How about just using Red Hat or Fedora (or Ubuntu or Gentoo for that matter)? I don't see the point of using a distro that bites off another without contributing back in a significant way.
Seriously, as it stands I barely notice the government tracking machines that follow me around. Now they're going to be invisible?! I can't keep up. *stomps tinfoil hat in disgust*
Ah, you're right. Thank you Microsoft for your great work in promoting standards.

Google is bravely doing fantastic thing with client-side programming...something many websites have given up on because of cross-browser incompatibility. My money is definitely on Google being very aggressive with Mozilla/XUL based on this work. That's going to be good times!
The venue I'm writing in? *looks around* Hey, it's the internet! search engines, indexing, it never forgets, the whole thing. Maybe I read that wrong, but it seemed like you feel free to be flippant because this is Slashdot...is that right?
Heh, funny, but the apathy thing was a 90's phenomenon. Now, the kids are *actively* seeking restricted rights and are simply not equipped to feel safe and remain free. Damn kids.
This is probably the only book of this genre that I really felt good about having read. The idea of getting everything little thing you have to do written down, filed, and out of your head is very useful. Well, what was I about to do...
Very important idea you bring up. I would add that this principle becomes very evident when you are the topic of an article. My bet is that anyone who makes the news with some regularity is highly skeptical of the contents in the morning paper.
As a former science reporter, I can tell you that scientists are often loathe to explain their work even though publicity is good for them. They just know you're going to misrepresent it your trying not to.
The management people interested in hiring previously malacious hackers are barking up the wrong tree. Shady hacking isn't necessarily smarter hacking. Demonstrating successful security skills, for example, is no less impressive than breaking into a system.
When will Microsoft just say, "Oh look, honest interoperability is easier than wrestling for control all the time"? Could that happen? It just makes sooo much sense.
The Syracuse article was very poorly reasoned and presented. Nonetheless, it is true that allowing anyone to edit leads to a _certain_ kind of credibility degradation.
The point of Wikipedia is that it allows a _certain_ kind of credibility enhancement that formal sources cannot offer. The credibility comes from the concept of many hands and eyeballs doing the work. You know, cathedral vs. bazaar--it's amazing how the analogy extends.
I hope Google really is, as the rumors state, going to go nuts creating grid-type apps for general consumption. I have no idea what they might do, but it will bode well for Linux. Now, how's Windows doing in the grid field?
Slashdot Mirror
FWIW, that appears to be 100% grammatically correct. Don't be a comma hater.
Dude, his whole point is that the KERNEL should be called Linux and a system built on it should be called GNU/Linux. So, no, it's not too funny.

NPR and PRI are separate entities. NPR is a much larger organization and is certainly not a "member" of PRI.

So, you're going to be an official agitator, then? Open Source is fine, but perhaps you have some nice things to say about Free Software?

Sometimes it seems like even Google's wonderful AdWords program is fragile...especially it's business model.
As soon everyone figures out Google's text ads, *are* ads, Web advertising will get kicked down another notch.
Text ad blindness can't follow too far behind banner blindness, can it?
What are you talking about?

This really should have been a front-page article. The magazine looks really nice and has good articles in it. Disclaimer: I wrote one of them.
Robin Williams has several great design books that help the beginner. This one is really good...so are the others.
I actually think that cover is elegant.

Let's not be disingenuous here. After all, who sucks on silverware as a precursor to ejaculation?

I second this. It's great and fits in with everything you expect on your shiny Gnome desktop. Let's hope it stays that way!

In stark contrast to other industrial products, software has no natural repurchase cycle.
That sentence is a major reason Free and Open Source software are becoming status quo.
