That's just MagicLinux Control panel from kde-apps.org. Yoper didn't "steal" any icons from anyone. You should be having that discussion with the author of the app.
Let's talk friend, I've been using Yoper, along with several other distros for a few years now, I remember the nonsense that went on when the forums were slashdotted the first time. A large group of slackware users/fans decided to flame the admin repeatedly on the forums. Those "belligerent" responses were a direct result of that.
Yoper can install packages from a couple different sources,.tgz,.rpm, and has support for apt and emerge. Would you try installing debs on a SUSE system and expect it to always work? That's the essence of what Andreas was saying in that post you're talking about. Most packages DO install just fine on yoper. Apt works great in Yoper as well, there's a large repository and more packages are added daily, I don't know about it breaking apt, I've installed some "ecletic" stuff without breaking apt, so I don't know on that one.
Source was always available, just not always downloadable.
There are some problems with it, it's a "relatively" new distro, most things work great, you have to fix a dependency here and there, make a symlink or two now and then. I'm not a guru by any means and I haven't run into any problems I can't solve with a little googling and forum searching.
Give the little guy a chance!
BTW, Andreas is the guy behind the distro, english was not his first language (cut the site some slack) and he's a programmer, not a Public Relations Rep.
I think you're forgetting that since Earth was destroyed before the final question was computed it was said that a partial answer would be ingrained in Arthur's brain. Thus instead of the question being "What is six times seven?" He drew letters out of a hat and got "What is six times nine?"
Seeing the brutality being committed against the Wookies sends young officer Solo over the brink, in jumping ship, he rescues Chewbacca from slavery, thus Chewie feels he owes Han a life-debt, which is later extended by Chewie to Leia, Luke, and Han and Leia's children.
Shoulda happened in the Corillian sector, who knows, it really just needs to be on a spacecraft of some kind to fit the story line.
Speaking as a camp counselor, each week, there would be one or two kids who knew this worked. (Works on all disposies) By the end of the week, everyone (at least all the guy campers) were doing it for fun and profit. Most annoying thing ever!
However, try this at home, 1. Gather a group of friends in a really dark room, 2. Have them all look at your face 3. Make a funny face 4. Flash yourself with the camera, instruct your friends to squeeze their eyes shut as soon as they see the flash.
I played the treeloot tree bingo game for an afternoon years ago, won some tree points and apparently bought a stuffed monkey from them. I forgot all about it until a few months later when the monkey arrived.
Now the monkey with boxing gloves and shorts and a treeloot logo sits atop my monitor and keeps me company when I post to slashdot.
Ahh X-wings boast 4 laser cannon and two front mounted photon torpedo tubes, two x-wings would match it if it had 8 turbolasers.
Did anyone else read his background on the ship. He's calling it a super-star destroyer, saying it's the one Vader hunted down Leia's Corillian Corvette with in ANH, this is incorrect, Vader grabbed Leia in an "Imperial Class Star Destroyer" The older, smaller versions were called "Victory Class Star Destroyers" and were only a half kilometer long. The "Super Class Star Destroyer" you see plunging into the second death star in ROTJ is Vader's Capital ship and is close to 5 kilometers in length.
It probably won't stick, but Bravo! I'm tired of watching the RIAA offer to settle with people regardless of guilt. By agreeing to settle many people look guilty and add fuel to the RIAA's fires.
I donwloaded and installed Mdk10 test 2 the other night, it's nice, but it's slow. I'd imagine because it hasn't been optomized yet. Still, it's going to be a sweet distro.
This has been fixed in Winamp5, along with everything looking tinted one color or another in certain videos. I ran into those problems with winamp3 and the same videos play perfectly on WA5 beta.
Now fall in line like a good boy and download it! =)
The Heinlein I've always enjoyed has been his youth novels, geared towards teens, Space Cadet (first I ever read) Have spacesuit will travel, Farmer in the sky, The Rolling Stones.
Try those out, they're light reads and fun. Don't listen to people on/. trying to tell you an author is good or bad, read some of their work and decide for yourself. That's better then a thousand reviews.
The company I work for also regularly removes a large amount of dead cable during recabling. The old cable looks bad, it can be very hard to work around, I guess it's a fire-risk (Most places where this is an issue have fireblock squirted into the conduit to prevent the cable jackets from spreading a fire past a firewall)
And it's just that much fun to cut old twinx with a pair of shears =)
"old solid-core CAT5" is actually just wall grade CAT5, it's not old, it's still in use, it's not designed to be flexed and bent a lot, as you described it will break.
Patch cables use a different kind of CAT5 that has all those little fibers of copper inside each pair.
Which is just one more reason not to make your own patch cables out of wall cable.
Hate to be anal about this one...they pump water in from Northern California Resivoirs, we get to send LA our water because too many SoCalites are breeding down there.
Thanks for the info on rooting those things, played with them a lot and they're neat. We got Knoppix running, stock version ummm 3.?, it was slower than molassases!!! But it worked, I think we had to tell it to use TWM instead of its default WM. But the really fun part was running OpenOffice 1.0.1 on it!!!! LOL we timed that one with a calander.

We deployed about 50 of the NIC's at our schools through a grant we got them for free. After playing with them and maintaining them for over a year here are my impressions.
1. Yes they're a bit slow, they have to load everything off CD, however if you use the included software it's very much usable. They run Netscape as the UI and have Abiword, Netscape, KIT (aim client) telnet, ssh, vnc, citrix utilities, and probably a few others I'm forgeting.
2. Setup was a breeze, pop in the admin cd, click through a few screens and its on the network ready to run. Total time, roughly 5 minutes.
3. You don't have to worry about kids messing them up, there's nothing for them to mess up aside from physically scratching a cd or dropping one on the floor.
4. They do die, we've had ~4 out of 50 bite the dust, mainly it has been the 4mb flash hard drives going out.
6. With a little more RAM and a faster CPU, they'd make excellent Internet stations, something like an Internet Cafe would be great with these. If you close the browser, a new one pops up in seconds, it's customizable, just roll a new CD with apps of your choice.
They're neat little Boxes and it's a pity they've gone under. Sun didn't buy them, they sponsored the company and gave them to schools under a grant (can't remember the name)
I'll admit I know very little about remote desktop and assistance, so if you're happy in your assurance that it's 100% secure and can never be cracked more power to you, I hope you sleep well at night.
As for your claim that XP passwords are secure, hmmm, well, I'd agree with you but I just can't. You see, I work for a large network, and we DO use strong passwords as policy, and that site I pointed you to above does a great job from anywhere in your network grabbing user names and passwords from a 2000/xp box, an NT workstation, your PDC if you're still using one (we are) any of your servers, or from the AD controller.
Years of my life, sheesh, how about a boring weekend? This is also true if you have SYSKEY installed, Physical access? Nah, maybe to the network, oh, what's that?? You have wifi in your network, ok, I just need to be close to your network.
If you want to claim your network is secure using microsoft products, hell if you want to claim it's secure using anything, be my guest, have a nice life.

Fenchurch had the whole question in her mind.

So like Jerry Springer, but with geeks?

You are correct Suh! (southern accent)
I shifted my data to the left a bit on that one.
However this ship is no Super Class Star Destroyer,
It's not the Star Destroyer you're looking for,
You may go about your business,
move along....
