Uh yeah. I see lots of em. Just about everytime I use whois from the CL. I hope the nerds in charge of abuse reports like spam. Cause that's what they're getting!
I did not know that. Have they been using urpmi for long? What versions? According to the lists of packages included with RH 9.0 - Redhat - urpmi is nowhere to be found. So I imagine it would be a bit difficult to be there as the default setting. Googling for "urpmi, redhat" also turns up no relevant results right away, (fsck spending time looking at more than two google results pages), other than to suggest that as of 8.0 urpmi was not included in the distro. I would like RH a tad bit more if they did install urpmi by default. Same goes for Mandrake if they would enable slocate by default, but that's just me. As for what is more useful... urpmi IMO. If you mean what distro is more useful based on what is installed by default and whatnot then I would say Mandrake.
True, but urpmi and rpmdrake make upgrading and installing rpms pretty damn easy. Just configure your urpmi sources right and you're set. I know that you can setup a similar package management system on RH, (apt, alien, urpmi?), but Mandrake has a nice one by default.

Strange, I had never heard of this "GNU OS" before the article and your post. So everything that is in any distro, and released under the GPL is part of the GNU OS? Nomenclature-Hijacking. It's a losing battle and merely reflects badly on those on the side that is seeking change. It smacks of indignation, and jumping up and down seeking attention for attentions sake. I respect their contributions, which are many, but constantly reminding us about them, and attempting to get their name in front of Linux, has soured the attitudes of quite a few of us.
Probably so. It's still the same for 9.1 which IIRC he tried out. No doubt he made the same assumption about Screem. An honest mistake, but it would have been nice if he actually had tried them out before spouting off about how cool all the "browsers" were. Although with the massive amount of stuff that comes with a Mandrake install it is certainly understandable that a newbie wouldn't run everything.
I think the 2.2 kernel was still being used at the time, even though 2.4.10 or something was around.
Quite OT, but guess what? 3.0 Woody still uses the 2.2 kernel by default. Although you can pass it an option at boot to use a 2.4 kernel. Why? It's the "stable" branch of the Debian project. Most stuff has been debugged pretty well and whatnot. It's done that way so you can have a "stable" OS. If you want a new kernel and the latest KDE it's pretty simple to upgrade, just apt-get and such. apt is almost as good as emerge;) End standard Debian rant.
If you toss in Free DOS then I'd say a decent amount of/.ers use, or have a DOS sitting around somewhere. Why? Sure it's obsolete, but it's fun to mess with and tinker with new and different OSs. Even a piss-poor system with the/s pointing the wrong way.
A dead hero is still a hero. Sometimes even more so. People die fighting in wars and "peacekeeping missions", and still the military has no problem finding new recruits. Personally I would say that the exploration of space is a much more noble goal. Despite the setbacks and deaths that may occur, or perhaps in spite of them, we will continue to "reach for the stars".
We, (US), usually support coups, and try to install dictators in the democratic countries we don't like. Along with a very healthy amount of aid and arms. Going to war is a tad bit messier. Much better to work behind the scenes so the unwashed masses don't realize what's really going on. See the last 50+ years of US involvement in South and Central America, or Iran and Greece.
Shee-oot AC, that's like asking why my friend didn't just buy a Pocket PC or something instead of installing a P4 along with 15" flatscreen inside his truck. It's always the coolness factor.
Trolling with such a low UID... how sad. Your conclusion is no doubt partially right depending on the band, but have you never heard a Miles Davis concert? Or Coltrane? Most bands do indeed suck live, but that doesn't mean that they all do. Perhaps you should check out some of the many amazing live albums that are available.
The concept of multiple people listening to different music all throughout a nice large house is a bit tough to grasp for us basement-dwelling lonely./ reading geeks. An honest mistake I'm sure.
But why would you convert back and forth over and over? The downloads from the Phish site are commercial recordings and not for redistribution.
So your whole rant only applies to these specific FLAC downloads from livephish.com? You do know that they constitute just a tiny percentage of the lossless music files in circulation? I thought you were trying to show us why lossless compression was a stupid idea in general for the end-user... my mistake.
PLEASE NOTE: LivePhish.com is optimized for Internet Explorer 5 or later. You may experience problems with the web browser you are currently using. Please come back and visit us with Internet Explorer.
AFAIK you *cannot* download from livephish.com with anything other than IE. At least this was the case in late 2002 and since then I've been too pissed to see if they have changed. I can only hope my angry letters have made a difference. It seems they have in regards to FLAC vs. SHN at least. Although that was a no brainer if you think about it. Changing from IIS and IE specific code might be a bigger deal. Damn you nugs.net.

Does that also apply to "Um", and "Huh"?

That's why delpart is a nice little app to put on your *doze bootdisks. That way you can do it all the Windows way... for some reason.

Thanks for your work on Audacity. Much appreciated. As are all the advances made in open-source audio software. Especially for Linux.
And who do you think is going to have more missiles now, and in the long run? NK? When it rains...
