Yeah, but just imagine if you lived on the east coast, like in, say, NYC. Just imagine what a tsunami, let's say because of global warming, could do there, combined with a few other natural disasters.
Deal with it, while you are running a wanna-be RISC workstation, and a wanna-be UNIX kernel, the rest of us are going to get the fastest CISC workstations,
You do realize that in hardware, intel does the implementation with RISC, I hope...it translates the CISC instructions to RISC, then executes the RISC ones.
Because RISC is faster most of the time, due to pipelining and all that jazz.
I'm using it to refer to how they utilize copyright as a way to lock out independent music from the radio. Payola. Price fixing. Screwing over the artists. Brainwashing the populace by a massive FUD campaign.
Our founding fathers weren't thinking of that.

So wait a minute, you want to merge Gentoo, possibly the 1337est distro this side of Roll Your Own Linux, with Fedora, the newbest distro this side of Lindows? How the hell do you propose that? How are you going to merge the 'now click on the packages you'd like to install' graphical-ness of Fedora with the command line install with a 60 page install guide neccesary for even a Level 3 Gentoo install?
What's next, Steve Jobs introducing a cheap...wait, scratch that, bad example.
...
What's next, we find out that Longhorn is actually all CLI and no GUI?
Anyway, as someone who's installed Fedora Core 2, 3, and Gentoo on the SAME MACHINE 3 TIMES EACH (well, 2 for Gentoo) in the past week, (Fedora can't autodetect my stuff very well:-\) Gentoo and Fedora are like apples and oranges.
...I need to get a Palm for one of my classes this semester, and was thinking along the same lines. I just need something cheap, I already have an iPod, so I don't need mp3 capability, stuff like wifi would be nice, but I don't really NEED it...
I was considering the PalmOne Zire21. Anyone know if/how well these work with Linux? Someone suggested LinuxDevices.com, and I couldn't find anything about it on there.

It also has to do with the fact that OSX is really picky about its RAM...sometimes it won't recognize non-Apple branded RAM very well, or so I've heard.
This is true. However, I guess what I really meant (heck, I pointed out YDL to someone else in this discussion) was that with x86, I could dual boot Linux for usual use and Windows for games...I'd like to play HL2, for instance, but that's not gonna be an option if I get a Mac.
Yes, I know there's lots of good Mac games, yadda, yadda, I've been using Macs since the Plus.
Even though this is very anecdotal evidence, EV and EV: Override and EV: Nova are awesome. EV: Override is the only shareware I've ever paid to register...
Well, I'll be able to help you. See, I know how to 'fix' the iMac so it's just a screen. Just ship it up, send it to me, and I'll take care of it. It just may look like a red Nokia 447L 15" CRT, but hey, that's just the bleeding edge of style with monitors these days.
As a poor college student, I hear you. I'll soon be saving for a new computer, and I'm a Mac guy at heart, but being able to run Linux on a cheaper PC would have been more attractive to me...
Not really...just because it's a disaster area doesn't mean economics doesn't apply. You've still got supply and demand working...
Though I'm sure the economics are a little different than normal...
Regardless, it's quite sad what's happened with this whole tsunami.
You make good points. All that I can tell you is this:
I'm 18. When Goldeneye came out waaay back on the N64, I wanted to play it so bad, but my mom had a very strict 'no killing people' policy with video games.
Of course, this made me play it as much as possible. In-store demos. At people's houses. Borrowing it and playing it when she wasn't home.
I think a much better parent would (for something as harmless as video games, not something that'll kill you like drugs) let their kids make their own choices, but discuss it so that they fully understand what's going down. I would've been perfectly content to comprimise and say, 'Okay, Resident Evil is much more gory, I won't play that, but I'm gonna play Bond.'
Why is there so much opposition to laws that stop kids from buying adult material?
Here in America, such rating systems are voluntary...it's not illegal for a 15 year old to go to a rated R (17+) movie or buy a rated M(17+) video game. A lot of stores will refuse to sell to kids, but it's not written into the law.
Ratings are just there as a help to parents so they don't have to keep up with every single movie and video game little Johnny wants to watch.
This leads to an argument where Mr. Jones decides (as he can... it is his kid after all) to let his 7 year old play GTA but Mr. Smith won't let his youngster. Smith wants to make it illegal for his kid to buy a game but Jones doesn't want it to be for his.
Anyway, it seems you have a good grasp on this, but here's your dilemma: Just because Smith doesn't think kids playing M rated video games is okay, is it right to not let Jones raise his kids the way he wants?
Ahh. I ran it in my shell and indeed, you are correct...any way to do it without destroying the string, however? Without just making a copy and operating on that?
This (I'm fairly sure...it's been a few months since I've coded up some Perl) prints out 'omg line' for each line (every time, because the.* is optimized away) and 'omg statement' for each statement. A line is whatever (though usually considered less than 80 columns) up to a newline, and a statement is, well, a statement.

Sounds workable.
Considering that's how previous iPods worked, plus every CD player I've ever bought...I'd say so.
Ahh thank you. I'm completely new to the world of Palm...

Using it to exploit people is.

Hell, I only have a PS2 and an XBox, but I waited in the rain to buy RE4.
Okay, I was there with my friend who does have a GameCube.
Okay, so he was buying it, not me.
Okay, okay, my life is a little boring, drop it already!
Apparently so would the entire US *rim shot*

Damn space pirates stealing my cash.
Oh yeah, and Marathon is my favorite series ever.
Google up Yellow Dog Linux, and I think Debian (and one other) have PowerPC ports.

You'll be happy...trust me.
As a poor college student, I hear you. I'll soon be saving for a new computer, and I'm a Mac guy at heart, but being able to run Linux on a cheaper PC would have been more attractive to me...
Now I have quite a bit to think about.
I think I erred in permitting my kids to play GTA *before* teaching them that you're not really supposed to beat up a hooker.
Unless that's what you're paying her for.
Not really...just because it's a disaster area doesn't mean economics doesn't apply. You've still got supply and demand working... Though I'm sure the economics are a little different than normal... Regardless, it's quite sad what's happened with this whole tsunami.
A ratings system is a resource, enforcement is replacement.
