uhh.. getting tired of these posts that refer to nytimes.com, I never read any of those articles just because of the registration. For me it's like having to pay for information; just annoying.
I'm surprised this theft hasn't attracted more attention in the mainstream media, since "Principia" is generally considered the most important scientific works in history."
Damn, and I thought the wheel and fire were considered the most important ones.
Oh yeah, I went to some friend's place to fix his computer, something with outlook password. I figured I had to change the POP3 password which I had to do through a web interface. The thing is, I called the cablemodem ISP so they would tell me where and how. The guy told me to reboot the computer. He somehow shut down the cablemodem himself, without me touching anything (we were on the phone) and then he told me to run IE and that a page should show up with a form. When I ran IE, somehow he managed to change the home page of my IE to the so-called password change form!? I was really scared at this point, he was changing the configuration on the computer remotely?! Hmm...
If I was a 56k modem user, I would buy a linux distro CD because it is easier than downloading 650 Mb.
Then if I wanted to update my kernel or whatever thing I could possibly do with the source code, without waiting for a distro release and then buying another CD, the easiest way would be downloading a huge 32 Mb file.
Doesn't look good to me, especially considering that the majority of Internet users are on 56k.
I thought Slashdot would tell me what the article is about before I spend my time reading it. In this case I would be wasting my time since I have no interest in reading it.
My time would have been saved if the news post had a definition of what Moonlight is.
"Besides Russia isn't exactly a bastion of civil liberties anyway, I'm willing to bet that Russian law enforcement breaks their own laws all the time."
U.S.'s mistakes cannot be justified by Russia's.

I live in Argentina. Since you said America, I guess I should be scared too, right?
Hmmm...

Except you'd need like 400 nodes for it to run at some 30 fps.

Yes, but... had this not been hosted on sf.net, the host would probably be slashdotted by now and ignorants like me would not know what Moonlight is.
But the real point is, would KDE be so feature-rich and stable if GNOME wasn't there? Competition speeds up evolution, I think.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a "O(2^n) task"?
Does this mean it has been dead for 2 years and now its back to life?
Is this another 3D suite?
