How about auto detection of hardware and pre-config of a static kernel with no modules and then you can go through and make the changes you wish... I'd like that. Might save me a reboot or two...
Most of all the photography. The "astronauts" were using a Hasselblad camera that were mounted on their suits. They had no possibility to chage settings on the camera, no flash. Now knowing something about photograpy; on the pictures from the "moon landing" the "astronauts" were perfectly illumniated even while standing in the shadow of their "space craft" and there were shadows going perpendicular to eachother - which again is kinda weird considering you have only ONE light source. Also the camera had some etchings on the lenses that would appear as crosses on the pictures - on some of the pictures there are objects in front of these crosses, definitive proof that somebody tampered with the pictures. There were things with the film that was taken "up there" also.
I recommend you see the documentary - can't remember who made it though... do a search on google.
After I saw the documentary claiming it was all a hoax I'm convinced. I think the Russians should send some probes and try to provide "independent" evidence whether the US was there or not. I truly believe it was a hoax.
Unbelieveable that they'd pull something like that...
I'd bet piracy has NOTHING to do with the music industry not doing so well. The movie industry has been makeing lots of great movies lately - the music industry are mostly trying so sell that pop shit (you know the music that goes 'dunk,dunk,dunk,dunk,dunk'). The so called artists are mearly copying eachothers, sampling, copying and stealing. Maybe it's time for a change. Just my 2 cents worth.
Ofcourse I'll reinstall - nothing is like a fresh new clean system. No old files lying around... after having installed tons of sources I loose track of where it all is... hence, format:) I'm lookin forward to it.
It is time to back up all that useless data. Format the harddrives and REINSTALL Slackware! I haven't been this excited since the 30th of June last year:)
I was just sayin' that it's not implanted in the eye socket and hooked up to the optic nerve. Which was the impression one were left with reading the initial post.
"Jens and the other patients wear special sunglasses fitted with a miniature TV camera. The equipment attaches by cable to a tiny fire hydrant-like device implanted in the skull that connects to two electrodes on the surface of the part of the brain that controls sight.
In other words it connects to two electrodes on the surface of the visual cortex. Which is in the back of your skull. They have NOT implanted an artificial eye.
You know the only thing Macrovision does is prevent you from hooking up your DVD player through your VCR - which is sometimes desirable if you have an old TV.
As for copying - filtering out the signal is easy, you can download programs that will do that for you for free. But then Macrovision won't prevent you from lending the DVD to a friend - who most likely will be happy just to see the movie and not copy it.
I personally really don't think they lose any income from people copying a DVD to VHS as opposed to lending the DVD to a friend. H@ll - it might even be that the friend likes the movie so much he goes out to buy his own copy on DVD!
I've been waiting for this a long time - Gives me a good reason to reinstall. I was expecting it to come during the last few weeks and I've been trolling the slackware ftp to see if anything had changed - and I was kinda hoping to be the first to post it here on slashdot. Heh, only to find that somebody else posted it first and it even had more than 100 comments already... makes me wonder how you ppl are spending your time.
Great this is good news!!! This is cause for a celebration!
Last I heard the greenhouse effect / global warming theory was just that - a theory. It's not for certain that earth'll warm up because of CO2 gasses. And from what I remember it's not the trees and plants that convert most of the CO2 back into O2 - 90% of it gets converted by planctons in the oceans, and I doubt the capacity has reached it's max.
My theory: incr CO2 -> more food for plancton -> more food for fish -> more fish in the ocean -> more food for humans -> more humans -> more CO2 -> etc.
I do on the other hand think we should try to limit it somewhat - but not go overboard like the media has (they just love armageddon stuff).
We need to get rid of the religious disillusions that obviously is still hindering science. And find somebody with the guts to take it all the way and actually have a clone born. Cool, now all I got to do is get a blood sample from Sandra Bullock.

And if I'm not mistaken less / no radiation from the screen :)
Just make them unable to access anything outside India and see how they like that. Their tactics sound like blackmail to me.
There is no way that they could have pulled off something as big as a faked moon landing and kept it secret for over 30 years.
They pulled off the lie that there is a 'God'... so why not. The biggest lies are the easiest to belive.
