I'm running the dhid daemon (www.dhis.org) on my laptop, so that no matter where I connect to the 'net, I would have the same domain name. I guess it would work just as well if it were stolen from me.
Uhhh... that's not a movie that I'm eager to see done. The book was too good, and they'll probably make it into yet-another-commercial-picture like so many times before.
Of course, Kubrick was the exception, but there's nobody left...
I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago, and got it yesterday; it's actually nice, for the sum I paid. My friend whom I share the appartment with also got his. Cool, now we can turn each other's lights on and off...
I'm currently a Prodigy customer for dial-up internet. The service is good, but when it came down to setup the connection in Linux, I basically got no help whatsoever. Fortunately, there was a page setup by someone that had managed to do it by himself, and it got me up and running as well. They aren't Linux-hostile, but certainly not friendly, either. Maybe it's going to change now?
"Falsely identify with the intent to deceive or defraud the recipient or forge commercial electronic mail transmission information or other routing information in any manner in connection with the transmission of unsolicited bulk commercial electronic mail through or into the computer network of an electronic mail service provider or its subscribers.
It doesn't look like using a spamproof address is illegal - since you're not using it to "deceive or defraud", are you?
I understand you completely - that's exactly what I did (swap on zip) when I first tried RH 5.2, coming from Slackware, as well.
One more thing: autoprobing of the video card is nice, but you should be able to change the default server, if you _want_ to, during the install. I had a ATI Xpert98, which I already knew didn't behave too well with the Mach64 server, but worked like a charm with the SVGA one. It was impossible to change the server from Mach64 during the install, moreover, no other server than the default one was even unpacked, so I had to go get the rpm manually from the CD when it was over. Had this happened to a newbie (or journalist), he'd have run away screaming.
I remember reading last fall a press release from Samsung, saying they had in the make a 1Gbit chip (which would make 1Gbyte modules...), and that it would be commercially available in the spring. I was just about wondering if they would keep the promise. Looks like they did.
With RAM prices falling the way they do, we'll soon be able to keep the whole contents of a HDD in the main memory. After all, it's almost trivial to have as much as 1GB in your home machine right now (I don't, but the RAM in my PII machine is already 1.5x the HD of my secondary system, a 486DX2).
The storage while the machine is off could still be done on a regular HD (or flash memory); upon boot, it gets loaded in RAM; regular update of the HD from buffers in the ramdisk takes place, but this can be done asynchronously, and should not affect much the performance.
Argument: how about power failures? Reply: can you say UPS?
Now that you mention it, I remember the guys selling "K7" (bootlegged cassettes) in the streets around Chatelet, when I was in Paris. Funny I didn't remember it earlier...must be getting old.
Good thing it comes out this year, they can dub it "Athlon 99". How goofy does "Athlon 00" sound? Or would it be "Athlon 2K"?

Actually, the laminated rat (or was it mouse?) brains was an earlier idea, not much developed afterwards; I personally prefer the Partners. "The Game of The Rat and of The Dragon" is one of my favorites to this day:) Wish I had one of those pinlit machines.
I have a '93 486 mobo with a bios from them. I don't remember the specifics, since I rarely reboot it (it's my IP masquerading firewall now, video card-less, and it's a loooong time since it last had a monitor attached, for configuration purposes:), but there were a lot of cool things inside: choice of up to 8 IDE devices and 4 FDDs, the resources of which could be allocated in the bios, etc. It's a Hippo DCA2 from Octek.
...and, belive me, as time goes by, we _will_ see more and more of it. Before you flame me, hear my reasoning:
1. It shows the big boys really started to poo in their pants. Just to know this, and I get a fuzzy warm feeling inside.
2. Builds character. If you resisted the temptation to flame the poor guy, there's probably good advocate stuff in you.
3. It will probably keep Joe Average off Linux...for now. Come to think about it, do we _really_ want him to switch? OK, I guess we do. But, does it have to happen _right_now_? Let me hear those arguments again...

No, they're not. At least in 4.51, they're...gifs. /usr/lib/netscape/nethelp

Is it just me, or is the "complete story" link on the msnbc site broken?
No tax for New York - but, I guess they'll charge you if you live in New Jersey, since they have a branch in Closter, NJ.

I still have a couple of these machines around - great for (really old) games, and for home automation projects.
It's Linux 2.2.x
Well...I'm looking forward to seeing the cops bursting into a theater where an action or horror movie is shown, because someone weared this WonderBra.
"Now what if they did that with the email addresses of all state and federal legislators? :)"

Belive me or not, I've seen someone on the usenet doing just this - using addresses from ftc.gov

OK, maybe they misspelled it, we should probably read 90 giga"bites" :P

So, you see, there's no hope but AMI. But for how long?
