I'm pretty interested in the stability of this release: FC2 was one of the worst, even with all yum updates. Okay, it works okay for desktop usage (I still use it), but as server or as workstation it crashes a bit too much.
I really-really hope that we can get stability back from version 7.2-7.3 which were still the best 'red hat' releases when it comes to stability.
If you want to install Gentoo for the first time, you can download a bunch of precompiled packages and complete an installation in a few hours or so, probably less.
I hope they fixed the problem with the AMD64 release where some packages were missing on the package-cd: I tried to do a network-less install, but in the end I needed internet-connectivity after all.
I installed the Ati card drivers on Fedora Core 2 two days ago (using an original 2.6.8 kernel). Although I already had the extra kernel patch downloaded, after installing ATI's rpm and running fglxconfig it just... Ran! (without using a patch).
At work on another machine, the xinerama mode also does work quite well (there I had to use the patch, probably older kernel), the only thing that doesn't work, is getting a dual-head set-up without xinerama (with display:0.0 and:0.1).
Correction: Building a space station for 7-9 persons where 2 of them are required to operate the station itself, and the other assigned to do research, and then cutting the persons on board down to 2 is a waste of money...
MS gets paid whether you are using Outlook or not -- in fact they get paid more because Unix cilents aren't using a free IMAP server or something.
...But they get paid less because my company does not have to buy a windows/outlook license for me to run MS-Outlook on my computer in a vmware virtual PC environment...
According to the article, the following plan will opportunity follow:
Make a round on the edge of the Endurance Crater to make measurements and see how steep the crater is.
If (with little risk) opportunity can drive in it and back out, it will do so before doing the following points, otherwise, do the following points first before moving into Endurance.
Examine the area around the heatshield, to check both the heatshield useful for future missions and to look in the deep hole the heatshield made into mars.
Examine some other place it passed before (but then did not have enough time) to check the composition of a rock that is different than others.
It gets even better, of the two remaining functioning gyroscopes, one had already some problems, according to this article:
In 2002, one of the gyroscopes failed outright. Another gyroscope developed a vibration last year that perplexed mission controllers enough to rely on the Russian-built motion control system, which uses jets to change the station's position, for major orbital maneuvers. That gyroscope, however, is now in working order and one of the two still functioning aboard the ISS.
Those guys up there have families and what-not that gotta be pretty on-edge right now. I for one hope they pull through.
You're right, it must be really scary: you're flying with your star ship light years away from home, and suddenly, you bumb onto a space station floating around a planet filled with billion of aliens, in war with a species called "The Terrorism".
You're absolutely right, here in Holland a politician already said that the record industry proved time on time that if you gives the means to protect their copyright they will try to stretch that means.
The same politician also said they don't want situations like in the USA where they prosecute a 12-year old.
Although the story title suggests otherwise, the thing passed is a directive and not a law: Member states are encouraged to implement this guideline, and they can do this with modifications, according to This (Dutch) article.
This same article says that no action may be taken against consumers who act in "good faith" and download music. Of course, we must see how this works out...
Making legislation to protect copyright rights is okay for me, making legislation to limit the use of legally licensed (equals bought) copyrighted material is what's really wrong.

Even if that code would be open sourced, there is another problem: the maps!.
The maps TomTom uses come from TeleAtlas and are definitely not free.

Maybe the website of Kazaa lite is down, but the Kazaa lite program can still be run and works.

Will they do that for Duke-Nukem Forever also?

I thought the article was one of those crypto-quotes from the newspaper.
The scary thing was that I didn't notice because I actually understood most of the abbrevs. Did I now pass my slashdot-exam?
