Actually Texas is a odd case, as It CAN secede, as it was an independant Republic prior to becoming a state.
It can also split itself into up to 5 states.
There have been some interesting studies done (usually someones final year project in college) that makes it appear Texas would be a very powerful country in its own right if it did secede.
RH7.2 and MDK8, SUSE 7> all previously autodetected and correctly configured Voodoo3s...
Both autodetect and configure Voodoo3 and Radeon 7500 (what I have handy) during install, and hardware accel is enabled by default, it can be deselected during install.
Installing Knoppix 3.1(Debian unstable, basically) configures it properly, but accel does not work on the Radeon.(Haven't jacked with it further, cool distro otherwise, on my short list)
I have burned ~8 copies of this for folks around here, used it to save some data off a friends new laptop (XP home) when it decided to eat itself.
I literally don't leave home without it.
I also did an install off the CD, and then just did an "apt-get update"... Made me wanna cry tears of joy... Well. maybe not tears, but major warm fuzzies in any case.
(We don't want to accidentally work in a place run by drooling idiots)
I have seen too many places where the one or two unix geeks, who in their spare time keep everything running, (has another primary job) is replaced by a horde of MSCEs and Windoze box, all thrashing wildly and never up.
Video kiosks have been around since the Amiga hit the street in `8, and probalbly well before that
They were used mostly to provide ads, directions, etc, but some were used as POS systems (of a sort) and I vaguely remember seeins a few connected to vending machines.(possibly a demo)

You Bad, Bad Slashdotters!

Their webserver may never be the same again.
And I wasted all my mod points yesterday...
How does it compare to ... say... Bitkeeper?
This is not meant as a troll, I am curious if it would be a possibility.
(It's Free, nice IDE with non-ide options, and import export functions, CVS capabilities (hooks).
Support for some CVS replacement might be a weekend coding project...? (Subversion...)
covers extortion...
Unless the liscence explicityly states what is included, they are going to get a dozen PHBs at best...
I think the SEC needs to look HARD at the trading habits of the employees.
Or perhaps they are... The continually surprise me by nailing assholes that desperately need it.
SCO announced today that they "immediately accelerating their corporate death spiral..."???
If you're going to be biased, do so with more enthusiasm. No need to try and appear objective, we're talking about SCO here, for goodness sakes.
These folks give a bad name to cretins and laywers... That's HARD.
I just want to know who has the corporate "dead pool" running...
This is a classic...
Please add to "best of Slashdot" as a great example
of a troll, or perhaps just a perfect example of bad science...
That >50 million installations of outlook will crash on startup monday morning?
Oh joy...
I would gladly give you a +5 informative" if it was in my power.. Not today.
ONLY if you redistribute a program under the GPL you have modified... If you only use it "in house" no issues.
Your code is YOUR code, if you don't GPL it and distribute it, it does not get magically "infected" by running alongside GPL code.
If you steal GPL code and call it yours--You're scum anyway.
Alan Greenspan is the one asking the questions--
In finacial markets, this is likely akin to The Voice Of God coming down and asking you questions.
Kids, Alan Greenspan is asking exacly the questions that have been flying around here forever.
I think he is a closet slashdot reader.
Yeah... I'd vote for him for President, but he's far to smart to do something like that.
That money hasn't exactly been wasted--- All that R&D is applicable to exactly the purpose you are proposing.
It is being tested as we speak in Iraq.
All you world need are orbiting versions of same for most smaller incoming bodies, probably nuclear tipped.
Of course that would violate atreaty or two...
I aggree completely, main reason I bought a S450, my son has a s600, even refills bought retail are almost cheap, and the print quality is awesome.
Refilling yourself is brain dead easy.
Highly recommended.
Well supported with gimp-print and CUPS.
Knoppix (with minor tweaks) rocks, even just as an advanced Debian installer.
I have yet to find a PC that is new enough to boot off the CD that Knoppix doesn' autodetect everything of consequence.
(Lucent winmodem , NVidia drivers on next release?)
Runs FAR faster on mt old laptop than RH8,8.0.9? beta, WAY faster than MDK 9.0 (but what isn't))
Almost the opposite...
There is no relation, the names are a coincidence, or perhaps the later naming is mockery of the earlier disaster
Look at http://www.divx.com/ for some background.
Google.com can fill in the rest.
Except in Texas, wher the locals can arrest you for a seatbelt violation if they don't like the way you look.

This was fought unsucessfully all the way to the US Supreme court, which found (majority) with the police state.
Google it if you think I'm kidding, I think it even made it to
Actually an atomic hydrogen blowtorch is quite useful...
I can't make up my mind if this shall be modded "Troll" or "Funny"....
Just tried RH8, MDK 9.

Kudos to Mr, Knopper!!!
Can you please give us a hint where you work?

Makes you want to run screaming...
If the magnetic field weaker, the "funneling" effect is also weaker, and less ozone is created, and "holes" form.
Or I could be on crack. Seems too sensible.
Interesting how the timetables seem to coincide nicly, too.
Hmmm. I miss drag and drop file requesters... same in every app. Appwindows... Sorta caught on in Win. Appicons--Win aquired in `95 IIRC.
I guess that stuff wouldn't be too hard to add to KDE.
Video kiosks have been around since the Amiga hit the street in `8, and probalbly well before that

Ring a bell for anyone?
