Motorola tried that with the Razr Maxx with is just a thicker Razr, with a bigger (3.3Ah) battery fitted in. The thickness difference is not much, but one can squeeze out five days of use out of the Maxx, which is better than most smartphones I know of but still not much when compared to oldies like the famous Nokia 3310.
5. Re-read #4, but substitute the word back-up as appropriate. You need to be able to back-up fast enough that you are not tempted to skip backing up just because you'll be the last one out of the building if you do.
Backup should be automatic. Change the tape each morning, don't think about it, test tape restore once a month.
I purchase Nvidia only because the cards actually work under linux, or they used to. Lately there are issues...
That's why I purchase Intel only -- free drivers work and are actually supported by the distros, the kernel people, and Intel.
The comments at http://lwn.net/Articles/208617/ explain that quite well, I think. I thought the same as you initially, but it looks like the court did his homework in fact.

Ok, here's one ( I'm allowed to do french jokes because I'm french:-)
A white bear, a crocodile and a tiger meet to have a drink. The white bear starts, "So, where are you going on holidays? Me and my wife, we'll go to the North Pole. It's cold, it's icy, and as we have a big fur, we love this place!".
Mr. Tiger answers, "We're going to Amazonia. My wife and I love the jungle, so we think that's the best place we can go to!".
And the crocodile answers, "Heh, I have a grande gueule, my wife has a grande gueule, and French people have grandes gueules. So, we're going to France!".
Actually, Windows is harder to install than most GNU/Linux distros. But as it comes pre-installed, it's not a problem for most people.
Installation of an OS is a one-time thing that, most of the time, is done in factory or by an IT professional. Ease-of-use *after* installation is what really counts.
I do think that when one talks generally about "someone", the correct grammatical form is 'he' or 'his'. It is so in french, at least ("masculin indéfini").
Acutally the ipod would require little external modifications to act as a telephone: just add a mic to the headphone. The wheel could be used as a rotary dial.
While it doesn't run Linux, all the work was done using tools she has for her Gentoo Linux box. The cats really like it, too - they often crowd around to watch the magic litterbox at work.
Lucky you. My cat always mostly gets fascinated by the paper slowly coming out of the printer with such funny noises... Until said paper is almost out, at which point he feels like forced to attack it (using his special ninja-matrix-like-jump), jamming the printer in the process (and fucking up the page).
Looks like they didn't listen well enough to Cary Doctorow explaining them the basics of cryptography. Cryptography is used to protect secrets exchanged by Bob and Alice and protect them from Carol's prying eyes. When the recipient of the message, Bob, is also the pirate, Carol, it means the pirate gets the cypher, the cypher text, and the key. As Doctorow explains, better than me, this simply cannot work, end of story.
With Linux, drivers compiled as modules usually don't take the system with them when they crash. They provoke an Oops, which is taken care of properly by the kernel (contrary to drivers compiled statically, which do Panics when crashing).
When they corrupt memory, it's of course a different story.
The size of computer systems has been shrinking for years.
Sure, but not at such a rate. In the space my PC tower uses, you can put about fourteen (14) Mac minis. 2 stacks of 7 units. You can put at least 4 Minis in a Shuttle (3 stacked, one vertically).
But - since HP's pricing has gone worse over time anyway, I think it's time to ditch them for good and no longer buy their products...
The problem with HP is that, as much as their marketdroids suck, their technical counterpart are quite OK, providing us with open-source drivers(licensed under the GPL, MIT and BSD) for their printers and scanners since a few years. So what to do? Support them for their open drivers, or ditch them due to idiotic marketing choices?
What about not linking to people such jackasses would want to annoy ? Same result (no extra pagerank), just simpler.
Your abuse scheme seems a bit convoluted to me, or do I miss something ?
It would have been a good idea to try to boot a recent linux on this thing. So we'd have known if it'll require some kernel work to make it run, or not.
What makes me think is the complete lack of results in google news when searching for JCSAT-1B and the irrelevance of the news about JSAT, combined with you posting as an AC.
And not responding at all gives the attacker knowledge that you're running a firewall, if there's anything else not blocked. I don't know which is better.
Why would you have all your ports exposed with nothing running on them?
A port "exposed" with nothing listening on it (ie, SYN packets to this port get an RST answer) is not any more exposed than if it was denied (SYN gets no answer). The only attack possible on a closed port is one based on an IP stack security bug, in which case ports with something listening are just as vulnerable.

TFA seems to point out "U.N." as a candidate. I wasn't aware that "U.N." was a "single country".

Damn politically correct crap.

Terra Soft goes through and optimizes all the code for PPC and makes sure all the Apple hardware works perfectly
To be honest, they say so, but it's rather Benjamin Herrenschmidt who makes sure Apple hardware works on Linux.
And G4 laptops with an ATI finally get sleep support thanks to BenH's work!

Lots of GUIs to install packages exist. For example Porthole, Synaptic. (There are more than these, but I don't remember the names right now).
See also Autopackage for a nice attempt at easy installation across different distributions.
