At first you can replace the caffeine in coffe and beverages with a mild green tea.
I got somehow addicted to Pepsi during my finals, so I replaced it with mineral water. All went ok, but I ended up drinking more water than Pepsi by half a liter or so.
I think KDE has a too cluttered interface. In that sense Gnome looks cleaner. On the other hand, KDE is actually more usable, just that you get lost through the plethora of options. Oh yes and Nautilus is still tooooo sloooow.
Basically summarizes to this:
* matroxfb doesn't work
* ide-scsi doesn't work
* the mouse is weird but it can be fixed with a boot option but then the wheel doesn't work
I bet there are even more issues so I guess I'll keep using 2.4.
Armagetron is also a very good networked game. I don't know about commercial games since I can't afford them, nor pirate in order to support Linux gaming;P.
No spare parts? Then how exactly would you shoot such a massive object into space? Imagine, at 300 ft (100 m) this thing is as long as the IIS! And the IIS is the size of a football field. According to this the IIS is 108 x 72 m. At this size, the probe will be be pretty heavy as well.
Aren't fission reactors and lead shielding a bit heaavy for that? It's the main reason nuclear powered airplanes never flew (well the Russians had one that flew but most of the staff operating it died as it was not shielded at all). The idea sounds more feasable than in the case of aircraft because as soon as it's in space you don't need to worry about mass to much. But the point is, transport of spare parts for the reactor is going to be very expensive.
I think the Moller Skycar (or equivalent) has a brighter future than this. This is just a car-plane hybrid, nothing new here; all they did was stick two wings on a car. Bah.
It woule be cool to make a site that lists GPL violators where people can add companies which violate the GPL and details about the GPL violation (what products, etc.).
This is what Microsoft does all the time. It takes an open standard and it obfuscates it so that it's esentially 90% the open standard and 10% MS-introduced irrelevant crap to make the format proprietary. Then MS patents their 10% so that people can't really write some filter to convert from one format to another without risking to be sued. This is what Microsoft calls 'innovation'.
This is silly. 5 years in prison and $250k fines? Isn't that a bit harsh? It's not like he actually did anything. People can get really creative when they receive spam. The magnitude of punishment he got for the threats is about the same as the spammers would have gotten if the guy actually did what he thretened to do. And then again, it was the spammers who started everything.
Hmm, what I'd really like to see is news about someone really doing what he thretened to do to a spammer.

So use entropy. It'swritten in C.
With so many people doing IT, what do you expect? This is no surprise at all.

I think it works on a magnetic repulsion cushion and it uses superconductors to achieve that. There is also the german Transrapid.
Why share metadata files when you can share the *content* itself, legally or not. Why would anyone use this?

And this is new how? There are dozens of firewall distros out there, does SmoothWall have anything special or innovative?
Now cutting other people's fingers, hands and taking out their eyes will be involved to steal their biometric "password". Great!

Now that GE fish are banned in CA, I will certainly buy one or two, or three..
Minix has been BSD licensed as far as I know. I *think* the minux fs version in Linux is different though.
Minix FS is good enough and smaller. I bet there must be better ones too. This calls for a BSD licensed filesystem for embedded devices.

Ah well, to bad the all-new-and-shiny grsecurity for 2.4.23 isn't out yet.
I woder if the plane has solar cells on the ground facing part of the wing. Extra sunlight reflected from clouds is always a bonus.

I'm using Mozilla you insenstitive clod. And btw, you can stick your monopolistic non-standard IE.. hmm nevermind. Screw billg and de facto standards.
How about selling plastic fingers with phony fingerprints or fingerprints that can be attached to your fingers. Just an idea.
Put a postfix mail server in front of it ;P. Or ditch it altogether.
It looks exactly like the old one. I won't be surprised if any of the issues I mentioned aren't fixed.
