I came here to say this. These things are AMAZING! The really nice part is the headrest actually keeps moves to help keep your head in the proper position while it's reclining.
Last I checked, the FCC only mandated the switch to digital over the air and had nothing to say what format was broadcast over private networks. That decision is just based on greed. (more free bandwidth and more converter box rental fees.)
It is 100% free, he sets the price, Speakeasy bills the neighbors. Speakeasy gets more subscribers for the same bandwidth, the primary subscriber gets money off his bill. That's all there is to this. The person essentially becomes a PoP for the ISP at this point.
Read the article and the linked message from NMap. They're not saying "You can't use this because we don't like you", they're saying "You have violated the terms of the license and therefore, it has been revoked". There's nothing wrong with this.
Well, since you're already using Debian, check out the package listings on the debian site : HERE. Of course, you could also use the dselect utility provided, but I do have to admit, it's klunky when searching for things.
For those of you not using Debian, this would be a good point of reference as well. Once you find the package you want, you can always do a google for it and find a package/source/tgz for your distro of choice.
Yes I realize this is not an all inclusive list, but it's better than nothing. BR Joe
If you had read the article... And I quote: " Yes, I know about the possibilities, like the USB Serial module, and the USB Network modules. I have even used them. But they are third-party modules, in no way supported by G.Mate or the Linux Kernel folks. Also, they don't work completely; they make my desktop's kernel crash (panic) unrelated."
The point he was making is that he believed the developers of the topy should have developed a solution for this, not relying on 3rd parties to do their 'dirty work', even though we know they will. You pay that much money for something, you expect it to do, not be able to do with some work...
I can't see the yopy homepage, so I don't know how it currently stands, but a quick look at google to try to sneak a peek at the cached copy led me to find yopy.org which points you to a debian developer's page entitled yopy sucks!. I certainly hope they have looked into this issue as it could be a downfall in a niche market...
I was reading through my Amature radio book and found the resonance frequencies for random human body parts.. The thought then struck me. Why don't we use the resonance frequency of the testicle as a weapon.. Put the enemy soldiers (male) out of service and we can pick them up along the way through.
Then there's this whole geneva(sp) convention thing that probably stands in the way of that.
Heh, nevermind, I'm just tired after working all night...
I think you are confusin pinecar derby with a 'soap box' derby. A pinecar derby is where you take a small block of wood, normaly pine, nail some wheels to it and race them down a straight slope track. Hereare a few sites to get you started. Here is a google with more information.
Undo is nice and all, but I doubt it has enough space to undo several paragraphs of typing done, many little edits, which you later find unnecessary because you decided to change the direction of your work.
Think about opening a file, making some changes and then just deciding you don't like what you just worte and you don't want to work on it right now because you have a case of writers block. You're frustrated enough as it is, do you really want to sit there and CTRL+Z for 1 mins while you get your document back to the way it was when you opened it?
Ok, everyhting looks pretty good in theory, and I'm sure it does well in application. I assume that with this, as well as most other hybrids, it is probably lacking somewhat in power. I checked the transmission specs, and it appears to be a 2 speed (unless I'm reading that wrong) and also appears to be an automatic. Maybe it's just personal preference and bias, but when I'm driving something that needs to get out of it's own way, I much prefer a stick to control the acceleration a little better (and eliminate the need for the automatic transmission to hesitate while it decides I want power).
Besides that, just for "asthetics", it should be a standard trans. I mean, I haven't driven a bike yet that's been an auto, and I'm sure that if they were that good, they'd be a little more prevalant in the market.
Ok, enough of my ranting. I would definately look into buying one though, if it was a stick.
You know, I'm personaly tired of people making such a "thing" out of 9/11. But I ahve to say, I honestly appreciate what OSDN did with the banner ads. I checked slashdot a little after midnight and it almost made me cry when I say the banner ad. I'm glad someone saw it as a time when they should take a step back from everyday "grabbing for the cash" and honor those who died, those who sacraficed, and those who where close to them. Seeing as how I was a 911 dispatcher stuck in the middle of all this, and a volunteer firefighter in eastern PA, I can truly appreciate it. I feel for my brothers and sister who lost their lives. I feel for the innocents who died. This has truely led me to believe that there are some people, and busineses, around who care about the world. Let us all, please, observe a moment of silence, again for those who lost their lives durring this tragedy.
But, at the same time, let's not get caught up in the morbid retrospective. Let's remember all the good that's happend in the last year. Personaly, I met my lovely wife. On top of that, I'm proud to annoucnce we're expecting the arrival of our son.
It's been hard for many of us. Let this be a great example of how the american spirit lives though adversity. I live every day knowing that my 'brothers' (and sisters) died in the line of duty. I honor them every day by living my life to the fullest, as I know they would want. I suggest everyone do the same.
That is all I have to say at this time. Be well. Be strong. And bless.
I hate to ask this, but why is the vanilla coke considered an energy drink? It's coke with vanilla flavor. Now before we get into bashing things, let it be known that I have a case of vanilla coke sitting next to me here at work. When people talk about "energy drinks", I think bawls, red-bull, adreneline and things of that nature. The drinks sooo potent they'll keep you up for a few good weeks. Maybe I'm just missing something here. Personaly, If I have to stay awake, I'd avoid all of these and go right for the Coffee
Lets see here.... Answer phone, telelmarketer.. Hang up.. cost to me: $0.
People yelling on the street.. causing a public disturbance, police called to have offender quited/relocated/removed. Sure they have a right to say what they want, but not when it causes a public nusiance. Cost to me: $0
Fax incomming on fax machine.. Let dax print out, wasting paper and ink. Read fax to determine if it's junk or not. Discard junk fax. Cost to me: 1 sheet of paper, toner/ink, 2 min's of my phone line being tied up.
There's the choice. I have the choice to not let other people spout off at my expense. Sure, the cost appears trivial for a single page fax, but none the less, add that up and it becomes quite costly for an individual.
Unless you're talking about an electric car with a massive amount of batteries, you're mistaken. The battery provided in most automobiles powers the car only when being started, after such time the alternator (SP!?!) kicks out the necessary power to run all the electronics. The only time you would be using your battery while driving would be if you're drawing more power than your alternator(sp? again) can crank out.. And that is a bad situation there.
I believe you're trying to make the distinction between animate and sentient. This robot moves, and is animated (like a moving picture is animated), however, it is definately not sentient.
Ref pcmcia nic's :
The 3 com/megahertz xj-10 Works perfectly fine with my debian dist (2.3x). The pcmcia drivers ID it correctly and insmod the necessary drivers. My choice of the card was purely based on teh fact that it was given to me, but hey, luck was on my side and Debian loves the card. Good luck.
Hmm.. Some details would be nice. From the article, it says users can switch to Linux for playing mp3's etc.. Does this mean a dual-boot setup or a linux VM inside ME? Either way, it's refreshing to see Linux gaining ground in the market, even if it is on the back of M$ apps.

Wow... Just re-read that and yeah... I guess I shouldn't go reading/commenting on /. with a cranky baby on my lap. My bad.
GP was speaking from a business perspective, not consumer.
I'm almost not amazed that marketing is in your name given your lack of reading comprehension.

Then they should pay attention to what's being said on Groklaw. Lots of informed debate going on over there.

heh, try living in Canada. Apparently it's all they have there as celar beverages are not allowed to contain caffine due to some old "blue law".

Simply put, 4 9's of reliability would mean %99.99 uptime. (only down for .01% of the time).
