How about FreeCache, from the Internet Archive folks? They have a good presentation about how it differs from BitTorrent and it addresses the ad hoc-ness of BT.
Sorry, that phrase is so vague and overabused that it just raises my hackles. It's a cheap way of implying that those "interests" are those of a minority which seeks privileges beyond what's "fair." Though this may be true in this case, I hear it too often applied to "interests" such as gay rights, women's rights, etc, which seek only equal treatment.
I mean, one could say that the Open Source movement is a "special interest," as well, based on an inferred definition of the phrase from common usage.
Cool! My mum used Hero pens when she was working as a schoolteacher (in Malaysia): red for marking, blue for everything else (Quink ink by Parker). Currently, I like gel ink pens (Pilot G2), but only because I tend to lose pens/pencils and don't want to lose a nice fountain pen.
Hmm. I own 2 Casios that do bin/dec/hex conversions and Boolean operations. One even has functions (trig, sqrt, etc) that take complex numbers for their argument. Sorry, no graphing, and only algebraic notation. Both are now-out-of-production models that I bought c.1988 for high school and as I was going to college.
Meh. You probably like programming in Assembler and/or Forth. Since when is making your mind think like a stack (i.e. different from your notation) convenient and easy? I mean, do you type from right to left (in English)? Use whatever you're comfortable with and/or more importantly, make less mistakes with.
I use nmh with exmh as a GUI. It does all the above: sort by most recent, symbolic links to multiple directories, etc. The O'Reilly book is now freely (beer) available on the Web.
Nah, I still like my tcsh for interactive use, and (some flavour of) sh for scripting, mostly because I've been using tcsh since 1990. Anyway, it's somewhat annoying, but not any more so than having to use more than one (programming) language. But, yes, (t)csh scripting blows. As for bash having a large footprint, I find ksh or sh works just dandy. But then, I still use sed/grep/awk rather than perl.:)
Now although all my senators and house members are owned by corporations, the justice system will find in favor of crusaders like me and Eric Scott Raymond.
Um, not necessarily, I'm afraid. Witness the DeCSS judgement.
Unfortunate, past a certain stage, you don't bounce: if the current causes your muscles to contract and clamp on to a conductor. A couple of years ago, an electrician at UMich.edu was working on a 480V (440V?) circuit that's standard in the new physics building. He went against protocol by working alone: protocol required he have a partner. He died.
Basically, don't fsck with the stuff unless you know what you're doing.
Yeah: what he said. It'd be a hell of an auto-LART.
Now, if only some kind researchers could get us all out of wearing pants at the office, we'd be set!
But, but... isn't the extra pressure from blood pooling in the, erm... lower... regions... desirable? After all, 2 billion spam messages can't be wrong.
I'm a physics grad student. I run Emacs on my PowerBook. I run XFree86, do my C, Tcl, etc, coding, I use LaTeX, via the teTeX package, use gnuplot to plot pretty pictures..... How? Check out the Fink project.
However, almost all presentations that I see at conferences, meetings and seminars are now done using PowerPoint (or Keynote for the OS X users) -- most professor/researcher-types use Windows on their laptops and may dual-boot to Linux. Why? Because it's easy, and most schools have a license for staff to use the software without them having to pay full price for it. Here at my institution, it's $15 for staff, $42 for students.

Well, it's Li-nux, and that's the way it is!

Um, no. The roads->buses change destroys the roads:congestion :: belts:obesity analogy. Roads accomodate traffic, belts 'accomodate' waist size.
I suggest you go look back at your SAT prep books.
Therefore, it's better to use a tool that's 90% right, if it'll be there forever, as opposed to a tool that's 100%, but might be gone tomorrow.
Yeah. That's why I wear only my non-running analog wristwatch. It's absolutely right twice a day, and it will always be that way.
All your car are belong to us.
You can also make your GF a profile that allows all cookies... She doesn't have to use your settings.
I would have liked to see Diebold, makers of e-voting machines, on the list of options. They're weaselly in an area that's much more significant.
You mean, my interests are not special? :(

Well, you get what you pay for... $0 for iTunes, $40 for MediaCenter.
to write a robust, secure, scalable app in it you have to know what you are doing!
Is that not true for all languages?
Or irony.
Heh. Yeah, he is mad. See this: http://www.diepunyhumans.com/archives/006506.html

And Mac OS X just gets out of the way, letting you do what you wanted to do...
You mean, Windows is what has been preventing me from having anal sex with my girlfriend?!?
