Mac OS X is not unix. I wish people would get it straight:
Mac OS X has no AT&T code! It is no more a unix then Linux! It is a BSD derivative, with some minimal OpenSTEP code.
A/UX was a Unix. MacOS X, with its mostly BSD codebase, is not!
Sorry, but I'd prefer to run a free OS. Linux has plenty of commercial support, and likely more than Apple! Linux's support just isnt coming from Microsoft.
A terrible day is upon us. It is a day of proletarian authoritarians. It is a day of suffering, and of pain. From this day forward, corporations and our oversized government can have nearly complete control of our lives. We are being inslaved...inslaved and silenced. From this day forward, those who care about the future will care about this legislation, those who do not will see Star Wars, handing their money over to our enslavers.
This is a day for us to mourn that such horrible legislation should even be considered. That such horrible legislation has been considered and signed into law over and over again, in our country, and others. Today is not a day for passivity. We must be vocal, but always polite and respectful. If we do not give respect and act calmly, we are not worth much, and it will only prove the Senators point: that we are mindless pirates. We are not. Calmly, explain this legislation to those around you. Contacting your representatives is important, but only so much. Having worked in a congrssional office - well, they dont pay much attention, to be quite honest. Tell your family and friends and the public about it. Explain it to them in calm and sensible and understanble terms. Call the president.
This is the day that disney might have control over our lives. They will not get it.
Things like this shouldnt happen - and this is yet another reason why the DMCA is bad. you should be able to defame anyone you want - but the scientologists are just pissed because they are the ones being defamed.
If this was a PRO-scientologist site, would they have threatened it, even if it had the same material? Absolutely not! They would have probably linked to it!
Scientology is the enemy of freedom - but with all the movie stars that are members of the "church" that make MPAA films, we already new that.
Things like this are bound to be more efficient than wind power(the site doesnt seem to say), and produce as much power as many small/medium nuclear plants. If things like this are developed, eventually there will be no need for a company like enron.
Interesting that this is developed in the same country where brownian motion was first discovered by scottish scientist Robert Brown....
The same country that first thought alot about chaotic particle motion develops a really interesting way to get energy out of chaotic-ly moving particles;)
no, they shouldnt. both the sssca and levies are incredibly authoritarian moves. also, the sssca would ultimately end up effecting devices in canada! you think manufacturers are going to build seperate version of devices for a country with 30 million people? no way!
here is an idea: if you dont like the XP license you cannot legally use the software you have to read and agree to the license to use the software. if you dont like XP, microsoft, or windows, dont use the software. anyone with MS software on their machine who is anti-MS, is a hypocrite!!
if you dislike MS, and you buy and agree to the windows license, you are a hypocritical fuckhead! I'm sick of these whiners! EITHER YOU USE MS OR YOU DONT.
They are NOT a monopoly! BELL WAS A FUCKING MONOPOLY! YOU HAD NO CHOICE!
This is not a monopoly. The best way to show microsoft you dont like their license is to NOT BUY PRODUCTS THAT COME WITH IT OR XP ITSELF!!
>>"How long has the reactor control system been down?"
Actually, most reactors are old enough that they are not computer controlled. This is a good thing - much more fool-proof. Anything(including linux/bsd/nt/qnx/whatever) that has the possibility of crashing should not be(and usually isnt) used in such an application. Basically: reactors are either (A) simple enough that they do not need to be computer controlled (B) complex enough that a computer shouldnt control them.
It is always better to have a person behind the mechanical controls, and the NRC[Nuclear Regulatory Commision] requires that there is.
...of our nuclear arsenal. The fact is, we have many nuclear weapons ready for deployment anyway. You think plans like this haven't always existed? The current administration has little to do with this...this is a mandatory review by the pentagon! If you are surprised by this, you have not been paying attention the last 60 years.
Heck...the fact that this information was (somehow) released makes me very happy
Clinton had contingency plans like this to, believe it or not. The fact that we know about this makes me, as I said, very happy. I want to know about such things, but I am not childishly naive enough to believe that they did not exist even when I was unaware of them.
can't disagree with that. this post is the most insightful thing I have ever read!! even more insightfull than orwell and salinger combined! this post rocks! who else in the slashdot "community" thinks we need more irritating, snobby, jerky, 13 year old trolls? slashdot would be far more interesting with a "troll only" policy.
it would work like this: get modded to troll, +50 karma get modded flamebait, slashdot gives kenneth lay $40 get modded insightful, you get to punch a troll
now, who doesnt think that is a rewarding moderation system?
...most projects are un-aware of the fact that open source is exempt. I suppose projects such as openbsd, based in other countries, still have the advantage though - defining when software is sold for a fee is difficult. is a fee only for media, or for a compilation, etc, still under this open source clause?
good thought...I mean how many case mod stories have been posted today alone? two or three? turbo linux and many other categories havent had a post in like a year!

sorta...
Finally, a good law...but there is hardly any info on the linked site...
yeah, but imacs suck, and this is british. eof
Finally some open Amiga PPC mother boards! Amiga returns....
Of course, there are already Amiga PPC expansion boards..
http://linux-apus.sourceforge.net/
and
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/amigappc/
Anyone thought of porting these to daystar PPC upgrade cards for 68k macs (Turbo601 ?)
no, they shouldnt. both the sssca and levies are incredibly authoritarian moves. also, the sssca would ultimately end up effecting devices in canada! you think manufacturers are going to build seperate version of devices for a country with 30 million people? no way!
I compile mine in 7.5 days!
wow! after reading the article, this one was a DIFFERENT asteroid. that makes two in a month!
Pulitzer prize winner Dave Barry[Miami Herald] commented on this a few weeks ago:
Asteroid Nearly Destroys Earth
How come they assume all their readership is male?
Read on dudes...
??
the stability of NT? I havent had a crash in months. seems like evidence enough to me...
The fact that NT can run [very early] OS/2 programs?
The fact that NT has finicky dos emulation that is practically identical to OS/2.
I suppose searching the ntos kernel code for "IBM" or something would be even better proof...
mod the parent up more..
did you VISIT the links on the parent? if you dont know os/2 history, dont comment on the story. you just made a fool of yourself.
good point. these non-stories really suck...

This is something most people dont know or understand: OS/2 isnt dead, it just lives on in a different form.
Windows NT 3.1, 3.51, 4.0
Windows 2000
Windows XP
are ALL based off of some OS/2 kernel code!!
I run nt 4, and therefore, I also run a portion of early OS/2 releases!!
Microsoft didnt kill OS/2, they helped it to SURVIVE
KISS is right on.
Another security personnel motto:
No security at all is better than a false sense of security.
Realize what all components of your system do!
