Great! Start coding! Stop talking about how other people should innovate and take that responsibility upon yourself. Stop talking how people are apathetic and start doing something other than sitting around complaining about how people sit around and complain.
You seem to like making music, (your homepage, I assume it's yours?) so do that for an open-source project, or use that creativity that allows you to create music to help in an OSS project somewhere.
Gentoo offers several choices in managing the configuration files in/etc, one of these options is the dispatch-conf script which keeps all changes in RCS. This is mostly for updating... so it's not everything, but it's definately a strong start and you could likely use the same system to keep track of your own modifications.
The slashdot effect is starting on the poor site and the database only allows 32 connections at one time... so I figured it would be best to post a copy of the news summaries that it digs out of the database:.7 and.7-PRE4 don't have much changed in the way of news..7-PRE3

Fink is a great start, but OSX still needs a better system to track 3rd party applications. Copying over a newer bundle is great, if you can keep track of when you need to do that, you quickly could become overwhelmed with the amount of news for different websites you'd need to check to determine when that was needed.
But yes, fink is a good start, perhaps they should expand it for packages outside the project, it would increase it's value greatly.
Because we all know the latest version of mozilla is 1.4, the latest version of openoffice is 1.1.1 and firefox hasn't released it's minor version upgrade after.9. Yep... great source there, gentoo gets ebuilds to all their mirrors fast than freshmeat realizes that the software was updated weeks ago. Freshmeat also won't track the patches that portage will roll in without even bothering me. It won't even track linux kernel.
>You read the README.
1,600 poorly written, dated READMEs, what fun. I suppose I have to download the source myself and go the their website too? Why should I? I've got scripts to download the latest version for me, that's the way I like it...
>make uninstall
Lemme see where I put that uncompressed copy of the source code for a huge application so it could take up my disk space so I can use the makefiles to uninstall it... yeah... brilliant idea.
Anyways, try and keep 1,600 pieces of software up-to-date and running well, while tracking their dependencies and get back to me on how that goes. I'll take automation.
After all, you could type the compilation commands yourself as opposed to using those fancy makefiles, but it's much easier to use a makefile, just like it's even easier to use a package management system. Why use make uninstall when you can use emerge -C packagename?
I think NTFS actually has a similar stream feature where such things could be embedded. Reiser has a concept that everything should be a file, so you might as well hope for M$ to release a driver for Reiser than Reiser to do forks... not sure about ext.
NOTE: take this with a grain of salt, I know very little about filesystems.
I cannot imagine the days when my system didn't automatically have a comprehensive package management system that could track and update everything. This is something that even only very few linux distributions have. BSDs have it in their ports system, gentoo has it, and debian has it.
The simplicity of typing a few commands to automatically determine what is out of date and what can be updated and then proceeding to just do it is very very neat. Right now portage shows that I have 1604 seperate packages installed, tracking all these by hand and making sure each are at their latest version would be a nightmare.
Even applying experimental patches is simple and happens automatically with various use flags. Of course that's a gentoo-specific feature, but the huge amount of flexibility that is inate just but having package management systems of any kind is huge.
I shiver at the thought of installing something outside the package management system... how are you supposed to keep it up to date? How are you supposed to verify that it has it's dependencies? How are you supposed to make sure it can uninstall correctly?
Package management has changed the way I select software.
> However running multiple instances of X on a single computer is pretty new.
Is it? My computer is running 3 right now... I use them to allow me to keep my work as one user while graphically logging in as another, or allowing others to login to the computer without me having to disturb my desktop environments.
Slashdot Mirror
Conviently you also wrote an encoder. :)
Yeah, because United Linux all worked out wonderfully...
Now Theo...
I've read it.
I was merely pointing out that Microsoft's claims of the GPL being viral are quite false, this is an obvious counterexample.
Appearently the mods didn't get that though... oh well.
So much for the GPL being viral...
Am I the only one who find it amusing that these guys roll in on a whim, break the record, win some stuff and immediately go hawk their equipment?
Some good old hacking spirit right there...

As the article and summary pointed out, they ran out of road.
And yes, the unamplified distance was merely to maintain the connection and not establish it.
Either way, impressive.. especially as they would have likely gone farther if they had a good place to go to.
It's fine in /etc/make.conf, but shouldn't be used on the command line because then people will emerge -U instead of emerge -u, which can break a box.

Some of that equipement is outdated and not worth the minimum bid... I'll go back to pricewatch and ebay...
Other than a little issue called price... I don't think so!
Alright, pass around the hat.
Reminds me of the time I looked at the moon and was surprised at how unpixelated the edges were.
Gentoo has a larger package base actually I believe?
.debs
If not... I imagine they will soon... far easier to write ebuilds than to package
Evolutionary algorithms are a wonderful new field of...
Oh.
Amazon
And nerds wonder why they can't get laid...

My apologies, I've heard only good things about slackware. Except that I haven't heard much more than that...
Always good to hear that slackware isn't dying.
