They have these cameras in Staten Island, NY. One night I was taking the backroads to avoid the traffic on the highway and I came to a stop at a red light. A good 15-30 seconds after the light was red, two cars ran the light in the left lane. As they passed through the intersection two flashes went off (i assume to aid the camera). Hopefully they have received their tickets, if there were cars coming the other way an accident would have surely happened.
Amen to that:) I have no problem with my ATI Rage 128, Voodoo 2 (well except for games....). I just recently upgraded from a noname soundcard to an Aureal Vortex2 and from a realtek 8029 to Linksys LNE100TX =)
Are you talking out of your ass or have you actually written a program for Windows 98 after you installed Office XP and noticed the API break. Could it be that Office XP installs its own dlls that may break under Wine? Think before you post or give some proof
Are you all fucking clueless? This means AOL will release an AOL/CS client for Linux and a better AIM client. Then we can safely say 'fuck you' to linux and run it under FreeBSD without a problem
Computer engineering is designing and implementing hardware. If you want to work on the circuitry levels of things, CE is the way to go.
One note, however, your education depends on the school you go to. I wish I could have gone to a school with a better CS program. If I ever lose my current job, I will transfer in a heartbeat.
You have to ask yourself, how does an open source company make money? If you are giving away your code free of charge, where do the profits come from? Selling cds? Okay, that will generate a little income from the 2% of your userbase that do not have a cd burner. Ads? Now you can keep your website running. Donations? Is that really enough to support yourself as well as a family (in some cases)? I think this was actually a good move for VA. They can generate money while still giving to the open source community.
I expect to be modded down or to a troll/flamebait. I don't care, do what you must
The only reason I have RedHat GNU/Linux rather than FreeBSD on my parent's PC is because I live in a small town and the only way to get FreeBSD is to drive two hours away and buy a $110CAN Book and I'm 13 and have no credit card to buy it online.
Uh, when I was thirteen I had my computer on overnight downloading all the packages for FreeBSD from ftp3.freebsd.org. Don't give me the "I can't get FreeBSD because i live out in nomans land". the Bin distribution is only ~90megs, thats enough for one, maybe two nights of downloading. Install FreeBSD, download manpages the next night, download X another night, etc. And another thing, telling everyone you're 13, run linux, and that you can't get anything else but redhat only proves the stereotye of linux users among the bsd and other communities (sorry but its true!)
Not trying to flame/troll/be offtopic. But um OpenBSD is clearly OpenBSD. Nowhere on OpenBSD's website or in its documentation does it say OpenBSD is Linux. OpenBSD is clearly BSD, not SysV, so of course you're going to run into differences. Thats like saying oh yea FreeBSD is not BeOS since there isn't a/system/ . wtf cares? Next, you're warning people considering the change about the differences between openbsd and linux. When you change operating systems, you generally are open to a CHANGE of operation. Its really not hard to install OpenBSD and play with it and learn it. IMHO, BSD is more straight forward than SysV (rc scripts are plain and to the point rather than mucking around/etc/rc0.d).
While OpenBSD is tough on the newbie, its way more secure than Linux is out of the box. If you want a nice BSD that actually has community support with plenty of tutorials and faqs on the website, check out FreeBSD. The ports collection is thriving and has Linux binary compatibility so you can still play TuxRacer.

In short, here is the usual life of a sysadmin: Introduced to Windows since it runs the world. Hear about Linux, install it and load E and Gnome and shows off to all your friends. At this time, forcing your views that Linux is the best OS on the face of the earth is mandatory. Hear about FreeBSD. Rant loudly that FreeBSD is meaningless and Linux will take over. While ranting, quietly install FreeBSD and tinker around with it. Erase the linux partition. Lay low for a few months learning FreeBSD. Announce to friends FreeBSD is better than Linux, but keep a low profile to hide your old Linux loving image. Install OpenBSD on your firewall to keep that 15 year old Linux hacker out.

Don't need to spend $350 for Halo + XBox.
No but I'll spend $350 for Jet Set Radio Future + XBox =)
Unless it comes out for PS2 then screw the XBox

"He doesn't like the license switch," de Icaza said. "It allows proprietary companies to benefit from the software."
Oh lets hurt the companies, I'm sure we could live without them.

1986 or 1996? I didn't think HDTV was conceived that early.
HDTV was introduced in the early 1980s with the FCC bringing it to attention in 1986. Related Article.

Of course your are in a shitty neighborhood, and will probably be shot within weeks of moving in.
I think all we really want is Aqua. If we can't have aqua who really cares about Darwin? We can just create OpenAqua and use FreeBSD.
