Shami Chakrabati from Liberty made a very valid point. Holding someone for the equivalent of a typical 6 month jail sentence with no charge is a very good way to alienate that person and his/her community. How would we feel about losing 3 months of our lives, and after that, being released with "no charge". What would our employers think? What would happen to our houses, mortgages during that time? It's easy to think "90 days isn't so much", but think about what it actually means. Shami is great.
Wonder if they have to take drugs to, ahem, lower their sex drive, or something, so they don't want to bust out of that space station, and start looking for hot robot monkeys in space to have fun with?
The only advantage of a phone being Linux is if you can actually get access to the Linux-y bits of it. I have a Linux handset in my drawer at work, and the fact it's Linux is completely irrelevant as I can't get a bash prompt. However, I have seen a Siemens phone running on Linux, and you can actually telnet or minicom to it. It's pretty cool to be able to run bash, ps, ping etc on a phone. It doesn't have a compiler on it though, so I won't be trying to put Gentoo on it.
why I always jump to make an early slashdot post - You fail it. why people wait at all costs and discomfort to get home and take a dump - Not me - crap on work time, that's the way. Save on toilet paper too.
I'm hoping to be able to run v2 on my AMD64 box sometime - but reports of it even compiling are pretty sketchy, and it runs like a dog, unless you disable java in the build. (Why are the words java and slow always appearing in the same sentence...)
Anyone know of any AMD64 v2 binary packages until that time? (Binary - I feel dirty saying that word.)
That's pretty disgustingly low behaviour. Makes you wonder what other identifying information might be written into seemingly random data. Improve, or something else....? TCP timestamps too. Just use the LSB, and by making it a 1, or a 0, and you can transmit infomation hiddenly..
">Black Cat Networks in the UK provide native IPv6. Of course, as most ADSL routers don't yet support it, you'd have to put a ADSL card in a Linux/BSD/Windows box. Yay Black Cat!
I don't work for them, but I have used their services....
I emailed my current ISP and asked about IPv6. They said they didn't support it. I said why not? They said because no-one was asking for it. I said: How do you know no-one wants it until you offer it?
As his company is going down the chute, perhaps he should listen to the community. Seems like his decisions haven't always been brilliant.
Not flaming, just saying....
Yep. That's all very well. Until work wants you to have an RSA/Schlumberger token, and other sites want other things, and you have a car alarm fob, and house keys, and car keys, and then you end up with big lumpy pockets.
Agreed. I'm a LloydsTSB user, and I like the fact that it's just a password, username, and then 3 drop down boxes to select randomised characters from a second password (memorable info).
I don't want to have to carry something around with me all the time. I suppose I could leave it at home, but then I wouldn't be able to log in from work, which sucks.
I've been trying to make Soundtracker 0.6.7 work with Jack, but it just doesn't seem to work. I've got other apps working with Jack, so I know it's not the setup of Jack. Anyone made this work?
You don't read the Jabber mailing lists...., do you?
Er, no. I have better things to do. I'm sure I could learn everything about everything if I read every single post on every single mailing list and news group.
Google need to play the good guys, and open up their Talk servers so that other Jabber servers can connect with them. Until they do this, I'm going to be a little suspicious of them. (I do use my Google Jabber account, but I still keep my other ones too, as I'm not sure of their motives.) Still, good on Google for using an open protocol - I've been trying to explain to people why Jabber is good ("imagine if there were only 4-5 email servers in the world, and you could only email users of your email server") for a long time - and it's been a thankless task.
Slashdot Mirror
Any suggestions how? :)
Bah - same as above, but with the right URL: http://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/.

Take your rejected story to digg.com, and technocrat.net - they don't reject worthwhile stories.
We need to use Jabber. It will prevent against things like this. Oh wait. It won't. Still, use Jabber anyway, for it is Open Source goodness.
Or as Osama says: "I'm free - what about you?"
Have Gail from Sin City. I think she'd make a very nice assistant to look at.

Haven't lived here, then, I guess? Everything that's fun seems to be banned/restricted/licenced.
Don't confuse the poor 'mericun.

www.blackcatnetworks.co.uk/services/adsl was the URL before I fuffed it.

We should all go over to some pro MS board one day, and have a massive discussion with them. It'd cause their heads to explode.
Or as in "The Italian Job" (the original one):
How are your family, Jones?
Very well, thanks, Mr Barker.
My pleasure.
I forget the actual names...
