Actually, I dispute that. Look at the old Tom and Jerry cartoon. The ones from the 40's and 50's. In my opinion, most of the T&J's of that era where the finest cartoons ever made. I don't know that most of the names, but the one where Tom goes fishing in this insanely beautiful pond, using Jerry as bait, has got to be one of the best cartoons ever made.
Basically, anybody with a pulse can use AOL. My 14 year old daughter refuses to use it anymore, stating "All it's good for is chatting and I can get that for free everywhere else! I think AOL is for people that are to stupid to understand how to surf the real internet.". Smart kid... Anyway, I think it's pretty cool that they chose Linux for the base OS. Does this mean we're about to get bombarded with AOL for Linux CD's, offering 5,000,000 hours (useable only in the first month, of course)?
Ya sure, they think they're gonna control us, the geeks, hackers, engineers, and just plain strange people. Well, they can bite my ass. I have control over what's on my machine, not Intel, Microshit, or even IBM. Who do they think they are? Some giant corporations that can control peoples lives... Oh, uh, wait a sec here. Nevermind
First off, I'm an American. I do fish in Canada though. (The boundry waters kick ass, I'm looking forward to flying up there after I get my pilots license...) Anyway, ratings of this type are going to do nothing. They won't stop younger kids from playing the games rated for older kids or adults. Period. The really disturbing part about this is the gov's ability to censor games and ban them. If something like that happened here, why, I'd, uhhhhh, be pissed! Seriously, I'm pretty sure there'd be a good sized shit storm over the banning part. You Canucks need to raise some hell.
Oh boy! Just what I've always wanted! A chance to increase the worlds dependence on M$ shit. At least make it ASP 3.x compatible. Personally, I'll use PHP all day long over that crap ASP. I don't care that I can use my scripting language of choice for ASP, it's still a proprietary piece of shit, created to run VBScript. Pure drivel.
This story has been up for less than a half hour and it's already slashdotted. Must be a complete piece of crap server/conection they have. Anyway, it appears obvious that the mouse is only for less than fully operational people. I think it's a good thing though.
Hey! You described one of my first cars! I got one when I was about 20 or so. Damn, was that a pussy chaser! Of course, I'm pretty damn old, memory ain't what it used to be...
Section 9 kicks ass. I used to be an admin (probably still am...) but I haven't play tries in forever. I'll probably go back into it when tribes 2 comes out. I truly love the shifter mod.
Have you guys even considered HIPPA? HIPPA is the "HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996". You appear to be possibly (IANAL) opening yourself up to Federal prosecution or at least, persecution.
I used to be an enterprise level network engineer/admin for a very large HMO/Clinics corporation. When we started to design a new clinic, we looked into most of the tech you ask about. Guess what. HIPPA raised it's ugly disgusting head and we couldn't do 90% of what we wanted to. Frankly, I'm getting extremely sick of having the Fed's tell me what I can and cannot do. Our (US) government is becoming overbearing to the point of silliness.
OMG! The first mobo/cpu combo I bought and built was an AMD 386dx40. I SMOKED the Intel stuff. I also bought my first SIMMS then, two 1mb beasties. Damn, a 15mb hard drive. I remember using Stack compression on it. Took forever to get that extra 14mb or so. Those were heady days my friend...
I'm probably braindead yet this morning, but how the hell can I exactly get away with not putting any HTML in my PHP code? I mean, come on, forms are pretty important. Also, I've yet to find a decent way to use templates with more of a serverside type PHP dev. If you have a good way to templateize (uh, new word?) PHP, please point me there!
You know, as far as I can tell, Star Office is simply a M$ works clone. Well, not exactly, but pretty close. Of course, it runs on *nix, so that does make it cool, but I really can't see it being a competitor to M$ Back Orifice^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Office.
I am just starting to learn Java myself though. Luckily I've got Linux on my laptop...
Frankly I'm glad M$ has dropped Java. Now we should be able to get somewhere with it. No worries about proprietary extensions. No need to wonder if it will compile on that AIX box. Cool stuff.
Does anyone know how I would go about setting up a VPN using this stuff? I know how to do it using Checkpoint and SecuRemote, but what's the open source way?
Please feel free to email me if you don't want to answer here.

Well, nobody I know here drinks Schlitz. I'm not even sure it's made anymore. On the other hand, I do know it's almost possible to go swimming in the street on football game day. An unbelievable amout of beer gets drank here.
I think it's a cool idea. I know some people that home-school right now, this kind of thing should help them out.
It also gives me a chance to catch up on my math skills from 9th grade, which I was to stoned to really understand back then.:)
My laptop (see subject) works great with Mandrake, mmm, 7.2. The battery life is shorter, I figure around 2.5 hours, but it totally kicks ass on lose98. Think about it. A real OS on a P3 700. Woo Hoo!!!! I chose Mandrake for it after installing a number of others, including FreeBSD 4.2, which didn't work all that well, sniff, I've been a FreeBSD fan forever. Anyway, Mandrake was by far the simplest to install, virtually everything worked, except that piece of shit winmodem. I got the software modem to work via linmodem though.
I think the Ixians in Dune where actually the Bene Tleilaxu, after taking over Ix. Then again, I haven't read Dune: House Harkonnen, so I might not know what the hell I'm talking about. But, it would make sense for it to be them, mainly because the former Ixians where more normal.
Ahh, someone who gets it. Where do you suppose all the F1 drivers come from? For the most part, from karting. I race a 250 shifter kart (Anderson chassis, KTM factory works motor) here in the states. I know for a fact that karting in Europe is viewed as the minor leagues for F1. Imagine sitting about with your ass about 3" above the ground, doing 170mph+...
