With RedHat's latest sprint version wise (7.3->8.0->9.0) it's probably a safe bet to say that this release is going to be RedHat 10.0. Or maybe "RedHat X"?
If it is version 10 it will almost surely be called RedHat X, as RedHat 10 would be read by all the ubergeeks as "RedHat 2". This of course also explains why Apple uses the Roman numeral, because if they didn't OS 10 would be read as OS 2, causing IBM, and by extension SCO, to sue them.
Brings up some interesting issues surrounding the Turing test.
Well, if the word displayed in an image serves a a turing test, and if a blind person is unable to pass said test, it can only mean...
Blind people are robots!
As we all know, robots are not protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and thus have no standing in court. I don't think these companies have anything to worry about. Oh yeah, IANAL. In fact, you'd be better off with the Chewbacca defense than this one.
I downloaded the Gnome iso, burned it and booted. Here are my results on a dual 800 G4 (Quicksilver):
First boot I selected the "live" option, but unfortunately it did something screwy with my video. Nothing was readable, though I could tell it was loading.
Second boot I did the live-safe option. This gave me a usable command line, to which I logged in, tried the xeasyconf option, and tried to startx, but got an error. Went through a few more times with different video options (it was giving some sort of video error) all to no avail.
Anyone have better luck than me? Ragardless, I plan on keeping this disc around to show off the awesome powers of the command line.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here...I am an avid player of Risk 2210, and would like to replace the commanders with metal miniatures. I have been unable to find anything suitable, but I'm not sure I am looking in the right place. Also, I would prefer not to do assembly/painting myself. Are there places where you can pay folks to paint these things? Any help before I get modded into oblivion would be appreciated.
The only way I found to do that is by burning with Toast. I did find an applescript that will take your current itunes playlist and send it over to Toast so all you need to do is click "Burn". That's the good news.
The bad news is it is a German applescript. The name of it is "Audio brennen mit Text." I believe I found it on Versiontracker. It is a read only script so I'm not sure exactly what it is doing behind the scenes (I have used it enough to know it doesn't appear to be doing anything malicious), but it always get the same error when i run it...that is to say, it does what it should (sets up toast with the itunes playlist in order) and then throws up an error alert that i just dismiss.
I haven't searched for it lately, maybe there is finally an English version out with all bugs squashed.
My first thought was that this list could cut down my telemarketing calls received by about 90%. But what is that you say? It may not apply to phone companies? Well, I suppose cutting my telemarketing calls received by 5% is still some sort of progress.
The key word here is "sells." They would have a tought time selling this to open sourcers, what with everything wanting to be free and all. Instead, they show the big closed source companies that their code isn't nearly as bug free as the open stuff, therefore they really need to buy this.
I'm not denying that open source is less buggy, but always question the motivation of the company making the claims. Just because Reasoning's assertions fit your own neat world views doesn't mean that they are without bias or secondary motivation.
I have the Apple X11 installed, as well as fink. Way back when I had installed xdarwin and orboros. Everything seems to be working, yet my applications do not have aquafied windows. Is this normal behavior or possibly a misconfiguration?
I can agree that this is crappy, but if you stand back a bit and look at things pragmatically, you'd understand that they're only catering to 99.9% of the desktop PC universe.
I'm not sure if you're intentionally exaggerating Windows' installed base or if you are just ignorant, but the number certainly isn't 99.9%. Furthermore, as a review directed at Slashdotters, it is a very valid point...the number of users of systems other than Windows is higher here, so knowing that this product will not work with their system is crucial. Get over yourself...pointing out an important piece of info is hardly a "rant."
It's been mentioned on here before and I just set one up the other day. What a great product...streams from your mp3 collection or internet radio. Works on Mac, Linux and Windows. On Mac at least the install required zero configuration. I highly recommend this product.
A friend of mine just got one of those for Christmas...way cool. I wish the display were a bit bigger, but other than that it is awesome. Set-up was a breeze...plugged the slimp3 into the network, launched the server on one of his machines...pressed play...that was it. No network config necessary. He's now considering wiring the rest of the house for these and picking up another half dozen or so. And the coolest part, at least on OS X, is it uses ITunes' playlists.
I fully agree...if a company won't give me the product for free and then support it for free, then I'm not going to not give them any more of my money.
Seriously, if open source is going to thrive (not merely survive) then corporations will have to take it up and that will require making money off of it somehow. If the only way this company sees to make money off this product is by selling the documentation, then they need to make sure they don't just sell one copy. If you have a problem with this, then to me that is an indictment of the feasibility of the open source model...not an indictment of the company that just wants to make a profit (or at least break even).

and apparently provide zero security to keep election officials from writing in whatever election totals they want.
This would have saved the Florida election officials so much time in the 2000 elections.

This could be a big blow to the file-swapping community, even if you're swapping legit.
Exactly. Both of those people may be forced to use ftp.

Do you have a new url for the Matrix Reloaded .torrent file?
for people who have physical disabilities (such as deafness) that would prevent them from learning the material by hearing it a single time
This would also work for people who don't speak the language in which the course is taught. They could just play it back louder.
I hate to dodge your question, but I'm not really qualified to say whether what the clone makers did would be legal under 2003 law.
I guess he's new here. Since when did not being qualified to answer a question stop a slashdotter?

Maybe I should stop reading slashdot. Just when I finally stopped worrying about fake monkey automotans now I have to stress over feral robot dogs.
Will the madness never end?

Great sig...I assume its a panopticon reference. If only more people would read about it...

If the rise of web-based discussion systems means all the AOL weenies get *off* Usenet, I suppose that's a good thing.
Me too!
Reasoning "sells automated software inspection services."
The key word here is "sells." They would have a tought time selling this to open sourcers, what with everything wanting to be free and all. Instead, they show the big closed source companies that their code isn't nearly as bug free as the open stuff, therefore they really need to buy this.

Ahh, I had posted the same question a few minutes ago and now I see this answer. This worked perfectly for me. Thanks for the tip.
I didn't get the scare box you spoke of, but I got my aquafied windows and am therefore happy.

Upon further review, and not to be overly pedantic here, but I think the proper term should be "Cracker in a Box."
I'm guessing the Army thought that term sounded too Ritzy.
Apparently the real world version needed interchangable nodules, and the absolute must-have for every Slashdotter's vehicle - a 'hacker in a box'."
I suppose this gives new meaning to the term "wardriving."

A wi-fi version would be nice though.
What's funny is that Slashdot is reporting this as a YRO article... I'm pretty sure industrial espionage isn't on anyone's list of rights...
You're new here, aren't you?

I will now prepare for my first flamebait mod.

The parent raises a very good point...
At what point does sensible security end and raving paranoia begin?
