Just look at those powerbooks on Apple.com. *WOW*... all of this, X11 and Safari, and all... makes me just want to blow my load... *places hands over pants and looks around quickly*
... I used to play it on the C64 way back... anyone know if it was ever ported to PC? I can't remember the authors name. It was a text-based adventure... damn it was fun.
1 - Blocking pop-up ads becomes illegal. 2 - Browsers which block pop-up ads become illegal 3 - IE ends up being the only legal browser 4 - M$ wins...;)
Interesting question, I'd also like to know the answer. Perhaps there are no caverns where they will be drilling. Earth's crust is rock, and caverns are just open spaces in and between the rock. Maybe they'll be drilling in a material which isn't very likely to have caverns?
Hey Dave, I've been pretty well:) How about you? I don't make it over to your site often... but it looks good as usual. Nice to see you've been adding features and catering well to your users:) I like that "recommendations" idea - similar to Karma on slashdot. I toyed around with the idea but nobody seemed to like the idea of having their entries "rated" by others. Ah well.
Lots of services

There are a LOT of diary/journal/blog services on the web. My personal favorite: Digital Expressions. Not a lot of customization and such, and it has a smaller userbase and a very strong sense of community.
Hrm, neat. so what though? What does this really mean? Will it make Linux/BSD closer to being "ready for the desktop?" How is this going to affect your average user?
Got a power supply and some salty water? Electrolysis is a great experiment. Fill a 2 liter soda bottle with Hydrogen, and have one of the students light a match under it. BOOM... great experiment with great results:)
I'd like to see someone build a 3D model program (maybe in OpenGL) showing the relationships of certain sites. Type in a few sites, let it search google and render, and boom.. that'd be awesome.
Sounds more "Microsofty" - maybe - but let us consider how many people will actually be able to use FreeDOS and how many will be able to use Linux. I haven't touched a DOS prompt in a long time, although I'd have no problem getting around. Your average geek will know both DOS and Linux, but I'm guessing the number of people out there that know just DOS, and want just DOS on a new Dell, is pretty slim.
As a Tibook owner I'm darn glad Apple is getting more serious about releasing security patches. Now that they've entered the server market (with the Xserve), they really have no choice.
With an ability to run Mac and Windows software under Virtual PC, I'd have to argue that Mac's are capable of running more software (even if using an emulated OS) than any other platform. Hell, on my Mac I rountinely run Win2K on one monitor, and OS X on the other... simultaneously.
"The problem with Linux is that it's an open source system, so if you are having issues or difficulties with its stability, it's like pushing on a rope; there's no single vendor to deal with. You have to be self-deterministic in terms of how things work. You have to make your own choices and do your own tests on motherboards, graphics cards, applications, operating system releases, all those kinds of things."
Call up any vendor. Tell them their systems are unstable out of the box. Think they're gonna say something like, "oh, yeah, just tweak this little setting...". I don't think the quote above is very logical; no vendor is going to be that helpful with stability issues. Maybe "stability issues" was just a poor choice of words?

What's wrong with Slashdot?
;)
Taco just got married.

we know ;) you're an anonymous coward! so HAH!

Sorry man, Sybian's do a lot more than just vibrate. :) Someone doesn't know their sex toys.... time to get some better pr0n obviously!

Perhaps among the most interesting, will be the moves Apple makes. Specifically, if they chose to go with IBM's Power4 or stick with Motorola.
if so, I hope they don't bundle any IRC clients!
The corporate world is moving more and more toward free software. People are benefiting from free software. Suck it, motherfucker.
I'd like to see someone build a 3D model program (maybe in OpenGL) showing the relationships of certain sites. Type in a few sites, let it search google and render, and boom.. that'd be awesome.
And then the price goes up by $100. FreeDOS is, well, Free, and doesn't cost the consumer a dime.

If they're going to offer the software, without it being installed, why FreeDOS and not Linux? Is anyone actually going to use FreeDOS?
OH YEAH! ;)
I've never been to a PC or Mac expo, but I was under the impression that the Mac Expo's cost big bucks. Doesn't help us students out too much!
I'm a lot more worried about the asteroids that are discovered just AFTER missing earth. :-/

Ahem? Won't run 99% of programs out there?
