How do they count how many people have downloaded it? Hit count on their sf site? If so, then I suspect the actual number of times this has been downloaded will be much higher.
I apt-get nearly all my software, and the only server that process hits is my apt mirror. I don't know, perhaps it periodically sends stats back upstream?
I have found no driver (built in or otherwise) for the LG GSA-4081B that works in Windows 2003 Server. I would love to be proven wrong on this count.
Windows 2003 Server is NOT Windows XP. Of course the drive works fine under Windows XP, but that does not fulfill the XP/2003 requirement that was put forward in the grandparent post.
By grouping XP/2003 you might as well say OS9/OSX.
I would suspect that most people either put considerable work into their CV's and pass them around their family and friends for review, or hire comeone to do it for them.

Don't forget that 2003 is 5.1, XP is 5. Same core OS, same drivers, same services (for the most part).
2000 is Windows NT 5 XP is Windows NT 5.1
What Windows 2003 server is, lord knows, but it sure isn't XP. Perhaps 5.1 Server minus drivers? I know they have their whole hardware certification program to reduce problems with cheap hardware, but it does defeat the purpose of an off-the-shelf-OS advertised as running with off-the-shelf hardware.
If you can't use a device in 2003, chances are you can't use it in XP (bluetooth is an exception, however most vendors have their own stacks so it doesn't matter anyways).
My DVD writer came with XP drivers, that cannot and will not install under Windows Server 2003. The OS thinks it's a generic CDROM.
If you can't use it in XP, you probably can't use it in Debian either.... Linux has it's advantages, hardware support is not one of them;)
I installed the same drive on the same machine running Debian, and one power-up later I'm happily burning in k3b.
Try to find me a consumer DVD burner (one that you could pick up at BestBuy) that works in Debian and not XP/2003, and write back...
You know, some guy called Saul onced loved to butcher Christians, then something happened and he changed his name and decided to write a few books. And he's not the only one. Take one from the hundreds of people in the last two centuries who have made positive differences and look at what they used to be like.
Are you at all familiar with the concept of being born again?
One of its many facets is that your life up to that turning point in no way dictates who you are from then on.
Read about it. Whether or not you believe that stuff, it's nonetheless very, very real.
I mean just look at the crap that's put out on telly:
Promiscuous idiot island. Sitcom with token gay person making wise-cracks about straight people. Show about 4 sluts who parade their stuff around some city looking for instant gratification. Four shows, back-to-back, trying to figure out how and why this person or that dog was gruesomly killed.
And the kiddies programs? Bordering on mindless drivel, but what's worse is the adult programs are advertised right in the middle of them.
But I'm not convinced their agenda of censorship is the way to go.
I'd be more in favour of just not watching telly altogether, taking my kids outside or, if it's raining, reading a book while listening to music, making stuff out of old egg-cartons and raisin packets, you get the idea.
Perhaps making my next TV upgrade a plasma-screen without a tuner wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.
Television should never be a substitute baby-sitter. Unfortunately it's no longer politically correct to suggest that people actually spend time with their kids. I mean come on, I've got a career, isn't that more important?
Yes, but the ads on slashdot change. This Linux Resource Center has been there for weeks (if not months).
I no longer read linuxtoday because of this policy they have adopted. I wonder how many other readers they've lost. The sad part is they don't display any feedback links on their front page so I can't even tell them why their losing customers.
rsync is great, but I still haven't figured out how to do incremental backups with it. I don't mean the --backup option which creates incremental backups of the old copies, but it would be really useful to create a 600MB incremental backup of a 20GB directory that you could burn to CD once a week.
Slashdot Mirror
I suspect it was omitted for much the same reason as progressive evolution.
Neither are scientific, neither are falsifiable. Both rely upon unprovable axioms, and neither have thus far managed to display any predictive power.
Yeah, we could do it Debian-style!
We could have Wikipedia/stable and the current version as Wikipedia/testing.
Are you sure the flash was used?
Despite the old proverb, many cameras lie, telling you that the flash was used, when it really wasn't.
Funny, none of them interpreted my tables, slideshow or floorplans correctly.
Though, as others have pointed out, AbiWord and KOffice can properly read at least some OOo files.
For what good it did him.
OpenOffice.org pride themselves on having such an open file format that anyone can use, but tell me:
Are there actually any programs other than OpenOffice.org that can read/write in OOo formats?

I see CinePaint (aka Film Gimp) already has 8/16/32 bits per channel.
Why not merge that code back into the main trunk?
There's only so many times you can hear the phrase: "Hey, it's that fat kid who thinks he's a jedi" before it starts to sink beneath your skin.
I mean, schoolyard bullying is one thing, but imagine having the whole world laugh at you.
(not with you, at you).
...that fixes all the lightsaber effects in the DVD.
And I want it for Linux. Yesterday, if possible.
The mice will see you now.
Sort of like:
When a linux user defects to a using windows, the average intelligance of both parties increases.
You misunderstood me.

VA? What, Vancouver is a state now?
Really? Even if Windows 2003 Server doesn't see the drive as a DVD drive?
How does it do it?

Sure, the LG GSA-4081B. QED.
that windows server 2003 will actually be able to use up to date hardware?
Will I finally be able to plug my DVD writer into my PDC and back up the AD tree?
Didn't think so. That's it, I'm going back to Debian.
Are you aware that the basis for most spy novels is in actual events?
Go read up on the history of American Intelligance, in particular during WW2 and the Cold War.
It reads as well as any spy novel.
Digging up dirt, are we?

I guess they can't have been keeping up with their 'protection' payments.
