Sorry, but this is just utter nonsense. You can't punish people for not being "literate" computer users. I'm all for security awareness and all, but this is just ridiculous.
...when I submitted a story a couple months ago about how mplayer now has windows support nobody seemed interested. It's not like this is a new feature of the 1.x version...
I was watching Matrix I and I was thinking to myself "how darn long does it take this idiot to realize he can't be hurt. I got it, everyone else got it, why the hell doesn't he?" I didn't like it. This movie took itself WAY too serious, and it was just rediculous. Just my opinion, sure, but if I tell anyone, I get to hear I just didn't understand the movie and I probabably didn't get all the fine details and the gazillions of interwoven stories, and that I just needed to look closer.
Can't you matrixoids just acknowledge that there are people who just don't like that piece of smeg of a movie?
And please, what is there to think about? If I wanna watch a movie I have to think about, it sure ain't coming from Dullywood...
To warn people about your IQ is a good idea, though you're off by one word.
Do you really think SCO gives a hoot about that? They want to increase their stock value and while they're at it, harvest some license fees from companies that are either too dumb or to scared to ignore SCO's threats.
I suppose all they want is to get as much out of scared users and companies as they can before their scam scheme becomes bleedingly obvious to even the dumbest moron on the planet. Such legal proceedings take a lot of time, time enough to suck money out of people who fear legal actions because they can't afford them. So, SCO doesn't hope for speedy trials. They'd hope it takes a real long time, because they know perfectly well there's shitall they can prove with their forged "evidence". I concur with those people who say we should just drop the subject instead of offering them the stage to pull their evil stunt.
So instead of having to learn how to hunt and cook and make shoes and build a home and make clothes, people can specialize in a single skill, perform it more efficiently and achieve more collectively.
Now, one might argue that people did that as far back as the ice age, without ending up polluting the whole planet, and without money:)
It's not really economic to have reliable electric power. Would you pay 20-30% more on your power bill for 99.99% uptime vs. 99.9% uptime? That's about what it costs.
Yeah bucky was a ridiculous optimist, but the jist of this whole book (and his life's work for that matter) seems to be that if we can eliminate inefficiencies and work together on a global scale, there will be more than enough power/food/resources for everyone to live extremely well.
If by that you mean, we can all waste energy as much as the average american...seriously, you people should learn to conserve energy. If you did, and improved your "3rd world" energy network to something up to standard, then you wouldn't have such problems.
I mean, is it really necessary to leave the AC and the lights all over the house on for 24 hours a day? Here in Europe we not only have a very well working power grid (which basically leaves us with the wish NOT to be connected to other grids), we also know that conserving energy is important - not least because wasting energy means trampling all over the environment.
And btw, have you seen those sat pictures of america at nighttime? You wouldn't be saying demand is lower then. Not if you don't switch off stuff!
Looks a bit big for being used in an embedded environment..also the specs are a little overkill for that purpose. I'd go look for a much smaller and much cheaper MIPS32-based Au1100 or Au1500 (for multimedia) based board. You won't get as much flash or fancy busses, but it's fast, low power and cheap.
You will need to get a toolchain working for those, which is a little harder than for x86 but not impossible hehe...
Another very recommendable product is the XScale platform. If you want to try that, I recommend manufacturers like Karo Electronics.
Actually, the Au1100 is made for lower power consumption, but it's "big" brother, the Au1500 (spezialized in multimedia applications) gets well hot. I don't know if you could easily put that in a PDA. Works very well though, fast and stable.
...Aldi sells a very cheap color laser printer. Here in Germany, it costs 800 EUR, which is about $908.
Question is, do you americanos have Aldi North or Aldi South, because that makes a big difference. And also, do you live in the northeast, because I think that's the only place where you can find Aldi markets...
Slackware is not a factor in discussions about market share or brand value or anything like that. It's a symbol, a legacy, something divine that you cannot change.
It has almost religious meaning to us, like holy cows in india or that t-shaped wood things with that semi-naked guy pinned to them that you find in churches. Changing Slackware's name is not just wrong, it's impossible.
That said, if you're looking for something that is 'fit for the market', check out RedHat or Debian or one of the countless others.
Germany uses this system as well, as most of the rest of Europe. And I think the total number of people in europe at least equals that of the US population...heh.
Oh, btw, it works fine. We usually get first estimates a short time after the ballots are closed. Granted, in a bigger country it would take longer, but as a voter, you really can't flamingo up here.

Hi,
Someone made a patch for Bind 9 already.
No, but I was thinking of soccermom.
...when I submitted a story a couple months ago about how mplayer now has windows support nobody seemed interested. It's not like this is a new feature of the 1.x version...
...thus more media attention for a wormy. Pretty easy concept, innit?

This is how it starts. They say they do it to protect the homeless of course, and if you want to know how it ends, watch that episode.
The worst is, there won't be any reaction from the /. crowd because they can't think of any non-electronical way to protest this ;)
Now, one might argue that people did that as far back as the ice age, without ending up polluting the whole planet, and without money :)
Curiously enough, we here in Germany do...

You can use WLAN by using a CF+ (Compact Flash) WLAN card, like the ones made by Socket.

Then, perhaps, this could mean that Slackware is not the distro for everyone? Maybe it doesn't want to be ? Maybe it can't?

Were you part of an experimental testing group or something? Because I sure as something voted on paper....

..isn't it a lot easier to recognize a number printed on an image than from a sound file? :|
