I have taken and am taking mesures to snuff most P2P applications around here, especially Kazaa and other types of sharing for ONLY one reason, BANDWIDTH.
I know you know this but it is a real problem, the students spend all day downloading pr0n and mp3s hogging every available bit per second. Academic usage would grind to a halt when some new CD came out, it was terrible.
Don't worry about censorship, it was just a decision based on some fuggin' tards that can't stop beating off to mp3s and listening to pr0n grinding the network to a halt.
I've got a GNU sticker on my car, it looks like one of the european national stickers.
Everywhere I go people ask me about it. Once in a while a Linux user comes up to me and asks about it and I point them to Thinkgeek (where I bought it). Now there are at least 3 cars around town with GNU stickers - it's kinda nice to be part of such a silly thing.
Or, as with most sports events, they are NOT news for nerds, I don't remember Slashdot praising the Patriots for the superbowl or the Red Wings for the Stanley Cup (Go Wings!) or the Lakers. Come to think of it, CmdrTaco et. al. didn't even mention any of the gold metals that the US has received in the last few olympics (summer and winter)...
Maybe it's just me, but if I want sports news I'd check in to CNNSI.com or a good sports magazine on line.
You only have 2 CDs worth of archived pr0n? Poor guy, I'd have a large stack of 25 cent chips, a nice sized 50 cent stack, a few 1 dollar ones and a couple 5 dollar ones... Gawd I love usenet.:)
Here at my job we have quite a few older IBM machines (PPC RISC IBM 7248 and 7006) and I was searching for a Linux distribution that I could install them - I found a few for the 7248s but nothing for the 7006. I'm planning on building a cluster out the old iron, they may not be fast but they are semi-retired and there are a lot of them.
My question is this, along with bringing linux to the newer machines, are there plans to support the older machines?

Dude, this is slashdot, editors reading the article is totally optional.

Seriously now - how are the tapings made? Do they really have only 10 hours (+1 the next day) to make those wonderful contraptions?
