Its not so much a distro, as a 'meta-build system', for building and packaging your own distro.
To me, this is the best solution, and while these sorts of build-system efforts are still in their infancy, I can see a day when you just answer a few questions, press a button, and get a custom CD designed -exclusively- for the application you've defined.
That's pretty nice. As a Linux user since the minix post, I'm excited about more and more of these sorts of 'smart build environments' becoming the 'distro construction set' de jour...
Its not unprotected, it is in fact protected, and wtf? You're second-guessing rocket scientists and NASA's/Russia's elite teams of biological scientists?
There's tons of value to be had. Space is an extremely hostile place for a human being to live. The effect of radiation on bone marrow alone is something to fear.
If we don't do experiments like this, we won't have clues needed to propose, test, and develop treatments for injuries or possible accidents that may occur in future human space exploration...
Imagine this scenario: astronaut Charlie goes outside, an accident occurs and their suit is damaged. They survive, make it back inside, but are badly injured.
Given the results from this experiment, its feasible that forms of treatment and understanding of pathology may give Charlie a chance of living to fly another day...
Had a 128kb/s Ricochet Wireless modem, man that thing was sweet. Anywhere in LA, I could get on the 'net as fast as my home connection (128k partial T1)... at the time, that was pretty trick.
Had some great times in Griffith Park with that modem... so suck that they went under and couldn't manage their network, because it was huuuge to have wireless connectivity like that.

Cool. (not)
We could use this to build psionic exercise devices which restore our latent mind-over-matter powers.
Oh no. Psionic Wars, here we come.
{Honestly, I'm beginning to see what all the fuss is all about over The American Beast, in those Middle East sects...}
ANYONE CAN DO THIS. IT DOESN'T TAKE THE -CDC- TO DO IT.
So, doing it, and then telling the world about it, and using the Mass Media to let the world know that it is happening... in my opinion THIS IS A CRIMINAL WAR ACT and all involved MUST STAND TRIAL.
This is not a troll. I am serious. Humanity cannot afford to let a few, whose justifications are endless, endanger the whole, whose control over the situation is negligible, to say the least.
Americans, use your Democracy and put a stop to this. People, whereve you are, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
That's what I'm saying: its not getting the material to the end-user, that is easy now in this digital age, for anyone. Its cheap. Super cheap.
The problem is, getting the attention of the end-user. There's too much other stuff going on to compete for that persons attention.
Artists banding together to solve this problem, technologically, I imagine is the worst nightmare of the Big Media Board... but it is being solved. My fans, combined with your fans, combined with our other muso buddies fans == a massive fanbase to which we can all cross-promote together. Collectively, an Artists Group promoting to a Fan Group will result in both groups expanding in size...
The means to do this are now in our hands, as artists. What's needed, is more artists, banding together collectively, and then doing it. There are no longer any technologically significant barriers to this problem.
Content-delivery ain't what it used to be. Joe Bob Basement Studio can put his mp3's in the same pipeline that Mega-Record Pimp Corp can.
The difference is, whether people will pay attention to you or not - not whether they -can- through whatever means are available, but whether they will.
At ampfea.org we've been gathering together, as a crew of Artists, to present a united front and stable base of operations for use by our individual members to use for promoting their artistic efforts.
This is the future. There's no -need- any more for media giants banded together to share/consume resources for promotion, there is now the need for Content Producers to cut through the dreck and get good material online, and deliverable. It costs nothing to promote an.mp3 track these days, far and wide, to all and sundry, and it can be done very, very, effectively.
Wow, that is in fact an interesting set of links... I'm gonna blow karma just to say thanks!
I've always wondered whether or not we can industrialize the process of calcification that most gastropods go through... you know, sea shells and whatnot (forgive me if gastropod is not the right term).
Wouldn't it be cool if we could coax these critters to build -massive- shells, or at least work out the processes they go through to turn the minerals and such from sea-water into hard, light, resilient shell materials?
Imagine if we could make massive sea-sponges that were capable of producing glass fibres on a massive scale, suitable for industrialized processes...
All that sea-water. All that glass. Put it together, and you can make one hell of a city. Provide 3rd-World deserts with raw materials for building greenhouses. etc.
Good to know... and well, as a developer, I'm not so worried about having the latest and greatest, just a platform that will serve as a good test-bed for my apps.
You think the SL-5500 is good enough for that? Frankly, I think Linux on PDA's is the wave of the future... rumour has it that Sony is ditching PalmOS for its Clie's and moving to a custom Linux distro, anyway...
... time to E-Bay off the ol' Clie NX70V and work my way towards the Zaurus. These apps look great, and I'm sick of the Sony Proprietary Goose-Step madness... the idea of being able to port my Linux apps -easily- to my pocketPDA is also great.
So long PalmOS, hello Pocket Linux! Yay!
(Anyone wanna trade for a C860? How about if I throw in some music gear?)
I'd imagine using this thing to do some digital recording of live events with... its got the power to do multi-track recording, and for that sort of application its good to have lots of RAM.
Also, it seems to me that this is the sort of device you'd never turn off or shut down. With that in mind, its good to have lots of RAM so you can have all your apps running at the same time, concurrently.
Will it encourage more people to go to concerts? No.
Umm... why not? If I was going to get a good-quality, professionally packaged tarball of a gig, I'd definitely go to the gig, and I'd be happy to throw in an extra $10 to my price of admission.
I don't see your counter-argument... you're just saying it 'wont happen' without any plausible argument...
The stupidity of this situation is that all the money that's being pumped into it could be used for *other peaceful purposes* that would do far more good to repair the American Image in the eyes of the world than any computer simulation would.
You think, if I'm on a Holy Jihad to bring down the Beast, I give a shit about whether its making computer simulations of me and my land? No.
But, if I hear that "The Beast" has put million$ into a water processing facility to encourage growth and local development, I might be less prone to flying things into American property for the damage of it.
The American Military Machine will constantly justify its own existence, but in actual fact whats needed is for it to justify its own demise, and the only way to do that is through Active Peace-making. This won't happen.
This simulation program isn't a means to prevent war, its a means to fight a better war. What the money and resources should be being spent on is water programs.
If you are a solid embedded engineer who REALLY knows how things work and not just a code slinger you can make vxWorks do some very nice things for you.
Same is true for the Linux world. The same statement, exactly, can be made for Open Source development.
For p2p distribution of files over a period of one or two hours - duration of the gig - I'd say that any theoretical iPod2 would have plenty of CPU cycles for the job...

Regarding the 6-week deliberation period of the Patriot Act:
