> Okay, I'm curious . . . why does it have to be a van?
C'mon! It's a well known fact that when you are either [A. tapping into someones wireless network or B. eavesdropping using hightech software] you HAVE to sit in a van. (it wouldnt look suspicious otherwise)
1. Get a van. 2. Place this van outside of a big company using Wireless LAN. (w/o security measures) 3. Get a laptop. 4. Get a Wireless LAN card. 5. You now have free unlimited fast internet access w/o an ISP to complain about what you download..
Now it's a jolly good distro! Now it's a jolly good distro! Now it's a jolly good distro! Now it's a jolly good diiistrooo! And so say all of us. And so say all of us. And so say all of uuuuuss.
However, as projects grow in size, they will soon face financial stumbling blocks, not to mention a need for increased visibility. How does one best market an Open Source project?
You don't. If the project truly is different and worth checking out it will market itself.
All you need is one individual to notice your project, check it out, and realize: Hey! This is really good. Then he will tell his friends who'll tell their friends and so the stone gets rolling.
I think the problem today is that there already is established projects in most areas. So people will just think "Noo! Not another mail client..."
The purported "prize" for participating hackers was 500-megabytes of online storage space
Err, so if they want 500 Mb of free online storage space, why don't they just connect their computers to the internet, install a FTP server and use it as storage? That would grant them hellova lot more than 500 Mb.
Okay Mr. Armstrong. nice and steady. use this ladder to climb up into the slingshot. Workteam: Push! *distinct hnnngh from the workteam*. Okay. here we go.. Workteam: Release! *desperate scream as Mr. Armstrong flies across the horizon to never be seen again*
I live in sweden, and my prediction is that we will probarly be seeing alot more of heavily* encrypted distributed filesharing networks. (* By heavily i assume someone will ahem, borrow the RSA algorighm, and integrate it into the software, and release it on the major filesharing networks, making it impossible to determine the author). The problem with this is that it will be possible to share anything, including childporn and snuff since these are no-control networks (anarchy model).

So, in -s-o-v-i-e-t- russia... victims spam YOU!
...and most search engines is that they are not searching for what i want them to.
For an instance. If i search for "WAN" I don't want to find "Obi wan kenobi".
I want searches to be case sensitive and not ignore special characters (-\.+!@#$%^&*) are ignored in google.
...your belly works in an office.
... we're SICKIN TIRED of all these "... in soviet russia.." jokes!

suug (Swiss Unix User Group) means "suuck" in swedish.
More or less working shadows-in-GTK2 patches have been circulating the net for months... what's the point?
And why add all this bloat? Like if GTK2 wasnt slow enough already?
