How can you guys be worrying about a stupid cellphone gadget at a time like this? The world is at war. People are getting killed everyday. Suicide bombers blew up a bus in Isreal today. Terrorists are trying to gain weapons of mass destruction that will kill millions of people.
And all you people can do is talk about this crap and tell lame star trek jokes?
If the main reason you need a journalled filesystem is because you hit the reset button too much, you have problems. You shouldn't even be allowed to use a computer. I once knew a retard like you who kept hitting reset button and the only way he could get avoid it was by placing scotch tape over it.

Luckily, most people are not vulnerable to attack due to the fact that their systems have been down now for several days due to filesystem corruption in the kernel.
Linux is written by a bunch of elitist developers who refuse to debug and test their code. Their idea of quality control is releasing software first, then seeing if people who use it have any problems. This "my shit don't stink" elitist attitude will be the fall of Linux.
There's more than just Windows and Linux out there, bucko. You're talking about Linux, right?
You're right - I apologize. I was indeed referring to the Linux kernel, and the recent rash of security holes and other major bugs it hosted.
Well...at least the Linux crowd doesn't attempt to hide or stifle major bugs in their OS.:-)
People should not try to stifle major bugs in their OS. Enter Alan Cox. He recently refused to divulge the details of an important security hole in the linux kernel.
In regards to the mass migration from unix to Microsoft, I am referring mostly to my own personal experience. They company I worked for recently migrated from unix to MS, and the majority of people I know in the IT industry tell me similar stories. In addition, in regards to webservers, netcraft.com says:
"Microsoft-IIS gained more sites than it lost, with around 148,000 sites switching to the server over the last month, including blackbox.com, pga.com, Raytheon, and Johns Manville."
I'm just saying, maybe the KDE developers see these trends and are just preparing for the inevitable?
While trying to post this article, slashdot's database was down yet again. I had to go play a game of wolfenstein and come back before it was working. These failures continue to occur on a daily basis. Is it Linux, MySQL, or is slashdot just very poorly managed? Though, I suppose that's another issue for another day.
Your answer doesn't make sense to me. From the KDE website
General Overview
KDE is a network transparent contemporary desktop environment for UNIX workstations. KDE seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for Unix workstations, similar to the desktop environments found under the MacOS or Window95/NT. We believe that the UNIX operating system is the best operating system available today. In fact UNIX has been the undisputed choice of the information technology professional for many years. When it comes to stability, scalability and openness there is no competition to UNIX. However, the lack of an easy to use contemporary desktop environment for UNIX has prevented UNIX from finding its way onto the desktops of the typical computer user in offices and homes. UNIX dominates the server market and is the preferred computing platform for computing professional and scientists. Without UNIX the internet would not be. But UNIX did not address the needs of the average computer user. This fact is particularly unfortunate since a number of implementations of UNIX (Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD etc.) are freely available on the internet. All of which are of exceptional quality and stability.
KDE The Desktop Environment
With KDE there is now an easy to use contemporary desktop environment available for UNIX. Together with a free implementation of UNIX such as Linux, UNIX/KDE constitutes a completely free and open computing platform available to anyone free of charge including its source code for anyone to modify. While there will always be room for improvement we believe to have delivered a viable alternative to some of the more commonly found and commercial operating systems/desktops combinations available today. It is our hope that the combination UNIX/KDE will finally bring the same open, reliable, stable and monopoly free computing to the average computer user that scientist and computing professionals world-wide have enjoyed for years.
Doesn't this port go against the ethics and goal of the project? Isn't it porting software to a less stable operating system? Contributing to a monopoly?
Maybe due to all the recent flaws in the kernel and the mass migration from Unix to Windows 2000/XP, the developers are realizing that windows is a better operating system.
Can you give me some examples of applications that you would want to port that windows doesn't have better versions of? I can't think of any at the moment.
What's the point? Why run KDE? Windows is more professional, easier on the eyes, and more stable despite the Linux propeganda.
