No. HTML shouldn't be used for formatting a web page. If you want your page to look any better than just a plain grey text page, you need to make your site into one great big GIF. Need a link? imagemap. Simple enough?
They seem to have forgotten Linux on the list of OSes that support the StrongARM processor (Corel Netwinder). It's nice to see that there will most likely be a new generation of faster netwinder machines.
I have heard that these machines have amazing SMP capabilities. Anyone know anything about this?
Hey! I liked Hackers myself. I laughed at how unreal it was. The "secure" system with just a password, no username (or the reverse depending on how you want to think about it). The completley graphical systems. The psycadelic worm program. THe large amounts of viruses unleased on the seemingly Unix systems.
Take of the martyr hat for a minute. I don't recall saying that you should expect to be treated differently. If you need a different frame of reference, picture the Trenchcoat Mafia who made it into the news. They intentionally dressed and acted differently. Folks who dye their hair purple or wear a safety pin through their cheek seem to want attention too. Does that make them bad people? No. Does it mean that they are going to get attention? Yep.
In my experiance, People who dye their hair purple or wear a safety pin through their cheeks are just different to begin with. Just another way of dealing with it.
I was different. I was tormented for it. I suffered from depression.
The TCM was different. probably tormented. So they killed.
Dying hair/extreme piercings/etc is generally just a way of saying Screw You. They're tormented for being different, so they make themselves more different.
I seem to be well suited for this place. High school (and school in general) was the worst time of my entire life. Just like so many people here, I was an outcast for being different. Right up until the last two years of school.
Every since elementary school I had been tormented and teased by the jocks/popular kids at my school. I turned the opposite way of the kids in Colorado though. I did hate the kids who had been harrassing me, but mostly I hated myself. I was suicidal until a few years after I had graduated. I even still get that way myself at times (I'm 21 now). My first thoughts of killing myself were all the way back in 6th grade or so.
The tormenting stopped my junior year of high school though. It wasn't because they thought better of it. It wasn't because I became well liked. It was simply due to a growth spurt. Generally you don't pick on someone who's 6'5".
I also ended up spending the last 2 years of high school in the computer lab for about 25% of every day. You also don't harrass the guy who's helping you with the software to get your computer working.
Even today I have trouble seeing myself fitting into any groups. I have trouble meeting new people (except online) because my self-esteem is shot to hell. I never talk to girls in bars. I never talk to them at all really unless someone specifically introduces me to them. My last few relationships are with people that I met online. In fact, I've only dated one girl that I hadn't met online, and that one was a matter of convience.
Well, I'll stop my rambling now, but my basic point is, while I don't condone what happened, I can see how it happened. Life is cruel. It always will be if you're anything besides the generic jock clone. The best you can do is seek out others like you, and keep them in your life instead.
Cost of 6.0 (or, supporting GNOME)

RedHat 6.0 is Out
·
· Score: 1
For 5.2, there was the standard edition for $39.99, and the secure edition for $79.99.
The Secure edition included Apache SSL 128 bit encrypted version, and most likely Netscape 128bit encrypted.
Actually, I was testing some voice recognition software, and my sister pulled that trick on me. STarted yelling "format, delete, erase".
I'm not sure if that normally would have worked, but I was using a demo version of the software that only worked with a few example phrases, so nothing bad happened.
Just wondering.. I've used Redhat 5.1/5.2... Did I miss the section of the CD-ROM where they include wine? I personally didn't see it anywhere on the cd, and I went to download it myself.
And beyond that. Gimp is included in EVERY Linux distrubution that I know about. Why do you only have a problem with Redhat? The other companies/groups sell their distribution too you know (besides Debian, and I'm not sure about slackware).
None of the Linux developers seem to have problems with this, so why are you fighting a crusade for them?
Another Question Regarding Upgrade

Red Hat 6.0

If you're upgrading from 5.2 to 6.0 by reformatting, you shouldn't even need to use Disk Druid. Keep the same partitions are before. It'll ask you which partitions you want to format, and you just select all partitons you want to be deleted (making sure not to choose your home directory).
Just make sure that your home directory is actually on a seperate partitions.
Don't be so sure about that. Burger King delivered at one point in West Roxbury (Techincally part of Boston) I never actually had it delivered, but i remember reading an AD about it. Not too much exposure though.. I'm guessing that's why they stopped. Not much demand
Cracking (at least when done technically, otherwise I'm not sure) is a special case of hacking, so saying `hacker' when referring to a `cracker' is correct, but not the other way around (unless the hacker is indeed a cracker, of course).
I'd have to disagree with you there. They're more like two groups that commonly overlap. Someone can be a cracker without being a hacker. aka script kiddies. Someone can be a hacker without being a cracker as well. But it's very possible to be both

Is it just me or does this sound like trouble? Especially since it sounds like most of the wearables mentioned in the article are running Windows (I don't recall hearing about NetMeeting for Linux!).
I wouldn't exactly call that trouble. Most standard PCs and laptops come with Windows installed on them as well. Dosen't mean you need to KEEP it on there. I'm sure Linux would be ported to them rather quickly.

There actually were quite a few changes with the 6.0 release.
Redhat 6.0
glibc 2.1
gnome 1.0
kde 1.1
The unstable 5.9 that your friend was playing around with was actually the 6.0 beta. Which explains the short availability, and the bugginess.

Is there anything you can't sell at eBay? Any day now we'll probably be bidding on illegally imported cases of Cuban cigars. Crazy.

All you need is a seller in Canada, and they won't be illegally imported.
Until you buy them of course
You seem to be forgetting that Wine has two seperate parts.
An "emulator" of sorts, which is the more well known part, and libraries used to port applications.
Wordperfect is going to be using the latter. They use Winelib to help port the applications.
The point that's being here is not if what happened is good or bad (obviously it's bad.)
The point is why it happened.
That's what everyone is trying to figure out.
But the media/schools/parents are blaming it on video games and movies.
No one here seems to agree that this is what drove them to murder. More likely they were driven to it by their fellow students.
It's still just as bad.. but if you're going to address the problem, you should address the correct one.
