Oh. My. God. There's a zip file on your desktop. Holy Shit. A zip file, for Christ's sake! What will your fate be? Long and painful, or medium and painful? How will your family go on?
"Hi. My names Chris, I'm your neighbour from down the road......No, we've never met...Yeah, sorry about my dog, I'll try to keep her out of your yard...Well, anyway, there's this satellite ppicture being taken tomorrow, and I was wondering if I might convince you to join me and the other neighbours in trying to make a picture on our roofs.....Yeah, in space.....Yes, the internets will have it.... You will? Cool!....The picture? OK, uh...,here it is, but please understand, it's funny to a good chunk of the internet community, who are quite familiar with it, and I, uh..Oh, forget it.
Just because you can't imagine what others might do with it, doesn't make it useless.
And you might be able to argue that porting linux to a POS machine has limited usefulness, but it should be pretty obvious to any geek with a brain why it would be awesome to have linux running on the PSP.
I think Sony will be madder than that. From TFA, it appears that Paradox not only showed how to read the UMB, he also distributed several games in ISO format.
That was totally unnecessary, and moves from hacking into piracy. Ethical arguments about piracy aside, it would have been cooler to let the first script kiddie who figures out your crack upload warez.
"2. These non-US citizens who were caught in a foriegn country while actively fighting uniformed US soldiers deserve exactly what kind of representation under what US law?"
See, it's the "foriegn country" bit that that kind of bugs us foriegners....
Windows requires (or at least asks) to reboot for all sorts of stupid things. Installing a new video driver might not be one of those stupid things, but by saying this, MS is implying that all sorts of reboots will no longer be needed.
For a *NIX user, a reboot can be painfull, even if they don't run a "high profile" server.
It would be very useful to me. I almost always have windows from several different machines X forwarded to my desktop plus p2p downloads, etc. It would be great if I could restart X and get those back. Or even restart the machine and get them back.
I'll give you the coal powered car and solar powered mining. Unlikely, but possible.
Regarding the transition to H. If oil is at $300, prices for everything are going to go up. Food, transportation, material, labour, everything. These things will all feed into each other. I'm very worried that the shift might become impossible with the 'free market solution'. We are literally betting our post-industrial future on the ability of the market to replace oil.
In the good old whaling days, the vast bulk of the world went to bed at dusk. The bulk of the rest used tallow candles. Whale oil was burnt by the wealthy of Europe, and used in cosmetics.
Power is not oil. I can't drive to work in a coal powered car. We can't mine uranium with solar powered machinery. We might be able to pull of the transition to a H based economy, but can we do it when oil is at $300 a barrel?
Whale oil was a luxury good. Petroleum is the foundation of our society. We will hit the peak sooner or later, and we need to deal with that fact. I don't think there have been too many new breeder reactors built in your town lately.
Slashdot Mirror
You know nothing. Shut up.
Also, google only reports one other link to this page, which suggests that this is your only venue. Do you think that much of slashdot?
Please. They're 12, get over it.
No you didn't, and there's a geeky explanation why.
Heh. It's funny 'cause it's true.

BWAHAHAHA!!!! "actively involved in training suicide mission murders" I suppose you still think there going to find WMDs, also. Get real.
1. Crack the PSP's bootloader.
2. Port Linux to the PSP.
3. Write a PSP execution enviroment for Linux.
4. Use a loopback device to mount the image file as a virtual drive.
And you might be able to argue that porting linux to a POS machine has limited usefulness, but it should be pretty obvious to any geek with a brain why it would be awesome to have linux running on the PSP.
A. Never. It's not a "driver". The PSP is not a UMD burner. Good luck with that project.

Cookie paranoia is soooooo 20th century.
Then you wouldn't be able to plug it into a wall socket.
Do some googleing man. We've had all that (and a hell of a lot more) on PDA's for years.
No. They don't actually run Linux software, just Linux.
If this is true, BWHAHAHAHA!!!!! CrippleWare Pro.

Bad RAM, 99% chance. Note that if you do have bad ram, you can tell the Linux kernel to remap your memory.

The tar sand operations are subsidized by an oil economy. If all the oil we had was from tar, it wouldn't be possible to get it out.
Replace "kill" with "sue" if you live in such a legal enviroment.
