remember what he said when 2.2 came out? He was trying to cut down the bugs and hopefully nothing would come up that would make him "have to wear a paper bag over his head".
Well, there WERE big bugs and it was embarrassing to him and the other primary developers through several point releases. I think they deserve to take their time and earn the awe that this release will deserve (and, in many ways, already does). The details matter.
...than Debian on PPC. I tried for many hours (spread over several days) trying to get Debian to work "all the way" on my Graphite G4. No dice. I finally got it to at least recognize my mouse and keyboard and run some semblance of GNOME, but it still sucked compared to my x86 install of Linux Mandrake.
So post it! I'd like to see the attitude he had...I want to think he was a Good Hacker, not just showing off. What the Real Hacker community does not need is more infighting and "Whose Dick Is Bigger?" contests.
...that Real Sites even got hacked. I mean, sure, the FBI, the CIA, the white house...those are all "valid conquests" (high-profile, dangerous)...
It's nice to see someone, in a manner of speaking, looking out for those sites that I care about. I don't think there's a better way to do things than these guys did (assuming they plan to reveal themselves, technique-wise - I would hate to think they're showing off and don't plan to reveal the secrets to let us all learn the lesson).
But, then, that brings up the dilemma - if it's something do-able elsewhere, would showing everyone just invite the skript kiddies to hit someone else using Slash?
Anyway, congrats. It's a well-earned feather in your cap.
5. Audio cable connected between INPUT and OUTPUT of soundcard.
See above about signed drivers.
Oh, goodness. So you mean I have to back up two computers butt-to-butt and go from one to the other? Lord, no! How could a single man afford such a robust hardware implementation such as this?
Because, I'm not sure about you, but I need 64 permutations of foo.bar (or Foo.Bar or FOO.bar or FoO.bAr...etc). Not to mention helloworld.pl (1024 permutations keeping.pl lowercase, or 4096 if you allow.PL,.pL,.Pl and.pl)!
...he uses the same guy to do the soundtrack as he did for Pi. That music gave the whole movie a layer of intensity that couldn't have been acheived with the typical swell-dwell-fade crap that so many drama-type films use.
I for one, have not noticed any decrease in the relevance of a given search on google, and I use it incessantly. Leave them alone and let them make their money sans banner ads.
If the poster had made the effort to talk to Compaq, then most likely some other Geek/Nerd would have seen it during that time and submitted it, thus, the [now] poster would have dropped in the uber-geek rankings for being so "trivial".
It's well know that the whole Time Warner/AOL/etc clan is one of the most closed-source, buy-exactly-our-version-or-get-the-fsck-out kind of company. It's just impressive that the FTC lets them all together in the same bed like they are.
But, hell, if "we" beat the Worm back-in-the-day, I'm sure the hacks on these related clients can beat this.
I started college at the University of Cincinnati...After a couple of years, as I got to be more familiar with the various technologies that were out there (at this point I had a programming job) I realized that if I stayed in school, I'd be behind by about 4 years (version release-wise). I was learning ten times at my job what I could learn in school. So I quit.
now, 5 years later, I make well into 6 figures. It's just not worth it to, in essense, throw your career away for a piece of paper that, more or less, says "this person paid tuition for a whole 4/5/6 years!"
I think a lot of this is because college courses are, unfortunately, aimed at the lowest-common-denominator (with the exception, of course, of places like MIT and Berkeley). Since college has been "opened up to the masses", standards have unarguably fallen drastically. It's no longer a place of "higher learning" but rather a place to "leech off of the parents while getting shit-faced drunk nightly" for all too many people. With the schools having to cater to these sorts of people (and they do have to cater to them to pull in the tuition needed to run the place), those who truly want to learn suffer.
A few O'Reilly books can teach you more for less, as far as I'm concerned. And, as an added bonus, you can learn that way naked.

doesn't gnome do that, too? (it did on debian ppc)
how is bash your default shell? All I can find is tcsh....
I certainly won't pine over being un-linux-ified.
Now, if only I could get sshd to run....

At least he could go by "Richard" or something. *lol*

Well, when I replied saying "post it", the Nohican post was not yet up, so far that I saw....*shrug*

This sounds honestly cool. I tip my proverbial hat to you. Good luck with it.

Any VCs out there willing to take a risk?
duh.
Uh. junkbuster?

My paradigm is intact.
I believe the lyric is "...we don't need the key we'll break in..." not "...break it..."

Is your junkbusters broken?
Are you new here, or somethin'? (just kidding)
The bits from the explosion can stain.
Don't people generally hack the TiVo to ad space?
I don't dance with the devil. *wink*
I never implied that it wasn't free.

use yahoo! messenger, anyway! there's even a linux binary!
That's all I have to say about that.
