Ditto... My dad bought one for use at his office, didn't end up needing it. It's now sitting right next to my monitor. Overkill for the amount of printing I need, but the quality rocks, and it's super fast. Oh, and did I mention it replaced an HP 820Cse. The 820Cse is one of the so-called 'WinPrinters'. Dumb as a brick. Never got it to work well under *nix. Now? cat somefile.ps >/dev/lp0
As you say, NO vendor provides such drivers. You know what? As long as zealots such as yourself keep making these sort of declerations, hardware companys will continue to avoid Linux/BSD/etc.
From my expirience, someone who plain and simple knows how to code can learn an IDE in days. The other way around can be quite tough for those used to the "hand holding"
Erm, pretty much all driver code should be in the kernel anyways...

The reason (almost) all games have to have a harddrive footprint has nothing to do with saving games, and everything to do with the latency and transfer rates of CD-ROM drives.
Is there a good gneral math package that provides "virtual calculator" type functionality? Something that provides features akin to A Ti-8x (Minus the graphing, of course) would be ideal.
Not surprising. A decent pipe isn't that hard to find. In addition, it's a HELL of a lot easier for the server to serve a straight binary file than some PHP-coded, theme/skin-ridden bloatware.
Do you really think a 20k image every hour or so is such a big deal? That's be the net effect of, oh say loading the slashdot frontpage 3 or 4 times a MONTH.
You've obviously never used Opera. Besides, you don't HAVE to buy it. If you can put up with a small, non-flashing banner ad, it's totally free as in beer.

Yea, slashdot mods on crack! A post that is a unique comment not made by anyone else marked redundant...
Stupidest .... name .... ever
Because my ISP will only relay messages from something@myisp.com?
Pretty much anything with a sony trinitron tube is gonna kick ass.
Does the phrase 'accessory to the crime' mean anything to you? The university is the one providing the network after all...

Perl? Consistant? Come ON! Even the Zealots just kinda run in the corner and try to hide when THAT one comes up.
Get out of your fantasy world.

Think of the message you are sending to vendors.
Zealot: Hey Support Linux!
Vendor: Urm, okay
Zealot: Great!
Vendor: Here you go!
Zealot: Hey, IT'S NOT UNDER THE GPL! BOYCOTT!
The sort of app that flatfiles would even be an OPTION for are exactly the sort of things MySQL does well.

Note the complete lack of any "Obfuscated Python" contest. Draw your own conclusions.
Wow, great example of how slashdot moderation works.
28 per subcriber per day caught.
Only leaves 103 apeice...
BUt what about those of us that buy $12 CDs with 20 good tracks? (IE, Hendrix, SRV, Led Zep, etc)
Ack, slashdot mangled my comment. That was supposed to read OS -LESS THAN- 10 ie MacOS Classic
Oh yea, cuz ls, grep, and vi would be SOOOO useful on an OS 10 machine.

Do you have any clue how BIG 6% of the US is? That would be like, all of Texas.

Erm, play it first? This isn't SSX.... (Not that SSX isn't awesome...)

Erm, last time I checked, 'Free as in Beer' means that it doesn't require monetary payment.
