I use to bring professional Nikon cameras & Sony Camcorders (like the DCR-VX2000) into Sydney.
Being an Australian having returned from an overseas trip earlier in the year, I agree, Australian customs don't seem to give a toss about what you bring in. I swear I could of bought every damn piece of mobile devices I ever wanted in Hong Kong and not get pulled over by customs at all.
There are other things: 1) If your laptop has a plastic cover on any part of the screen, get rid of it. 2) Try to kill a few stickers too. Good targets include "Designed for M$ Blah Blah", "Intel WhatInside", and in my case, the AcerSupport details sticker. 3) When travelling to Australia, Ditch as much "natural objects" AS POSSIBLE. Take Melbourne Airport for example. There are two gates leading out of baggage collection: Red and Green. Bring in too much souvenirs and your guaranteed to end up in Red. Customs officers will take a good hard look at you then (clue: Asians tend to end up there a lot). 4) Try and order a 'native' charger with the particular AC plug for your country before hand. A lot of laptop chargers tend to autoswitch between 110 (U.S) and 220-240V anyway.
Possibly. Having never used SuSE, I can't really speculate. The demo CD I have here is based on Morphix and looks nothing like a typical Linux distro. But I personally think it's for secretaries only
But will every new TLD have significant value? I can see.biz as one of the newer TLD's with a bad reputation..biz looked like a good idea on the surface, away from the over-populated.com space, but it's been ridden with spammers.
These new TLD's are just going to add more ammo to spammers. They have legit uses, especially for those companies unfortunate enough to have their name taken in the.com space, but for spammers, it's just the case on the victums end of "oh, this guy trying to sell me something has this really k3wl.biz address".
If we create TLD's for just anything, how do we police the damn things? I bet any spammer could come along wanting one of these, and bang, they just made themselves their own abuse contact:(
There is space on the PCB for another SDRAM IC, but you'll either a) hack the firmware to get your code loaded from somewhere else (running it from network would do) b) find some super-l33t compression method.
note to self: Why do I always bugger up when I submit a story to Slashdot? (last time, when I submitted the Jazilla Milestone 1 story, I used incorrect English).
Now, shut up before my Realtek cards (4 in all) turn on me...
I own one of these AP's and there pretty damn good things for the price, and quite compact too. You could probably rip out the board and place it in a Palm III shell:)
Before I kick myself in the arse over my usage of "full" in this story, there ain't any wireless code in there. It appears to be for the purpose of getting Linux to run on the damn thing. (Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these AUS $100 things blah blah..)
The RTl8181 driver for Linux has been a seperate binary driver for some time:(
When I was working on the basic parts of Jazilla's oh-so-alpha-quality DOM implementation last year, I noticed that I.E had a *very* wierd implementation of element.attributes.item(x)[1]. Say you had:
<p align="center">some text</p>
In Mozilla, calling item(0), would give you an Attr node for align (like it should). In IE you could get anything. IIRC when I tested I.E I got some M$ proprietary crap.
[1] excuse me if I got something wrong there. My mind is more fixed on XUL and CSS at the moment.
Try DD'ing a 20gb disk drive to a 40gb one, whole drive at the time (i.e dd/dev/hda ->/dev/hdb).
I did this with my IBM DeathStar to My WD Caviar. cfdisk then thought I had a 20gb drive:( AFAIK I fixed it by blowing away the partition table completely with some other partioning app (don't remember)
Myself, I most certainly agree. My website is located on a webhost server in The Planets datacenter (note: may not be accessable when you read this because web host is upgrading to kernel 2.6), and I can definitely "notice" when a sites hosted in The Planets datacenter or not now.
Plus they are genuinely Slashdot certified - HardOCP lives there.
Wouldn't one reason for Real losing out is that Micro$oft's Media Encoder is free as in beer and Real's or Apples, for that matter, aren't? (well, they weren't last time I checked)
No, Every leaked Longhorn Alpha has had it's activation 'feature' cracked. Microsoft even changed the internals of the activation 'feature' between 4008 and 4015 and didn't win.

That whoever decided to submit this story hasn't done enough research re GPL compliance.

that should read 'across the tasman could do the same' :(
..now if the fricking Howard government across the tasman, I would be very grateful.

Also interesting is the fact that YaST is in Sun Java Desktop. You wonder how they did that?
I've seen benchmarks before showing that UML has a huge performance hit.
Can anybody confirm?
Pratically every Wireless AP has a 486/Elan or simular. It's amazing that they can pump so much traffic through with that low speed.

I think 2.6 has a feature called "Kernel Versioning Support" which allows you to use modules made for older kernels. It's still EXPERIMENTAL, AFAIK.

latency freaks like me will still get there goods out of plain old wire. The latency in 802.11 is somewhat painful if you notice it.
Not even DOM2 properly, either.

Is it just be or is DARPA now considering every slashdotter a threat to national security because we took their site down?
(I'm in Australia on iPrimus dialup here, and darpa.mil fails to DNS resolve.)
But doesn't UML have a big performance hit?

No you damn American.
In Australia, it's UNLEADED PETROL/'SUPER LRP'/LPGAS which goes into the PETROL/LPGAS TANK!

Have we ever thought about the idots who actually bother providing the backbone connections to spammers in the first place. Qwest is one
Perhaps Microsoft's telnet client in 2000 and later is BSD too? It looks BSD, but appears to do things like call advapi32.
