What caused this lockout is this, the management wants to bust the union and be able to hire contract/short term workers for half the salary or less than that of current workers. The current workers are not fighting for more money, but for job security, for themselves and new people comming into the workplace. Its the same thing that happened to a lot of industries/companies in the 90's. What irks me the most, is that this is paid for by TAXPAYERS!
They have been simulcasting the BBC news in the place of CBC news, and now that the workers at the BBC have found out, they are furious, as this says that they support the lockout, which they do not!
Its low, and underhanded management that are trying to make a profit on a taxpayer based system.
Easy to configure, can run on low end hard ware, I've set it with a P75, 128mb ram, 1gb hard disk, 2 ethernet cards. Run two school labs off it at university. It's based off of FreeBSD.

I think the only solution left for the recording/movie industry is: to make it illegal to own any medium except vynil records. Make us go to mass recording burning events, burn everything, casettes, CD's, computers, all of it. Then hand us a turntable. I mean the Vynil medium was the most fool proof method.
Oh wait, wasn't the main reason CD's were pushed in the 80's was because the sales of vynil were going south?.. hmm;)
I mean, I only have so much extra cash to spend on things these days. Between supporting Mandrake and Transgaming and Opera, well thats it folks. I cant afford to support you all!:)
Ive had many a friend brag on about thier latest computer speakers are rated from 250 ~ 500 Watts (RMS mind you). And I say, oh yeah? I bet I should be able to beat my Peavy 2x12" guitar amp thats only a measly 160Watts.. and they say, for sure! I bring my amp over, put it on 7 (thats all it takes) and jam out some chords. Gives them a new perspective on Wattage rating (and a nice ring in the ears). Its the same crap they have been pulling for years on low end car stereo equipment.
RMS != true power folks.
Why did it tank? Well pretty much all the exciting parts were in the previews, in fact I thought the previews were better then the movie after I saw it. The movie felt rushed, and pieces of the plot just seemed absent. Ok, wedding with Riker, that was what a whole five mins when they have been working on that relationship since the original series? The whole he's your clone thing, face your demons was really kinda lame IMHO. I had a hard time believing that this was penned by a 'fan' of the series who knows Star Trek inside and out. When we left the theater it was like I having watched a lame episode of the series on TV (which happened from time to time). For it to be a final chapter in the movie series (ya right) it went out with a wimper and not a bang. But its not just this movie, the last couple have felt incomplete and rushed. The last Trek movie that I felt was really well done was 'First Contact'.
ah well, my 2 cents.
We used mp3.com and a a Canadian-Music site to help promote our band. http://www.canadian-music.com/homeband.cfm?tagname =T&ID=2538&band=THROATMOTOR&nav=a&URLName=showband.cfm
Its hard to even get listened to these days, especially with a new sound that we are going after. Bands with talent are overlooked more and more for stuff that can be molded into the 'machine'

I just happend to have one here at home, matching serial number and everything. Since their server seems to be also melted at the moment, what exactly is involved in shipping these back? Are the shipping charges refunded, do I go through the retailer I purchased it from?
*sigh*
Ive been running Mandrake 8.2 for over a year as a webserver, and now 9 on my desktop. Not stable? my ass, with each release it has gotten MORE stable not less. Couple Mandrake with Winex, and well why would you ever use windows again?
It seems strange that a country that is openly embracing Linux and the open source movement, also says you cant link to thier sites. What is with that?
I like mplayer the way it is, I can compile it for each system I have to get the best performance out of that system. You cant always do that with a precompiled binary.
.. Having 'regions' for games and/or DVD's doesnt make sense.. for example, if you travel abroad to Europe or Japan lets say.. you see a really cool title that you would like to pick up, but cant because of the stoopid regional encoding. Personally I think it would be in corporations best interests to remove regional encoding to boost sales.. oh well thats my 0.02 cents..
No it doesnt, but its true that they have a tendency to repost stories.. and/or post a story without reading it and make a bold statement about the article that may not be true..
Overall Slashdot is a good site..

Besides the 'geek factor', this guy has once again done somthing ingenious. He obviously knows what he's doing, and even routes out his own cases, and they look professional, i think the latest SNESp (his word) is very well done.. I think a console company should hire this guy to help design the next portable..
agreed completly.. if they want to do a 'model' type of processor, then its time to re-doing everything from scratch, and not based on current production schemes.

These keyboards are great, you dont have to reach for anything, all is within an easy distance away. Ive happily used one for over two years now!

moron, have anything useful to say then that?
Is anyone else bothered by the fact that we are losing all of our privacy?
true true, but they always come to us asking the questions, dont they?
