Well, I could following the instructions for Linux From Scratch (if I wanted to) but that doesn't ensure security.
In my opinion, if works only if you are willing to personally audit all the code that you use for bugs/errors/security problems. At some point, you're trusting someone else.
Of all the Linux distributions out there, I think that I like Debian the best. I also really like the fact that they are more concerned with quality then being there with the newest toys on the block.
I am really beginning to believe that we will never get anywhere, at least as long as things continue like they are now. Just think of how long it's been since we reached the moon.
I suppose part of the problem is that there are people who simply cannot see the benefits to space travel and would rather spend money on social programs or defense spending.
I just voted and it was 60% against/40% for giving the 9 States access to the source code.
I was a little surprised by this but I shouldn't have been. There is a large group of non-technical people who still think that MS has done nothing wrong.
Of course, these people never tried to order a computer without Windows on it!
I work in a warehouse maintaining an inventory of surplus US Government Aircraft parts. To do this, we use MS DOS 6.22 and DBase 4.
It works like a charm and the machine never locks up. I recently installed an old menu program that lets me select tasks, such as defragging and backing up.
What's really funny is that now there are some people wanting to switch us to Windows and Access, both of which really give us nothing over our current setup!
Most people will not use an OS other than Windows, since comes preinstalled with their computer. I think that it is the above average computer user who seeks out an OS that didn't come with their computer.
I am getting my wife one of these for Valentine's Day. They are called the Erection Collection, and they feature stuff animals with huge, raging, hard-ons. They are around $20.00 each and I bought her Quickie The JackRabbit!
Your right, you course. MP3 isn't being worked on. But that isn't hurting MP3's popularity or usefulness.
It is also remarkable the improvements that is being made on the Lame encoder, especially the 3.91 release. So even without a single change in the MP3 format, it is getting better.

AOL-Time-Warner also produces a lot of music. Maybe what they really want is to hinder Ogg Vorbis, in fear that it would further encourage the illegal trading of copyrighted material.

NetBSD is under a BSD license. Taking it and putting it under the GPL is no worst then a corporation taking it and making it closed source.
The very first computer that I owned was the Powerbook 100. The PB100 was manufactured for Apple by Sony and it was essentially a shrunk down Mac Portable, which is why it can run System 6.
I bought it the first weekend in September, 1992. Apple was having a fire-sale, trying to unload them, and I got mine for $700.00. The unit came with 2MB of Ram, a 20MB hard drive, and an external floppy drive. The included system software was System 7.0.1, if memory serves. I later upgraded the computer to 8MB of RAM.
Although its 16Mhz 68000 was underpowered, it run Hypercard and Prince of Persia very well. It could also retain the contents of it's Ramdisk, which allowed me to boot from the Ramdisk if I chose to.

Even though they may have a case, I just don't like the fact that some major corporation can shut down your website based solely on their word.
In my opinion, this is something only a court should be able to order.
Be aware that Radeon equipped Cubes have a fan on the video card. I have one and it made more noise then I expected.
Wouldn't the FSB slow to 100Mhz if you installed PC100 RAM?

They probably could. After all, the Red Hat name is what they are actually selling.

Hopefully, this will be yet another way for Linux (and BSD) to gain further acceptance into the corporate world.
Who gives a fuck if you stick with Windows or not?
This guy is NOT excluding Windows users. He is excluding users whose piece of shit e-mail client can't conform to plain-english standards.
And I also think we need to stop concerning ourselves with people switching to Linux. Fuck em, either they use it or they don't.
Well, I know for a fact that FLAC also makes use of MD5 check-summing.
As I write this, this thread is sitting at 533 comments. Except for the trolls, what people have written here has been extremely useful to me.
Thanks to everyone.:)
Mod that up! HA HA HA!

It is indeed a nice codec. Binaries of Psytel's aacenc can be found, if you look hard enough.

Plus, it should be interesting how it turns out.
Yummy.
