My experience with linux has been that it is rock solid, at least when matched to my decidedly non-determinist ic self. Maybe I just got lucky. I should mention that I haven't used linux in any depth or run it on personal machines since Mac OS X came out. But I remember 2.4 as being the most stable thing out there.
If there is really no 2.7.x branch, is there a 2.5.x branch still being developed? Not having a dev branch is a pretty huge departure from the methodology linux was supposed to be developed on. That sucks if it's really true. It sucks enough that I'd have to confirm it independently before I let it get me down. Is that really true, slashdot?
Does all current linux development take place on a stable branch, and are new features being added improperly there? There should be stories posted on it if that kind of misconduct going on. It's possible I just missed them all, but..
more likely, I am __guessing__ that there are no new features being developed in 2.6 and that there are a lot of bugs getting fixed. That 2.6 was branched from 2.5 a bit earlier than it maybe should have been, if it's really as unstable as you say. Check out 2.4 if you're having problems. It worked well for me.

But for the record, I was comparing it to Mac OS. It's the Gold Standard, at least from this user's perspective.
Uh, no. I have a cell phone that doesn't run windows at all. Just about every machine that runs windows was MADE to run windows, just as nearly every machine that runs MacOS runs MacOS. Only Linux, BSD, and other community-developed software (i.e. anything that has almost NO hardware that was MADE for it) tend to break those barriers.
It's the only way to recoup your costs and get a fair result. They should be put out of business for what they did to you and the internet - might as well take their money for yourself. I'd contribute to the legal fund much more readily if it was an ATTACK fund rather than simply a defense fund.
Well gee. Hotmail suddenly stops accepting mail from non-ms servers, and everybody will just be stuck, right?
Uh. Maybe the true die-hard MS-loyalists. But what about Yahoo mail? GMail? Spymac? Lycos? mail.com? bigfoot? hushmail? bolt? catchamail?
etc..
If MS already had a monopoly on email, this might be a good way to switch over other clients. But it looks like a ploy to make hotmail into a barren wasteland.
But.. educate yourself on what cookies do. They are no more executable than JPEGs. It's what the web servers on the other side do with them that may be objectionable.
I've been having a hard time finding used stuff on ebay too.. So is there some _other_ auction site that all the used sales have moved to?
Anyone?
I doubt we have a sudden shortage of used stuff.
It just might work.. Heh. I've NEVER seen a comment end up as underrated or overrated. Why is that? Are funny, insightful, troll, and the other ones we ever see just the dominant alleels(sic, probably)?
Congress shall make no law respecting the bounds of common sense.
C'mon guys, we've seen this a million times. The library thing makes the news, but it doesn't make the news that now they have the right to search left-handed people without a warrant. Or some other crazy shit.. This library thing is a big deal, but no law ever gets made without a ton of unrelated or, more ofter, directly counterproductive material written in.
Anyone know enough about this scene to give the lowdown on what they aren't reporting?

Luckily Art Bell is the most reliable and scientific source anywhere.
Dude, don't give away phase II!
Mod parent up. I think he has a point.
Good point.
So, re-apply my arguments to the devices and peripherals made for specific platforms.

Dude. You are so ironic.
I'm amazed that sun would bother to create a non-server machine (even if they call it a 'server-laptop' or some other such nonsense).
Why buy sun hardware these days when better unix-based OSs and better price-performance are available everywhere else?
GREAT point. Thank you.
Yeah, they would have figured out how to tax the dead.
Gee, it's lucky that's all changed now.

Why get free email that doesn't work?
Dude, I totally agree - Fuck Him.
But.. educate yourself on what cookies do. They are no more executable than JPEGs. It's what the web servers on the other side do with them that may be objectionable.
Heh.
Thank you for the explaination. I've always wondered about that.

Uh, the guy 3 posts up agrees with you on the Panasonic line, but says the 150 still has the 3 CCDs. He says he has one. Are you caling him a liar?
Great advice on d/ling the manual first, btw.
It just might work.. Heh.

Oh yes, and the US is now also a thriving nation and a respec..
oh.
Someone forward this to the Senate!
it says some metadata database wasn't compiled for ppc.

i always wondered about that. why the hell would anyone want a different keyboard layout only for modified keys?
