I can't say I've experienced those problems with the packages. I just find that whenever I build my own kernel, I inevitably leave out half a dozen modules which I only realize I need two months later. At that point I'm forced to recompile the kernel, and I usually don't have the time to do so. I guess the fact that I have the world's most boring hardware helps.
That's the painful method. It certainly works, but I wouldn't suggest it unless you enjoy hand-tailoring your kernel. I'd wait a couple of days until a package is available. Then just apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.0-[arch]
Write a new filesharing app.
Restrict the app's use by the RIAA with the license aggreement.
The RIAA would only have 3 choices.
Ignore the new network.
Violate the DMCA and reverse engineer the protocol.
Violate the license agreement.
The second two options are currently illegal; however, I don't think too many slashdotters would be upset if those options were legal.
I'm surprised nobody remembered this article. It was about being able to play Quake in the real world. I guess someone got around to backporting it to Doom.
You joke, but many modern, lead-acid batteries require watering. For example, the large batteries used on forklifts currently require watering about once a week.
First of all, I'm a student with about as much experience as they have.
Seondly, I wasn't talking about unsynthesizable features. I was talking about features that simplify the amount of code needed that create the same features. Sorry if I wasn't clear here. I would agree that one shouldn't use features that make for unsynthesizeable code. Having done very similar projects, I still think it's too much code.
Anybody else surprised by the fact that it took 9000 lines of code. Having done similar projects in VHDL, it should take less than 1000. Looking at their code, I understand why. They did not use any of the more complex VHDL features. No generics or loops. The entire project was just poorly thought through.

Rather than that idea, how about this:
Write a new filesharing app.
Restrict the app's use by the RIAA with the license aggreement.
The RIAA would only have 3 choices.
Ignore the new network.
Violate the DMCA and reverse engineer the protocol.
Violate the license agreement.

We need to put the RIAA to work for use.

Cool idea though.
