I have never once had a library collect a fine from me. I once was supposed to pay off an $8 fine. As soon as I offered to pay it, the librarian smiled and said, "Thats alright." I guess my dashing looks and suave attitued impressed the 75 year old blue-haired lady.:)
Sorry -- you are incorrect. The webpage for the site is not updated as fast as Slashdot can find out about their new releases. Look for a link on the left for "all releases" and download Bochs-2.0... it wasn't that hard.
Yes, but you're missing the point. It was _the_ first movie to use computers in a very direct and visible way. The first time you saw a character "glow" was the very first combination of live action and computer animation in a seamless (more or less) way.
Truly revolutionary. Sorta like the first guy to combine peanuts and beer.
Did you actually visit the homepage? Or even read the article? This is filesharing applied to a legal and very interesting situation.
This uses the gnutella protocol to repeat internet radio broadcasts between listeners. If you listen to a radio station, you have the option of rebroadcasting what your listening to to another person. This distributes the load of hosting a radio station and allows you to help out small (in particular personal) broadcasters.
I would love to use this, but I think that my University is filtering all evil copyright-infringing gnutella traffic to/dev/null... so I cant even use it for now.
Strictly speaking this weapon plays no part in your "cycle" unless there are other militant nations gunning to take us out.
This is a purely defensive tool (for at least the forseeable future). Defensive tools in and of themselves should not be qualified as "weapons" per se. This project is a weapon no more than a shield or plate armor is (well, almost... this uses really cool lasers and projects a field of protection a mile wide...).
And yes. The US gets to have anything it invents. Thats usually how it works. If a country developes nuclear capability, we dont take the capability away (for the most part, look at india and pakistan), we just leverage advantages that we have to "convince" people that it is in their best interests to discontinue nuclear programs (e.g. North Korea).
Just because its the US and its chic to hate us, it doesn't make you right.
Actually, we _do_ have the right to complain. We dont have the right to expect others to honor or fix things based on our whinings. However, with the right to complain comes the responsibility to fix the crap that we complain about. So yes. If you were to not like changes that RedHat makes, you have the options to
a)complain and fix the problem b)complain and stop using the distro c) STFU.
I have extreme patience:)... still waiting for Neverwinter. Im just curious to see if other people have gotten it working in wine while its downloading for me.
And _I've_ already put my money where my mouth is and bought my copy from tuxgames:).

Actually languages still continue to matter a great deal even now. While computers are getting ever faster, do you really want to offset speed gains by using languages that are inefficient for many tasks?
Don't get me wrong. I love high-level languages. Python is one of my favorite languages. However, I would not ever consider doing driver implementation or operating system work in python. Something must be said for low-level languages and their ability to relate directly to the hardware they are running on.
Its nice to have an acceptable concise and accurate book that holds your hand through learning how to program in *nix. Programming is one clear advantage that *nix has over windows, especially since the tools are free and come installed by default.
I think you may have jumped the gun here. Qmail is "free" as in beer. It does clearly meet the requirements as set out in the document to be Free and/or Open Source Software. They are not mutually exclusive, or inclusive.
I can see why the government might want to keep some of that research limited to the US. The government is doing what it believes to be in its (and in ours to some extent) interest. However, our responsibility is to demonstrate that it is not through whatever means are most appropriate. Im thinking something like civil disobedience or "leaks" would be the most appropriate in cases like this.
there are some really interesting possibilities. Think of software-defined radio letting you join different wireless networks that are decentralized and encrypted using something ala freenet. If you were to couple unfettered access to wireless frequencies where people's ingenuity sets the standard, and not self-interested corporations.
I would personally love to see open hardware designed to utilize wireless technology available similar to the projects at OpenCores.
Speaking of flame wars and dying operating systems...

No, yours wasn't working properly because, as everybody knows, the real sequence is Up Down Up Down Left Right Left Right B A B A [select] [start]. This will not only give you 4k rpm drop, but also 33 lives to try it out with!
With the MS Palladium initiative "you will have "trusted agents"--pieces of code that are signed by people you trust. This is a good thing because it can eliminate a lot of viruses. So if you get code and it's not from anyone you trust, you can choose to not run it."
Sounds alot like me using./run_program or rm -fr run_program. Brilliant.
When will Microsoft learn...
Here's an excerpt from some computer magazine's review of the new "enhanced" version of NT...
"In one review the editor had this to say about Microsoft's new version of WindowsNT: "All in all it was a massive undertaking. Massive in scale. It ran quite fast in all test's, giving a maximum of 28km/h (kilo-mips/hertz). But when it crashes... it takes most everything down with it....""
maybe this would have prevented that horrible failure of MIR after some cosmonaut accidentally infected it with the Anna Kournikova virus.
Food for thought.
If _I_ were a Russian cosmonaut on a multi-month mission to space, I would pay quite a bit to have a _real_live_woman_ in with me (actually, Im a geek on earth, and would probably pay quite a bit too...anyway...). Besides, "in space, no one can hear you scream."

Awww... but if you start reporting me, how will I afford the chrome wheel covers for my souped-up Honda Civic with hydraulics and a turbocharger?
p.s. I'm not a "ricer" my car _actually_ rocks.

Inquiring minds want to know. Will someone with the alpha report on its usability inside WINE/X?

w00t for BioWare! Not only a quality game, but a quality simulatneously multiplatform game! Good job all around. Im glad I preordered my copy already!
