Ya know, I've seen several people talk about how it gets in their way, but I just don't see it. We have a Raritan KVM here, which uses scroll-lock (pressed twice) to bring up the menu. I haven't had one problem with it conflicting with the machines...
Maybe because it monitors double-taps on the key, that might be the reason... but Scroll-lock means just that: Locking the screen from scrolling.
Nothing sucks worse than an init system that programs automatically add themselves too. Perhaps I *want* to start my ftpd by hand! Up to now, I've not seen software that'll add itself to the slackware init system.
On that thought, I *hate* install scripts that modify my inetd files. Keep your fingers outta there!
You can "not like it" all you want, but unless you know what your talking about, please don't comment. Gentoo in no way screws with the init system automatically. It doesn't even overwrite unless you specifically tell it to. It goes *out of it's way* by making.cfg000_filename and letting you update them at your leisure.
You can run ftpd by hand if you want, don't add it to your default runlevel. If it's there (you put it there if it is) then run "rc-update del ftpd default". Want to add it back? rc-update add ftpd default. Or edit the stuff by hand if you don't want to use a simple rc-update script to do it. But don't, I repeat, don't, say that Gentoo in any way automatically updates your (inetd?) files.
By the way, what ARE inetd files, anyway? init.d files, xinetd files, or even rc files I understand... but inetd files? inetd only used/uses one file....
It sounds like Xen will only be of use to Microsoft users who want to try out Linux... That's good, but there are already plenty of solutions for that (e.g., Knopix) and they are not really useful to me.
It also sounds to me like you didn't even remotely read any of the website or article.
I'm not trolling, but why is it that nearly every player I've seen (minus the ones that are "around the corner" so there is probably hope) is so utilitarian looking? man... the Karma looks sweet, but after looking at that, the one you pointed out as all the looks of a remote control...

Or, to put it in a more "real world" situation, your running late for work, and you have a pair of wet pants. (and a fairly large microwave) Now, you can wait for the dryer, or just pop them in the microwave. Mind you, don't do this with jeans that have the rivets on them:D
But, imagine if you accidentally left your wallet in your pants as you were washing it, that one time....
Make is so that my PC can get updated just by clicking on items and not chasing down library incompatiblites or typing "rpm --force" or "make install" or whatever.
Note: I agreed with the rest of what you said.
Updating is made simple as HELL with Redhat 9. It doesn't get much simpler... even if you point-and-drool, it does it for you essentially.
As far as not typing anything, well.. I can't help that you're lazy, jesus. That's just how it is right now, it's a philosophy that alot of distributions go with, and the users too. Then, you have Redhat, Mandrake, Xandros, Lindows, (insert other fifteen zillion "beginner" Linux distribution's name) to choose from that mostly all have graphical updaters.
The point was, every channel is being put across the line at once, multiplexed. How many you can watch at a time is a physical limitation of the human brains comprehension.
The internet is on shared bandwidth also... You don't see the backbone of the internet remaining the same, or even worse, digressing in bandwidth. It enhances over time.
Dialup was (is...) on shared bandwidth also, just after the analog modem in the ISP modem bank. DSL is also shared bandwidth, just intelligently done. (was ATM back when I was in the DSL tech support jobline) The point is that it isn't the actual cable lines being saturated, it's the internet connection that the provider has.
Maybe in the US it is different because you have not deregulated the telecom market yet. That throttles competition and makes telecom companies lazy in upgrading their infrastructure and organizations.
The US has had a deregulated telecom industry for quite some time. In fact, the deregulation allowed my old employer to actually start existing. (RCN)
In America, the industry works together in very subtle ways. If it's in their better interest, they will work together to stifle technological growth as much as possible without being caught.
Verisign is a Top Level Domain provider, not an ISP. That's the major difference, so you see. As almighty as MSN thinks they are, they don't provide.com,.net,.org to the world. Not to mention that now there are competitors in the TLD market, why should Verisign just "spread out it's net" so to speak, and figure it's the supreme leader? It'd be equiv to Microsoft figuring that if you bought a computer your obviously going to be putting Windows on it, so they just get lists of people who have bought a new computer and sending them Windows XP CDs with a bill for their much needed product.
Now, you see the concern? It's a bit nefarious, and there was money at play before today. Verisign did have advertisement on that page a day or so ago, just to let you know.
Once Verisign quits doing it, I revert to the damned MSN page every time there's a type-o.
Why isn't anyone bitching about MS?
Probably because alot of us haven't noticed it because we either A) don't use IE, or B) type well enough to not have that problem, or C) Don't even come close to Windows.
that'd pretty much explain that. Oh yes, and the obvious part: The MS IE page is clientside... it doesn't change the Internet, it just gives you the illusion.

I bet your the same type of person that believes that the 2nd ammendment only applies to government, also.
That would be X2 technology... not 2X.
That's better than on Lawnmower Man 2, where the guy hits the "POV" key.

Yes, sysadmins are way too expensive for what they do (mostly plugging stuff into other stuff and checking it is plugged in properly).
Uhhh... I don't know about you, but I do alot more than "plug stuff into other stuff and check if it's plugged in properly" as a sysadmin.

Just to report, this only saves me 2 seconds with the new version of OpenOffice 1.1.
But then again, just starting OpenOffice only takes me 2-3 seconds, now.

Ironically, the GAIM dev team uses an IRC channel.
What's so ironic about that?
IRC has been around for one hell of alot longer than IM, and there's a plugin on gaim for it.
Yeah, that's why they just updated to 1.0.somethingorother from .9somethingorother.

Git indeed. Stupid word.
I agree.. spy games was a very good movie.
I never saw inspector gadget though.. well, the cartoon I did.

That must mean that no one uses AOL!
So, anyone here developed a intranet hosted on a Linux server w/ Apache that authenticates to an NT domain?

You could set the local system to use pam_smb... that's one way.
I did a lookup on google for "nt auth apache" and ran across this: http://www.linuxmanagers.org/pipermail/linuxmanag
I really think using pam_smb is the best way, IMHO.

And now, just how can I hack my TiVo into using this?

Hey, those are cool right now, just look in Cyberdog, my latest clothes shop choice.
"right now"?
You do know that true coolness knows no timeframe.
