This point seems to be forgotten in every discussion brought up involving AOL. There are two protocols that AIM can use, the proprietary one that AOL's Windows Clients use (and M$ insists on using, hence their being kicked off of it), and the TOC protocol, which is the open-source equivalent. The reason that GAIM users are currently being kicked off is that they were recently given the option in the configuration setup to choose which protocol to use, and chose the proprietary one, which is an unauthorized connection. If you switch back to TOC, which is the default in such OSS programs as TiK, you won't have any problems connecting. How is it that this point is fore-gone during every IM discussion? I really don't know.
I regularly get everything I could possibly be looking for at Newbury Comics for $11 or $12 brand-spanking-new, as compared to the horrific prices at Tower Records or the like. I'd be interested in hearing a few more of the specifics.
Damn shame, to say the least. All the great idols are slowly fading to black.

Linux And HP-UX?

but why would you want to? The MKLinux project has had a lot of problems in the past, and when the other option is HP's UNIX, there's really no reason to switch. Sure, it might not stand up as well to Digital UNIX or Solaris, but it has all the qualities of a professional UNIX, and I think you'd be severely disappointed if you went with MKLinux. Just my $0.02.
I believe you meant "Watch for impending Hotmail collapse" as M$ tries to shift the load over to another OS. Really guys, your title contradicted your posting.
Any yahoo can download and patch the kernel source for ReiserFS support. The problem comes with not having a viable method to install onto a newly formated ReiserFS partition through a RedHat install procedure. This is what people are looking for, not generic kernels that run on ReiserFS (though this would need to be part of the install, of course).
Will RedHat consider an install disk that supports this from the start? Those RedHat-Reiser disks really don't get the job done, and I'd like to be able to use ReiserFS from the get-go.
RedHat kicks Mandrake's ass into next week, but I don't think I can go back to a system without ReiserFS in the install? Is this going to be in the installation? Those RedHat-Reiser bootdisks really don't cut it.
You're basing your opinion of a distro on how well it upgrades from one version to another? All the distros I've ever used, FreeBSD included, have warned against upgrading, as many use a brute-force method and are not advisable. Do what everyone else does: back up your important files and install from scratch. This also has other benefits, such as the ability to try out new filesystems in the process (ReiserFS under Mandrake 7.1). You really should re-evaluate your basis for opinions. Except for a couple of issues with terminals settings and a few strange defaults, Mandrake is really the hottest thing under the sun.
Check this out. I've had it working flawlessly for a while now. There isn't much out there that isn't more proven or secure than ssh. Give it a try, it's the best of what's out there.
that every single one of you is replying without having read the article? The site was down when the article showed up on LinuxToday earlier (nice credit Slashdot, yet again not crediting articles and pretending you found them). Seriously, if you're going to say something uneducated, at least make it about the topic at hand and not something you pretended you read.
Is it just me, or do those look suspiciously like something seen in the Mario Brothers movie? I hope they don't hold a patent on this, things could get really ugly.
The problem that arises is when children are taught at the elementary level that computers can do all the work for them. Case in point: why would we ever need to know mathematics when we can pull out a calculator and have it do all the work for us? If computers are introduced at too early an age, the students won't learn how any of the material works themselves, only that a machine can do the work for them. This is viewed as highly detrimental by most of the scholastics community.
The site that this is a mirror of, ftp.fsn.hu, is a very nice high-speed mirror of both unofficial OpenBSD 2.7 ISOs and the official (md5-checked) FreeBSD 3.5 ISO. I immediately dropped my connections to Walnut Creek CDROM and fire up this one, and it's roaring away now. Best of luck.
...has anyone seen the new Speakeasy.net DSL ad that's been floating at the top of Slashdot recently? It's f'ing awesome. Advertising at its best: http://www.speakeasy.net/refer/w/metslash/ That's the funniest thing I've seen all day.
is that it'll revolutionize the electronic music scene, but at the same time be almost completely unnoticable. Think about it, how hard is it to make a plugin for it for XMMS or take a rockin' encoder like GOGO and adjust the algorithm? Yet at the same time, it'll strive for the freedom that many of us seek in software these days. Keep up the great work, guys.
I think the comment about Tru64 was the most outlandish thing I've heard all week. Tru64 UNIX is a mature, stable, and reliable OS, only to be matched by Solaris. We won't be seeing the end of it anytime soon.
Not hardly. I've had a DivX copy of Total Recall, among other movies, sitting on my hard drive for about 3 months and been playing them with Media Player for that long. I'm surprised it took the mainstream media this long to pick up on it.
Look, I love open source as much as the next guy, but the fact is that Windows still runs on 90% of the world's desktops. So would that make this kinda like DVD, which is officially limited to Windows. Hell, that never caught on, it's a dead technology. How about.asf format? That's out the door. Come on, you can be a zealot all you want, just make some sense with it.
The specs on the GeForce look nice, but I find the 3dfx benchmarks quite questionable. I installed X4.0 by wiping/usr/X11R6 clean and using a standard RPM install, followed by an RPM install of the Glide 3.x drivers. Quake 3 worked out of the box, and my framerates have been approximately 20% higher. I'm curious as to exactly how he configured his card and whether he was in fact using the correct drivers. This seems a bit odd. I've only heard good things about the improvements using the Voodoo3 cards from a number of people.
It's an interesting story and all, but so much for unbiased reporting. I think Apple's innovation ranks right up there with Microsoft's, except that they don't try to squash whomever they steal from. Either way, I wanna try one out. =)

Damn man, you must be drained. That's almost one and a half cats there, for christ's sake.
It'll make up for all those people that never pay for Windows once ;-).
