In Firefox with the mplayer plugin I get three videos playing at once when I load the page, and it's just a babble. I wonder if I can set it up to play videos when I click them or something...
Is it a trilogy or just another sequel. Unless they were originially conceived as a trilogy, the sequels are always crappier (or at best not as good) than the original. The example of Empire Stikes Back being better than Star Wars follows this rule too.
Star Wars was not intended to be a trilogy when the first film was made.
For the ptrace bug, an root-shell exploit available on 17 March 2003, and a working fix was not available on linux-kernel until the following week. Evidence found on the machine indicates that were cracked during that week.
but piracy is to technology what marijuana is to medicine -- there are good arguments for and against legality
There are good arguments for legalizing piracy?
Are you mad?
If you read the manpage you will see that you can have any border width you want in evilwm, just launch it with
evilwm -bw 5
for a 5 pixel border for example.
The RIAA will be pissed especially since this means all live performances will end up on kazaa and in better quality than the usual amatuer recording where the crowd is louder that the band.
I never noticed that before. Why doesn't slashdot use PNG for images? Considering the amount of moaning about patents that goes on here you would think/. of all sites would avoid using GIFs.
If you are unaware of the patent problems concerning GIFs take a look at http://burnallgifs.org/
What has ICO (www.ico.org) got to do with anything?
I was just expressing the fact that as Shigeru Miyamoto said "Nintendo doesn't believe the improvements in hardware and technology per se can gain its game creator more oportunity as far as gameplay goes." As far as consoles go it's the games stupid!
The only console company of any interest is Nintendo as they concentrate on churning out quality games like Mario, Zelda and the like. Sony and Microsoft are trying to turn their consoles into PCs which is pointless because since they are cheaper they are inevitably not as good (also the lack of decent upgrades makes them out of date in a year). So I'll be sticking to my GameCube and PC thank you very much.
I do not know if this would be legal (IANAL) but couldn't they get some sort of court order for MS to allow a few experts to check the code and see if they could remove parts of windows (eg IE). This seems a better idea than these constant yes you can, no we can't... style arguments. The experts could even sign a non disclosure agreement.
Hate to result to paraphrasing RMS (maybe I need to get out more) but the developers won't literally starve! OK it will present a problem and they would have to find new jobs but they are skilled (allegedly) professionals and if they earn less in thier new job well that's the price we have to pay to rid the world of Microsoft. The universe would not end if Microsoft went bust and in time they may eventually do just that.
As for giving away all their money there is more chance of RMS getting a hair cut!
For reasons unknown to any living man since the dawn of time the debian installer has been the gates to the distro of the geek. It has protected us from the suits, script kiddies and those evil "home users" who legends say may even have regular sex. If these people bridge the gap between us and society the results could be disasterous, what if the world sees inside the geek safe-haven that is debian! KEEP THE NON GEEKS OUT!

I'm a man/mouse hybrid: I build my own kernel packages.
I dunno. Why are you not asking a similar question of Debian???
Because Debian has pre-built images and source packages for up to and including 2.6.5 and 2.4.26?
Even with first initial plus last name, that only gives me FIVE CHARACTERS. jryan@gmail.com lame.
You could always use: j.ryan@gmail.com

That your school is stupid of course. ;)
RH just used themes to make them look similar. The integration was no more than skin deep.
This is some serious copyright infringement, man. Ripping an article verbatim and posting it on another site.
/. nobody is actually going to read it.
Don't worry this is
Nice, except flash memory is just a start.
What I would really need is a combination pendrive, wi-fi, and bluetooth adaptor, and MP3/OGG player.
What you are looking for already exists, it's called Emacs.
Yes, he is hydrophobic
Stallman has rabies?

Well, does it?
Should this not be modded funny? Perhaps I am not enough of a nerd after all as this seems like a joke to me.
