I've tried 3.0 on a laptop. And I can tell you, it's no Slack 8.1. The installer sucks in comparison, and really needs to be dry-run about five times before you know what to do.
Plus, forget about doing dselect. Use aptitude instead. It's the closest to Slack's pkgselect (even though I wish Slack had dependency tracking).
Also, there's a limit on software unless you want to compile it. With "xv", you have to compile it, and it looks complicated enough.
I can see where it's useful (including Xfree on a Sharp Zaurus), but it still dependent on some screen definitions if your screen isn't quite standard.
I mean, my laptop gets 800x600x8 bit, because it has 1 meg of vid-RAM. I can't go 16-bit... unless I shrink it down to 800x592.
MrSID format is fairly intelligent. I had the pleasure of working with some Perl code which impliments the UI, and calls a compiled program to shove out the.GIF. Ported a good chunk to PHP, streamlined it a bit, and did some overlay magic on it.

To which I ask:
WHAT IS YOUR DEVELOPMENT COSTS?!? And can't you dual-licence?
The licence you use is not related to the patent you put out on it. Put out a patent for it, and release the code for personal and non-profit uses for free. Charge up to the wazoo for commercial usage.

They're advertizing $50-$100 off a new phone if you trade in an old one.
Unix has always been helpful with the invention of the Internet as well as it's implimentation, from the first versions from AT&T all the way to Linux, all the BSDs, and more. With the continuing work, will further technologies be enhanced now that we have the free/open sourced Unix implementations? As is, I belive we have a working IP6 stack in Linux.
Alot of the HP printers, both inkjet and lazer, have very good support from HP themselves. Since Ghostscript came out with a plugin interface for printer drivers (instead of patch and recompile), installing the drivers is eazy no matter what LPD/LPRng/CUPS/etc you use.
If more people would be put in Abuse desk positons, trained and given the ability to shut down spammers, and then reply back with some true humor......then everyone wouldn't be complaining about how bad spam is getting and how all we're getting is responces from Dave Null.
Hello, Madam Ian. I'd like to point your attention to Scott McCloud's essays named "I Can't Stop Thinking!", especially #5 and #6, the Coins of the Realm. After reading those two, and the claim that 15 cents per song would be apropriate for the artist directly, what would your reaction and responce be?
They're speeding up evolution via a cell simulator. How long will it be before we get true AI by teaching a virtual human that was just freshly evolved?:)
Isn't there a clause in patent law that allows for independent discovery? If one person, unrelated to any patent, recreates the patented item without any outside aid, shouldn't that be excused?
First, there was TOS......and then the TOS movies......which begat TNG, and died gracefully in a few years......which begat DS9 while it was running, and a few movies they're still working on. It died quietly and under unknown circumstances......which begat Voyager on it's dying breaths. It too died quietly, and under unknown circumstances.
Then out of the blue, we have Enterprize. From what I've seen, it's on life support.
Obvious complete solution: Don't wipe, wash.

Toilet Paper Algorithms

The Japaneze have built several toilets which, when you're done answering nature's call, you reach on one side of the bowl where controls are. There you can clean your butt by having warm watter sprayed around the exit area, maybe some soap, rinse, and then blow dry.
Turns out that DMA support for 16-bit PCMCIA cards is nonexistant (although it would be useful in this case). There's two things that can be done to support it:
1. Put in DMA support. 2. Create a new DMA-less sound card which you just "shout" or "print" the sound to, a la Parallel port sound cards.
As I said before, I love to program up PCMCIA Sound and be the first one on the block.:) Besides, alot of glue has already been written with the PCMCIA-CS project.

Not standard, yes?
or are we going to start getting The Onion inspired subject titles?

Hell, all you need is a 1U or so, and you get the same power. Just put in a fan in the case and you're good to go.

Wrong bug. It compiled, but folks need to do a "make dep" after an "make oldconfig"
