Instead of hammering redhat, Freebsd, ftp.kernel.org every time the latest and greatest is released, wouldn't it be a better use of resources to make a kazaa-like program that distributes the bandwidth of multiple mirror sites? I seem to remember something similar to this being discussed before but has anything like that been done? I actually feel kinda bad that my most "local" redhat mirror is ftp.redhat.com so I purposely rotate ftp sites to even things out.
We've all heard the story about the NetWare server that got walled in and ran for x number of years without rebooting because everyone forgot about it. Who SAYS you have to upgrade? So if you want an OS to be supported, you have to upgrade it? I think RH is being a little hasty, I mean Redhat 8.0 is recent and they already have it slated to decomission at the end of the year. I guess you can't have Windows 2000's much toted 5 nines of uptime if you have to upgrade your OS.
Well I would think a hotel intranet with 100mbit access would work. Any decent hotel usually has a CAT5 cable in the room you could potentially sell it to users with computers or even take something that amounts to an EPIA motherboard mounted inside a cablebox. Have the system netboot linux and go straight into X with a full screen kiosk style program run by the tv remote.
While we're on the subject of ClearChannel. I noticed that DFW Airport says ClearChannel all of over the place. Is CC in the airport business too? Don't believe me? Google
In my city (Dallas) ClearChannel is a FM game. They own 4 of the music stations here.
I know Hot 100.3, KYNG 105.3 (The talk that rocks), 103.7 KVIL, and 98.7 KLUV all owned by Infinity. 97.1 KEGL and 106.1 are CC. The rest I have no clue.

The key doesn't stay in at all, there is no 3 second delay.
Transmission jumps between 2k and 4k but the speed stays constant.
Crazy trunk: The auto trunk pops up but does not open. When he tries to lift it, it slams shut. When he uses the auto-close, the trunk goes down but stays about 2-3 inches from the closed position. He then has to manually push it down.
Don't companies like (guessing) Oracle charge by how many processors you use with their software? I know for solaris (even intel) you are licensed by how many cpus you can use. (Just like windows I guess, 1, 2, 4, 8+ cpus)
Also since XP Home is only single processor capable where does that leave the home users that buy 3.x Ghz computers? Surely it wouldn't be long before someone figures out how to swap a multiprocessor HAL into XP Home...
Isn't combustion of a hydrocarbon by definition supposed to only leave you with H2O and CO2? It is only in imperfect combustion that you get carbon monoxide and when you add other things that it starts making NOx, sulfides and other unfriendly gasses. For example Methane and Oxygen. CH4 + O2 = CO2 and H2O. Propane (C3H8) and Oxygen (O2) = CO2 and H2O. The only difference is the amounts of CO2 and H2O produced. If you watch a vehicle with a V8 engine at a red light, you will frequently see water dripping out of the tail pipe. So it is good that NASA has "discovered" hydrocarbons.:)
Since SCO = Caldera can any of us sue "Caldera" for not disclosing this to anyone who bought a retail box version of Caldera Linux during the time period in which they owned the rights to SCO?

From the article:
Analysts are being quoted as saying that slapping.NET on so many Microsoft products has confused people as to what.NET actually means.
Your comment:
They are changing the name because people are getting confused about what.NET really is. It was a bad idea for Microsoft to try to add ".NET" to every single product they sell.

I said the same exact thing and if my mod points hadn't just run out 2 hours ago, I would get this message out of troll status.
Ahh, in that case, I'll just call them on the ph... Well just do what I did. When my isp changed to dhcp, I just statically programmed the first IP I was given. I've had it for 18 months now.
Your average household connection, right now, if dynamic ip. It makes finding people difficult.
Why? I don't have problems finding friends on my instant messenger of choice.. I see a voip phone device as a device that connects to a network, and signs in to a service provider. That service provider will, through their means, allow you to talk to POTS phones from your VoIP phone. I don't think that your ip changing will matter, your phone "number" will be owned by them and they will facilitate the connection.

I've got a blank CDR here. I'll keep it blank forever! It will be my only CD that no one but me has any rights to what-so-ever! Bwahahahah!
As for the others, anyone want any War3z copies AOL 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0?
Ever seen a page from a spiral notebook look so clean after 12 years? I don't think this is from 1991 like he said. 2001 is more likely.
Just for the record... I had an EGA card with NTSC video-out on it.
Only question is how to get the content.

You need a valid signature on the binary, plus a cert to use the TCPA PKI. That will cost you money (if not at first, then eventually).
I guess you would need your special super-duper HP branded TCPA signature-makin' compiler to make these nice binaries.
Since SCO = Caldera can any of us sue "Caldera" for not disclosing this to anyone who bought a retail box version of Caldera Linux during the time period in which they owned the rights to SCO?

Yeah, so basically, it is a "dumb terminal". Still, I am for anything that does anything that fits into a small case and has an ethernet port.
