I couldn't agree more, our canadian station "Much Music" now plays 99% Black music. I'm not saying I hate black people in any manor, but I can't stand the sound of these guys talking about banging chicks and lifting cars.
However, since thats the mainstream music right now, once where we only had to put up with "Da Mix" now it's 24/7!
Ever see Sci-Fi's version of "Cold Equations". Pretty good remake of the short story in "Astounding Science Fiction) 1956 August edition. Same publication as Starship Troopers was in, btw.
I blame my thumbs from clicking (I can shoot at people with my fingers like a gun, and have the revolver clicking noise for sound effects.) on nintendo.
"If a product constructed with Automend cracks while in use -- such as in an electronic device that heats and cools frequently -- it would repair itself the next time it heats," said UCLA professor of organic chemistry Fred Wudl.
I've actually thought of that before. Too bad I was too dumb to implement it.
shitty deal.. I did not read that clause in the agreement, however, I only read the one that said "any software you create while working at radioshack in the premiss is owned by radio shack/tandy"
if this IP one is true I may wait a year before I start my "Big Plan(TM)"
"Instead of being so smug, perhaps you should help 'enlighten' we non-Debian and non-Slackware users as to WHY you're so strong in your support? Rather than just look down your nose at us, _tell us_ *WHY* you use Debian or Slackware."
Why I like Slackware: It's ease of use, simple installation and friendly package system. I compile almost every application from sources, and I use Slackware's base A B and N packages on my system, then I go a head and install anything else I need.
"Your attitude is precisely what keeps people away from Linux. Like that of a petulant 12 year old who won't share his toys. "Mine's better, and no, you can't play with it, and no, I won't tell you why it's better."
You may be surprised but I'm actually a very helpful person when the new user comes in with his Red Hat or Mandrake problems. I do my part in the community, I hang out on dal.net in #linux (nickname: notaku) and help people who don't know how to mount their vfat partition, see their IP address, enable IP MASQ, and encourage people to compile their own programs.
I help people use fdisk/mbr to cover up mistakes ("I want back to win2k!"), I deturr people away from Slackware or Debian and tell them to use Mandrake or Red hat because it's easy (Suse sometimes) based on how they like to do things ("Windows Crashes, I hate it. I want Linux."). If it's somebody over the internet, I do generally recommend mandrake or Red Hat because of the simpleness of installs so I point them to the http://www.linuxiso.org and tell them to get a copy. However, if I know that someone is wanting an adventure, is not afraid of weeds in their garden, and can put up with some hassles, I tell them Slackware is the way to go.
The abundance of users that come in and ask questions are Mandrake or red hat users, they wait until KDE 3.9.4 is released with the new version of Mandrake because they either:
can't download and install it their self
or is unfamiliar on how to compile a program.
My major gripes with Mandrake are these recent "give me money" talks. What do they need money for? To make their software more easy? Many projects out there do just this and never ask for donations. What are they doing wrong? Why can they not be like red hat who is currently not following Loki's route.
Slackware is however, a prime example of this. Slackware lost funding to it's project, and asked for donations, I would of donated but I felt the 39$ I spent back in 1997 covered my cost. I did my part in the community, I don't depend on Slackware to release a new version every time some Core program gets updated, and I hope others stop to put a burden on their Distributors as well.
I have nothing really interesting to add here, no fancy use the flame` mingion fish cutters or whatever.
Drew it up on cad, printed the lengths/widths, cut it out with a band saw (some of them on a table saw, however, it can shatter, its good to tape the ends). drilled holes in and I never actually used screws.. it fit together to tug, I ended up just keeping a strand of tape on it, until I got my new computer and trashed it

I claim The leader of the Proclaimation of the Red Dragon prior art. After all, he created your so called christian "god."
spiderman.
I actually made and published a program that did just that?
would they come after me?

totaly off topic, but I loved that show to death when It was on.
you can't use free operating systems in this debuate, we've already told you that the past 3 years.
you have the choice of what you want to put and modify with free operating systems, where as your stuck with what ms gave you.
quick comparision.
mozilla = fast
netscape = slow
mozilla = fast because they don't pretty it up with useless garbage when they turn it into
netscape = slow because of the useless garbage.
windowsXP lite = quick and painless
windowsxp = bloated and torture
I'm all for the baby jesus crying, but not to fond of that CBDTPA thing.
who has some links on how to build a personal cell phone jammer that will work in small areas?
:)

as for encrpytion
tunnel it through ssh.
is that a Maxtor USB 2.0 HDD in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
it also plays and rips mp3s.

I'm almost 100% sure they use etched glass of some sort to make the differnt keyboard patterns.
I may be wrong.
kind of off-topic, but I think he was saying it in a spanish accent.
I just assume mandrake/redhat users aren't susposed to compile programs.
That's been my understanding.

Slackware is Great.
XF_Rage128 server, about 1.5 years ago, SuSE 6.4 I do believe.
you said it.
although I said it too, and got modded as a troll, I guess you have more elegance as me.
true story.

great project, was fun..
It works out of the box in Windows XP Professional. Which is kind of cool.
