I'm surprised to see that Google isn't on this list. Android, Goobuntu, GFS... Why aren't they contributing this back into the main tree? Doesn't Andrew Morton work there? What does he do all day? Chris DiBona? Google has linux repositories and plenty of open source projects. Is this simply a case where code from Google isn't being attributed to them and instead is filed under unknown? Anyone, Bueller?
There's more to high end graphics than just CAD. Sure, and hopefully this will open up more of the high end graphics market to Linux including CAD.
One stress as a Linux user is the lack of 'real' programs. By real I mean professional stuff like Photoshop, Solidworks, etc. Stuff that really seems best suited to a robust system like Linux.
Now if there were just some nice 3D CAD programs for linux. I tried all the free options and they stink. This move by 3Dlabs suprises me because I wasn't aware there was even a single available high end (read: expensive) 3DCAD program for linux. Anyone know of a good midrange option? I wouldn't mind paying a couple hundred bucks even.
Um, well you seem to be getting into semantics. It is the hydrogenn that is physically stored, but in effect its stored as an energized state of water. The water that went into the system is lost until you release the energy used to seperate the water. Either way my point stands that no water is created for Kalifornia and much of the water currently in the environment will be unavailable for other uses.
The process doesn't _CREATE_ water. Kalifornia will still have water problems, probably even worse than today. Put simply water is used to store the energy like a battery. Step one: use lots of energy to split water into base elements. Step two: allow hydrogen and oxygen to recombine in a controlled manner and capture the release energy. Step three: use energy and spill water.
I hope these jerks all lose their jobs. They have no clue what they're doing, but the blame me for their problems. I steal music. Lots of it. For certain artists that I really enjoy I only use my own rips. Most of the time I rip from a friends copy, but right now I'm looking for an older Jay-Z cd that nobody I know owns. I've been debating buying it for a few days now but I can't stand supporting Hillary and her boys. The cd costs more today than when it was new. Shouldn't it cost less?
... you can follow the tollbooth logic - the fact that I pay taxes which go to building highways doesn't save me from having to shell out some moolah at the tollbooth. Paying taxes may not save you from paying tolls but it should. If the tollway is only partially paid for by taxes then tolls are acceptable/appropriate. I'm all for users fees but this is a bad analogy.
You're right you don't. You'll use this to connect between switches or between your cisco 7500s and the PIXs.

Well I guess I can concede that the editors should learn to respect their power. Considering that 70% of/. readers don't run linux I think the load on the ftp sites would be significantly less than the spike of something like LOTR trailers for example. Not that you'll agree this changes anything.
With situations like this I don't think the editors can do anymore (or less) than they did. The fools who have nothing better to do at 9am in the morning than build and install a X.0 release of kde deserve to be frustrated with slow downloads or timeouts. Meanwhile those of us who wait until it is convienient to upgrade aren't bothered at all and we have the benefit of the ignorant masses finding all the bugs for us. I say post the story and let the chips fall where they may. Maybe if this sort of thing becomes too disruptive to the kde team they will submit a story themselves early with the request that it be delayed until the mirrors are ready.

They never said it was released. In fact they actually said there wasn't an announcement yet. They only said its out there on their ftp site. So the story was quite true. There are packages available and they are publicly available.

God forbid that anyone should take any responsibility for their own actions, but maybe you should consider that the people hitting the site might be at fault. Slashdot is a news site, they post news items. This is like those people who try to sue video game developers as if the caused their child's actions. Be responsible for yourself.
Let's say someone is completely used to using a multi-button trackball? If the machine only comes with a 5 button mouse and not a 3 button trackball, does that mean that the hardware is broken?
The user shouldn't need to change they way they work to fit the hardware. If the hardware doesn't do the job the user needs its the hardware thats broken not the user.
Actually unless I'm mistaken (haven't checked freenet out in awhile) there still isn't a search function. This is hindering its acceptance more than the filespace surely.
Thats an argument for choosing one over the other not a measure of one package against the other. By your reasoning we should all use windows because its already used by so many people.
Choose the right thing because of its own merit not because it is already pervasive.
I'm pretty sure that.debs have error checking. FWICT apt checks md5sums to verify the package is intact and dpkg will verify the signature. I don't know for certain that it actually does this but thats what the man pages say.
The bugging questions is another issue. Personally I don't mind the questions. It IS possible however (as im sure your aware) to set the importance level of the questions. I don't know how many that could eliminate but it probably couldnt' be worse. dpkg probably also has a setting to always assume defaults.
So what are some disadvantages of.debs? I hear statemts like yours all the time but I don't think anyone ever points out a downside to the.deb format.
Care to enlighten me?
Aol should try to attrack users through a better client not through strong-arm tactics.
People gripe when Microsoft increases its browser share by making it free instead of making it better. Why should it be alright for AOL to capture market by leveraging existing users instead of quality?

No the solution is the same. This device allows you to use cheap IDE devices with a SCSI controller.

I wouldn't say its a Troll. Its the exact same reason I don't own a Tibook either. Why are Mac folks so defensive about this issue?
