Are these people so out of touch with the world most of us live in that they don't realize a lot of people will think of that goofy guy from "Friends" when they hear this name? Personally, I don't want my applications behaving anything like this guy.
Oh, and does this make Outlook Chandler's cross-dressing dad?
I'd rather have a toilet roll holder that could notify someone when it was (almost) empty. Would be nice for public or semi-public places like schools etc.
A couple of years ago, I found it to be easier just to look stuff up with google than to try and maintain a bookmark-list across accounts and OSs. Just try to remember as much specific stuff from the website as possible, whole centences work great. You'll be amazed at how well it works.
(of course, when I say "does anyone still", I mean "I don't and everyone should be more like me":)
I wonder what kind of non-distribution agreement the RHN subscribers have to agree to. If they don't have to agree to such a thing, I can't see any reason to release it to them first and the rest of the world a week later. Unless it's to save their own bandwidth by having the RHN-subscribers redistributing for them instead of having everyone jump directly to their server.

The old Bell Labs standard called for 1/3 of system faults to be ascribed to hardware, 1/3 to software, and 1/3 to operator error. Most available operating systems clearly aren't there yet
That doesn't sound quite right. At least, if the users at Bell are anything like the users where I work, hardware and software really have to fail a lot more frequently if they're going to keep up with the operator errors.
Palantir kan be found at www.netsonde.com. It's a system not entirely unlike Nagios, written mostly in Perl. Works with all the unix-like OSs I can think of in addition to Windows.
We're proud to report that A bunch of geeks are running a website with dual-posted stories. Not cheap, however, subscriptions start at $5 for 1000 pages. Coincidentally, this has also been reported as "absolutely nuts", but we've received no reports of anyone wishing more power to the editors of this site.
Slashdot is now so low on cash that they've started doing tech-support for the local computer store. In the future, expect stories like "Ask Slashdot: How do I make my new SoundBlaster work with Linux", "Ask Slashdot: My harddrive seems slow, what can be wrong with it" and "Ask Slashdot: My hotmail.com e-mailaddress doesn't work anymore, why?".
You gotta wonder why they don't just make every story about hardware come with a comment about clusters when it's packaged. That would save us just SO much work.
I imagine the spam "Now you can get a 50% increased chance of having the super powers you always wanted!!!". Coming to you from the same people who brought you "Want to be a SPY!?" and "Spank me HARD, make me wet"
(titles taken from actual spam-messages I've gotten during the last couple of months)
This site (yes, I clicked on the link) actually rendered so horribly in my browser (Opera 5 for Linux) that whatever it is these people do I wouldn't know about it.
Running it through W3C's validator showed that not only does the company itself have quite an er... alternative view on how the internet works, the people they hired to write their webpage aren't exactly up to speed on web standards either.
Are there people stabbing themselves in their ears?
I imagine from now on, parents will ask their kids, "If everyone else were using large RDBMS on Linux, would you do that?"

I meant "should", not "shold". This time, I'll use the 'preview' button. Really.
I meant published, not packaged. As slashcode tells me, I shold have used the 'preview'-button.

Whenever I hear claims of some company being "interested in" some technology, I imagine the following scenario:
(at trade show)
salesman: "Hey, we've got a magic powder that we can mix into stuff and do cool stuff with it and stuff"
joe schmoe:"Yeah, that would be kinda cool if you can make it work. Maybe then I'd even buy some of it for myself"
salesman:"What company do you work for Sir?"
joe schmoe:"Motorola. Why do you ask?"
I imagine the spam "Now you can get a 50% increased chance of having the super powers you always wanted!!!". Coming to you from the same people who brought you "Want to be a SPY!?" and "Spank me HARD, make me wet"
