why does slashdot keep posting stories lately that really have no business here.
Do you know what kind of books O'Reilly publishes? I mean, I would understand your gripe if there was a post like "Rand McNally Celebrates 125 Years" or something, but not only is Tim O'Reilly an outspoken advocate of open source, but his company puts out some damn good books that I bet a LOT of slashdot readers own and benefit from. Were you joking about books being "antiquated forms of data transmission", or are we just seeing the results of your unfortunate opinions?
the fbi typically (and rightfully so) makes a habit of not trusting the suspect's own hardware. who knows what lengths people will go to to make sure their data is safe?
the shred utility will only work on non-log structured and non-journaling filesystems, i.e. ext2, but not ext3, jfs, reiserfs, etc. see: "man 1 shred" for more info.
The VFD simply places cathodes near a corresponding phosphorescent element.
I thought monitors were totally phosphorescent, and that VFDs were totally flourescent. Phosphor and Flourine are 2 different elements. Unless I, too, understand neither technology.
I have never seen its users actively seeking out posts praising Windows XP and flaming them to paste
actively seeking out? an AC responded to my post, so i responded back, and suddenly i'm searching for XP zealots to pick on? no. but thank you for praising my skill at putting trolls down.
It's sad because it seems as though we're witnessing the death of a hacker and the birth of a brain-dead multimedia troll.
it is near impossible to have Linux on a laptop
besides the fact that there are a lot of people who would object to that, i didn't even say anything about linux to begin with. and anyway, it just boils down to hardware manufacturers neglecting to distribute drivers for OS's besides Windows.
network
please, just for the heck of it, explain how in the hell windows xp is better at networking than linux, solaris, or even vms.
not THAT funny

Kevin was on Off the Hook recently, talking about how he's owned a laptop for a year now, and he's just not allowed on the internet. When asked by a caller what OS he used, he said he used to use SunOS and VMS back in the day, but now he uses Windows XP and thinks it's quite nice. Really sad, actually.
After the mother got out of jail, she opened up a museum housing many old chairs from various Royal residencies. Unfortunately, the building was made almost completely out of windows and the entire thing came crashing down one day, destroying her business and bringing an end to another sad chapter in her life.
It just goes to show you.. in glass houses, mothers of clones shouldn't stow thrones!
If you don't mind the high cost, Tadpole sells a variety of 32 & 64 bit SPARC laptops, some with a capacity for up to 4 gigs of RAM. It comes pre-loaded with Solaris. I think these are usually used by the military for on-field trajectory calculations.
Anyone here see the movie The Wizard of Oz? They had those flying monkeys that were very efficient. Not sure if this is possible or not, but this would definitely make me not want to go to Kansas.
Well, we can make that two. This guy has a similar setup in his house, but it's all indoor action. Lights on, Lights off etc. It shouldn't be too hard to kill this guy's server either.
ok. Apple Is A Hardware Company. Go to Apple's site and check the prices for yourself. It most definitely would not be in their best interest to to give consumers a way to work around the high prices of their hardware, just so they can use the OS that Apple has to sell so people can use the hardware. It would be absolute suicide for Apple to throw away their thousands of dollars profit per machine just so people could run OS X on a cheap x86.
Well, considering how the U.S. Government operates (slow, behind the times, resistant to change), this actually IS a score for Linux. Which would be better for Linux: a) NASA decides to stick with Windows (score for win licenses) to run Windows apps (more licenses) OR b) NASA having no choice whether or not they want to run Windows Apps, but they sure as hell don't want to run them on Windows, making a small investment in Codeweavers so they can be happy?
This reminds me of Back to the Future II, when Marty is walking around 2015, and there's the 3d holographic dragon/ad/thing and it jumps right in front of him, and scares the crap out of him. can't wait until the internet is like THAT!
was it just an accident that you used 3215551212 as your generic-sample phone number? obviously 555-1212 is the number for information, but how many of you know that 321 was created by the telecom in Florida at the request of Cheshire Catalyst, the legendary phone phreak? it was a reference to the space shuttle 3,2,1 liftoff etc etc. He brags about it on his site. He's also an operator in the area, so if you call that #, you might even reach him.
no, no, no, it flew over the deck, but inbetween the two columns, so only the cars on the upper level could see it. (i think the flight path was north to south.) i never heard about one landing ON it though.
People go on an annual swim around the entire island of Manhattan every year, up the hudson, through the harlem river, then down the east river (not actually a river, but a tidal estuary). It's called the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim. the water is actually a lot cleaner than most people would (rightly) suspect. More info at: Manhattan Island Foundation. Even more interesting is the fact that every year, harbor seals and even dolphins can be seen swimming around the Battery Park area in New York harbor (southern most tip of manhattan).
i remember some time last year, a couple driving across the george washington bridge (spans the hudson between new jersey and manhattan) reported that a small plane flew right between the supports of the bridge over the deck and crashed into the water.. the police looked into it and sent divers into the water, but it didnt seem like anything came out of it. the couple was supposedly "reliable", according to the Port Authority police (they control all nj/ny bridge and tunnel crossings). i haven't heard anything about it since.

Does this violate the DMCA?

Anyone know if there are some Command Line Interface Tools that go along with this software?

the internet does not have one point of actualization
Except for that huge floating wet ball in space.
Better not forget it in your pants come laundry day...
:p
I don't know about you, but I usually wear my watch on my wrist
Oh, i see that the site that was trying to load while i was looking at the threads was on the same domain. heh heh umm errr...

I dont see how this isn't a score for Linux.
