I basically copy and paste the article summary from the front page as a weak attempt at humour (I have flu so it's also my best shot) and someone mods it as interesting.
It seems people don't even read the front page anymore!
Well, it's an interesting piece from AnandTech. It tells us about what you get when you gather 13 of the most influential CEOs in the motherboard market. You get an excellent avenue to understand where this industry is headed. You find out what the heads of the motherboard industry think about everything from AMD's Opteron to the future of the worldwide economy in our first quarterly CEO Forum.
Actually, I've noticed a significant drop in the startup time of OOo since I swiched to ReiserFS for my / partition the other day. I don't know if the two things are related, but it's worth a thought.
I used apt for redhat for a while and had no trouble. Updating from freshrpms was *waaay* better than up2date. It actually had some new packages on it;) I also had it updating from the kde rpm project on sourceforge, which usually had the latest kde versions within a couple of days of their release.
For the past couple of months I've been using Slackware 9, which I believe is much nicer than redhat. A version of apt for slackware packages would be very sweet, though dropline seems to fill the gap nicely.

I believe it was Ed Byrne. Correct me if I'm wrong.
1) Closed source is owned by a select few, with profits only benefiting the proprietors. Wage labor workers provide the products, but the means of production is solely owned and directed by the few at the top.
2) Open source, however, (for the most part) is controlled by the very people who create it. The production is controlled by the workers, and the proceeds benefit the community as a whole (with adequate remuneration for whoever did the hard work).
"Give Communism a Try - Use Linux" - Ok then, sounds fair to me:)
Is the failure of conventional music sales reinforcement that the RIAA's business plan just doesn't work, or will it just provide them with more ammunition against the P2P crowd?

Is that ok?

Thanks :)

I can back that up. Word under Crossover Office starts up on my machine (1.6GHz Athlon, 256MB RAM) running Slackware 9 pretty much instantly.
OpenOffice 1.1beta starts up in....~clicks the icon to see~
Oh, six seconds. Not too bad. I have been using it though, so it's probably cached up a fair bit of stuff.
First run after booting up, it normally takes about 20 seconds or so.
Still, I much prefer using OO Writer to Word, so it's worth the wait. It's not much cop as a quick document viewer though.
Every two years, eh? Does that mean the previous challenge's entrants just keep going when they reach the finish line?
Oi, you bastard, my mum lives there!
What about sausage, eggs, beans and linux.
That hasn't got much linux in it.

I see a freudian dupe slipped in there. This truely is the slashdot editors checklist ;)
I'm still waiting for sentient office workers.
There's an extension for Firebird which adds a google search box to your toolbar.
Just go to Tools->Options->Extensions->Get New Extensions.
Have a scroll through the page, there's quite a few handy extensions that you can download, and not many of them are over a few KB.
I have to disagree.

Both, unfortunately.
But Star Raiders though, man! How can any self respecting geek butcher a Star Raiders cartridge!
I don't care how cool the mod is, there's one less original copy of Star Raiders in the world.

I'm sure all the airline owners that read Slashdot are going to be well riled up over that comment!
Yeah...and wasn't there an impending meteor/comet impact, or something like that?
The memory's very vague, but definitely there.
Yes, except it's got a better text editor ;)
The problem is, nobody can understand the man page for the launch command.
