I'd say I install or remove an average of 5 packages per day. Part of the reason I use linux is to try out all of the thousands of packages available to me to see which ones I like best... and somehow I haven't gotten through them all in 7 years.
You might be surprised to find that I'm a huge fan of real science and technology. I fit the geek stereotype: I work in IT, have an affinity for all things science and technology, read Heinlein and watch Star Trek. My reason for saying that only people matter is that we're the reason for all of this (art, science, technology) existing in the first place. When I say photography is really about people, I don't mean just the subjects of the photos, I mean the photographers and the audiences who appreciate their work.
Science, art, and technology (all of which I enjoy) are there because we create, explore, and pursue knowledge.
No, clearly all good -pictures- are about -people-, too.
What's important to you, technical details?
To use the Star Trek example, all the technology and pseudoscience wouldn't have mattered at all if it wasn't for the portrayal of the human spirit and thirst for exploration.
That's a difference between Gnome and KDE, not between the distros. There's a lot more to a distro than desktop environment... both KDE and Gnome can be run on either.
In fact, there is a customized version of Ubuntu that uses KDE by default called Kubuntu.
Ubuntu, like debian, has spectacular package management support through dpkg and apt. Slackware simply lacks that functionality, using tgz files to unpack onto the filesystem... no dependency resolution, package searching, downloading from (one or more) repositories, or any of the features I've come to depend on to make installing and updating software less of a chore.
It's a goatse picture in the boot image (1.44 MB) part of the ISO that gets loaded to the frame buffer when you boot.
The entire rest of the 1 GB is almost definitely garbage (random data). I didn't bother checking, I was too pissed off having just seen goatse across my monitor.
Many Jews also write "G-d" instead of "God". While this later substitution is by no means required by religious law (only the Hebrew name, not the English, is holy), it is done to remind the reader of the holiness attached to God's name.
Wow... this is the first time I've ever seen the word "loose" used correctly on Slashdot.
Here's a hint to those of you who don't know what I'm talking about: you can lose (to rid oneself of) your car keys, but you can loose (to release) a bunch of people on a problem.
You're thinking of Haiku, formerly known as OpenBeOS. I was a member of the project for all of two weeks, until I realized I had nothing to contribute and I should let people do real work. I had dreams of glory and whatnot.
But YellowTAB are using components from Haiku, notably the SVG support in Tracker (quite possibly the entire OpenTracker). They can do that because most open source BeOS software is BSD licensed.
YellowTab purchased the rights to redistribute BeOS in binary form (as well as modify it) just before it was sold to Palm, if I remember correctly. This agreement was still in effect after Palm became the owner of it, so it is effectively an agreement between Palm and YellowTab.
I don't think YellowTab have access to the source code... I'm pretty sure they're just replacing components with drop-in replacements as they go (the API is very open, to the point that you can really get away with that sort of thing). This is unknown/unconfirmed though.
"They will not publically confirm that they have the BeOS source code or what their licencing deal with BeOS's owners PalmSource is, but it's likely that whatever arrangment they have is legal, at least in Germany."
When Apple realized that their own efforts (Taligent/Pink/Copland/Rhapsody/Whatever) to create a next-generation (pardon the pun) OS had failed, they started looking for another OS to purchase to use as a base for their next one.
Before Steve Jobs came along in a package deal with his new company NeXT, Apple was looking at Be as a potential aquisition:
"Despite interest from Apple to replace the Mac OS with BeOS, the system did not achieve a significant marketshare." (Wikipedia: BeOS)
The hardware requirements should be about the same as BeOS 5.0.3 Pro... maybe a little higher considering there is a newer network stack and media kit.
I'd estimate at least a 200 mhz Pentium-class (at minimum... 400 mhz would be a lot happier) and at least 48 MB of RAM, preferably 64 or more.
It might run on less, but not very comfortably. I've gotten it (BeOS 5) running before on a 120 mhz Pentium with 32 MB of RAM, but it was somewhat painful.
Let me introduce you to the broken window fallacy. Long story short, the hidden costs outweigh the obvious benefits of a destructive act.
Just trust the economists on this (or read that article!)--things would have been even -better- had the kid not broken the window / created the SuperVirus. Can such a destructive act really leave us all better off than we started? Your instincts (as mine once did) say yes, because it appears more potential work has been created, but that is not the case.
Well, clearly morals are imparted to us by our infallible religious leaders and handed down by God himself. You don't learn morals by example, you learn them by being beaten and forced to suck off^H^Hlisten to the preacher-man.
On a more serious note, do members of the religious right even believe morals -are- learned by example, or do they honestly think they can simply impart morals through a book and a few words?
In case you didn't notice, the reason for the story was that Jon Johansen has -already- gotten past Apple's fix from -the story earlier today-. That's what's impressive about it.:)
The story posted before this one is -exactly- what makes it an issue, not a non-issue. If Apple hadn't fixed the DRM, then Jon wouldn't have had to get past it again.

It was originally the RedHat Package Manager, as it was designed specifically for RedHat.

Some countries have an age of consent as high as 21. So visiting pretty much any porn site could get you in trouble in such a country.
Oh, like any of the "teen" sites have girls under 30.
I think what you meant was "These words share a root but are discrete."

I hope you're simply ignorant on the matter (though not any longer) and are not criticising someone else's religious custom.
Yes, I'm feeding the trolls. Take that, subspace.
that was Sealab 2021, you insensitive clod!
Azureus ... and those are just three that I use -daily-.

It doesn't crash mine.

sawfish? is that one still around? extremely customizable in Scheme, iirc.
also maybe metacity? not sure though.
I still use BeOS, you insensitive clod!
Well, I don't think they think it'll be cheaper or easier than their failed pr0n czar...
they just figured out that they can pass off all the work to the ISPs instead, so they don't care.
