This kind of thing won't appeal to real professional musicians as there is absolutely no professional grade multitrack recorders / sequencers available on Linux - not even ONE. And dont suggest SLAB/whatever - they just dont cut it. It's a start I agree, but you're not going to get the user base over until there is a decent killer application that can compete with ProTools or Logic.
Having recently bought Logic Audio myself, I am quite happy with Windows 2000 as a platform. It's not linux but its perfectly stable and allows me to get decent latencies via my card's ASIO drivers.
Unlike others, I'm interested in music, not politics...
Thats a busman's holiday if there ever was one! In the UK, the only acceptable place to buy furniture is Ikea (or so I've been told) and they run redshat:-
* alan walks into ikea. [alan] "ooh a vt420" [alan] "ooh a redhat box" * alan admires his work smugly. * alan leaves ikea with cheap flat pack furniture that will break during assembly.
err no it doesnt. The activex component that is vulnerable DOESNT come in XP, not with the messenger 4.6 upgrade. I just spent half the fucking afternoon with depends working that out.
Now please dont mod me down as a troll on this, but this is my personal experience and some facts:-
Windows XP isn't vulnerable to this.
I run windows XP, I run messenger, XP runs my personal web site, I haven't been infected with Code Red, attacked, trojaned, cracked nor got an email virus. I havent with any MS OS in the last 5 years (I got a virus before that).
PARANOIA is the problem here. Dealing with the holes in a logical manor and keeping your machines patched up will stop nearly all of the potential problems you think you are going to have. There are mechanisms there to sort it out and protect you.
Windows has mistakes in code, as does OpenBSD, as does Linux, as does Solaris. Fill in bug reports, keep patched up (run windows update/download countless RPMs/apply source patches etc). Its the same, and ITS YOUR CHOICE.
As a side note, I run OpenBSD too and its a hell of a lot more work keeping that patched than windows.
Now please slashdot, can we have some unbiased reporting for a change? IS that possible?
Not being a physicist / whatever, can someone explain why finding these particles is so interesting and/or important?
I can understand that the particles changing on way to earth is a theory proved, but what use is a theory if it has no application? I can't see an application in that story...

Wasnt it Oracle who said :- "Oracle9i. Unbreakable. Can't break it. Can't break in."

Then several days later someone broke it (see article).
This is a very poor publicity stunt where they know they cannot live up to their claims. They are just trying to make a stance against UnitedLinux.

i agree. Theres always MFI here (which make even worse shit!).
:P

I bought my desk in Ikea. It didn't like 2 Sun 21" Trinitrons on it one little bit. I had to strengthen the middle with Dexion industrial shelving
btw try a Ratpad (or ratpadz) for a mouse surface. Very good - even for us non gamers
