Just chiming in with my vote for Mac Mini + Plex (the new Plex\Nine is quite promising though still has some bugs). I'm running this setup via my 1080p projector system and a NAS over wired gigabit ethernet and it's just fantastic.
I just wanted to voice the fact that I'm experiencing this as well. I went back to either the official or the the MOOX version of 1.0 and everything is fine again.
You sure that's a mini-itx? I searched around for mini-itx boards and all I can find are the VIA Epia-based boards. Plus that case looks quite a bit bigger than a mini-itx case would. If you really have a mini-itx mobo with an athlon cpu, I'd love to get my hands on one.... can you tell me what it is / where to pick one up?
I headed over to HP to price this thing how I'd like it. The select box for the OS allows me to pick the Suse option, but only subtracts $50 USD. After some research, that's actually about right. So, where's the big money savings by going to linux?
I totally agree. Just a little tip that someone mentioned a while ago that I'm using until slashdot stops their excessive crack smoking... change the first part of any slashot url to one that you like the colors of.
For example, this one is of the form it.slashdot.org. But if you change just the "it" part to, say "linux" (yielding something like linux.slashdot.org) the color scheme changes to that of the linux section, but keeps the same content of the article you're reading.
* Hare technology: the core of Hare is a re-written Kernel, working at up to 88-bit (instead of the standard 32-bit) and accelerating most basic system actions by acting as the Windows Kernel. This is done by triple-buffering all I/O data, in order to achieve an emulated 88-bit Kernel. This technology is fully safe and we have implemented safeguards in order to make it impossible to damage your computer.
That seems a bit suspicious. 88-bit!? Ok, so it's emulated. That still seems like 1) a strange number (not 64, not 128) and 2) would "emulated" 88-bit architecture really work? Isn't the CPU's inherent 32-bitness (or 64-bitness) the end-all anyway?
* CPU Tasking: the CPU Tasking technology's goal is to give more CPU to the program you currently use. Even if you don't know it, there are a lot of programs working in background and sucking CPU from your frontmost application - the CPU Tasking will know how much CPU you must give to each application."
Ack! Why did they move the Extensions and Themes configs out of the Tools -> Options dialog (which used to be the one-stop-shot for, uh, Options)? This is no fun. Also, there's no keyboard shortcut to either of the two new ones.
This plus the ugly theme, and like a prvious poster, I'm back to.8 in 5min.
I did. It worked. In fact, I followed the same.bash_profile example from the referenced post. Maybe there's been some updates to the file-selector? Or Fedora 2?
Actually, I figured out how to do this in 5 seconds.
Ctrl-L brings up the "Open Location" dialog. Type in the path+filename and hit enter. Plus it saves your history like the location in a browser. Quick, easy, effective.
I'm not sure how the "Exposition" and "Cup" events relate to the actual X-Prize, but I was under the impression that the X-Prize would be won before 2005.
Scaled Composites seems to be doing quite well and I was expecting a good college try from them sometime this summer or fall. Would these events be a post-prize scenario, or is 2005/2006 a more realistice time-frame for the first sub-orbital flight?
I've honestly wondered about something like this with the advent of self-parking cars. Who is liable if/when one of these cars injures a pedestrian/other car?
As I understand it, the most cost-effective way to get humans to Mars is the Mars Direct program which relies heavily on a mostly self-reliant model. This means that the equipment needed to operate a base and return trip from Mars depends on the specific characteristics of Mars itself - specifically the elements available in the atmosphere that are usable for return-flight fuel and on-base life support.
The moon-base would be of minimal use, therefore, for testing this equipment since it does not share the same characteristics as Mars - namely, the atmosphere.
While I agree that some things can be tested on a Lunar base/expedition, I think the most critical hardware is too Mars-specific to be meaningfully tested on the Moon.
Maybe I misinterpreted the original post, but I assumed he was referring to DVD-augmented navigation systems (a la this Panasonic unit) that store the map data on DVD and download your coordinates from the GPS for overlay/interface purposes.

This idea was invented by Shampoo.
True, but given it's a sea snail, I'd say it's coming along swimmingly.

Hook it up to one of these babies!
Looks like this is the first image posted by the ESA.
That's the asterisk-wing.
Greetings fellow slashdot Hokie! Class of 2000 myself. Not common to see a geek with school enthusiasm - how 'bout them Hokies this year eh?
You bastard! I just wasted 2 hours of my life!
wtf?

AFAIK, this works for all sub-sections.

Doesn't Windows already do this?
The last visible post on the forum thread is...
"This was just posted to slashdot... "
Now of course, the server's down. Famous last words.

Dear Mr. Gates,
Fuck you.
Thank you for your time.
Well, all they really need to do now is find a midget to fly the thing and its done!
Um....you did notice the fact that this is a Japanese endeavor, right?
