It really is. You can remove core parts of the OS and the OS has no problem. I remember playing around with Windows ME and removing media player, MSN stuff, and other things I had replacements for or didn't need. All MS has to do is add these things to the Remove Windows Components.
This might be evidence of global warming, but not unlike the ozone hole, it is mainly speculation. Just because the earth is getting warmer in the center doesn't mean polution and other man evils are plotting to ruin the environment. As far as science can tell (at the moment), the only way that we can for sure ruin the environment is to take drastic measures (like pouring oil over the entire planet).
Also, one would think drilling would create heat so the info comming back might not be any more accurate than carbon dating.
It's great to see this distrobution gorw like it has. I was a user of Linux-Mandrake 6.0 and then later 7.1. During the 6.0 series it was mainly Red Hat Linux with a small set of diffrences (for instance KDE was default instead of GNOME). During the 7.x years MDK really started to do their own thing. With their advent of Mandrake Update, smooth and easy installer, autoinstalling of hardware devices, etc they have really come in to their own.
It's funny to think that I originally bought Mandrake 6.0 because I didn't have enough money on me to buy Red Hat 6.0 (MDK was ten bucks cheaper) and now it's something so user friendly my mother could use it.
I was an admin on a medium sized corporate network that used a mixture of Novell, NT, and Unix. I have to admit that virii were a large problem. No matter how much safe gaurd I would set up, how many Norton license I bought, etc... they would find a way to sneak a virus on to a disk and ruin their whole weeks worth of work. But here is the catch; it was worth it to allow the employess access to the net. Most people brought virii in on disk on in MS Word macros, etc... not the net. Trying to fiddle with the net on the corporate side is like telling a college student he can only read the young adult section at the library.
And honestly, if virii are overhauling your network Windows is not the solution for you. Try a BSD, Linux, Solaris, Tru64, Sco, GNU/hurd, or something that has better access controls.
Mandrake makes a very good product. It's easy to isntall, update, and use. It is the distro of choice (for the most part) for those Windows refuges. I urge users of Mandrake that do not purchase the boxed sets to support Mandrake for at least a few months.
I've noticed a few people posting saying that it is a bad idea to 'come crying to the users for money.' I see it a diffrent way all together. It seems that they are asking the community in which they have dedicated time and development to for some support to continue their work.
I go to a university in florida about 4 or so hours away from UF and I can tell you that warez is still going strong. Browsing over the very insecure Windows Network Neighborhood I found many 'go here for password to my share and get my warez.' There is also a large amount of students who idle on IRC looking for Mathmatica or another 'needed' app for classes. I've also noticed college staff/admins with warez... one teacher was using a core keygen for some software, another was installing Microsoft Office on lots of systems with a internet-found license... he didn't like my idea of using Star Office or Open Office instead.
I used Be on a few occasions and really enjoyed it. I found the UI to be refreshing and the speed of the system great. I really think they had something that could have been the proprietary (sp?) ia32 Windows rival, unfortunatly Microsoft wouldn't have it.
Well, kind of. When I was younger my family had AOL for about 6 months. After a while we couldn't afford the per-hour charges so we switched to the unlimted time for a flat fee. About 3 or 4 months later we figured out AOL wasn't such a good deal and decided to go with a local ISP, but unfortunatly AOL didn't agree and kept charging us. They charged us for 3 more months of service that we never used. Of course, being quite upset (and ripped off) my mother called them askign why this was happening and their responce was because we were signed up for AOL. Aparently saying no thanks isn't good enough for leaving AOL.
It seems that Sun is a bit scared about Solaris losing out to Linux. They are both Unix(-like), both solve the same problems but Linux does it cheaper and allows you to look ath the source code. While Sun has used Linux to gain money and new friends (penguin computing) they would rather do their own controlling from Solaris.
It just won't happen. No matter how much the RIAA or others try to inforce this people have a right to free speech which includes using their own bandwith (and those of listeners who want to tune in).
Capitalism aiding Stalinism. A weird new way to fuel a new corporate feudalistic society. Granted, no one is promised internet connectivity, but there is the undeniable human right to free speech and free information.
Acording to the article it is against the law to publish information on how to make explosives. How do demolition componies, avalanche experts, fireworks companies, and those who supply these companies with explosives get around this?
Someday you will have to have licenses for all you senses and pay money to keep them valid. After all, we can't have people breaking agreements now can we?
I've said it a thousand times. You don't need to rip audio with xyz brand cd to mp3 software. High quality audio will continue to be online as long as sound hardware is available to people.
For instance, I have a lot of cables, a decent soundcard, and a nice CD player. I can easily set up the audio out on the CD player to the soundcards audio in and make raw wavs.
Crayons (sp?) are an invention. So is the idea of the coloring book. Before all that what kids do at school/for fun? I don't think taking the newest technology away from kids is a good idea, but it shouldn't be their only outlet for creativity.
I remember when my school got Apple ]['s and we all had to start learning how to type and program in BASIC. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Given, I was in 3rd grade, but it was more rewarding than coloring, running around, doing algebra homework, etc...
I've heard about things like this in the past. It's not a bad idea except that it pushes for one OS only and networking protocals are not foolproof. Sniffing, injection, resurection of vampire taps, etc..., can chang the home cumputer from personal PC to global war ground.
It seems kind of odd to me (comming from a western culture) that this kind of technology came to be. Most people would rather have something to stop the sexual side effect called children rather than create more in labs.
I like both dead tree and e-books. I like the ebook form for books that are for refrence or are smaller in size (like perl in a nutshell).
As for the names of books, I like them to have weird names. Hacking ruby for Midgets sounds great. Those kinds of names both catch my attention and let me flaunt the books. It's much more fun to quote 'Java for Recovering Adicts' than 'Java: Second Edition.'

I fell for it for half an hour. I give everyone at /. the right to laugh at me today ...

Crypto helps aid in privacy, and privacy should be available to everyone no matter who they are or where they live.
If the RIAA was planted in any other country we in the US would refer to them as a cartel.

It looks like the rf24.iso is unreachable via the link provided. I belive that http://ftp.cqu.edu.cn/linux/iso/rf24.iso is the same release.

This has been known for at least a month or so now. There is also a problem with kazaa along the same lines.
