The NVidia driver only appears to support ACPI, not APM. Quite a bit out on google about that issue. There is a patch of some type that forces it to behave nicely, but I haven't tried it yet (the patch doesn't match the latest driver very well). I'm about to load an ACPI enabled kernel later today though, and see how much breaks:>
They already did. Netware 6, Native File Access. Netware servers look like Windows servers to Windows, Appletalk servers to Mac.
Combined with Perl being available, and fully integrated with NDS, as well as a full Apache and Tomcat suite, life is nice. It means my talents extend to yet another platform.
Hell, the Netware 6 boot sequence looks like the init sequence from a linux box.
I'll disagree on one level here (maybe more). You can't carry the Internet with you on a plane, or on the toilet, or on long bus rides/train rides. Sure, you can mirror a site, but what if what you want is linked offsite?
Dead tree format is -still- a good resource. I use both - net when I need something quick, and if that fails, or I'm not near the net, a book.
Considering the Sophos virus announce list spits out a message every few hours these days, I doubt Slashdot will be posting each new virus that hits the wires.
Sort of sad really, the virus announce list is busier than some of the other lists I'm on.
I run all my mail through postfix, and utilize the header and body regex checks. My spam level has dropped from a few messages a day to 1 or 2 a week, and those typically come from list serves that I pick up via POP3, not ones that deliver right to my system. Toss in an inline AV filter, and procmail, and my life is pretty much junk free.
Same applies to my web browsing - Mozilla -> Proxomitron -> Junkbuster -> Squid -> World.
LanStreamers appear to be buggy no matter WHAT OS you use. Used to use on in a Compaq server with NT 4 Server. Machine would fall over frequently. I've used both the PCI and ISA IBM TR cards under Linux (2.0.x series even!) and they've worked a charm. The place I work has since moved to Fast Ethernet and gigabit fiber backbones, so I no longer use TR, but my experience with it under Linux was just fine.
The.kids domain has come around and around and around. I seem to remember the last/. story said something about Congress wanting the domain. My roomie was saying that the IRC porn channel he was in earlier, the webmasters were discussing something along the lines of "Create the.kids domain. All business that want to cater to children register in the.kids domain. Do virtual hosts if you have to. Parents can then set up the browsers to only allow.kids."
Add in some proper parenting, and that might just work. The parent gets to decided when the child can see the "real world" Internet, but until that point, it would be reasonably sandboxed. Personally, nothing beats proper parenting, but that's just me.
Hasn't anyone gthere heard of an air gap style perimiter? I can't think of any reason why the grid control computers should even have ANY links to the "real world" networks. Sure, perhaps so that they can be controlled from workstations on your LAN, but IMO, that's not really smart.
Well, given I already pay 50 - 65 cents a disk (central PA), I'll welcome a raise in price to 40 cents. Now, if the article is just badly worded, and its a 35 - 40 cent increase *shrug* buck a CD isn't that bad for semi-perm storage.

Reasonable I think. However, reading further states:

Reading the appendix, they'll happily give your home address etc to any member of their VeRO system. I'm not going to pass judgement, but it does make me more and more wary. The last quote also make me wonder... "As a general..." What about times when it isn't general?
Speaking for myself, I definitely prefer printed material for my manuals. With a decent index and TOC, a printed manual is an excellent resource, and it strains the eye less than a CRT or LCD, especially in florescent lighting.
A definite note in favour of paper is that you can read it while in a non-wired area, be that the bathroom, the bath, in bed, or out in a field. Even more in favour in my opinion is that it doesn't require me to flip between windows/programs, breaking my train of thought. If I need to know how something works, look it up in the index, and read the page, while the question is still on the screen (code, application, whatever).
Yes, digital manuals can be good, but they don't beat paper imo.
While I am not sure if I agree entirely with Mr. Gold, I'll admit that he has certainly set me thinking. If indeed, hydrocarbons are found on other planets where we can see no trace of organic life (granted, what we can see isn't always what is/was there) then the theory that we need organic matter to create hydrocarbons is a load of bunk.
If nothing else, he has given us some definite food for thought. Perhaps he'll even be right. I must say, I find it interesting that the article mentioned I think only one case where he was wrong. Too much of the "he got this right" for me.. I prefer a bit of a balance.
While no one can accurately predict the long distance future (ie, saying that Fred will each lunch in 5 minutes doesn't count), I think A.C. Clarke is definitely along the right track. I do find some of the concepts a little far fetched, but then again, that is only because of the limitations of current tech.
Even if only half of what he writes comes true (I'd love to see nukes go and cold fusion arrive), then we've got an interesting century ahead of us. Even "better", I have the chance of seeing up until about 2060 if my health doesn't fail me early. This is one to archive somewhere and compare against every 10 years.
In which case, WoTC should have had this suit against them ages ago when MtG came out. You would buy a booster pack, and there was a chance that you got a nice rare card. You didn't have to sell it, the market didn't have to make it expensive. Same applies here. There is nothing that says you must sell a rare card for $xx, it is entirely your choice. And as others have pointed out, the parents could have easily realised that their children were spending an excessive amount of money on game cards. Also, what happened to "I'll give you 4 Creeps for a Sacred"? (FF8 anyone?)
Well, from what I've seen, NT isn't too bad as a DNS. The one on campus has an uptime rivaling the Linux boxen, and definitely beats the Netware boxen. Add VNC, and its remotely administerable, even over a modem.
There I was, happily watching the intro, and starting to drool slightly when the window vanishes, and my xterm sayeth: BUG! (Segmentation Fault) Going down hard...
Homesite can be located at www.allaire.com. I've used it a bit, reasonably impressed with it. I tend to use HTML editors to get the basic code laid out, then hit it with vi or jed (usually vi these days, jed is iffy on an AIX console). A guy I work with uses Homesite extensively, and is very impressed with the latest version - it has CSS editors, syntax colouring for javascript, perl, html and more. There is a 30 day trial, then it costs money.

Meh, Verizon DSL spammed one of my users. I'm still considering a registered-snail-mail LART to their board of Directors.
Make Windows understand xmodmap and you'd be set :) I can carry custom layouts around already.. but Windows doesn't know what to do with them!

Add some TT fonts to your XFS server. I copied mine from my windows install. Worked wonders.

XFree 4 already runs under Cygwin - which is where I understood this port of Debian runs.. so that is already done.

Of course, it may have been a dress rather than a CD player..

Did that.. that worked... yet the README says 2.1 for RH 6.x.. which I have.. wierd. Cool game though.. might give me reason to start gaming again.
