Another great idea would be to make LILO stop saying "LI" and locking up your machine if you ever choose to delete a Linux partition some time in the distant future.
We've had that problem solved for some time. The solution is called GRUB. If it can't boot the kernel you picked from the menu, you can issue it a few commands, with tab completion and all that jazz, and boot whatever kernel you do have.
Yeah, that was a shame, I had hoped the HWG project would take off too. But then again, it always seemed to me there were very few civic-minded amongst the HWG when I was a member; probably due to the fact that you really didn't have to do anything to "join" and a lot of people saw it as a quick way to load up their resume when web jobs were hot.
But, there is still vindication. Pluckerbooks, in addition to making ready-made pdb files for Plucker, also provides you with the full HTML for their books, which are often Gutenberg conversions. I always read them in Plucker, but the HTML is also useful for non-Palmers.
The funny bit is, if I saw a site designed like that, regardless of its content, I'd immediately be suspicious. Either it's a prank, or a tinfoil hat brigade affiliate, or something backed by an army of ambulance chasers...
So maybe if you just want a desktop and don't feel like compiling everything for over a week you can use a different distribution. But I've found Gentoo works well for servers.
In particular for busy servers that are co-located behind > 100MBps of bandwidth for database-backed sites: Every clock cycle helps!
As someone who bailed on Gentoo some time back mostly because he was tired of buggy build scripts sucking down hours of compile time, I can safely say you're either naive or a troll.
It seems to me that SCO's pathetic case is shifting away from copyright and into ideas. If a ruling comes down saying that, for example, nobody but SCO can use the methods involved in a critical feature of RHE, what happens then?
Don't make them an offer. It seems that the big catch here is that Mike made a $10,000 offer to Microsoft ('s lawyers?), and that single act essentially made their case that it was a bad-faith registration.
When does michael's paranoia cross the line into just plain annoying?
Oh, wait, it already has, hasn't it.
Guess it's time to go play with the story filters. Either that, or we can get an RFID chip stuck on him, and convince him he needs to live in a lead-lined room for the rest of his life.
I know you're being sarcastic, but it's worth pointing out the real difference here.
RFID is a passive system. You are not in control of when you are tracked.
The palm scan is active. You get to pick when you're tracked. Of course, if you decide not to let yourself be tracked, you're not paid. As another poster said, it sure as hell beats the comparatively fragile timecard system.
To draw a logical conclusion from your statement, in order for your choice of candidate to be voted in, something like, oh, a literacy test would have to be instituted? Or perhaps do you have some other method for keeping the "under-educated" from voting?
It seems to me that you think, for some inexplicable reason, that these "under-educated" people have less right to elect leaders than you do. I'm curious how anyone can believe this, frankly.

I found schematics for a "dumb cable" after some searching.
Do you have links to the schematics of the homebrew cables? Google is not being helpful.
Worn grooves in the disks? What RPM are you playing those at? 78?
Well, until upgrade time, that is... :-)

Just FYI -- unstable now has XFree86 4.3. I don't have to pull those packages from experimental anymore.
You can say that again. ;-)
Dammit, I just spent my last mod point... hehe.
I'm sorry, all credibility goes out the window with "award winning". It seems to me there's a whole lotta KDE astroturfing goin' on.
If humans could detect currency correctly, there'd be no need for this in the first place :-)
I do agree with you on Dean making a Bush win easier; but that does not at all exclude the Deanites' wailing and gnashing teeth over Iowa.
It seems to me that SCO's pathetic case is shifting away from copyright and into ideas. If a ruling comes down saying that, for example, nobody but SCO can use the methods involved in a critical feature of RHE, what happens then?
That's because all the GWB bashers are still in bed weeping over Dean's pathetic showing in Iowa.

Debian installation has long been a bad thing, but they are working on it -- debian-installer. The beta is extremely good, IMO.

Interesting. At my workplace, we don't use obscenely hyperbolic arguments to attempt to defend against completely reasonable points.

No, the only reason to use WMA is if you're married to Windows. You won't get much use out of it outside that little circle...
Actually, bukkake is soup. (Link is safe for work, really.)
You most certainly do not. The shell moves you to the next line at the end of your command, and the prompt can appear there.
