Reminds me of the days when I still had to calculate stuff with my crappy Casio & draw the graph by hand because graphing calculators weren't allowed in our school... ah, lost youth!
You can buy/order the Dreambox, a Linux-powered DVB satellite receiver with a LAN adapter and an optional HDD. Not really useful if you don't have a parabol antenna, but otherwise really sweet.
Positive side-effect: you can upgrade programme keys via the Internet & watch all those nice channels for adult entertainment:) Problem, though, is that more and more programmes are scrambled in SECA2, which hasn't been hacked yet...
No way? I actually live in Stockholm, Sweden, and travel to Finland on a regular basis. But thanks for the tip, anyway.
On a related note: as far as I know, Linus Torvalds is a so-called "Finlandssvensk", which means that he's part of the Finish population that has Swedish as their mother tongue. Even more irony, I guess...
...in one way or another. Most of the Slashdot crowd are computer/natural science/LOTR nerds whereas Germans, for example, might all be David Hasselhoff nerds.;)
At the moment (2:30 PM CET) Southern Sweden is without electricity due to a giant power failure. So either this discovery already starts showing its evil consequences, or the Slashdot effect now reaches further than just web sites...
This more or less confirms my experiences I've had with MS Office -> OpenOffice interoperability in everyday use. While using Windows at work, I use Linux at home, and so far I've only had minor issues moving between the two worlds. So what's the deal about the story?
I actually do that - ya think I'm not a real wannabe-geek?;) but seriously, I needed a hint about where to find the "spam-eliminator" setting in Trillian. Now it should work...
Thanks for the tip - a bit hard to find, though. Had to go to the settings for the individual account while I thought that you could make this a general setting for the whole application. But it seems that I've just got rid of IM spam:)
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea, too, but what does IM have to do with email?
At the moment I'm facing the dilemma that most of my friends use MSN Messenger for IM - and this service is being flooded by spam. About every five minutes a new window pops up, promising hot naked chicks and bla bla bla... and as far as I know Microsoft-based services, this is just the beginning...
I actually hope that my friends get this crap, too - then it might be a bit easier for me to convert them to Jabber or ICQ...
FP?;) No, but seriously: at the moment I'm already getting irritated by the increasing amount of spam I receive via MSN (using Trillian & GAIM), so what might happen with this innovative product? Don't get me wrong, I love to get to know new people, but I'm a bit sceptic if this wouldn't attract a lot of "noise"...
Germans and warm beer? There must be something very wrong there... about 100 out of 100 Germans I know usually throw away their beers if it's gotten warm. But that might only be my subjective perception...
And who's sponsoring this? I mean, fine, have another department, but I could imagine that there are some corporate interests behind this, too... "Secure cyberspace" sounds so familiar...
...that we will soon be able to buy real, lethal Star Wars light swords, too? Then I should dust off my EVIL EMPEROR SUIT and practice the EVIL EMPEROR LAUGHTER a bit more! Muhahahahahaha...
...for articles like this one. 'Cause whenever one of my friends accuses me of being a computer/video game/music/whatever geek, I send him or her the link to such an article. Works every time!:) Even though they say that it's pretty geeky just to know about stuff like this...
Slashdot Mirror
So this makes my initial question about FreeBSD on notebooks pretty much obsol33t... looks as if ACPI really makes sense. :)
of course I love technology progress - I just guess I was born a little too late for the Papyrus stuff ;)

well, at least not on gimp.org...

Well, it's posted here, isn't that a trustworthy & unbiased source?

...and the DynamicDrive site gets so slow you might think it's being slashdotted.
Just wondering if you ever get any nice scripts from that site...
Only partly - as IBM is one part of the deal, the US economy actually gets a piece of the cake as well.
That would probably still sound better than the Free Software Song...

let's see their next bandwidth bill... hope that it doesn't burn too much of their startup capital...

Go-go Gadgetto-XBox!
just my 2 cents :) I never wanted to join the bash-taco-for-putting-up-a-dupe-dept., but this time it was just too tempting...
