Oh great, so if you have a system like that, I'll order one for all the beancounters in my office. I mean, we must be top-of-the-line to stay competitive and you seem to be so happy with that box.
I may decide to order 4 drives for each desktop though, because my secretaries will do Excel a lot. That takes a lot of space!!1!1
Hey! And I could also require that everyone installs Longhorn beta or whatever, they'll have enough horsepower!!!
Trust me, you can never -- never -- have enough RAM, disk, or CPU when doing this. And people need to do this; home movies/videos are painfully boring unless chopped down to the interesting bits.
And video editors use what? MacOS. Or maybe Linux, like IL&M. But who's going to buy a super-powerful computer to run Longhorn, dammit, to do video editing? In 2006 (more like 2008), I expect Macs to be even more better at video stuff.
Too bad I already posted in this thread - that's worth +5 insightful. Most forums, boards, etc. have archiving. Even Usenet (thanks to Google) - I was able to track posts I sent in 1998.
And GMail will not AFAIK release your emails to the public. So I will/would simply not use this service to send really private mails. But I don't care if there's a private archive somewhere of me writing "happy birthday" to my father.
True, I thought about this after posting. This would be one hell of a bayesian filter - if 100,000 users each have 10,000 spam emails stored for idexing.
Plus, as you said, all the mail/web domains Google could harvest... Though I'm not sure I want them to index that hot new 0-day-fetish-pr0n link some friend sent me. *cough*
True, but is there a repository of diffs for each new version? If it's possible to download only the diff files, it could be done with Gentoo. I'll look into it.
"emerge -u gentoo-sources" will fetch the current stable release and install it. The only thing left to do it the usual "make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install". Now, replace "gentoo-sources" with the sources set you prefer (mm, grsec, development (2.6), gaming, vanilla, etc.)
But sure, if it was implemented at kernel level, it would be easier for non-gentoo users to update to next stable release. Could be made as a modules I guess. Love/Cox/Tosatti, I hope you read this.:)
That BoycotBBS is no longer at that adress. Google has a link to "http://boycot.no-ip.com/boycotbbs" but it's not working anyway. So I guess BotcotBBS is dead.
Do you, per any chance, have any good references (say a book or else, a website) on the subject? I'm really interested in learning more about the Asperger's Syndrome but I fear that simply googling it will give me stupid half-professional psycho-pop "tips" on how to overcome it.
I just want to add my voice to the chorus praising PARANOIA. I've been a hardcore RPG player/writer/master for years (I even got paid for DMing games for 2 years). I'm now out of the "scene" but PARANOIA is the only rulebook I still read from times to times, just for fun. It's the best RPG I've ever played. Period.
Good work Allen and company, I'm glad another publisher continued the work after WEG.
It's GNU in the sense that the source code is free and available to everyone. Also, letting everyone "deal with misinformation" isn't always the right thing. Let's say a bunch of neo-nazis come on Wikipedia and start to delete the writeups about the Holocaust because they think it's misinformation... Sure, other editors could reserve everything, but that's time lost. And sometimes the person deleting something might be right but the back-up will be put back online, even if it's misinformation.
I myself prefer a voting system, where writeups at say, -5 get reviewed by editors (who are not always right, sure).
Bah! Everything2 has more than 449,000 articles and all in all, 921,175 nodes. It's not really a wiki but anyone with a (free) account can write anything. It has a voting system implemented to weed out the crappy/too short/too old/superseded/getting-to-know-you articles.
I donated $5.00 to Wikipedia but I donated $25.00 to E2.

All right, I've placed an order for this special, shipped directly to Darl's address:
Hatchling Special 1: 50 Mini Superworms, 50 Mini Mealworms, one vial of fruit flies (about the size of pin head crickets) Worms and flies are packed in food for long life with instructions. $13.95 Priority Mail Shipping included!
-
You can pay with PayPal, so you don't have to worry about giving your credit card number to a weird company selling roaches and "Confused Flour Beetles".
Hey, this small package was only $13.95, no shipping! They're out of roaches though.:(
But we *already* know that this virus was written by a Malaysian or a North Korean who doesn't even owns a computer and who spent the last five years in internet cafes.;)
I'm currently scrapping a perfectly fine Gentoo box to install Win98 on it.;) Well, at least I'll be able to play Fallout 2 again, if that piece of code doesn't use 100% of my cpu.
So who has the motivation? People who've shorted SCO stock and need it to fall, so they can cover their position. People who've invested in SCO and need a reason to sell off without explaining that they bought into something stupid. Not us.
Amen to that. That's exactly what I thought when I first read the articles. Many people have gone short on SCOX in the last few weeks.

Since that 1GB will quickly be filled with spam and nothing else. Let them search and index THAT!

Already done, in Gentoo.

Holy schmuck, look at that formatting. Guess I'm too drunk, sorry.

For a goot Old School BBS, you could always try : it's been running for 18-19 years now. You can connect using telnet or phone lines, just like in the old days. This BBS fulfilled by computer addiction when I went offline (not enough money) for 6 months, 2 years ago. Glad it's still there, just in case.
Er guys? Did you know which day it is? I mean, what's up with all those interesting and important news?!
It's 01/04, don't ruin my day, Slashdot!
Which driver exactly? If it works on Red Hat, I don't see why it couldn't on Gentoo. Let us know and it may make it to Portage. :)
Is it me or the tracker is down? My download stopped at 99.8%, there's only one piece missing! I'm sure they did it on purpose!

HOL! Oh my god, I thought I was the only one who ever heard about that game. :)

Air-traffic control systems don't run no Linux. They either run QNX or SCO.
