Confirmed! I saw a beta test of this product. It was used during the filming of Independence Day.
Interesting. That means that this miracle software was written in Pascal (watch the movie closely). I always knew there was a darn good reason not to move CS 101 students to C. There it is.
I wish I have a nickel for everytime one of my friends calls with a computer problem, and when I ask what operating system they have its always one of the following:
1) Office 97 2) Office 98 3) Windows 97 (and they will refuse to be corrected)
23 in 56 can locate the Pacific Ocean? Seems a little high, to me.
yup bush(usa) needs his money for something else... world dominance... he want nasa to develop all kind of new weapons...
If I were president, I would never trust NASA to make my world-domination-super-weapons. After thirty years and one-hundred-billion dollars, they'd give me a pop-cork gun than explodes and kills everyone in five feet of it.
The Ansari-X-Prize contest demonstrates clearly that it's time for the US to outsource our world-domination weapons engineering to commercial corporations.
Initial test cases with the RIAA, MPAA, and BSA are doing quite well in this area.
Darl is just salivating at the opportunity to buy out whoever patented the internal combustion engine.
Next year at SCOForum, they'll announce their name change to that of the patent holder (Inc., of course) with the new tag-line, "Powering your cars for almost 200 years."
Then the lawsuits begin. First up? Well, Autozone and Daimler-Chrysler, of course!
As a life-long practicing Christian, active in my local church, with many practicing Christian friends, I just can not in good conscience use an operating system that uses an image of Satan as its mascot.
Context is everything. The BSD "daemon" is in no way supposed to lead people in worship or in any other way lead people to violate commandment #1. In fact, as an open source project, I feel that projects such as FreeBSD and Linux best represent the kind of software development the Acts early church of the Apostles would do: communal. Honsetly, it is not menat the celebrate satan or represent some sort of mystic iconography.
Microsoft, on the other hand (which you currently use in favor of BSD), is a perfect example of immoral greed (if you mods disagree; fine. I'm just calling it how it looks from here), which I find much more morally reprehensible than a cartoon devil; because unlike the cartoon, it is real.
So, as a recent convert to Christianity, I find a great moral symbol in the fact that I run 100% open source at home, as opposed to corporate mammon.
Is there anyway to tell who is providing the price support?
It's my understanding (from reading the Yahoo! Finance boards, at least) that it's institutions holding the bag right now, such as Royce. For these guys, the difference between $4 and $0 is negligible in light of the fact that they bought at $12-$20 (IOW, they've already lost, and have not much mroe to lose). They'll ride it into the ground on the slimmest chance it'll turn a profit.
Other than that, it's all shorts.
Heck, a lot of the institutions are shorting also, I'll bet.
I had not noticed the stock spike. That's bad news; they seem to be able to claw their way out of any hole. Fortunately, they didn't break $5, and that's a significant morale defeat for any bagholders. It's also a sign that investors are not hopeful.
It's a blatant attempt to prepare for reopening the BSD settlement. Just before their IBM/Novel souts fold, they will announce ownership of BSD and all BSD-related code (TCP/IP stack, anyone?).
Won't matter, though; stock has lost its $5 support, and it's only a matter of time before the shutters close on them.

Steve, I saw you through my blinds typing this comment. Steve, I pay you $6.50 an hour to work, not post on Slashdot.
Get back to work. You've still got that 4:30 deadline to meet.
PS: I'm out of the office for the rest of the day to go golfing with your wife.
I'm under the impression I would compress. Might be messy, though.
Seriously, if you don't give me a deadline of tomorrow, it doesn't get done. Period. (Why am I employed? I don't get it.)
Not work safe. Absolutely disgusting.
In most other countries, those who get more votes, actually win the election...
A true testament that US foreign intervention works!
Fa la!
A desert covered in hordes hamster wheels, all providing power to the Western U.S.
We can hire Mexican immigrants to change the wood shavings!
Open Source IE. That's what they should do.
They can keep it. With friends like IE, who needs enemies? It's a big "STEAL MY COMPUTER" sign on your back.

I wanna know if I can tell the diff between it and my RGB CRT.
Well, it's just another result of how the GUI has dumbed down tech culture. Now not even the *crackers* can be bothered with CLI.
What n00bs.

Does this mean it's not too late for Novell to prevent Darl McBride from working for SCO?
Here's hoping...

You'll want to use the --deep option to make sure all your dependencies are in order like so:
emerge -uDv sys-kernel/windows-xp-sp2
Oh, wait a sec... I'm not even supposed to be here, am I?
It's just Solaris with glibc.
I can't wait for RMS to start demanding people call it GNU/Solaris.
EVEN NOW THE ERRORS ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE AT THE GATES OF SLASHDOT!!! THE INFIDEL 503 ERRORS WILL ROAST IN THE BELLIES OF THE SLASHDOTTERS!!!

I, and I believe I speak for everyone here when I say this, greatly missed the DoubleClick ads.
Let us have a moment of silence, and then I shall buy an X10 camera in their memory.

I think I found my credit card number in there. Hurray for me, I'd had it stolen before I memorized it.
Question: is it possible to distill ocean water via evaporation? If you can, why didn't early sailors do this?
As already pointed out by another poster, the ocean through which the listed explorers travelled could provide sustenance.
No, it could not. Try sailing for a year, eating nothing but fish. You won't make it six months before you die of malnutrition.
Point is, early sea explorers did, in fact, have to bring a large portion of their food with them.
Being a brain-hacker would be a lot more lucrative than defacing web-sites.
So, do you think any 20-something female international royalty use the internet? Anyone got their IP's?
