I don't understand your joke. BSD is not dying, infact it is very alive. The FreeBSD group is about to launch FreeBSD 5.0. So, how do you conclude that BSD is dying?
If you're going to troll, then at least know what you are talking about.
Yes, only the Consumer Broadband Digital Television Protection Act would allow such information gathering to occur, which would cause certain select ads to be shown to only your target group. Let's face it... those Digital Cable and Digital Satellite signal converters do keep track of your viewing habits... and it's all because of the CBDTPA.
I dont know who they were, but this is what they said:
"I took a drive in a vehicle once, and we went 200mph on the desert in New Mexico... then I drove it and we went 200mph again. Then I looked inside the hood, and I saw something the size of a shoebox... I figured it must have been nuclear." Now, I dont remember the guy's name or e-mail or anything, and for privacy's sake I probably wouldnt release them, because who knows if the guy was sane or not... but, this seems like a hoax.
Apple already has an economy system known as the iMac, so wouldnt it be viable that they will also be using iSCSI for their systems?! See, iMac and iSCSI will work really well together because the first character in both names begin with the same character.
Why the hell do 3 companies need to team up to make a standards based Linux distribution?! Does this mean that all 3 companies only have 1/3 of their brain capacity? Debian, Gentoo and Sorcerer are technically the best distributions for standards compatibility, since they are all working on source-based projects. So, UnitedLinux is not going to be standards based, and, also, if there is standards based, then I would say that they (UnitedLinux) wouldnt be the people to do it.
Auction off the patents on eBay. That way, the guy who made the patents could score, and he could use the people he's suing to do it! Doesn't that just sound great!!! Also, when someone else has the patents, then they can sue eBay, and they can sell the patents, and keep a whole Law Suit chain going on.
Glass is melted down silicon that has been formed into glass and then cooled. When it's cooled, it is the same temperature as silicon, and because Silicon is a solid, Glass would have to be a solid. Everyone has forgotten about that. And anyway, pitch is a liquid, glass is melted-down silicon, making it NOT A LIQUID. So, there is a clear answer, making Micheal correct.
Cell phones have been proven to cause brain cancer, if they are used for more than 2 hours a day. Well, most people use it to at least 3 to 4 hours a day.
I must have one of these, so I figure I'll hit up some fellow slashdot readers for the money. So, what about it? Do you have the $2100 that the monitor costs? But really, who would pay $2100 for a monitor, sounds a little costly to me.
Here is how I do PVR, and I can ensure you, it is more logical than buying a $299 package, and it also looks better.
I just bought a $20 card off of eBay (it's a TView99 card, i think (anyway, it has a conexant chipset)) and I captured my movie or television program using AVI... then I took some software that came on my computer and I rerendered the presentation as an MPEG... Yeah it doesnt have the nice looking backend for the functionality but it works, and it looks better than half of the stuff I have seen from those PVR packages.
Wait. HP should offer a no OS option on all of their systems. Their machines are pretty standard stuff. You could probably install any linux distro, and anyway -- RH (in my own opinion) is kind of a poor distro. Mandrake and Debian are more robust. But, it is at least good that they are offering an alternative, but dont be suprised when MS files a lawsuit against them.
Remote Access is what hackers dream of, and in runlevel 0, they dream of it even more, come on, is manual administration all that much of a pain? Geez, Remote Access kinda takes the point out of securing a system, now doesn't it. If you really need remote admin that much, go buy a server off of eBay and connect a 20' serial cable to it and use a serial console.
There are a few limitations to a firewall-based BIOS, for example: What if the linux kernel does not support your hardware, i.e. cable modem or other internet access device. This can lead to serious problems. Also, a device such as this has already been made, but instead of using a bios rom patch, it uses a firmware chip, but required great modifications to the operating system to boot from the firmware. Also, the BIOS is key to the operation of the computer, and to flash an OS to it, could potentially fry your computer, and will most-defininitly damage your motherboard. The linux bios project you mentioned was also relating to firmware, but not hardware.
The Tulsa Public library has books about linux on the third floor, but I have yet to see any installation cd-roms. Infact, it would be doubtful that they would accept a burnt cd-rom or a purchased cd-rom to their library, because of a big contract w/ Microsoft.
The article really doesn't explain what the mobile computer industry results will be for IBM. Does anyone know what will happen to the Thinkpad laptops that don't have a home? I want to really know, because I wanted to buy one. Maybe they'll let one off real cheap.
Mr. Barr's seventh prediction, which states: "7. Linux in Primetime Slot
TechTV will add a pure Linux show to its lineup. Hey, it couldn't hurt. They laid off 135 employees in November, some say as the result of losing touch with their geek side. Leo Laporte has been Linux friendly for years, to the point of having Linus Torvalds as a guest. In 2002, Linux earns its own spot in the lineup.", does not even make sense as a Linux prediction. How does a television program have anything to do with the success of Linux as a reliable Operating System? Absolutely nothing.
Also, Mr. Barr's fourth prediction which states: "4. Landmark antitrust case will drag on
The Microsoft/DOJ "settlement" will be tossed out by the judge as being completely one-sided and the court will compromise between the demands of the holdout states and the DOJ. Microsoft will appeal the new finding to the Supreme Court since it would -- unlike the terms of the current "settlement" -- actually prevent them from continuing many of their illegal business practices." has nothing to do with Linux at all, how would this qualify as a prediction for Linux. Linux is not a Microsoft product, and will never be, so how does microsoft have any success of the Linux operating system. It has nothing to do with Linux at all. Otherwise, I find his predictions to be possibly accurate, maybe 30-40%?
Well, here's what happened there. They had a satelite and hacked it to do pretty much the same thing, but it was not the Cassini probe. I remember seeing that map as well. I really didnt understand what good it was for, but you know, NASA does some strange things.

Can you get the movie without the annoying J. J. Binks?
They are available, just not widely. You gotta shop around man...

Didn't even know it.... (Osage county is in Oklahoma), oh and that street also happens to be like the 96 degrees west meridian.
