This is not a SOFTWARE development box. So, really, there is most likely no need for all those disks. Unless they are testing the IO or something. -- "What beats rock?" "Nuthin' beats rock!"
I agree that Mitnick engauged in criminal activity. But he also did his time in prison for it.
Not letting him use computers is (I guess) understandable, because of the amount of damage he caused. But not letting him talk about computers? Come on, that's just spite.
If I remember correctly, in the initial release Transmeta said something about the chips being made available only to manufacturers. The question is, are they going to use all the new loot to ramp up production, and if so, can John Q. Linux (ha) get his hands on one?
"Of course, life will be so purposeless that people will have to be biologically or psychologically engineered either to remove their need for the power process or make them "sublimate" their drive for power into some harmless hobby."
With all of the references to Michaelangelo, this statement really stuck me as odd. The author is stating that without mundane tasks (work / job) to do, that everyone would be bored and useless. Hardly. That would be when humans would have a chance to explore the mind, the arts, the stars and everything else that we dont have time for right now because of Business Meetings and Sales Promotions and programming crunches etc.
With all of the references to Star Trek, I thought that this connection would be made clear. Trek always says how "they did away with money, and hunge, and need" etc. Exactly. Let the bot fix my transmission. I wanna play music or some such thing.
"Human beings were not meant to sit in cubicles and stare at computer screens." - Office Space
"They are the best trained group of networking professionals on the planet; the world listens to them, and follows their advice and insight."
That statement is quite a pile of sh*t. Marketroids and PHB's may hang on their every word, but I have met quite a few morons that, through rote memorization, have scored their MCSE. I respect someone who has 10 years field experience much more than someone with 1 year and a MickeySoft cert.
OK, though I dont like Katz, I was hoping that this interview would provide him a platform to change his image in my and many others eyes.
Instead, I get a 4742 word article. Come on. Even though I am at work, I dont have the patience nor the inclination to read something that long by someone I already dislike.
Having read many accounts of your interactions with the staff of attrition.org, it seems to me that your claims against them are generally unproven and rash. Their rebuttals are always filled with detailed fact and systematic, step by step analysis of the topic at hand. Please clarify why you feel that attrition.org is such a dangerous force, yet you have neer been able to present HARD EVIDENCE to that point.
I am an American and may have missed something - is there a massive slug problem in Europe? I know that the US has a few slug hot-spots (Oregon, etc) but I was not aware that Europe had any issues with the little beasties.
Give your servers those annoying names that they want, but then set up aliases on your DNS and call them whatever you want. The employer will be happy and so will you.

Nuclear power has always had the POTENTIAL of being an extremely valuable resource. I blame the individuals who mishandle and misuse this amazing, yet potentialy dangerous, power source.
Remember: guns dont kill people, people kill people. (Substitute NUKES for GUNS).
And by the way, the same sentence is 16/30 on the right hand in QWERTY. That seems a bit more balanced; I dont care where the keys are, but if one hand is forced to do 80% of the work, it is NOT going to be as fast as a 50/50 split.
Thin Clients are, fundamentally, a return to dumb clients, which I have always thought were appropriate in business settings. Dumb terminal, dumb user, blah blah blah
That has to be about the worst written article I have read in a long time, as far as actual writing goes. The sentences were so janky that by the time I got to the end, I had forgotten what the beginning sed. Wahahaaaa
People seem to think that all the new GUI based admin tools and Windoze look alike apps and WM's are dumbing linux down. This may be true. But one of the best features of linux is you can DO WHAT YOU WANT. Don un WinWM or whatever. Dont use LinuxConf. The best thing about linux is that it gives you building blocks. It's up to you to put them togehter.
MS sells manufactured housing. Linux gives away free lumber and nails.
Triumph of the Nerds was a superior piece of documentary work.
Many people (including my mother) watched Pirates and were intrigued. I told them to watch Triumph to get the real (and whole) story, but a non-geek can not seem to commit to a loooonnnnngggg docu about computers. Sigh.
I dunno. Having played Age of Empires for a long time, I found that the computer had a range of personalities. Sometimes it sucked for no reason, other times it just wanted to kick your ass.
Having not tried Civ yet, I am not up on some of the latest technologies. But I do look forward to AOE II (years behind schedule). The overall look/feel/gameplay from AOE I was awsome.
PS: 'Daleks' had good AI and that was in the 80's.

That article was pretty light on content. Anyone else know where some othere pictures might be?

In my eyes, this was a total strikeout.

There was on old fender - really old - that had jass-bass style "split" pickups. Cant remember the name right now.
By the way, they say it is "loosely" based on a strat. But then again, every guitar made after '54 was "loosely" based on a strat.
And by the way, the same sentence is 16/30 on the right hand in QWERTY. That seems a bit more balanced; I dont care where the keys are, but if one hand is forced to do 80% of the work, it is NOT going to be as fast as a 50/50 split.

Well, a cursory test on a dvorak layout made it seem really "right-hand" centric. Typing:
"This is a new layout and I dont like it."
was roughly 75% right hand. If my KB was a twiddler, maybe...

Launch apps / file system from a server? Sounds kinf od like X, doesn't it?
X may be a bit clunky at times, but i think the concept of a central application server is awsome. Upgrade software? 1 machine.
