As soon as I have enough money I'll be buying a Bond car with rockets and mines. Lets see what happens when those 4x4 driving Mums cut me up now. Oh yes, vengeance will be mine! And when I get stopped by the police, I can just revolve my number plates and say, I didn't do it!;)

Upgrading your OpenSSL isn't as easy as it could be.
Any decent distribution will do this work for you. That's what they're for after all. My Debian box was updated no more than 24 hours after I read about the problem, requiring nothing more that an apt-get update on my part.
One of the reasons for the X-Prize is to encourage private space development. One of the side ffects of this will likely be more efficent earth to orbit transport. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen eventually..
You're lucky you didn't have to use ed. I had to use it once when I was stuck on a terminal that wouldn't support the vi on the system. It was very painful. It took me forever to find out how to quit the damn thing..;)
The most intesreting thing about this is that they are releasing another model. This must mean that they've made enough mondey from the previous model to justify it. Which must be a first for a Linux-based PDA. I have an Agenda, and while it was fun to play with for a while, it was way too slow to be useful. Obviously enough people think otherwise about the Zaurus.

Seeing as it's a UK company, I can't see how they'd give a shit if it didn't pass US safety requirements.
If I like an artist's music, I will buy the CD. I always have done. However, I have no Audio CD player at home, only the CDROM in my PC. So if all these news CD's coming out are not playable on my CDROM then I won't buy them. And I'll have to go elsewhere for my music. No prizes for guessing where...
Well, that's a grammatical error and shows a lack of understanding of the English language. Which can be excused for non-english speakers, but not for native speakers. Spelling mistakes are more often than not typos.
Grammatical errors just make me think the writer is stupid, and therefore the comment has little merit.

See the difference? No? Well you're (that's short for "you are") stupid then. Here endeth the pointless lesson.
I'm no expert on law by any means, but doesn't a website have to follow the laws in the country where its server is physically located?
I'm no expert either, but I think you're correct. That's the reason that Sealand is becoming popular as a host, since it has no such restrictve laws and is its own governing body.
... These include rushing releases to meet a deadline instead of holding back and making it truly stable.
And yet in the previous paragraph you complain that in Debian X 4.1 is maintained instead of moving to the latest release. Sorry, you can't have both. Either you put up with Debian's delyaed release cycle, with the end result of a stable and well maintained distribution, or you go with Redhat and all the problems that it has.
Again, I'll have to say I like it. I've tried various other package installers and none of them are as straightforwward and useful as dselect. Aptitude just doesn't cut it for me. Well, maybe I'm just wierd;)
I fail to see why this is any better than the standard text installation. Worse, it requires a graphical display, so you then enter the fb/X11 compatability issues. Whats wrong with a text installer? You're only going to be looking at it for say, an hour at the very most, right?
Does the graphical frontend actually offer any significant additions over the text one?
Several of the Xenophilia ones. Can't remember which ones though. I ran a talkback build so I sent the crash data that way. Haven't got time to file bugs atm I'm afraid.
Some of the themes I tried with GTK and Mozilla this morning crashed Mozilla on startup. Others were okay. I guess there are still a few bugs to work out there.
No, it doesn't. Kinetic watches use springs and weights. There's no reason that the same thing couldn't be used in a mouse. Theres no need for any mechanical contact with the desk.

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen Americans point out that the UK really needs a constitution. While I don't agree with what's happening, I find it somewhat ironic that your constitution isn't doing its job.
Not that I really think much of any government. Until we come up with something better we're stuck with them. They'll fuck you until you're dead, and then probably fuck you a bit more, just to make sure.
Yeah, some of us don't like the wd to appear in our prompt, thank you:-)
Saves checking the wd you're in before issuing some destructive command. It's always there in front of you. Another thing I do is make my root prompts bold red. This way they stand out like hell from the rest of the text, just to let me know I have my root hat on. =)
Automating some of the work that a Sysadmin has to do won't make them redundant. Theres always something else to do. And anyone trusting the system to work correctly on its own with no human overseeing it is just asking for trouble.
why don't they just carefully excavate into it from the outside, instead of going to all the touble of sending these robots in etc...
Let me get this straight. You want to explore one of the wonders of the world, by cutting fucking great holes in it?! Please tell me you're not a brain surgeon.

To have a safe network one needs to spread (duplicate) the information over several computer at several locations.

What a stunning idea. Perhaps they should call it the internet...

Being 100 pounds overweight has nothing to do with sitting down all day. It's more to do with being lazy. You can still exercise can't you?

Perhaps this is a bit exaggerated but I've simply experienced too many disappointments with software which does not exist yet.
Yeah, I've always had problems trying to get non-existant software to compile. Even when I do it never seems to run.
So Tommy Lee jones was right, that small disc he held *is* going to replace the CD someday... ;-)

They will have to be extremely aggressive if they would want folks like us to switch over.
Debian is a non-profit entity. It wouldn't matter to them if you switched or not, except maybe on a technical level.
