that leaves you trapped in the "Java trap"... you can't build truly free applications with it.

wow... 30% Troll, 40% flamebait, 30% interesting... glad someone got my message... pity some others couldn't see past their blinkers (blinders for the USAnians)... Debian is increasingly in danger of being sidelined because it's too big and the release process is so damned slow... Ubuntu has got the right message, freeze a subset of Sid and fix it, pass the fixes back to Debian... everyone benefits
on my laptop... just finished downloading it via torrent. I can't be jiggered to wait for Sarge to come out in final form... How long has it been now in rc form??? I mean, they posted the teaser for Sarge two years ago!!! ridiculous...
we have "urban rangers" in Lincoln, England (Word doc, opens OK in Kword) who carry a helmet mounted camera and a pack mounted recorder and transmitter.
"2.3 Members were informed of the Urban Ranger Scheme that was in operation in the city of Lincoln. The Urban Rangers use motor cycles and helmet cams. With these they were able to get down alleyways where young people might congregate. They also patrolled parks and open spaces, which bore signposts stating that the area was patrolled. The Urban Rangers appeared very popular with the young people, partly because they were non-confrontational but also because the youngsters liked motor cycles and it was not unusual to see groups of young people crowded around the Ranger. "
(from google's html cache of it) That technology is now some three years old, so it should be able to miniaturise it a bit more now and get the transmitter/recorder unit into a "Fanny pack"
The HURD isn't dead... it's resting, pining for the fjords...
nah, but it's a bit moribund... at least it's there as a fall back position to pick up in a hurry. Imagine if SCO did win??? highly unlikely, but I'm pretty sure we can leave the Linux kernel as scorched earth as all the developers drop it and swiftly pick up the HURD and kick it into shape. I for one, am damned sure I'll never give any money to SCO in the form of binary licenses for permission to run my boxes...
just wait till your water supply fails... totally outside your control, can happen with no warning, and probably a far more frequent event that your pump failing.
am I gonna de-activate this one if it's still active??? Sticking my head in the microwave won't work as you've got to close the door before the magnetron can power up...
fer heck's sake... Linspire hasn't run as root for years now... it was only the beta that ran as root and they quickly fixed that after all the flak they got then...
the kernel on my suse 9.1 box (2.6.5-7.111-default #1 Wed Oct 13 15:45:13 UTC 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux) comes to 1.4MB (1,470,253bytes) so you have some room for improvement...:)
yeah, but they were meant to work the other way round in that instance... you had to experience several seconds of hi-G during launch followed by no G before the devices were supposed to arm. Wonder if the original devices had been Murphy'd to be installed only the right way round and their subsequent use in the opposite sense wasn't intended...
why they are bothering to do this, and should they really be concentrating on developing smaller true VGA screens, but then they've probably got sheds full of existing screens that they can't shift at a profit and intend to use this as a stopgap until they've shifted them. Then they can stuff real VGA screens in and make use of the same technology to drive "1024x768" displays on 640x480 screens...
and stop modding down anything that goes against your own personal politics. MODERATORS, read the bl00dy MODERATOR GUIDELINES, your supposed to be modding things up and only smack down obvious trolls and GNAA dreck, I do.
I've just signed up... to trial it on a laptop, and they wanted to know all the hardware details??? I haven't got a clue what all the hardware details were... and I'm damn sure the vast majority of potential purchasers won't know what all the ins and outs of what chipset and what northbridge etc. they've got either... especially with a clone manufacturer with no real manual for it. To get those details, I'd need to fire knoppix up. I just want to stick the disk in and have it work... and I want suspend to work as well... and powersaving... those are the killer things I'm worried about that so far I can't do with my current Suse 9.1 setup.
that's basically what i do with my filtering settings right now... known good senders get filtered and moved into their respective folders, whilst unknown senders get left in the inbox... anything that has a distinctly recognisable spam pattern gets dumped into the rubbish folder. This leaves me with a minimum of unknown messages to go through in the inbox... I just wish Kmail could filter on the actual content of the message... I've come to the conclusion that all messages with html tags in them that aren't on my known good list are automatically spam...
get a trackball with three buttons... or use the right-click and suffer the hassle of selecting the "open in new tab" option in that menu... or use Linux...:)
so now we'll see localised ad content in the games where the characters wear logo'd clothing and trainers depending upon who paid for the regional rights??? I wonder if we'll see sports games with the wrong sponsors having managed to outbid the "real world" sponsors for placement on shirts, trackshoes etc.?

sure beats launching konq on the remote box using X over ssh doesn't it...

lots of code for the kernel, modules, busybox etc. but what I want to know is, do we actually get the source code to the application itself?

how many ms-windows users are there out there who don't realise that that hardware firewall/router they're hiding behind is a Linux based firewall???

yeah... just remember what happened when some tech forgot to do the mandated monthly reboot that was the workaround for a software fault...

And that little popup box will tell you it's detected new hardware when you've only had the tires changed...

yet again I've encountered the moderator who can't think outside the box and failed to see the funny side or relevance to the topic.
