er, two things: 1. you forgot Soviet Russia 2. WTF is it with natalie portman's hot grits? I honestly never understood this.
Regardless, thanks for the fond memories. Here's to SGI!

Linux v2.6 Begins Testing
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
FWIW, 2.6 has ksymoops built in now. Not sure about a full-on debugger - I lost track of where that idea went. Last I checked, anyway (yesterday). The thing that will get most people (I bet) is needing to have the right config options enabled for the console and for kernel debugging.
Yes, IPSEC is already in 2.5.xx, along with the NSA's SELINUX hooks, IBM's JFS filesystem, and SGI's XFS filesystem. Lots of VM and block I/O work, too.
Wanna see something funny because its so stupid?

In Pursuit Of A Spammer

I've noticed a few "diplomats" grubbing for money recently on the kernel mailing list. Nigerian vacations, anyone? Oddly, each sender/IP occurs only *once*, it seems. Even more oddly, no mention of "Free Speech" (or any other policy) is made. It seems that "Free STFU" goes hand-in hand with "Free Speech", for practical purposes.
Thx, I'll give it a shot and get back to you with my results, for better or worse. I still maintain that it is a mistake to tie the requirements to participation in such an arbitrary way.
It's very reminiscient of sites that have a pop-up which says "Sorry, your browser is not WIN32 compliant", which only serves to highlight the difference between de facto standards (IE) and de jure standards (W3C).
Oddly, it seems to work either way under Mozilla, for me. It's just irritating to have to deal with , is all.
It wouldn't surprie me a bit if Gov't sites are just as brain-damaged as commercial ones - nor would it surprise me if they're smarter.
All I'm saying is that people have got to learn the difference between de facto standards and actual RFC's. Yes, that's very idealistic.
I'm goint to play "Devil's Advocate" here and note that the article says "Windows users *can*..." not "Windows users *must*..."
So where is the "requirement" here? I've yet to see any protocol (on a public network at least) that can't be used (reverse-engineered?) by anyone so inclined.
Granted, the wording underlies a basic assumption that computer usage equals Windows usage; at best this is an accurate reflection of market conditions. At worst, it is a blatant plug for somebody's sales Dept. Either way, it's an obvious bias and should be taken with a grain of salt. I can only *hope* that the relevant security is up to par.
Of course, I'm just playing "Devil's Advocate". And the devil is in the details.
Odd, I'd really like some more info on this. The whole reason I switched *to* Lexmark was because I got sick and tired of buying HP's month after month. Of course, the ink thing is kind of hard to swallow since I defaulted it to 1200x1200 dpi.
Of course, none of this is commercial; the Lexmark (Z53) runs great under linux on my home workstation.
Maybe they've gone down hill since I bought it? I dunno, you tell me.
Never a problem with my 2 year old PlexWriter 40x12x40A under Linux. These have got to be some of the best burners I'll ever see; smooth, fast, quiet, huge buffers, no software problems, and *never* a coaster.
Next time I need a burner, guess what brand it's going to be?
But.... my desktop background is #000000. Black, in other words. How does a shadow look on black? So is my panel, and I like it that way. The patch sounds cool, but I doubt I'll be using it. Regardless, I'll go bag a copy just in case I ever want to change things a bit.
Bwaaahahahahah! Thank you, your comment *totally* made my day! (Yes, I am saddened to report that I *agree* with you. Now if only we could get flat taxes...)
Yeah, dreams like that are cool. Things in this space of the market could get interesting real quick, since RedHat now wants to do their own java thing, but I don't know what kind of relationship they have with Novell.
that maybe the reason people are upset has little to do with any perceived "free ride". It has everything to do with damaged reputation. But then again, he's obviously not banking on *his* reputation now, is he?
I bought CD's directly from various artists during their live performances for the last few years. In particular, I tend to choose the classical and jazz people, especially if they're totally independent. Goodness knows, that stuff is hard enough to find in the US. Basically, if it doesn't sell in some large chain-store, you're going to have to look for it. Of course, it seems that most of the really good stuff has to be mail-ordered from Europe.
Slashdot Mirror
little challenge at the end of the review to explain my own failings.
1. I usually don't bother to care what I seem like to others; Instead, I concentrate on my goals and not much else.
2. I should pay attention to detail with the rest of life too, not just the contents of my hard drives.
Conclusion: I'm gonna buy this one, because it seems to provoke thought as well as laughter.
one of those bags of 1 million shredded US dollars (they used to be sold as souvenirs)?
????
PROFIT!
I'm already favoring the Plextor above all others without even reading the article or doing my own comparisons.
The reason for this?
My Plextor CD/RW.
The lesson is this: If you build quality and get people to trust your brand name (based on prior experience), then the 2nd sale is *much* easier.
er, two things:
1. you forgot Soviet Russia
2. WTF is it with natalie portman's hot grits? I honestly never understood this.

As opposed to legal ones.

Exclusively, in fact, to all other OS's.

Well, duh. I think he's right. So, yes I agree with you *and* him.
It just *bugs* me how long it took for this to get out...
Fuck them
Segway that *hovers* instead...

that's about to gain a permanent spot in my book collection. 'Nuff said.
Amen to that.

Yeah, I know it's BS to reply to my own post, but I forgot to mention that its also got native support for XFS (sgi) and JFS (ibm).
They also added IPsec and the NSA's SElinux mods intothe kernel. Pretty strong stuff.
I just *love* the way this little bit of news comes out shortly after Bill Gates decries linux as a non-competitor and takes a cheap swipe at OS/2.
Gee, IIRC Microsoft recently lost a few cell-phone contracts in Europe, right?
And now this group has the "CE*" thing going... The timing of all this is so punny, it makes me winCE.
