sure that it was you who was voting.
Well, I think that the problem was that I had packages as well as ports, as someone else pointed out. The problem was that there was another program that depended on the same dependency, and it refused to upgrade because of that. I think that it might have to do with mixed ports, and packages though.
I think that this was my problem- combining the two. In the future, if I do another FreeBSD install (which I may on my laptop once 5.3 comes out, since it should have NDIS support), then I will try not to install any packages. Of course, I think that X is installed from packages, so I will have to be careful. That is good advice, though.
I do all that, and use portupgrade, I just did not see how to do upgrades without having do manually remove the old packages/ports. On Gentoo and Debian, it is automagic. I can do it fine manually, and it works great, but I could not find a way to do it automagically. Thanks, though.
As a user of FreeBSD and OpenBSD, I must say that I have been quite satisfied with both, especially FreeBSD. While it could use some help in the ports and upgrading department, it is all around a wonderful piece of software, and it is quite interesting to watch the development of all the BSDs. Way to go!
I have been upgrading kernels ever two or so sub release (I am currently running 2.6.8.1). But it that really necessary? It seems that there is much more upgrading than there needs to be. Obviously, some people will need the new kernel, but it seems that often, once the kernel works well for my hardware, why should I keep upgrading? Any thoughts? I am probably overlooking something obvious.
Yeah, it says that he is good at virtual 3-d racing games, and so the applications of how he plays those games can work with the wheelchair. It is very interesting, and could be quite useful in the future.
Well, we can mod you flamebate (unless we have just posted in this discussion), but we would do that because you gave no reason why this is stupid.
Perhaps it is stupid because people in business suits do not want to have to pedal around during meetings, or because its high cost seems that the money would be better sent on nice furnishings for a conference room (or new technology for one that already has furniture), or just because it would be too distracting to have conferences while on a bike.
I wonder whether this also has to do with Firefox's more varied use. I have used it on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Many Linuces, as well as Linux. It seems that regardless of the browser used, any of those systems other than Windows would have a better security situation anyway. While it is still better on Windows, overall, I would say, that a large amount of its relatively low rate is the non-windowsness.
Those of us that use Linux for our games are not effective at all.
With the amount of time that I have spent playing Nethack instead of doing work (like right now, when I am playing Nethack, reading e-mail, and posting to Slashdot from a Linux cluster instead of studying for my 21259 exam tomorrow, I would say that he might be right, although there is a Windows port for Nethack.
As someone who has used multiple Un*x-like OSes, such as FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Gentoo Linux, Debian GNU/Linux (and I am not a zealot for any of them - imagine that!), and others, I have found that if I want to know about saomething or how to do something, FreeBSD has always been the best at having the information availiable. It is very easy to find what I need to know, and everything seems done very logically. Good Job, guys!
NetBSD is the open flavour of the free BSDs that I have not tried out. I used FreeBSD quite a bit, and liked it, and I am using OpenBSD on my webserver, primarily because it has native AFS support (I am at CMU), and it does not seem as easy to upgrade or get up to date ports as FreeBSD. I am wondering how NetBSD is. I know the guy who is trying to port AFS to NetBSD and Kernel 2.6 in Linux, and he said that they are making progress. Is there a reason, other than curiosity, to use it? (The curiosity may win in the end anyway, I go through OSes pretty fast.) It seems like an interesting concept.
I am reminded of that Futurama episode where they are stranded on the planet with the energy being and the cast of Star Trek; the energy creature is yelling at the cast during his fan script rehearsal, and Leonard Nimoy says, "You must respect your actors. When I directed Star Trek IV, I got an excellent performance out of Bill because I respected him" and Shatner responds with "And when I directed Star Trek V, I got an excellent performance out of me, because I respected me so much". Yeah, good old Shatner.

Geez, shouldn't they be using X11 by now? I mean, how long has it been out?

Semper ubi Sub ubi -
Semper is Latin for "always",
Sub is Latin for "under",
and ubi is Latin for "Where".
That should help.

Um, it would seem that Nader will not get any votes with this program. You wish!

But it certainly is interesting.

At least he never posted his phone number, screenname, and e-mail address on Slashdot like somepeople.
