    Well, if you're using alkaline batteries, that will happen with any digital camera. You should be using NiMH batteries instead...

    They should consider keeping ads intact, though...
  15. DII -COE compliance is a pain on Red Hat Advanced Server Gets DoD COE Certification · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is a major achievement for linux, seeing that the only UNIX based system that is DII-COE compliant is solaris. however, anyone who has ever had to read the DII-COE compliance documentation knows that it is ambiguous and very hard to follow. it's easy enough to make any os installation noncompliant by adding in non-DII-COE approved software, or by accidently opening up a port or two on the system.

  17. Re:wow, this is big news on Walmart Ships PCs with Lindows OS · · Score: 1

    but Linux isn't a good home-pc OS. Never has been.

    neither was windows 3.1. but it ended up doing well, even over the far superior mac gui.

    the main thing here is that a major chain has begun selling off linux boxes. you can just go to a walmart and pick up a linux box. especially if its dirt cheap. many people who would otherwise avoid linux because of its complicated setup may reconsider a preloaded box.

    my only real concern is if they will provide adequate support for the preloaded linux boxes. that could make or break the success of selling linux boxes on the retail end.

  18. wow, this is big news on Walmart Ships PCs with Lindows OS · · Score: 1

    linux, preinstalled on computers sold by a major retail chain. could this mark the entry of linux into the home consumer market?

    i think this is a milestone for linux...

  20. not quality on Satellite Radio - XM vs. Sirius? · · Score: 1

    but chance of survival. as horrible as this sounds, the one who captures market attention first captures market share first. and the person who captures market share first generally (but not always) dominates that market.

    the quality differences between the two are nil. i would pick the technology that will be there in 2 - 3 years, rather than the one that becomes obsolete from the competition.

    remember, betamax was far superior in quality over VHS, and now all those betamax owners are stuck w/ useless players...

  21. i've heard of XM on Satellite Radio - XM vs. Sirius? · · Score: 1

    but very, very little of sirius. i think that statement speaks for itself.

    go with XM. however, be aware of the numerous add-ons that cost $$$ (like an XM tuner), as well as the activation fee (even more $$$). it's only $10 a month after you've spent upwards of 500-600 bucks...

  22. the govt. on Responses to ADTI Paper · · Score: 1

    had stuff, like CD archives of nuclear powerplant information, sent back by libraries, or destroyed on site. any government web archive containing concrete information about stuff like nuclear power plants, cleanup operations, and reprocessing facilities were taken offline.

  23. is the ADTI on Responses to ADTI Paper · · Score: 4, Insightful

    really just a front for MS to push a political agenda around? i've never heard of ADTI (although i do know who Alexis DeTocqueville is) until now, and they don't seem to be a legitimate research organization.

    really, if open source poses a threat to national security because of the availability of the source code, then we should also remove all books from libraries because of the same threat they pose to national security.

  24. so, when it comes out next week on FreeBSD 4.6 Release Delayed · · Score: 0, Troll

  25. what they're doing on RMS Condemns "UnitedLinux" per-seat License · · Score: 1

    is the right thing. pay for binaries, get source for free. isn't this what all the major linux vendors do anyhow?

    this isn't a big deal. less affluent people will go to cheapbytes.com and purchase a 5 buck cd w/ linux on it, or download the binary from linuxiso.org...
