Try finding anything like Portage somewhere else. Ports is far away from it. And don't get me started about the dependency hell of RPMs
It would be an apt idea to try out a few other systems again. RPM a lot more yummy than in the past.
Granted I haven't used gentoo in a few years, but other than an ebuild being easier to make than building a debian package or spec files, I don't really know what you're getting at.
I don't think the goal is to have solar-powered commuter vehicles, the goal is to create new ways to use less power in an electric vehicle. If the race was for electric vehicles, it would be a race for more batteries.
Designing their car to run on an finite amount of power requires improving efficiencies across the board, and some really imaginitive thinking. So when electric commuter vehicles ARE made that do use lots of batteries, we get much better useage from them.
My girlfriend does not like SciFi at all. I got her to tough out season 1. By the end, she was rather pissed off the "movies" were so crap and the 'Voices' dvds only had the one release.
Now we've moved on to Alien Nation, so we're probably setting ourselves up again...
I've had very little interaction with the BES at work, and we use it with exchange, so the process might be different with real mail servers. From my limited and basic understanding, when an email comes in, a copy goes to exchange and to the bb. So if you back up the exchange store, you get all mail.
So there is your traceability and accountability.
I'd lean toward it being a "security" issue: forged messages, interception, etc.
Does bb mail support gpg? That would add some accountability;)
On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron, but it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all, it's not like you actually elected him.
I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you, doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own. It would be like if, well, say you had ten times the television audeince we did and you flood our market with great shows, cheaper than we could produce. I know you'd never do that.
I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defence I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours. As word of apology, please accept all of our NHL teams which, one by one, are going out of business and moving to your fine country.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you want to have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.
I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the War of 1812. I see you've rebuilt it! It's very nice.
I'm sorry for Alan Thicke, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Loverboy, that song from Seriff that ends with a really high-pitched long note. Your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but we feel your pain.
And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. Because we've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.
As I've said for a while, Steam is an excellent implementation of a bad idea.
I don't like DRM, but somehow Steam manages to do it without any intrusion. As Impulse seems to be leaning toward that path, I hope they are very careful to not add intrusive restrictions (basically just anti-concurrency, like Steam)
I consider it unfortunate that Steam even supports third-party DRM, though. Now I need to read about a particular game to find out that, despite Steam's assurances and capabilities, the game will still be limited to 5 installs (X3:Terran Conflict, Farcry 2, Bioshock).
Valve has promised to release an update freeing Steam purchased games in an end-of-life scenario. Unfortunately it won't help these third-party games that use securom. You'll just be SOL.
House burglary, snoopy (ex-)significant-other, used a common password that somebody figured out, etc. There are many reasons one might want to change their encryption key. You can't exactly blame a person for some other person stealing their stuff.
Weave is an early beta. I have had all sorts of issues with it trying to sync cookies, and I found the sync as a whole sometimes didn't work. I'm currently using foxmarks for bookmarks, and weave for everything else on a non-critical basis.
Also, weave has a bunch of UI encryption options that are not active yet. Apparently this will allow you to change encryption settings. Hopefully it will allow you to change your pass phrase.
Kind of silly it costs more to buy the disc than to go see it at a theater (INCLUDING the $7 popcorn and $5 coke). I wonder if the pricing is decided via "We estimate this is 2.5x better than DVD" mindset, or a way to prop up ticket sales..
I used to be a PPC linux user, and despite not having proprietary codec and plugin support, the whole experience was much smoother.
It's funny that gnash, a fresh implementation of flash that appears to be in a state somewhere between does-not-work and kinda-partially-works still manages to actually integrate into the browser better and cause fewer browser hangs.
