Servers at work for example all run 2.4.x. It will be hell to unleash 2.6.x just like that.
Erm, why? I have a large XFS raid box just moved over to 2.6.4.

It's OK so far. Admittedly, it's not a 24/7 five nines sort of place. I looove the IPSec stuff in 2.6 though - that makes it worth it just for that. emerge ipsec-tools. Yum.
Get the Agile messenger smart phone IM client - and a Symbian OS phone, and GPRS, and you can message away all you like. It's great. I use about 50k of data on Jabber a day.
Negative, chief. There's a special layer 3 packet you can send, and if you set the right combination of option bits, and pad some of the data section with a certain passage from the bible.....
Not a single one of them had cards with Linux drivers
Do what I do - vote with your wallet. Look through the kernel source, or run menuconfig, and see which drivers are supported in the vanilla kernel. Then buy one of those. You can spend years applying patches to kernels from various unmaintained sources, resolving patch errors etc. Save yourself the time, and just get one that you know will work on Redhat, Debian, Gentoo, whatever.
if you got 384kbps over bluetooth, i'd be *seriously* surprised, and you've not been able to get internet over 3g until vodafone
I think you'll find BT is about 700-800 kbps. And I have been able to get internet over 3G, thank you. Try doing a whois on my domain, and look for the registrant. Don't jump to conclusions.
You don't want 3G. We have it in the UK and it sucks
Wha...? It's lovely. GPRS is only up to about 40kbps, whereas 3G is 128, and up to 384 if the network supports it. I was driving around Bristol with my laptop plugged into my car stereo, bluetooth connection to a 3G phone listening to Bassdrive, and that was summer last year. Being a passenger in a car, and SSHing from a laptop at 80mph into your Linux box at 128kbps to check your mail with mutt is pretty trippy too.
Anyone in the UK see the program where someone (Derren Brown?) asked a load of advertising people to design a logo and a catchphrase? They made pretty much the exact one that he had put in an envelope before they started. And how? He got the taxi that they came to the office in to drive a certain route, and he planted certain things, logos, words, and images along the way. It all goes in. Everything that you experience is in your subconscious somewhere - that's why you can get it back out under hypnosis. Anyway, back to my circular-breathing Zen chanting back-slapping.
A bottle of vodka works wonders. When I was in Russia, I almost got the chance to be taken up in a MiG by a Russian air force pilot, but I didn't have enough time:( <kicks self>
"But why, yes, I think these devices will be frightfully popular. Everyone and their cats mother will want one. I think Microsoft will need to have about 250,000,000 made just to satisfy the demand for the next few months. And it's a bargain at $700 - in fact, it's cheap at twice the price. Moreover, we can rely on their DRM to keep the hackers out, and the music safe from thieves, who wouldst plunder and destroy the carefully crafted business that recording companies have built.
They really need to spend a lot of their money on these things - it will pay off really really big. Every dollar that Microsoft spend on producing these things now will be worth 100 when these things hit the market. Really."
OpenGL exists on Linux, what else are game developers missing?
Stable nvidia drivers to take advantage of it? My machine at work has a lovely graphics card in it - but once I load the nvidia driver, it will crash/hang at some point in the future. And that sucks.
Or just just post the whole GPG message straight to a few messages via an anonymous proxy. There's also alt.messages.anonymous - now that place is scary. I hate to think what kind of stuff goes through there.
You're wrong about signing emails. To Mr Normal Man, proving you are who you say you are absolutely irrefutably is irrelevant to him. The email comes from your account, and you're talking about stuff you normally talk about with him in the style and words that you usually use. That's more than good enough for him. Any other problems, he'll just ring you up.
The "why don't you use postcards for everything" argument works better.
Slashdot Mirror
It reminds me of this guy who wrote a snake game for Linux that compiles to under 1500 bytes. It really does work.

I fear the ISP might just watch for large amounts of data spewing out on tcp/20.
Another month, another prediction. And yet, most people on Slashdot run IE (and hence Windows).

So what? People thought the earth was flat, and that the sun went round the earth.
Can we get the cache of the cache of the cache....?

I actually prefer to use Samba. Messing around, making sure that uids and gids are matched on both boxes? No password authentication? NFS is so 70s.
Yep, but it requires that all hosts have a routable IPv4 address, whereas with a tunnel you can have an IPv6 subnet allocated. Horses for courses.
Writing OpenSSL in Java. No.
Having to be root to bind to ports under 1024. Yes, it's very silly. Why can't we get rid of that hangover now?
Come on, let's spin them a line or two here.

Me neither - I couldn't care less, as long as I can install it, and anything I make with it belongs to me.
Im sure i saw this within the Mysql license over 2 months ago.
So did you submit it?
