Don't forger reliability. In my college in Venezuela, about 99% still use floppies, and don't understand why windows asks to format their unreadable floppy when they insert it, and find out it works in other computers.
I got tired of it and bought a 32mb usb drive (now 256mb) and the few people that can afford it (most can't here) have bought one
...Trotsky reads you! Really, this time it is on topic.
I find highly interesting what he says about the soviet goverment and u.s capitalism.
What struck me after living in the US for a while, was the similarity, at a very fundamental level, between the US and Soviet systems: while the means by which they attain their objectives differ, the objectives themselves are, for all practical purposes, the same: control and exploitation of the public. Both systems indoctrinate with propaganda from childhood.
But because the Soviet system had coercion at its disposal, the propaganda did not need to be convincing: if you stepped out of line, the government came hard after you. That's why propaganda could be blatant and absurd, and the public was fully aware of it and did not believe it, only pretended to. That is also one reason why the Soviet system collapsed.
I'm intrigued. While I've only given it a few minutes' thought, I haven't managed to come up with a way that an unprivileged Linux user can hose an entire system (well, outside of their own data) with a malicious script. Could you let me know what I'm missing here? Thanks.
You are missing the fact that the user's data (for a home system anyway) is the most important data in the OS itself. Being able to damage your home folder really kills your data, since you could reinstall anyway to get your/usr/bin back.
Moral of the story? Exploits do the same damage in windows and linux for home users, without root access. So, kids, remember to do backups.
Still, i would like it to happen. But if google wants to kill msn et all, jabber has to first support audio and video chat.
They are too busy with their current projects. Gmail has been in beta for almost half a year and it still isn't final. And still as a beta project, they made yahoo and msn catch up to provide more space.
I wonder how google IM would shape up aim, yahoo, msn and icq.
Although, it doesn't resolve a local iTunes server properly.
Hack it yourself.
5) I can't see my own share! Good! That's a feature, not a bug, so you don't go "Wow! This person has exactly my taste in music!" and then download your library off yourself. If you really want to change this behavior, look in the code for isLocalHost();
I would appreciate if you would give me a direct link for this. Using the search in that page i found http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Main/NativeHooks. Is that it? It heavily uses JNI, which is not the same code at all
This is the first time in slashdot history i see an article with apparently no posts ("Read More...) and not being the most recent article on the list.

My powerbook doesn't have a pcmcia slot. Is this using some kind of usb to pcmcia adapter?

My a7v333 (kt333) mobo from 2003 can't boot from USB (award bios)

But with GTA:San Andreas around the corner, is it worth it?
Of course, since SA won't be released on the PC until may
I take it that JC Denton hasn't liberated the base yet by bringing the security bots back online
The effect can also be the opposite for those who are not native speakers of English.
True. I am venezuelan, and i learned english at a local academy, but there you don't get taught slang, l33t, or other colloquial stuff.
Who said GTA can't teach you anything? I learn from those haitians everyday
Hey this is cool. This is my starting evil character in the game.
After doing some non evil stuff, my character now looks like this
Send your love mail to the msn music store here
I find it ironic they diss apple while they are making you use IE and Windows to buy their music...
And since nobody uses *BSD let alone openbsd then nothing bad will happen to anyone!

Imagine if Doom 3 had been just like the original Doom, but with a better engine
To me, that is exactly what they did.

This is even a worse idea than the "2 day dvd lasting" media.
Why do this?
Sunbird is less descriptive than Excel? Curious.
Ask anyone who has used a windows computer, and report back.