Windows doesn't have major problems with data corruption. Only an operating system that was written by a bunch of amatures, not tested or debugged would have this.. oh wait.
Agreed. Turning off javascript gets rid of most of the annoying popops and stuff. You can use mozilla to read newsgroups too - but it's missing one really important feature for usenet porn: the ability to "combine and decode". This make it difficult to grab movies from the multimedia groups.The work around is to highlight all the messages, then copy to a local folder (usually Trash), then cd into the.mozilla/foo/Mail/Local Folders/ directory and uudecode trash; rm trash.
Outlook express has the combine and decode feature . It's sweet. It allows me to more quickly look at my donkey porn.
Right. If they're not American, fuck them. This includes Mexicans, Canadians, and especially Afghans. The majority of "innocent" Afghans are really just terrorists in training. The life of 1000 dirty Afghans does not even compare to the life of one American. What will the stupid Afghans ever contribute to society? Nothing. They're too busy throwing dung at eachother.
Canadians are almost just as bad. Nothing good has ever come from this piece of shit country either. The majority of Canadians are French speaking FUCKS who _real_ French people would spit on and beat down if given the chance. In my experience, Canadians are pompous, arrogant pussies. They have no guns because they're usually too busy engaging in homosexual orgies. And to top it off, Canadian women are ugly as hell, with distorted faces, crooked teeth (because they have no dentists or health care in Canada) and small teets.
If microsoft really wanted to hurt linux, the best thing they could do is accept this deal. Then supply hardware that linux can't run on. This would make redhat look really bad and be a major victory for microsoft.
What rights? I DON"T KNOW. PLEASE HELP ME!
Thank you. wizz. wizz.
In conclusion, I believe the death of BSD is directly to blame for this. mustard coated JonKatz. FUNKY FUNKY SGI
Yes, I agree. 0.9.5 introduced a few more bugs, but I continue to download every release and test it for bugs. I don't have the time to contribute toward the development, but the least one can do is report detailed bug reports everytime it crashes.
IMO, mozilla is the best browser for linux. I wish it had a few more features, like the ability to disable javascript per site (like konqueror can do). I don't think it has surpassed IE. Also, mozilla uses entirely too much memory, which can make it impractical to keep open for doing research while staroffice and gnome are running.
He has to use something else. Linux doesn't come with what he wants because most linux distros don't care about compatibility with HPUX.
Here are a few possible solutions to the problem:
1) See if ash works with the script
2) Install bash on the HPUX systems
3) Write it in another shell the systems have
in common
4) Rewrite it in perl or python
5) Write a simple shell script (that of course
would work on both sh and bash) called
checkos.sh which determines the operating
system,then calls the appropriate script for
that system.
Not really - Carmack didn't make the page. He released the information in his.plan. Then the hordes of carmack worshippers who finger him every few minutes created the web page.
My original point is that finger is hardly in use anymore, and they should think about directly releasing the information either on a web site or in an email to a mailing list that's archived somewhere.
While we're at it, let's rid the planet of other obsolete technologies: gopher, archie, telnet, etc.
No, I use unix exclusively (Linux and Solaris). The operating system I use doesn't really have anything to do with it though. Finger is nearly dead - disabled by almost everyone.
Blah blah blah. If you can't stand it any longer, do something about. Lobby the government, run for president, organize a protest, start a revolution, whatever.

Get a fucking life. There is more to life than Linux and star trek. Only on slashdot would a post that stupid get modded up.
I can't believe people on slashdot are so lame.

Down with Linus and all swedish people!
ReplayTV is not based on Linux, I believe it is based on it's own proprietary operating system. However, additional drives can be added to the system. You can find information on how to do at http://rtvpatch.sourceforge.net/linux_single_drive _upgrade.html

Very good point. Yes, there are much greater wastes of our tax money, like the missile defense system.

Actually, charmed is one of my favorite shows. I do watch it every week! :-)
Several of my friends wiccan, so I tend to learn things like this.
Why the use of .plan? I don't understand - nobody has used finger since 1980.
Put it on a website like everybody else.
That JonKatz didn't review this movie. It would have been extremely biased due to his affinity of little boys.
A witch can be either male or female, anyone who practices white magic. Warlock usually refers to those who practice black magick.
Blah blah blah. If you can't stand it any longer, do something about. Lobby the government, run for president, organize a protest, start a revolution, whatever.
Whining on slashdot isn't going to help
