You can always get good info on hardware under linux on Phoronix. They've got lots of experience with linux builds and games and wine to give good information.
I wound down the suport aspect of my business a while back but the only way to get rid of the support people was to start raising the rates so they would find someone else.
I don't know what you charge now, but start upping it fast. Increments of 25% is a good way to wean people off stupid calls. You can always charge less, later. Demanding a 3 hour minimum is a good way to go as well (even 4 hour minimums).
How has the fact that the code is open and available made it better as opposed to closed sources. Both can be free, but how has the openness of the code benefitted you?
It really doesn't matter how far the spec is, as long as the basics are there, they can do a firmware update to bring the products in line once the final spec is released. This has happened all over the place.
So other than advertising a blog entry that, at best, is deeply flawed due to the complete misunderstnading of NAT, DHCP lease times and the fact that no reputable site uses IP addresses as a basis for their stats, what exactly was this article about?
The easiest way is that all the non-spyware sites had forums or other feedback systems where people could register warnings and such linked from the front page.
If they're not afraid of feedback, then chances are, they're not spyware.
Will you still be able to get AMD processors? AFter all, Dell has a relationship (marriage) to Intel and having a subsidiary buying from the competition could make Intel unhappy....
The problem is the USE flags are global.. you can override them for an individual package but that doesn't get recorded anywhere
That's not true anymore. Gentoo maintains a set of package specific files to track individual flags and stable/ustable settings in/etc/portage. package.use keeps package specific flags while make.conf keeps global flags (and package flags if you like).
You need to re-examine the portage system, it's grown a lot in the past while.
The original Dungeon Keeper was my famvourite game for months until I could whip them heroes with no problems. Then, the rather boring expansions came out (boring maps with "traps" of 10th level heroes) and then the terrible DKII.
I miss that game, it was great fun to play and, while it wasn't the most original design, and had the best sound effects and voice work.
There's never going to be a Duke Nuk'em Forever. It's a joke. They'll keep that up forever until people get tired of it and realize that they've been had.
The studio has other products that they focus on and they're going to be the ones forever. DKF is dead, really it is, but every time someone says it's dead, someone goes to the site and checks the forums where George Broussard has posted "It's not dead" for the nth time.
Give it up people, laugh at George Broussard's joke and move on with life....

While I commend the Gates Foundation for it's great work, surely there has to be someone that, in the past 12 months, has afected the news more than he has.
Isn't that what the Person of the Year was designed to be? Has it fallen so far that anyone with enough money can buy the post?
Its not the down.44% that's the issue, it's the lack of up X%. For the first year growth was explosive and now it didn't grow at all since last quarter. It makes industry watcher worry when growth stops.
6. Lack of easy spam filtering. Evolution uses server (if any) spam filters. Trying to hook up Evolution to spamassasin was a pain as you only got the yes/no filter option without the SA headers being used. If I wanted to autodelete spam with a high rating, I was out of luck. Add that to 2, which made training a pain, I got upset fast.
7. Evolution Palm integration sucks. Without the simplest things like category exchange, you end up with XXX entries in the address book with no easy way to keep different types separate.
I gave up on it until the dev team realize that they're needs aren't the needs of the general public and certainly aren't the needs of the business user.
I've been hearing a lot about Mr. Goto's code versus Atlas and ACML. Has anyone done a side by side benchmark to see who is best for all-round BLAS use?
Over the past few seasons, you've exploded a lot of myths (please exccuse the pun). However, there can't be that many myths that can be tested using your techniques. Are you looking into new ways of testing different types of myths or do you feel the show has a limited run, once you've finished the list of commonly held beliefs that can be tested through blowing up a crash test dummy or other physical tests?
Would there be room on your show for phycological behviour myths through the use of a psychologist as example?
Of course you could view them on the screen, but it's a 2" screen! If any doctor I ever go to uses a picture on a 2" screen to diagnose me, I'm gonna get out of there really fast.
Movies based on video games suck. Having Peter Jackson executive produce or even direct the film may make it suck less, but it will still suck. I mean, how much plot can you have with yet another bug hunt movie. I think that concept has safely been done to death.
If they don't go that route, will we get a movie with a single character out of it and no plot references (like Tomb Raider) that will only mostly suck.
I've got a better idea. There's probably a Shakespeare or, better yet, other play that hasn't been made into a movie 10,000 times, why not that?
Or, and I know this is stretching it, how about a new script based on an idea that hasn't been done to death? They could even take it from one of the thousands of SF authors that have written amazing stuff that would kill to get a movie made...
We need o increase global warming, thus boiling the oceans, releasing steam that blocks out the sun and then it will be nice and cool.
Or even better, launch all the nuclear weapons on earth and the resulting nuclear winter will solve theis global warming problem. The nice part is, we already have the bombs and need something to do with them anyway, so why not combat global warming?

You haven't answered the question.

That's what having firmware updates is for.

I can see it now, 10,000 jarheads trained as script-kiddies unleashed on the internet. The US MARINES pwns J00!
Ah yes, nothing will be safe, except someone who keeps up to date on Apache upgrades.

Yep, no matter how many times the mod you down, your comment keeps coming back unless they burn it or eat it.

Where have I heard this before... oh yeah...
Bluetooth, anyone?
And, as it should be, he affected the news (for good or evil) more than anyone else that year.
How does that prove anything? Time Warner decides who is Person of the Year. They are easily bought and sold.

Most of us have given up but for all intents and purposes, we keep hoping.
