Linux (as is a lot of open source software) is mostly just a reimplementation. Although there are some novel ideas, unix, clustering, etc, were done by others years ago.
Do you think the linux kernel, openMosix, and Open Source in general can break out of that stereotype?
They have 1225 radio and 37 television stations under their control. That amounts to about 80% of the total radio stations in the USA.
The article puts it at around 10% cross country.
Clear Channel has grown from just 30 stations to more than 1,220 -- more than one of every 10 in the nation.
I heard last week that radio stations are still being paid for every song they select. The record companies can't pay them outright, but they can have an associate agency pay the radio station to preview 3 new releases and select one to put in heavy rotation, as long as their isnt' a specific quid pro quo

or your local mega bookstore for a "free gov't money" type book. The feds do offer tax credit, tax deduction, grants, or loans for higher education in circumstances that may apply to you (in association with a career change, etc).
Some employers offer tuition reimbursement as well (I've had 2 post-graduate college classes paid for by my employer, and got a tax deduction for 2 others).
a) The stafford student loans may be interest defferred - interest doesn't start acuumulating until 6 months after you graduate/get kicked out. It doesn't take Kreskin to realize that's a good deal
b) I think I had to pay a 2-5% originating fee on one of my loans or grants. Extortion, maybe, but better than paying out of my own pocket.
State schools try very hard to prevent freeloading out-of-staters from establishing residency. From people I've talked to, for "non-traditional" students, they generally don't check very deep.
Star Wars was a cinematic revolution of sorts. And a tough act to follow. What did George Lucas do since then? Howard the Duck is the only thing that comes to mind. so 20 years later he wants to relive his glory, like a high school jock that got drafted to the pros, but gets bumped and now works as a used car salesman, trying desperately to remind everyone he meets that he was once famous.
Lucas also reportedly told E! Online that the reason droids C-3P0 and R2-D2 have no memory of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader is because their memories have been wiped prior to the beginning of Episode IV, the original Star Wars movie. "[C-3P0's] memory system has been erased, and so has R2's," Lucas told the site. "So they don't remember anything from the first trilogy. I'm telling you something from Episode III, but I shouldn't be telling you that, but I think most of the fans already know that."
I wish I couldn't remember anything form the first trilogy either!
Seriously, though... it reminds me of one of the Chritopher Reeve Superman movies, where Superman erases Lois' memory, so she won't know for the sequel. Stupid then, stupid now.
George, why couldn't you have died in the 80s and left us imagining how great the movies could have been?
IBM will be using linux to help sell their hardware. Other companies have tried this (VA Linux, which owns Slashdot, once had linux hackers on their payroll). Obviously, IBMs hardware is in a different league as an x86 clone, but do you have any thoughts on Open Source business models and their validity? Once the kernel is running smoothly, will you be disposable since the "Open Source community" can continue development for free?
Atta (the scary looking ringleader) had previously been arrested in Israel for being a terrorist. He was relesed as part of Bill Clinton's mideast "peace" initiative, but was still on various US gov't list of terrorists.
If the INS wasn't totally useless, if the FBI, FTC etc. shared information, they would have been deported when they were caught being here illegally, driving with an expired licesne, failing to show up for court, or buying airline tickets.
Tom Daschle and the democrats want to blame George Bush because the FBI and CIA, in hinsight, had the information to see this coming.
The real tragedy is that they, and thousands of others, were here illegally, and we did nothing.
The stomach is acidic, but if you've ever taken a shit and seen corn, or penuts, you'd know that acid doesn't break down everything (and, your stomach will get overwhlmed with food when you eat).
In the small intestine are billions of bacteria that help your digestion process. In fact 50% of your poop isn't food, it's dead bacteria!
If you don't have an enzyme to break the sugar down and absorb it, bacteria in the (usually large) intestine will. They break down the lactose, galactose, etc, and produce... methane (ie - farts).
If you take your beano or lactaid, it provides an enzyme that will break down the sugar into simpler components that you can absorb, so the bacteria won't process them.
Most pills you take are 90+% buffer. Stomach acid will dissolve the outer part, and leave anything inside untouched.
Asswipe, Red hat doesn't make money by letting leeches like you download their latest distro for free (which costs RHAT money in the form of bandwidth) -- they make money by selling expensive support contracts to comapanies replacing some proprietary Unix with Linux, and they don't give a shit about how Red hat uses patents.

Seems ironic to me. Something was so secret it needed to be password protected, but now they're begging for people to tell them what it is.

The US is a republic.
but 92% of 0 == 55% of 0, so there's no difference.
I would refuse to allow my work to be included, but I licensed it under the GPL, so I can't.

Oh well. Guess what OS the Apple XServe runs? OS X Server. Maybe it is an X Server.

What compiler do you use for the kernel - gcc or xlc?
ok, this isn't directly related to the linux kernel, but are there any plans to replace CDE with GNOME (like Sun) or other free desktop environment?
are you suggesting the slashdot editors are lazy and/or incompetent?

On a similar note, "...", ".. ", etc were common directory names for hiding warez, etc, on unix servers, at least back when I was an admin.

strictly speaking, those are ribozymes.
