I'm an ex-SuSE user...it's not SuSE's fault, but I thought I had a memory leak, then I had lockups and I blaimed it all on them...Turns out it was just a hardware issue after all...sorry SuSE. So now I'm using redhat 7.2, and it works great. I do kinda miss YaST2, but redhat has it's own slew of gui config tools, such as Serviceconf..and a whole bunch of stuff under the Utilities->configuration menu of Gnome (I think that's where it is). At any rate, I also wanted to note that I really hate it when people bash SuSE (a lot of super-1337 people on IRC), it's a good distro. Good enough to be a partner of IBM's Linux front, and good enough for anyone else. One big gripe about SuSE: non-standard locations for files, etc. It took a LOT of tweaking/installing to get sourceforge projects to compile because the config scripts could never find the gtk-config script or the QT libraries...big pain...so I had to install gtk+ and QT in order for some things to compile...But at least at the user level, SuSE is Super Easy!
Much science requires blind faith. See the atom,quantum theory, macro-evolution
Also let me note: I believe in evolution on a MICRO scale. It is FACT. It has been proven. But I did not evolve from an ape. An ape is a species all its own. Merely because micro-evolution exists is not enough empirical evidence to prove the existence of the missing link and that man evolved from ape. It's about as believable as the Easter Bunny.
The new religion.
It has thousands of over-zealous followers.
These followers believe what the higher-ups (the Priests of science, to follow the analogy) tell them blindly without thinking for themselves.
These new scientists have their own form of the crusades: to belittle and scoff at individuals who choose to believe in older, non-scientifically-based religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
Fear the new scientists, they are the most close-minded people you will ever find.
All atheists I know believe that they are 100% correct in all their blind theories. The theories of science are just as unfounded and based on blind faith as the old religions.
Fear the person who tells you that they are a scientist and bashes your beliefs, for they are the real religious zealots, following their new religion of theoretical evidence.
Anyone that belittles another person for their beliefs is an idiot. Regardless of what religion they belong to. I'm POSITIVE that this will get modded down as troll, because most of the psuedo-intellectuals on slashdot are the people I am talking about. People that laugh and say there is no such thing as God. I say there's no such thing as an atom. Show me one. Pick one up. Taste it. Smell it. What? You can't? Well, I can't taste touch or smell God either, but I believe He is there. It's the same thing.
You're right, he's clearly out of it. Remember when he wrote that page or two long rant about getting people to stop using MSDOC as the defacto standard? What, he hasn't heard of Abiword? Staroffice?
/me thinks he uses pico to write his bad html rants.
Actually, E*TRADE is switching their entire operation over to linux. This is the 3rd time I've said this, and no one has listened yet.
But here's the article anyway.
I posted this to./ , but it was (of course) rejected...
An AC tries to tell me that I have no experience in coding DHTML? That's a laugh.
The only reason you had to spend those extra "five days writing extra code to make it work under the various flavours of Navigator/Mozilla" is because you didn't write it to be standards compliant in the first place. Go back to "coding" in Front Page.
A really Big Deal (TM).
Let's just hope that while AOL is there, they give the OSS Community a little "shout-out" to let the DoJ et al realize how badly they hosed us.
By "better" you mean of course "used to it" right?
IE is not better than Mozilla/Netscape. Ok, actually it's better than netscape 'cuz Netscape sucks.
But Mozilla trashes IE (mouse gestures, tabbed browsing...etc).
How come netscape 6 is so far from the beaten path of the Dragon?
why don't these kids use their bad habits for powers of good? (or pseudo-good) Why don't they dDOS a couple of the millions of white-supremacy or (insert your favorite bigot fsck here) websites that are up? And I know you're going to say that those types of websites are protected by free speech, and I agree with you, but I think we can all agree that these kids are going to trash something, it might as well be something that SUCKS
Heh, that reminds me.
We were having an episode of that when I was growing up, you know what my dad did?
He bought a cast-iron mailbox, and a quarter-inch thick 4x4 of solid steel. This 4x4 was the post of the mailbox. Then he cemented the whole thing into about a foot of solid concrete.
A day or so later, our mailbox suffered one small dent...and oddly, it never happened again.
Then they took to driving through the edge of our lawn...but that's another story...just like how the 6-inch spikes that we put in front of our lawn is another story;)

Not only is that code stupid, but you might want to use the (ampersand)lt; and (ampersand)gt; to make symbols like these: < > , that's why (in case you were wondering) your #include did not appear-- slashscode thought you mean that iostreams.h was an html tag.

Sorry,
I know slashdot isn't a help forum, but how exactly do you compile a new kernel on a redhat system? Why do you use rpm? Can't you just unzip a tarball and compile the kernel from source like you would on any other distribution? This seems very odd to me...almost limiting (Bad Thing). And what's up with Grub? There's very few FAQs, HOWTOs on the complete new redhat way of doing things, or I would RTFM.
Thanks to all in advance for any help.
The irony that the terrorists used a product made by one of the US's biggest corporations to protect plans it was making against it may not be lost on an administration that recently relaxed rules on the export of "strong" encryption. Tighter controls may follow.
So running linux is Unamerican!

You're not really serious about this post are you? The legal notice clearly points out the use of downloading material, which I would assume they mean software, images, etc, _NOT_ html. There's obviously no problem _viewing_ the site on multiple machines, but you can't build a intranet-based kylix solution (as if you'd want to, anyway).
Hetz,
I wrote that post in a hasty manner. I want to see many linux projects that you mention (such as WineX) succeed, however, I have a real problem with a company/product such as Lindows -- which just materializes out of nowhere -- using the good name of Linux. I just have a sinking feeling that it will fail, and I don't want it to be associated with Linux if that is the case.
Like I said before, I am all for Linux succeeding on the desktop.
No it doesn't. It looks stupid.
I really hope this project fails, because I'm positive that it's destined for failure, and failure is not something that I associate with linux.
I don't want to be wearing a linux shirt and have
someone say--"Hey that linux thing sucks! My version
crashes all the time!"
and I say, "What do you mean, what distro are you running?"
"Distro? What's that? I run Lindows"
Listen, I am All For Linux on the Desktop. As a matter of fact, I don't use windows for anything anymore. At all. My machine is 100% Multimedia Linux. But this Lindows thing that just appears out of nowhere sounds bad for the entire Open Source community. I'm sure it's going to fail, but I just hope it doesn't stain us on the way down...
Obviously, but that isn't illegal, that's simply backing your company. What is illegal, however, is when a person votes 228 times for his company. I'm not sure (no one is) if the email from MS to its minions, erm, employees specifically said, "Hey vote 300 times or you're fired." --But you never know, it might have.
...it just might have.

Religion forces subjective opinion on others
That is a stereotype and common misconception.
Besides, you're telling me that science doesn't force opinion on others?
Science requires empirical proof, religion requires faith
Much science requires blind faith. See the atom,quantum theory, macro-evolution
Also let me note: I believe in evolution on a MICRO scale. It is FACT. It has been proven. But I did not evolve from an ape. An ape is a species all its own. Merely because micro-evolution exists is not enough empirical evidence to prove the existence of the missing link and that man evolved from ape. It's about as believable as the Easter Bunny.

It might be a good idea not to nitpick unless you have the slightest clue what you're talking about.
Elitest means "to be elite" not "most elite."
