If you'd bother to RTFA you'd know that the device in question is in fact a full-spectrum multi-wavelength high-energy data scrambler that will actually melt the circuits of any iPod/DS/GBA/PSP or Pacemaker within 100 meters. Can't wait to hear about the military applications.
"cybers" are a race in his book, and "riggers" are hyperspace pilots.
OK, you got me interested.
You don't see too many geeks parachuting.
One drop zone that I used to jump at was full of geeks. It was run by a geek. Skydiving is considered a high tech sport. Everyone should try it once. It is an adrenaline rush that last about 2-3 days.
Anyway, there was much disscusion there about operating systems, computers, etc.
If debian has 1 vulnerability per day
considering the fact that debian has 17,000+ packages
that would average 1 vulnerability per package every 46.5 years.
Most users only use a small subset of these packages.
Yes, debian has relatively low occurance of vulnerabilities
considering the volume of software involved.
Slashdot Mirror
The question is
does this new user really want to learn Linux
or do they just want to pick it apart and be irritating.

His equipment was not very portable though.
Buy one and point it at a thermometer.

O.K. so these aren't really lightsabers.
Nothing new to see here folks.
Move along.
Wouldn't that be necrophilia?

It's called "vapor-izing" the competition.

On another topic, I take it from your nick that you're a fan of Jeffrey Carver?
The "rigger" part is from my "hobby" as a sport parachute rigger.
I pack the secondary emergency chutes for skydivers.
Defeating it is usually as easy as adding more text.
Thanks here are a few more links.

The amount of profit/marketshare in selling Linux desktops is far outweighed by the cost of promoting them.
Make a small link on their homepage.
How much could that cost?
True, but none of these fall into the category of a "major computer manufacturer".
The thing to do there is to MAKE DELL'S COMPETITION a "major computer manufacturer".
That way you won't have to bother Dell.
My eyes... you probably want to set your posting method to "Plain Old Text".
Sorry, I realize that post was ugly
but Slashdot had some lame filter that said something like "too few words per line".
I had never seen that before.
There are plenty of other companies that sell Linux an no-OS machines. http://www.addonshop.com/ http://www.emperorlinux.com/ http://www.ibexpc.com/ http://www.koobox.com/ http://www.linare.com/ http://www.linspire.com/ http://www.linuxcertified.com/ http://www.linuxsyscorp.com/ http://www.microtelpc.com/ http://www.outpost.com/ http://shoprcubed.com/ http://www.sub300.com/ http://www.systemax.com/divisions.htm http://www.walmart.com/ http://tuxmobil.org/reseller.html http://www.us.debian.org/distrib/pre-installed http://www.linux.org/vendor/system/index.html http://tuxmobil.org/ (general information)
Where are the drivers to install XP on a PPC? Sparc? etc.
There are other choices. http://lp.org/

Don't get old and you will have good vision forever.
Make a distinction between USER data and SYSTEM data.
Linux does this with file ownership.
Your files are kept in your "home" directory.
END FILE EXTENSIONS
Linux doesn't "NEED" file extensions.
Linux file types can be determined by their "magic number".
Do not allow Applications to spread themselves across a hard drive, installing parts to a variety of locations and modifying other file
Take a look at how Debian Linux does it's software package management.
You could view a "Synaptic" entry as an object.
Linux already does much of what you are describing.
I'd love if there were a DRM system that worked invisibly and was effective at both stopping piracy as well as permitting fair usage.
.
I would love it better if there were no DRM systems
I get the feeling that this will limit fair use as well.
It's actually not bad.
I don't know if you would want ruin it with Coke though.
I recently showed Edubuntu to my 5 year old's school.
They were very interested.
Many of the games were like the Montessori method of teaching.
It's almost as efficent.
I wonder if it's related to a gar?
