If you really want to make sure that you can view your videos down the road, you should just keep whatever hardware and software you watch it with now. It may be obsolete, but there's no reason it shouldn't work then just as well as it does now...
The idea behind the whole GNU project was to make a completely free operating system. Free as in speech. What they've done is taken (well, tried to take) Linux/GNU and made it into something it shouldn't be: a Windows clone. We have all seen the bugs Windows and it's programs have, why would we want those on an otherwise secure system. I don't think it's a bad idea to be able to emulate windows programs, but we shouldn't make a distribution of linux with the sole purpose of doing it... do ya see what I mean?
but get her a vibrating pen. I'm going to college too, maybe I'll meet her there. Does she like the computer geek type? Maybe I can deliver that vibrating pen for her;-)
Someone may have already pointed this out, but C++ variables are usually cryptic, as are C variables. It's just kinda the nature of the language. Comments shouldn't be cryptic, though.
I can figure out what the answers to 1, 2 and 4 should be, but what should the answer to 3 be? Is funding from large corporations good or bad as I can see how it'd be both.
Hmm... I'd agree completely. My school (High School, I'm not quite at college yet) let my friends and I administer a Linux box with a MOO running on it on their network. The network admin didn't really like this much when he finally found out, and we came back the next day to find that our box wasn't responding - it had been unplugged. We tried to explain the benefit to our education this had been, but the people who listened couldn't do anything. Needless to say, we did it again, but behind their backs.
I think that if my college did this to me, I would take revenge. Nothing bad, but you could get a lot of your friends and fellow students pretty pissed at the administration if you tried, and this would get them to change their minds quickly. The turn of our "Institutions of Learning" into "Institutions of Money-Making" just makes this season's 2600 magazine cover all the more fitting...
Well, I see your point about how annoying it is when cordless phone batteries die, and I agree completely. What I don't understand is why you would wait 8 hours to call someone back because your battery dies. Don't you have any phones with cords that plug into the base? Just use one of those when your cordless dies.
Why don't you hook the computer up to that big amp and those big speakers, set it to the correct time, and have cron run `mpg123` or `play` at the correct times. You could then have it play, out of the speakers, what shift was over or beginning, what time of the day it was, and so on. This would be very simple to setup and cost the price of the computer (which could be an old 486), the price of the amp and speakers and electricity.
If it was connected to the internet, you could even have cron make sure the time was correct to some atomic clock every now and then.
Am I missing something? The page says it's this file system that will work regardless of the underlying operating system, and yet, one of the "system requirements" is a certain operating system, nevermind WHAT operating system...
I'm sitting here looking at a key for windows XP Pro that lets you skip past the product authentication step. It starts with FC... It really works, my friend tried. I'm too busy having fun with linux to care.
Where can I find that! I live in OP and I get 256 k down, 128 up (or something like that). I use time warner road runner and pay just about that same price.
Why don't we just take away all our freedoms while we're at it? That whole free speech thing was overrated anyway. Talking at all should be illegal.
Why should people be allowed to own guns anyway? I think (and I'm being serious now) the original reason the founding fathers put that whole guns thing in the constitution is because if our government becomes corrupt, we need to be able to overthrow it, and you can't overthrow a corrupt government without guns. It seems to me that even if our government won't turn into that for a long time (if at all), that's a damn good reason to be allowed to have a gun.

Dell and Gateway are more like Ford cars. They'll work for a while, but everyone's screwed when the tires explode ;-)
to put something Microsoft hates on their own systems. Sony doesn't have any reason to hate open source tools, and is therefore cooperative.

why can't I? We make it legal for some to do, but not for others. Like celebrities getting away with murder...

I thought this was funny. I'm sure the rest of us Counter Strikers will too...

non-beowulf cluster of those.
Haha...
ok, not funny I guess.
these kids will be able to get an education. Just hope they don't come to slashdot for it ;-)
don't use microsoft on an otherwise stable, secure system.
Also, this site has some information on the software suggested: xzgv.
Hopefully you will find this useful.
I like the t-rex picture's caption: "Gamma Ray Burst Of Doom"!!!!! It sounds like a cheesy B movie.

Shouldn't it be operating system independent?
Hrm, I guess that explains my experience with windows ;-)

Day of defeat is pretty cool.

Sorry bout all the badly placed apostrophes.
