Can anyone post a text transcript? Or even better, does anyone know of a site where some sort of real-time (or semi-real-time) mirroring of the broadcast is taking place? Even an ongoing text webcast.
Real format from zdtv seems to be bogged down beyond hope, and of course some of us don't have access to the Windows Media Player alternative.
I'm going to look around on irc in a moment- keete - keete -
I'd agree... I'm from an area where penguins are distinctly leaner and more ferocious looking, (so. island new zealand), and the Tux mascot has always struck me as a bit insipid. A little too chunky, a little too harmless... there are lots of penguins out there. I'd like to see the slow introduction of a few more penguinish ones.
Why make distinctions? (Full disclosure: I use LinuxPPC and could almost weep as I see commercial milestone after milestone pass for X86 - "Linux taken seriously by major firms!" "WordPerfect 8 for Linux!" "IBM this!" "Oracle that!" - while 'Linux the multi-platform OS' is left puttering along with the significantly smaller number of frills, toys and enterprise-friendly Useful Tools which are available in open source form or from progressive vendors).
The more companies port, to the more platforms, the better for everyone involved. Alpha too, my other computer is an alpha.
If one of the advantages of Linux is that it runs on many different machines- increasing the OS's utility/ flexibility/ deployment possibilities and ( * sigh of happiness * ) breathing new life into NON-STANDARD platforms and configurations- then we as a community can't focus exclusively on one racehorse; the other horses in the Linux stable are supposed to be useful too. Depending on your POV, we may have some Clydesdales and even a zebra or two on our hands: basically anatomically similar to the racehorse, some different features, some unexpected advantages (how would your racehorse fare on the Serengeti) and each should be pushed to the utmost outer limits of its ability. ( BLOCK that extended metaphor.) If someone wants to feed lumps of sugar to one of the other horses for a change, great, let's make it a wider trend.

...And hey- to address what sounds like a grudge in the post above- if the PPC is basically a toy computer, isn't it perfectly appropriate to port games to it?:)
Joking only. Please don't any PPC-serious people get on my case.

Another selling point for these drives is that you can refer conversationally to your "Deathstar"
