While I wouldn't put Eminem in the same level talent-wise as Led Zepplin or the Beatles, to say he's a no-talent is a bit of a stretch. I'm generally a fan of rap music created before 1995 or so, but I think his latest songs (especially "Lose Yourself" generally show a "flow" that's hard to explain or quantify to someone not a fan of the genre (and contrary to what some high-brow music fans think, rap *is* music - try reading about the history of it sometime).
And who is Redhat to decide this? They can do whatever they want to their distro, it's theirs. But I'll be damned if they choose what happens to everyone else.
Funny...I'm running the RH beta now, & I can still choose between KDE & Gnome (thanks to switchdesk, or by editing ~/.Xdefaults) and even neither (console or icewm). So what choices has Red Hat denied me?
Knowing that Red Hat is intentionally hiding some of KDE's features from the users *is* important.
Would you care to explain exactly which KDE features are hidden? I'm using (null) now, and other than the theming I do not see any differences (I still can access the KDE control center to change my settings for example).
The gist I get is that they've broken up, & apparently Jive/RCA (divison of BMG now I think) 0wns a lot of their master recordings (which are probably sitting in a vault somewhere).
I've had a problem building mozilla 1.1 with gcc 3.2, it seems that the jre plugin will *not* work (I've tried building mozilla with the --enable-old-abi-compat-wrappers tag, still doesn't work). Any ideas?
I always thought that the proper name of the medal was simply Medal of Honor (like the video game), not "Congressional" Medal of Honor (who else issues a Medal of Honor besides Congress?). However, I can't google a site to confirm this. Anyone know for sure either way?
I don't mind registering for the Wash. Post (after all, it's local to me & my father worked as a press operator there for almost 30 years). However, apparently mozilla has a problem with the new format (even after registering, when going to some pages either you get a blank page or it continuously tries to connect). I wrote them - I received a reply that mozilla wasn't supported (changing the User-Agent in konqueror to IE allowed me access, and I pointed that out in my re-reply).
There are several go-go bands listed at mp3.washingtonpost.com (it's an acquired taste - you really have to be from DC to "get it"). Funny - when I was younger people generally swapped go-go tapes...this pre-dates p2p by at least 10 years.
Where can I find a good one? I've just set up a stratum 2 time server & it would be nice to have one in case someone actually goes to the URL (and I could put a link to www.ntp.org as well).
What ftpd daemon are/were you using? ProFTPD can limit the number of connections per host (I set my limit to 2 so people could use a bwoser to see what's on the server & an FTP client to do the download).
Anyone out there from Red Hat listening? If so, why not put the important stuff on CD1, & have something next to the packages saying which CD they are on? Or even making it possible to install from CD 1 & if there's anything you selected that wasn't on the CD, you can download it after the initial install?
Yes, I know Verizon is evil, but they have one redeeming quality: Call Intercept.
Basically, if you get an unlisted or anonymous phone call, the caller has to say their name *before* the call goes through. It gets electronically recorded & then repeated back to whoever answers the phone. The answerer then has the option to accept the call or hang up. Why not something similar for cell phones? Mine already has Caller ID, this wouldn't be a stretch (and I would gladly pay extra for this feature).
So I'm imagining things going into different directories (granted, most of the time under/usr/local but there are exceptions) when I compile/install from a tarball?
Slashdot Mirror
Try heating up a straight pin (like the ones tailors use) with a match, then applying it to the tick. Safer & less cumbersome than a soldering iron.
Just build mplayer statically - should solve dep problems (it would use more memory, but not significantly I would think).
*thinking* What's a muffuletta?
(googles it)
Some sort of sandwichy thing
mmmm....muffuletta
Um, what were we talking about again?

Wouldn't Harry Potter be considered fantasy rather than sci-fi?
I thought Japan used NTSC as well?
Excuse me for not remembering properly, but weren't the Tron characters simply actors in funky outfits?
Road Runner = Time Warner Cable (the Road Runner character is owned by TW...get it?)

Not anymore :). Looks like American-style (real) football & women's basketball are now more important :).

Note the interesting list of partners.
The site www.ibiblio.org is running Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_perl/1.27 mod_fastcgi/2.2.12 PHP/4.0.6 on Linux.
No idea of what ftpd daemon ftp.ibiblio.org runs, I get the same response looking up the ftp server in netcraft.

Doesn't NTP compensate for network latency?
Yes you will get something from those two price-gouging bastards... one big price-gouging bastard :(.
