My first reaction to seeing that ad for the first time was, "there's going to be some guy, some place, who's going to think to himself, "Holy shit! I can get movies online for free?! What the hell am I doing here then??""
My first reaction to seeing that ad was "hey, I downloaded that movie they're playing in the background onto my computer at home.. and it's still on there at this moment." (the movie was Enemy of the State).
In the article it says "rewritable" has a capacities of 32gb and 20gb (single and dual layer). This obviously isn't the same as RW (cd burning), is it? What is this, and why is it more than read only?
Yeah, I wasn't sure whether to install Debian or Gentoo, but then decided on Gentoo so I could maybe learn a little more about what-does-what on my system doing a stage1 install.
I was actually running Mandrake 9.1 before this and tried to upgrade to Mandrake 9.2 and the installer kept messing up (stalling). I really liked Mandrake's easy install, which was the main reason I decided to upgrade. So after that I got a little fed up and decided to try something new. I've only ever used Redhat 6.2 and Mandrakes 9.0 & 9.1 and soon Gentoo.
And I have an athlon xp 2400+ so compiling shouldn't take weeks:)
At least I hope it is.. I've never used it before and I did an emerge system before I left for work today. With any luck I'll be using it by the end of the day (or night).
The article mentions it in the last section before the summary. It says it's to immature. Although that doesn't seem to be much of an argument against it.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, we know. Slashdot already posted an article linking to it.
Let's see.. here it is.
Seems to be the only one.. and he was "just kidding"
I work in the oilfield operating a 2 tons monstrosity called an MWD.
Meapon of wass destruction? Is it safe to be using these things on oilfields?
Wow. Up until I was sure Perl was the only language one could do ascii art in.

There's one essential difference between file formats and bolt design though. Bolts aren't given extraordinary protection by the DMCA.
And don't forget that we can't use a pair of pliers on files if we don't have the proper tool.
No, I think he's talking about these ones
Yes! You're right! Looky here.
View -> Page Source if you don't believe me. The evidence is all there. IBM are thieves!
Well, it could just be an empty box (save the fan in the back).

Yes, it's really disappointing that they don't support the Intel architecture.
Oh well, I guess I'll go with Linux, I know it runs on the Intel architecture.
. . . instead we have software with names like yacc, Bison, and ANTLR (all of these programs are used in compiler design).
Yeah, I know. My grandma's gonna be pissed when she can't find the right tools for compiler design.
The parent post can safely be ignored.. I'm retarded.
"Linus says 2034 really, really is the Year for Desktop Linux, honest! I'm pretty damn sure this time! I swear!"
Dammit.. I don't want to wait 'til 2034. I want use it right now.
Sorry, my bad. I got my Irelands mixed up and I missed that you said GB and not UK in your original post. But thanks, you answered my question.
If I'm not mistaken, they're part of the United Kingdom.
The Internet gives us the content we want, when we want it, where we want it. TV just can't do that.
Then order the playboy channel. Duh.
There's no way I'm moving over until I can play all my favorite games on it like Unreal Tournament and Enemy Territory.
I want them to offer us something truly great to the Linux world.
And then stab us in the back.
. . . come to think of it, Notepad SHOULD be replaced
It already has been. It's called regedit. You can find it in the root of your Windows directory.

You're right.. the queen's head does kind look like a polar bear head.
However, it's the Bluenose on the back of our dimes and a polar bear on the back of our two dollar coin (or twooney). See for yourself here
