I was having problems with GMC's MIME associations since RedHat 6.1 (I know Red Hat tweaks their packages, but I like sticking with packages from the distro vendor since they tend to work better). Submitted bug reports too. Nothing ever happened though. They just kept reassigning the tickets. I gave up when I found Nautilus took care of it better. But you're right about Nautilus being slow.
It seems I broke a rule at sourceforge which limits file sizes to 100MB. Therefore, they stopped access. This is not anything againt sourceforge. If I would have uploaded the cd-rom image correctly (to the right server)y, they would have been able to distribute the load of the thousands of downloads.
I never anticipated so many people would try to download it!
Sorry about that, check the site again soon, I'll have it set up correctly then.
I'd like to emphasize that this is of no fault of sourceforge, it's my fault for uploading the image to the webserver instead of properly uploading it so that it is downloaded by their cluster of download servers.
Thanks,
Chad

That's what he was saying. RHN even runs as a serivce (you don't need to log in and run it manually). Ximian RedCarpet needs a X+Gnome to be run interactively by a user. There's no command line, interactive or as a service.
That's an interesting pair of comparisons you make. I've always thought that KDE was striving to be the Windows of Linux, and the last Ximian Gnome I tried reminded me strongly of the MacOS interface.
The movie is rated R. I saw it last night, there is no way this was targeted for 13 year olds. The opening scene has was of the female leads masturbating with a vibrator watching She's All That on scrambled cable.
I think he was saying that after the sex is over, after the partners have gone separate ways, the one partner can decide it was rape, without ever having told you no.
speed comes from how many operations can be performed per second
Don't forget to take into account what you can accomplish per operation. Sure one architecture has the same number of cycles at half the frequency, but if the other architecture takes fewer operations to perform the same tasks, then it's faster. I think it's useless to try and compare different architectures. Just go with the one that works for you.
the *nix enviroment hasn't yet been able to cultivate & propagate any really serious viruses yet
I suppose that worm that almost brought down the internet way back when wasn't really a serious virus because nobody lost their drive full of mp3/porn/quicken files. Unix has had plenty of time to cultivate serious viruses. It was just designed better than the platforms that have the widely publicized problems. Of course it still has holes, but they are harder to exploit becuase of the multiuser nature (most apps aren't run as root, so they don't propagate as easily or destroy as much data). Why do you think Mac and Windows are gravitating to unix beneath the GUI? The NT kernel has been implementing plenty of new stability and multiuser features that Unix has enjoyed for years, and Mac is Unix under the GUI, no pretense of innovation there.
I'd like to start by saying at it's heart ClearCase is just a version control system. You can still use whatever build system you like. It does have it's own make systems, with their own pros and cons, but you don't have to use them.
The effectiveness of ClearCase depends on the quality of the implementation. The tool is just too flexible to evaluate it en masse. Successfully implementing ClearCase for your project takes a ClearCase guru. Setting up the project poorly can make it a "productivity virus." If the project is set up well it shouldn't be any more cumbersome than CVS, but it will offer more features.
I haven't tried any of the other browsers you mention, but my favorite cookie feature in mozilla is you can have them expire when your session is over. So I can enable cookies for the originating site, and they all go away quietly when I'm done.
I transfered a couple from NSI to Gandi and it was fairly painless. The new registrar you choose should have instructions on how to transfer your domain to them, and as part of the process, NSI should contact you to verify it. I had a bitch of a time getting NSI to do things, but they kept pace on the domain transfer. Check out this site for a review of registrars that includes ratings of their terms of service (privacy and who owns the domain). Gandi is currently ranked first for legal policies. =D
It's called Playstation 2. Sony sells a kit that includes a 40 gig hd, a network adapter, and a linux distro. It's not availalble in the US yet though.
IBM was under the antitrust gun for a number of years, until Reagan came in and said it was stupid and expensive. So ultimately it was mostly the market righting itself. Similar to what Bush did with Microsoft.

I can just see MS asking SGI about the thrid dimension....
SGI: okay, take an ordinary square
MS: slow down there egghead.

KDE X (pun: OS X) and GNOME XP (pun: Windows XP)

I didn't say it wouldn't interest 13 year old boys, I just said it's not the target audience (at least not legally).
their audience, a bunch of 13yr olds

TiVo also patented 'a simple and reliable method for connecting TiVo DVRs and other streaming media devices to a network in the home,'
Other things like ethernet webcams already do this
Show me one ethernet webcam that connects TiVo DVRs to a network.
