To ease the load even further, routers should run their own time server for the local side so that all devices on the network could just request the sync'd time from the router. That would prevent further congestion from those same network devices performing the same request down the road.
A person generally tends to sync from the same time server every time. One request beats n-device requests.
Unlike others' rants, I'm more worried about keeping this whole big mess in order. I take the headlines as they come. If I don't care about a particular subject, I simply ignore it and don't say a word about it.
This whole deal has to do with SCO. Caldera plays a role and should be included as a subtopic as well.. but let me restate. This is SCO. The headlines don't read "Caldera Sues Red Hat" or "Caldera Demands Cash From End-users."
C'mon now. At least add a SCO subtopic so this whole mess can be sifted through at a later date. Having it all filed under the Linux topic makes it quite a bit broader than it needs to be.
You'd think after two SCO updates a day eventually it would happen.. but no.. it hasn't.
"At the end of the day, the GPL is not about making software free; it's about destroying value."
I suppose if that is meant as GPL software is starting to really compete with commercial software, thus compromising corporate value, he is correct. Fear the GPL corporate slackers, for eventually it will slay you all.
Have you checked out Openbox? It is a minimalistic window manager based off of Blackbox (Similar to WindowMaker), and adds some nice refining touches. These include scrolling your mousewheel on a window titlebar to shade up and down with ease, optimization for remote X forwarding (runs very nice remotely from my PS2), actually.. just read the About section on the site for the details.
Early detection leads to prevention. I'm not sure what the ramifications would be if one could be prevented, but I have a feeling earthquakes happen for a purpose.

What about using the remote to adjust antenna position to figure out signal string so it can tell where other WiFi robots are. Then again, you wouldn't want it attacking the WAPs and ad-hocs.. or would you? >:)
What if the display data is better fit into a columnar sheet that extends to the left and right instead of up and down? What about (i)frames of this nature? While I agree that webpages should be built to scale properly, sometimes scrolling left and right is the most viable method for certain data.
Why can't I buy people's votes? If I have a vote that I don't want, and someone wants a vote, they should be allowed to buy mine.
Because that would make the system worse than it already is. The percentage of people that do not vote is astounding, and you can be sure those votes would be sold. It's bad enough that people vote just because they think a certain candidate is a good speaker or they are a member of their political party. If votes could be bought then the political giants with the most cash would win every time. This is exactly how government positions should never be filled.
If you think about it, an election is like a high speed race. The only difference is that the voters are behind the wheel. With that in mind, I'm surprised the system allows uninformed voters to actually cast a vote without knowing about the issues and the politicians.
Before you can drive, you take driver's ed. Every election before vote time, there voter's ed should be a requirement. The issues are constantly changing, as well as the politicians. If this was manditory like a driving test (written or hands on, doesn't matter), then the people would be far better informed. Imagine the difference that could make. Imagine the turnout.
The problem with this model is that when the users start paying, the users start demanding. They demand better content and more of it. When the content is free nobody cares if it is excellent or crap, and they have no room to complain. Anyone remember The ROMP? They kept calling their user base free-loading wusses. Users liked their content, so they obliged. After about a month they had to call the entire operation quits because they simply could not keep their new flash content out on their release schedule, and it all collapsed around them. All that's left is the hype of a movie called "When Booty Calls" that is pretty much vaporware.
If SCO is successful with this little manuever without any proof, can a class action suit for extortion be filed against them? IANAL, but this is completely rediculous and has to be illegal.
IANAL, but couldn't such FUD be considered libel and/or slander? It hardly seems right/fair for SCO to deflamate Red Hat (the personification of Linux in this case) in such a manner and not be liable for it.
I was thinking more along the lines of integrated component video. There are VGA to component converters around, but they cost between $130-175 USD. It just really surprises me that it hasn't been done yet.
I can't be the only one who has noticed that broadband companies push the fact that "MP3's can be downloaded up to 50 times faster than dialup." I was told this by SBC and Time Warner. Hell, even SBC representatives claimed that they were the provider to pick over Time Warner for such activities... Anyone else care to concur?
NATs protect you ultimately in the long run. Sure, they can be a pain sometimes, but that just means it's doing the job correctly--limiting the points of contact to your network.
Most software allows configuration of the incoming port for this reason; so you can set up multiple computers to route through NAT. If you want traffic to come and go through your router/gateway as the Internet sees fit, you might as well just DMZ. *shudder*

pico isn't open, but nano is a pico clone with additional features such as syntax highlighting, auto indent, and a slew of others.

Perhaps to get a Ph.D one day? He's got more than enough hands-on experience. There could be more interesting ventures down this road.

Don't equate the stability of the ship with the experience of the captain. If any ship isn't maintained properly, eventually it will sink.

Forgot to mention... ... this gives a whole new meaning to the Do-It-Yourself-Game-Console, doesn't it?

Oh.. so you should reclaim your IP from this site then.

Point taken, It wasn't meant as a flame.. just an interesting idea and to point out to the less informed just in case they thought "Yeah, why not?"

PS2 Linux is based on the 2.2.1 kernel, so my guess is that it wouldn't apply to them.

It amazes me how every time a HTPC is mentioned, it always lacks compenent video output. This is the year of HD after all, let's make use of it.