I installed the flash plugin through synaptic on 64-bit Ubuntu (AMD64), and it "works", if by "Works" you mean plays videos after hanging your browser for five or six seconds while initializing.
Sound randomly stops as well, and sometimes seeking kills the video.
Any distribution that ships with Network Manager (such as recent Ubuntu versions, I'm assuming suse as well) do this. For wireless, it may only works for interactive graphical sessions, but should work without an interactive session for a wired connection (on my desktop I have a network connection without logging in)
Also, ifplugd is extremely simple to install and requires extremely minimal configuration. I used this in college for a number of years without issue before all this fancy new stuff.
I could probably live without Tomboy. I use Rhythmbox instead of Banshee, despite the latter having some cooler features. I "use" tracker instead of beagle (maybe should say "have" as I have not gotten in the habit of using it much yet). But F-Spot is an absolutely amazing program, regardless of what language it is in.
I looked at this, as I also run Rockbox on my iRiver and absolutely love it. The iPod status page indicates that power management does not work right yet on the 5gen ipods.
Also, I get rather frustrated by having to actually look at the device to do navigation as there is no tactile feedback.
I have an older 20GB iriver iHP-120. It plays Vorbis, which the ipod does not.
Recently after looking at replacements (I have 18GB of music, mostly ripped CDs) I decided to order a replacement hard disk. It only gives me an additional 10GB, but when compared to the alternatives, I thought it was the best option (no vorbis support on ipod)
When I was about 13 or 14, we had a family sit-down, and had The "Internet" discussion (only about 50% of my computer-owning friends had an Internet connection at that time, so it was a big deal to spend the money on it). My brother and myself were brought in on weighing the financial aspects of it, what we would do to in return for receiving access (I had to get a summer job, so getting the Internet actually got me away from the computer more often).
Granted it was a little different then for a few reasons. First, my parents could live happily without the Internet, so a single problem and all access would be lost. Second, I was already 13, and my brother was 10, so it is not quite the same as throwing a preschooler onto google.
We were both aware that we were not to be looking at anything 'inappropriate', which I believed was pretty much just "Naked People". But kids are always going to be much more resourceful, and I started hanging around on IRC. It wasn't until I was about 15 or 16, when I built my own computer and started using Linux (ext2 was as good as encryption as far as parents are concerned) that I started to really have a look at the 96% of the Internet that I was missing before. At this point, I had already essentially "grown up" in that I had a job and was paying for my own stuff, so it never really became an issue. And it never felt as taboo as me and my friends having a few playboys hidden under some rocks in the park, which was actually quite a few years before the whole Internet porn issue came up.
Personally, I think most parents go pretty overboard. I was trusted by my parents, and I returned that trust until a point where it was relatively reasonable to assume that both parties would no longer expect it. And I never would have even tried looking at anything on the family computer.
In the article he says he launched the GNU OS in 1984 and seven years later a kid from Finland blows right past him. What was Stallman doing during those seven years? From Wikipedia:
Stallman was responsible for contributing many necessary tools, including a text editor, compiler, debugger, and a build automator. The notable exception was a kernel.
If you look at the timeline of GCC Releases, this would confirm it. I was too lazy to look up timelines for other projects, such as glibc.
Downloading a show is that is unavailable to you is completely different from stealing a TV. Consider that if you download Dr. Who, the BBC is not losing a sale as it is impossible to actually acquire the show through any reasonable legal means, and also that you are not depriving anybody of their copy of Dr. Who.

Wouldn't it be substantially easier to just set a really strong SSH password and use key-based auth if you need to configure your router remotely?

Mandriva is trying something similar. Starting X+GDM earlier in the boot process.
light plastic surgery
High school sure is different now days, and I'm only in my 20's!
Cache/swap for video or large image editing?
Assuming one does not have a motherboard that supports crazy amounts of memory, or for retrofitting into existing machines (such as a mac pro)

Yeah... So.... The 'Post Anonymously' check box is just above the text entry field. You know, just for future reference...

Wadsworth* in the Hall with the Knife? If I recall, Wadsworth the butler is not a character in the board game, though he was in the movie adaptation.
