    how does GPL have to do with linux? I would assume that the Berkley distros of Unix would have more. GNUGPL existed before linux.

    are you acutally upset at slashdot becuase you didn't find out about algea IPOing yesterday? Thats insane. At any point in the day slashdot can have 300-700 submissions pending. It takes time to sort through that.

    I am an oxygen producing Brazilian scrotum slime. As a member of the OOC (pronounced 'ook') I too have witnessed how algea is reaping the benefits of popularity. They create an image of the perfect Oxygen Producing organism, but they are not. They are the next Microsoft of the Oxygen world. Their mitochondria aren't even open source!

    I cannot think of the word right now, but its hebrew for having to do with trying to be like a christian. I don't associate myself with Christmas. If you know people who aren't celebrating passover, they aren't jewish by any stretch. That's like munching on picked porks feet on yom kippur.

  11. good... on FCC May Force Telcos to Cut Rates for DSL Providers · · Score: 2

    I was looking at DSL eariler this month and found that it rarely goes down in the area where I live. There is a $200 installation fee ad $99 activation fee and $50 a month + your phone bill. They are having a christmas (I find this upsetting because I'm jewish, not becuase they are aiming for the christian holidays but because I wanted DSL for chanukah) special which waives the install fee. $50 a month is too expensive when compared to cable which is much faster. Also I just got a new digital cable box which TimeWarner is boasting 27mb/s when the infastructure is in place.

  16. points from the article on Corel Launches Corel Linux, with WebCast · · Score: 1

    Linux is widely accepted as a stable, reliable, and inexpensive server operating system.

    Linux is Free, not inexpensive.

    Anyway, when the system finally finished copying files, it asked me nicely to remove my boot floppy disk and CD-ROM and to click OK to reboot. I clicked OK just to see if it would force me to remove the floppy disk and it didn't. Both Red Hat and Windows force you to remove the floppy disk with their installers, and I think it's a good idea. It's not a big deal, but, again, for new users it would be a good idea to force them to remove the floppy disk before rebooting.

    Why wouldn't you remove your boot floppy? Is this guy testing trivial installation occurences? Thats just dumb

    At no point in the install procedure does it ask you about networking setup. I discovered later that no matter what options you select during install, it always configures DHCP. If you have a static IP address, you must change it manually later--something a beginning user may not be able to do.

    Thats horrible. Redhat 6.1 lets you set up a multiple-network-adapter system very easily, and even lets you provide drivers before the installation starts.

    Also, if you have more than one network card, it doesn't allow you to configure which card uses what or which drivers to load. I would consider these to be serious problems, and I hope they are fixed before the release version.

    If they make a good product (you seem to like yours) why don't you want them to have a big share? That means cheaper prices for new palm devices. The incentive is to work w/ palm becuase they apparently have they duckies in order. MS got hammered partly because they wouldn't let anyone work with them. They wanted to buy everyone out.

    I remember the design station modeled on PSX2 hardware costing like 8 times more than a standard PC. No... they don't want to be the next microsoft. Not everyone who expands to different markets wants to control everything.

    Sony is only second to apple as being the king of industrial design. The only thing that had kept me away from PalmPDA's are the design. Granted the PalmV looked nice, but it was very expensive for my taste. Now we might have some nice looking devices at a price that won't empty my wallet. On a side note... I'm acutally kind of glad that its not apple and palm teaming up. Nobody wants the iPalm.

    No, not at todays processing speeds. You could though push electrons through copper at roughly the speed of light. Think of it like this. You have marbles(electrons), and a pipe(copper or any other conductive medium). You can push the marbles through the copper to near the speed of light, but due to laws of relativity the electrons will never be able to be transmitted the speed of light.
