The difference being that the Segway eats 6 battery packs in 7.6mi and the motorcycle can walk that with the gas inside a Zippo.
Segway: useless tech for senseless people.
Considering that to be "Fair Trade" certified, coffee should be bought to farmers at a minimum(sp?) of $1.26 per pound
(see here) and normal selling price goes for $0.50 per pound... it's possible.
But even if it's "Fair Trade" it's still quite unfair to me if the farmers only gets ~13% (in the case of $10/pound) of sale price...

It's my view that the industry has decided there is one main operating system competitor to Microsoft, and that is Linux. Linux means two companies: Red Hat and SuSE, and nobody else. There will be no third distribution that will be supported by the large IT vendors.
This kind of polarization is usual behaviour when you have several smaller opponents, as a example: political parties in "non-bipartidist" systems use it frequently.
This is exactly what i though when i read the previous watercooling story... heatpipes are quieter!
From the images you can see 6 pipes for the processor and 2 pipes for the graphics card both taking the heat out to a bigger surface to dissipate: the case which is a huge heatsink!
What i don't understand is the cooling for the harddrive... they put 10 pipes running from one side to other of the drive, they seem to cool the cdwriter too with that, but it's strange to me since the pipes seem to get heat from the middle, (instead of from an end to transfer to the other end) anyone with more data (i.e. readed the article in german) care to explain?
a) Ham is only useful in:
- disasters
- unpopulated areas w/o internet connectivity or cellphone coverage or satellite communication coverage
b) The rest of uses of ham radio falls under the description of hobby.
- When a disaster happens the first to go out is power, so no problem with interferences here.
- The unpopulated areas which comply requisites of such isolation are unlikely to have power coverage!
So, no problem! Benefits of broadband over power lines overweight by some orders of magnitude the ham radio usefulness.
Linux users, for example, needed 44.5 minutes to perform a set of tasks, compared with 41.2 minutes required by the XP users.
Not bad for a zero cost WM+OS compared to another that costs one eye and part of the other.
One group consisted of 60 users aged 25 to 55 with computer skills but no prior experience with Linux or Windows XP
No exp with winXP, but with older Winblows versions? If KDE had the same marketshare as Winblows i bet that users would be totally used to it and equally fast.
Slashdot Mirror
Let me add to your words that:
- QT is made by Trolltech
- QT is GPL'd
- ergo QT can be forked any day
So no problem for KDE here.
If parent.parent has any problem with Canopy owning Trolltech, why doesn't he buy it?
Only if you included the letters F, U and D, which are SCO's intellectual property.

Think about it.
That guy is no longer in the SCO page
...people at SCO read Slashdot!!
That can only mean...
Let's greet them:
- I myself would like to show all my support to you in the case you're committing ritual suicide soon. Have a nice day!

besides what happens when someone pop's in the cd and fdisks the hard drive?

++linux_users;
ok, ok, i'll stop dreaming awake now.

He's getting paid to write the kernel, paid by OSDL, more info here.

I think you meant to write "Say agur to Apple if you want to play games"
didn't Linus said that 2.6 was being released when x86 code was stable?
And other archs maybe would have to wait some minor versions?
Considering this and the graph predictions, my guess is 3-4th week of September.
It's a daily list of verified defacements...
Yesterday was 61% linux, today seems 100% win2000.
Worthless statistics.
Would be better to know what are the numbers in, lets say, a year.
Anyone know the url to this data? Or better a mirror, seems the site is under huge load.

128+4...
That's like 132 isn't it?
From the FAQ:
KASY0's configuration is:
128 + 4 "cold spare" PC nodes, each containing:
One AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (the 2.075GHz version)
One 512MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM
BioStar M7VIT Pro motherboard
Two Linksys LNE100TX NICs

18 BenQ SE0024 24-port Fast Ethernet switches
405 Cat5 Fast Ethernet cables
RedHat Linux 9.0, modified Warewulf 1.11
So it's 128, the other 4 are spares!
- Casio sues them for trademark infringement?
- SCO asks them 92268$ worth of licenses and/or sues them for copyright infringement?
- KFK sues em for patent infringement? (you know, "the method to fry one billion chicken flaps (GFLAPS) for under 100$ with AMD processors")

How can they tell? Wouldn't it be better to sedate one and get a blood sample? They took pictures of him but couldn't think about sedating it?
Holy shit Batman!

Have any national governments taken measures to subsidize open source projects?
China?
Don't know for sure, but it would be a clear candidate to subsidize
Another case is Germany paying for that KDE project... how was it kalled? Kroupware? But that's not subsidizing...
