Look at the moon pictures published by NASA They are so obviously fakes. USA couldn't cut is before the '60s ended, so they had to make it all up to not lose face. It's all on the internet, if you don't believe me!
Besides, I think they also made up women. I mean, how many of you can claim to have even seen one?? Exactly. They just don't exist, I tell you.
How do you know that they are wrong? If you really think about it, everything you know about spacetravel came at you indirectly through the media. Who is to say that the round-shaped God in the Sky really is this "moon-thing" everybody says it is? You are just parroting the masses!
You know? This is exactly what I've been waiting for. I had been thinking of ways to make a bootable auto-playable movie CD myself, but this saves me the trouble. Thanks!
I'm not sure if this would work. First of all, you *need* to write some stuff somewhere. I assume this is done on a RAM disk. So there's your opportunity for installing root kits.:) Of course, upon reboot, everything is clean again, but so is your data. So, unless you throw in your static webpages on the DVD too, a webserver is out of the question.
Any mail client would need configuration settings, too. You want to configure your IMAP server everytime you reboot? Granted, you may not reboot often, but then you won't wipe those root kits off your RAM disk often, neither, will you?:)
Bookmarking in your browser is out of the question, naturally, as is customizing your environment. You might be able to store some/home stuff on a floppy drive or another such removable storage medium, though. In that case, you better make sure you eject the medium each time you leave the keyboard, since you don't want your floppy infested with root kits.:P
I'm sure most people can live with most of the inconveniences. But in every case, you will but more limited than you will be in an environment in which you use a harddisk for storage.
Nonetheless, there are some most excellent uses for a bootable Linux distro, of course.
to try it out. Haven't come round to it yet, but it might be very useful to play those movies on any system anywhere, granted this hardware detection and video card support is as good as it should be.
I take it you never watch wild animals attack and brutally wound (or kill) eachother. The fairy tale that only humans kill their own species is a blatant lie.
For a time, I even half believed people's stories about sendmail being too vulnerable for any serious work. But luckily, I now know better and realize sendmail is a robust mail server everybody and I am familiar with, capable of handling even the most complex environments. Sure, there have been a few bugs, but what software package is without any, really? Sendmail gets hammered on, because it's popular yadda yadda, familiar story. Stop pointing uninformed fingers.
Sendfile is an asynchronous file transfer service for the Internet, like the sendfile facility in Bitnet: Any user A can send files to another user B without B being active in any way.
Sendfile for UNIX, which is an implementation of the SAFT protocol (Simple Asynchronous File Transfer) now offers you a true asynchronous file transfer service for the Internet. Virtually any form of file can be sent, including encrypted ones. The SAFT protocol will be submitted as an RFC in the near future.
With 'fast computer' I wasn't even referring to the newest model with the latest dual-CPU 64-bit goodness. I'm talking middle-the-road 800Mhz-1Ghz stuff here, computers that should be very affordable now. People wanting to stick with their P2-233 machines should not keep back the development of high-tech and slightly more demanding applications. The days when we programmed in assembly are over and clean and maintainable code has won the battle from brute performance issues.
Those two seconds, by the way, only really are two seconds the first time you load Mozilla and if you want instant response, you won't get it with any browser. There are some which have significantly faster loading times, but it all comes down to what you want or need. Fast loading or a good, multi-platform browser with loads of features and a consistant UI (across platforms, not consistent with the OS, which I personally do not prefer). All flamewars are basically pointless, as everybody wants their own thing for various differing reasons in vastly contrasting environments. This is a good thing.
And sorry for the 'luggish' typo.:)

Forced? You can choose not to install most of those programs with the Mozilla installer. Doesn't make Mozilla much leaner, but still. On a fast computer it's not even luggish.
This is just a devious trick. Microsoft's PR team is obviously smarter than this. Could it be possible that they knew from the beginning that this would come out pretty soon? Seems to me it's gives them a lot of publicity, not necessarily publicity that's not gonna have people move away from MS products. Microsoft appears to be doing too much of this sort of thing, which is more than a little suspicious. It could just as well be a planned effort.
Sorry, have to disagree. I can't understand why there are still people who prefer IE over Mozilla. I'm not gonna bash MS here or praise OSS, but I find IE a nightmare to work with! I can't live without tabbed browsing anymore, and I can't do without disabling popups anymore, neither. I think the interface is more userfriendly. I think it's not that bloated; I even use the mail client over Outlook, which most definately *is* bloated. I suppose these people are trying to run Mozilla on a PII-233 or something similar. I don't notice any significant difference in performence between IE and Mozilla on anything bigger or better than 800Mhz Pentium III, which is rather mediocre these days. Mozilla has the better features and does the stuff I need done better than IE. So what's the better tool (at least for me)? This had to be said. I mean it, too.
Slashdot Mirror
What's even funnier on that page is that the guy actually says to offer 20x30 prints for US$40!
No, that's-- but hey, I mean. Huh? That's not... well, I mean. Why'd everyone double-post on two seperate Slashdot topics? KERNEL PANIC-- REBOOT
more resistant to the /. effect?
I'm absolutely shocked. Do you realize that in three generations windowing systems, we'll have some serious name-space problems?
Nahhh too obvious. ;)
So what does the W stand for? :)
Mod this guy up, for he is a fucking genius. :)

Yes. Animals, in many cases, have more integrity than humans.

So, what do you do when you realize they've patched a critical remotely exploitable bug right after you've burned or bought your DVD? Doh!
No, please. Take on Captain Janeway. In the name of men all around the explored universe, take on Captain Janeway.

Damn, how I hate it when people say of Lord of the Rings: what a crappy movie! That ending just doesn't make *any* sense at all! Grrrr...

That's complete bullshit. Everybody knows all women are lesbian.
I truly wasn't. I really prefer Mozila miles over IE. I like it much better.
