That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the headline. How scary would it be to have that thing in front of you saying "drop your weapon, you have 10 seconds to comply."
A friend of mine had his car broken into a few years ago on the mean streets of Detroit and we did some brainstorming on how to best protect against such things... infrared sensors and steel spikes shooting out of the dashboard and the like... As far as I'm concerned, if you're breaking into someone else's property, you're tempting fate...:)
I know, until they accidently go off while you're driving or you're in front of a judge explaining why you've got torture devices in your car. That's pretty much why we didn't follow through.
Creating viruses and releasing them into the population seems like a really bad idea. If B-movies on sci-fi have taught me anything, it's that you can't contain nature like that.
Bear in mind that anyone can take his ball, make an identical copy of it, and do whatever you want with it.
And it looks like he's encouraging you to do that.
"But Linus, I want you to do everything for me the way I like it." Gee... tough shit. It's GPL'd code, do whatever you like. I don't think your argument makes any sense. It doesn't sound whiny or juvenile to me.
Now, I'm not claiming this this whole article isn't a troll, but anyone who thinks that W2k is "incredibly stable." Hasn't used much else. Incredibly stable in comparison to Win98, ok, but take a look at the competition.
I was bitten by that bug. I selected a different mouse, when it loaded the driver to test, the mouse didn't work. Instead of reverting back to it's previous state, the mouse continued to be screwed up no matter what I did... Until I rebooted and started over.
So did I... I ran into a few bugs. The nail in the coffin was when I installed the nvidia drivers and it broke xfree86. RedHat 8 has been working beautifully... I'm a member of the mandrake club and even preordered a DVD too... Oh well.
If you think computer engineering is even remotely similar to or as simple as MIS you're smoking crack. I'd like to see an MIS graduate design a microprocessor out of logic gates or explain a fourier transform.
Yes, you're right "angry toad." A lot of desktops look very similar with the kind of vibrant colors... I think that the blue, yellow and all that is pretty much a just a generic desktop theme because no one will look at it and think it's exceedingly strange looking.
Personally I prefer all white. I think the darker colors are pretty overused and don't look quite as good.
Well, Konqueror gives you the option of using the mozilla rendering engine with konqueror via kmozilla. I'm tried it out here in Redhat 8 and it works quite well. Windows' desktop manager is also integrated into the OS. KDE is not...

bah. I'd mod you funny if I had some mod points.... Further proves that you miss the truly funny posts unless you browse at -1.
Shit, dude. It's all about Nichole DeBoer. I've been in love with her since she was "Laura" on the Kids in the Hall.
Isn't great that all you have to do is mention the Simpsons and you get modded up to "+bazillion funny"

You better not, that would really piss me off!
That's not an "age old question"
That's hilarious
I think that was digital cameras. I'm too lazy to do a search, but it's possible to play doom on your Kodak DCwhatever_it_is

No, I ran 2.x and 3.x and they ran fine.
KDE ran fine on my 366MHz PII laptop w/128 megs of ram and a neomagic video card. You're smoking crack.
Define "64-bit" for a personal computer.
Are you simple? It's one thing to say "What do I need this for." It's another thing to try and claim that your 32 bit computer is 64 bit.

I thought it looked kinda ugly and boxy. My Sony Vaio PCG-R505ECK is sexier.
Is that dumpy looking penguin really that cool or do we just like Linux. I always thought the BSD demon was cool... Tux on the other hand...
Lead is really heavy... Maybe? Do you know how many N*Sync members you could get in space instead of a couple of sheets of lead?
Not sure what it does, ... Seems ripe for a linux port!"
You don't know what you're even talking about, do you? I bet this was submitted by a slashdot story bot.

As long as you're installing freetype2, you can make sure to fix the bytecode interpreting
...The difference on RedHat8

What university did you go to?
Wow. Excellent detective work. Don't try to put one over on the slashdot crowd

Microsoft kinda offered you less choice.
