I agree, though I think that if the quality of articles linked to improved, the amount of people that RTFA would not increase proportionally, therefore the level of discussion would remain mired in the state its in now.
That, or perhaps we'd have a beowulf cluster of new power macs with cell processors that cost too much running shell scripts to get the first post.
If cities, states, or the federal government start rolling out wireless networks, will we also consider this the "public airwaves" since its publicly funded and using a piece of the regulated spectrum? If so, would we start to see the FCC or some other government body start enforcing "decency" standards on what is being broadcast in this spectrum? Would the government start trying to regulate what you're allowed to browse if its over a public wireless connection?
What if the seeds fall off the plant, into the soil, and grow a new plant. Does that plant get confiscated? Am I guilty of inducing the seed to fall off and grow?
Outputting to an ICC color profile is possible with gimp, then, but the main complaint I've heard from pro's is that there isn't a good color management program to color calibrate your monitor with. This is, though I haven't tried it, apparently really easy on a Mac.
i don't understand what's to be upset about. he has normal geek stuff that most/.'ers own. I probably make way less than him, but I have a laptop, bag, digital camera, wireless router, and cell phone. and while i've yet to buy the ipod, i have had multitools and pda's in the past. i clicked the link expected crazy stuff. there's no gps. no plasma tv's. no rackmount servers. its cool to see what's in his bag and cmdr taco's but... its not like i should 'read and weep.'
I have to make sure my bluetooth mouse (Logitech mx900, worth every penny, I couldn't think of a better mouse) doesn't see my screen on my laptop (with built in bluetooth, which makes it actually... useful - no stupid Dongle) otherwise... it might learn that its dead, and have some kind of mouse identity freak-out. Till then, its the most useful, comfortable, and extravagantly overpriced accessory I own.
I hate the perception that "chemicals" = evil. When did this start? It seems to have been propagated by the media. You constantly see products branded as all-natural or not containing chemicals. This is just ridiculous. Chemists everywhere are getting a bad wrap.
Its cool cause sometimes I feel like wearing blue and sometimes black. They work best on an every other day cycle. People think I can afford two jackets.
I run into a lot of problems running Linux as my workplace desktop, but for slightly different reasons. The SMB stuff is no prob, and I can access the local network and printers without a problem. Most of my problems occur because of people. I work in an engineering firm (but no programmers, IT specialists, or other techies here) so I get a lot of the usual:
Co-worker walks by, looks at monitor, Co-worker: "Is that Excel?" Me: "No, its OpenOffice spreadsheet" (or Gnumeric) Co-worker: "Well, why isn't it Excel?" Me: "Ummm, err, they don't make Excel for Linux." Co-worker: "Well they should."
There aren't any serious problems caused by this, just a general uncomfortable feeling every once in a while.
As far as I know... no. This is the official statment from http://opensource.creative.com
The Dell CT0200 -- The new Live 5.1 card from Dell (CT0200) is not based on the EMU10K1 chip, so the EMU10K1 driver available at SourceForge won't work with it. Fortunately, 4Front Technologies (www.opensound.com) has developed a driver.
As I understand it, there has been no further progress.

if next we'll find that Windows XP is susceptible to the avian flu pandemic?

Gnoppix is now based on Ubuntu. How is the Ubuntu live cd different from Gnoppix?

1. Setup insecure windows box.
2. Intentionally get infected with spyware.
3. Profit!

I guess its good that Tom DeLay doesn't have a lot of campaign contributions from Gator, otherwise a bill this would be DOA.

You mean like electronic, touch screen voting machines with no paper trail?
They're waiting till they have a better name than "Son of INDUCE"
SCO buys Sun with the little money they have left. New round of lawsuits based on Solaris code being pilfered. New round of Java lawsuits to follow.

Imagine a beowulf cluster of compromised gnome servers.

Perhaps we finally get to see what Novell is planning to do with Linux?

you have to get a live band to live in your apartment. they can crash on the couch in exchange for lossless music. i have sonic youth in my apartment.
I just want 42" of it.
10k1x is what I said. 10k1x is not 10k1. 10k1x is based on a slightly different chipset that uses some software decode for the dsp.
