This isn't correct... if it were correct, I would not have spent so much time working on a custom Red Hat installer for XFS.:)
There is some XFS-aware code in the Red Hat Linux installer, but there is no kernel support or userspace tools available, so what you propose simply can't work.
However, SuSE, Mandrake, Gentoo, Slackware, and Debian (to some extent) do have XFS support.
the Bush administration has instead announced policy changes likely to push them up by 30 percent by 2010
That's a far cry from "The US agreed to 7%."
Well, I guess that's technically true - they did agree to it - they just didn't stick to that agreement. At least they're consistent - is there any treaty the US is still party to?
No... My subject was a direct quote from the submitter. He said "It runs linux and works." He didn't say it was fast - but he did say it works. Windows won't speed it up.
OTOH if MS is going to donate tons of equipment, and the thing will hang together, maybe. I had the impression that MS just wanted them to switch to Winders, no mention of new hardware.
An excellent explanation of antialiasing for LCDs can be found here, and a HOWTO for implementing this on Linux is here.
The screenshots in the article do look better than I have been able to achieve, though.

I agree with most of your post, but..
Judges get to where they are through being throughly qualified for the position, such as having a law degree and serving as a lawyer for a number of years.
That's not necessarily true, is it? If I donate enough to some politician, there's nothing to stop them from appointing my law-ignorant self to the bench, is there?

Slightly OT for this thread, but I was thinking of this last night - there must have been thousands of cell phones in the WTC. Some of them might still be attached to people who might be alive, and they might be sending a signal.
Can they get equipment to locate cell phones, and thereby locate bodies or (hopefully) survivors in the wreckage?
The only odd thing that I noticed was on CBS, where they seemed to cut to the White House too early, treating viewers to ~45 sec. of Dubya staring off into space,
Same thing, I think. Only the WB supposedly had the audio feed too.

Ok, perhaps this is flamebait, but I'm asking, because I think it has some relevance.
I read on the 'net that when "The WB" covered Bush's speech yesterday, there was a mic on that shouldn't have been. They claimed that they heard someone feeding lines to Bush during the first part of the speech - i.e. reading lines to Bush, Bush then repeating what he heard.
Anyone else see this? Or is it political FUD? It would explain his strangely halting delivery.
the distribution of Broadcast 2000 enhanced to unacceptable levels the risk of an individual experiencing significant financial damage due to the extremely expensive nature of high end video production and the high risk inherent in professional video business marketing.
Could they be more cryptic? Get your Mandrake SRPM while you can, I guess.
My silly little perl script, "SAMBRU" (SAMsung Backup and Restore Utility) can pull data out of a samsung 6100/8500 Sprint PCS phone, and save it in vcard format, which can then be read into gnome-card, which can then be exported to your Pilot... I always wanted to write a palm app to do it directly, never got around to it.
Generally, when something like Code Red shows up, someone asks about exploiting the same flaws to patch up the systems, rather than proliferate the virus. That's when people chime in about how that would be immoral.
But if virii are opportunistic, and your average internet/Windows user is a babe in the woods, why not do what we do with our real children - innoculate them before they can be harmed?
Ok, so maybe that's an elitist approach, but the other stance - "don't do anything to their system without their permission" - has brought us Code Red et al.
If MS won't plug the holes, why shouldn't the internet at large look after it's own?
Wisconsin... now why does that ring a bell... oh yes, that's where Thommy Tompson - the strongly pro-life, yet strangely pro-stem-cell research Secretary of Health and Human Services, used to be governor. Surely it's not about the money?
Anyone remember the Kosmic Free Muic Foundation mod which was a remix of a Tribe Called Qwest track? It was really cool... Can't remember what it was called though. Anyway, it's a cool idea, but it's nothing terribly new... just sanctioned now, I guess.:)

One thing it doesn't have,though, is the ability to print your checks directly onto blank check paper - you have to have a pre-printed (but un-filled-out) check.
I have a GPL'd program at http://lager.dyndns.org/freecheck/index.html that does this first part (make a blank check from REALLY blank check paper) - I'd love to see it integrated, but it's a perl/postscript mix, and GnuCash uses gnome-print, I believe...
I'm sure that by now you're tired of hearing corporate-speak about Linux projects, but I want to reassure you about XFS for Linux.
I'll preface this by saying that I cannot actually speak for SGI, but I can tell you my impressions as an employee and an XFS for Linux developer.
I sat in on a teleconference yesterday, and from everything I know, XFS for Linux is not going away. Yes, there were staff reductions, but SGI is still funding XFS for Linux, it is still very much an alive project. I hope so, I was hired to work on it, and I'm moving across the country for this job in 1 week.:)
Since linux-xfs seems to be slashdotted, here's the post from Steve Lord:
So, yes, SGI had layoffs yesterday, and yes the XFS on linux project took a hit because of this. However, we do intend to keep working on XFS linux, and I do intend to work really hard to get it into the distributions and Alan and Linus's kernels. It will take us a little while to regroup our efforts and to work out our priorities on the project, hence my message yesterday. We appear to be building momentum in the community right now, and the last thing we need is less people to do the work, but financial realities tend to take precedence in these situations.
(Testimonial about the great jobs done by Russell Cattelan and Martin Petersen edited).
Here's a followup post from our marketing person, Yi Li:
Just to add to Steve's comment, I am responsible for product managament on XFS Linux, which is continuing as before.
We are really glad to see the growing interest and momentum on XFS Linux within the community, and we appreciate very much the time and effort from
XFS users.
SGI is committed to the XFS open source project, as in our other open source projects. We will be maintaining XFS on IA32 as well as developing XFS for IA64 as before.
So, to the person who offered to take over the project, thanks, but that's really not what we need right now.:) Just keep testing XFS, submit crystal-clear bug reports, and we'll do our best to deliver a world-class journaling filesystem for Linux.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm sure alsa does lots of cool things, but I never got past the fact that with the oss drivers, I could:
:) WTFIUWT?
$ modprobe es1370
and away I went.
With ALSA, I could load 15 or twenty drivers, and even if I managed to pick all the right ones, the damn things were muted by default!
So.. maybe a howto is a good thing. But why is it so damn complex that it requires a howto?
Sure, maybe use it in a Echostar DishPVR 721? :)

Ok, you have a solution in place. It works. Some sales guy wants you to change your solution that works.
Make him convince you that the time and cost of the switch is going to gain you something.
Does your current setup not do what you need it to do?
The only difference between the accounts is that the one she divulged to Borders received more spam; therefore Borders sold her address
You're missing part of it.
She says "I created email accounts on hotmail and yahoo, and used one to order from borders.com"
Then she says yahoo and borders don't sell email addresses. (Hotmail is conspicuously absent from this statement.)
What she didn't say is WHICH email service she used for this account. Dollars to donuts it was hotmail.
I assume that hotmail is hacked daily, just to harvest the email addresses.
I think you can create a hotmail account, do NOTHING with it, come back in a week, and read your spam.

According to this Washington Post article, Cheney's son-in-law is now running the MS case.
For my samsung phone, I wrote a perl script that tried about 500,000 ATXXXXX commands and kept track of which ones didn't return "ERROR" :)
I used "strings" on some windows binaries to find good starting places of AT strings to try on the phone. (i.e. ATPAAA throught ATPZZZ, etc.).
