Actually, last I checked, it was pretty insecure. There was a really popular DoS attack a little while ago that affected all AIM clients (even the Linux ones with semi-crippled functionality). And have you ever heard of punters?
Can somebody please explain to me the thrill of buying a system that just came out? It seems like it would be the same thrill as buying a car that hasn't had its crash dummy tests. I personally am on the lookout for a Dreamcast. A savvy consumer can buy the DC and about 6--7 games for it, and an extra controller for about $150.. And maybe I'm blind, but I can't even tell the difference in graphics.
So I'll let you 1337 gamers spend $300 on your new systems and I'll scoop em 'up in a couple years when you're selling 'em for $50 and buying the next Tomagotchi.
Tabbed browsing is a big fucking deal you idiot. It's extremely convenient to minimize ALL your windows at once rather than go through each one and minimize it.
JS/Cookie/Image management per site? Do you HAVE a life? Do you just surf the web all day, setting up your own personal settings for each site you go to?
God damn customization.
Oooh... Favicon's... be still by developer's heart... BLOAT... I'm imagining it alright. Imagining it making my favorties look like a spastic list of crap
Kinda agree with you there. But at least Mozilla doesn't strong-arm you into any format.
Fast render engine? Says who? Oh, you mean after the 6hrs it took you to compile it? Again, this relies on good designers, NOT the browsers.
I've never compiled Mozilla. It's available for download as a binary. Same with Opera. And Konqueror. And I say it's a fast render engine because I've seen both IE and other browsers rendering pages.
You don't need the * there. That's what the recursion in -r takes care of. But then again why the hell would I be reading mail as root (the only account on which running this script would actually do anything).
Download the live version of the song, and it actually says "How about the power to move you since you've all been raised as robots since you were 14, but no, nobody knows it, because it's a conspiracy. You're all fuckin robots!"
He also says "How about the power to move shit around... with your fuckin mind? That's telekinesis, kyle."
Tenacious D still kicks ass no matter how you quote 'em.
You still have to have the libraries in windows, you stupid troll. It's just that they don't come with Linux and you have the choice of downloading them, rather than coming with windows, and having them take up your hard drive space when you're not even using them.
Or you could just download the static binary.
Before I start this post, let me just say that I hate Microsoft as much as the next Slashdotter. I have an extreme distaste for their 'friendly GUI' and monopolistic business practices. But I think the Red Hat proposal is hypocritical and brings into action the exact same thing it is trying to stop.
Let's say Red Hat wins and we have a bunch of computers installed with Red Hat. We are attempting to breed children on linux. But why is this better than breeding children on Windows? Because a bunch of people that like linux and that own companies related to it said so. By doing this, we would only be starting a new monopoly, rather than defeating the one in place and promoting choice amongst people that use computers.
As for a better proposal: I think Microsoft should be forced to pay for several different kinds of computers in schools. Give these schools not only Red Hat Linux, but MacOS, and Windows even, but let the children choose, because in the end, that is what we are trying to protect. Make Microsoft pay for EVERYTHING and the suit will have screwed them a fair amount too.
I very much dislike Microsoft. But I don't want to fight fire with fire, and I think anybody that does so will get burned.
Just my two cents.
Last I recall, there was an article on Slashdot where Linus described what he wanted in the 2.5 kernel. Some karma whore can post it, but I believe one of the goals was to eliminate human configuration, thus eliminating human error.
But I could be wrong.
Because he's never seen Mac OS you douche bag. (is there a space?). While I don't put down Mac OS, it's not very popular in most computer circles. He probably thinks it's inferior to Windows because his 1337-windows user friend thinks it's too user-friendly.
Can somebody please explain what it meant when the HURD coder said something about having wine, but not other non-prescribed drugs. I think it would probably be helpful to a number of people.
Gameworks has a version of Tekken (I think) here in Florida that works on this system. There's no helmet, and the responsiveness really sucks. I'ts really not worth it until we get more precise motion detection technology.You can click
here and find absolutely no useful information about the company.
I really agree with this guy. Right now I am a teenager in high school and we are in dire need of computer teachers (ones that know what they are talking about). In my class, I know more than my teacher, who said that HDRAM was the best type of RAM available and thinks that all engineering is done on RISC processors.
If it weren't for my indulgence in the free software world, I probably would've never known that there was an OS other than Windows or Mac OS, simply because people like this teacher (ignorant) choose simply to teach only MS Office and pals. I doubt seriously that he even knows of the existence (sp?) of OpenOffice, SunOffice, or LyX
I hope (for your sake) that you stay interested in computer science. I know I haven't lost interest yet.:)
Slashdot Mirror
link about AOL/TW lawsuit on a site owned by AOL/TW? Subtle.
I will personally kill the next person who posts some stupid "CS? You mean counterstrike?" and then I will kill the person that laughs at it.
Maybe I'll make the move from linux to an OS with even LESS supported software. :)
I have no authority on the matter, but it looks like a pretty cool OS.

I don't think I could sleep well tonight if i didn't mention the links that pissed Ford off so much that 2600 is now in a lawsuit (big news).
/. 2600
They registered fuckgeneralmotors.com which contains nothing but a single link to ford.com. You can find information about 2600's crusade here.
Just try to

It looks like Hardware Exterme's hardware wasn't extreme enough to handle slashdotting. Anybody got a mirror?
Silly offtopic poster, Gamecubes are for kids.
