Frig Clifford the Big Red Dog, I'm going to patent the Hoverboard, the Teleport and lots of other future inventions! I'll clean up in 2015 when they're really invented!!
Er, they already have and thats one of the claims the judge said 'not now, maybe later' to in this judgement! CC10 is Counterclaim 10.
IBM have also been sending out subpeonas to lots of folk latley giving rise to speculaiton that they are going to go after Canopy as well as SCO during the 'peirce the corporate veil' burn the villages and salt the earth stage after SCO lose this bit.
Because IMHO HP are now Evil. Time was when HP kit was the bollocks, and totally reliable, and not too expensive. Now they're a bunch of assholes trying to wring every last euro out of us.
So the big question is are there any non-Evil printer manufacturers out there?
Back when I used SUN kit (now we're a 100% linux shop) we used to put the GNU tools on it to make it work properly as the sun shell/file tools were so god-awful. Have they fixed that in Solaris 10?
They already do delay it. There was a brilliant scam done to BT 10 years ago when premium lines first came out. The scammers got two offices, and put 20 phone lines into one, and 20 premium lines into the other. The bills for the premium lines got paid out (to the scammers) every 30 days, but the phone bills on the out going lines were payable every 90. So the scammers phoned up the premium lines from their outgoing lines & too two months money off BT.
At that point I think BT made the billing cycles the same!
Hmm, so let me get this straight, if I rename kernel-2.6.8.tar.gz Raiders\ Of\ The\ Lost\ Ark.wmv and host it on my site I can give the MPAA a good run around!:-)
I think you're thinking of Sellafield, which is north of Preston. They have funnier accidents than The Simpsons there, and pump Plutonium out into the Irish sea every now and then.
Not heard of K3b, & I don't use KDE & didn't want to install it that much being a happy Gnome. I've had a look now, thanks for pointing it out. It does appear to use one of the 'ProDVD' alternative tools I mentioned in my post though - rather than being a self-contained dvd burning tool in and of itself.
Much as I like it, I wouldn't like to run Gentoo on dial-up. But to answer your questions
Its easy to maintain, but mainly with vi!/etc/ has a much much nicer layout than other distros I've used though.
You _could_ transfer the source packages as portage keeps them all in a directory you specify in make.conf, but I guess you might have slightly different requirements on the other PC's which would make it want to download other stuff from the internet - perhaps you want to look at a regular distro plus that automake thingy that was on slashdot a few weeks ago that looked a bit like 'portage for other distros'.
For me, it hasn't been optimization, but ease of use. I can't count the number of times with RedHat or Suse when I've wanted (for example) Apache+PHP+DB2+SSL or something, and its a right arse about if the distro designers didn't anticipate it and you have to get the source code anyhow, and configure it all by hand. With gentoo, I've found its much easier to get packages to play together nicley.
Like you, it just clobbered my partition table & boot partition so after getting the partition sizes from df it could be salvaged with fdisk (took a few goes though)

Like a 13 mile high statue of him throwing a plastic cup?

No reason at all why the router can't do this at all. Scary stuff.
Shit. Am I posting to slashdot, or evil-slashdot?

We lead the way in crypto-facism this time!
Mandatory gentoo plug
Can the ISO standardize an MS-Patented way of saving documents??!!

Stallman wrote GCC and an editor thingy called emacs which suffers from not being vim!

And for the record, Enderle is a prize asshat.

Wow indeed.
I for one welcome our new Slashdotting Conquering Overlords.
Well done.
Remember folks, we need a mirror of katiet.com incase it gets slashdotted
$ wget --mirror katiet.com
They won't have $5 per share cash when they've paid out IBMs fees & award for patent infringement.

DeCSS is illegal period. This isn't a patent issue with CSS. It's industry trade secret protection.
To be a trade secret, doesn't something have to be secret?
I wouldn't have minded (my own stupidity) but it went like this...
dp@bart dp $ dd if=boot.img of=/dev/hda
dd: permission denied
darn, thats odd, can't write to the floppy
dp@bart dp $ su
Hmm... should have engaged brain before typing!
root@bart dp # dd if=boot.img of=/dev/hda
Like you, it just clobbered my partition table & boot partition so after getting the partition sizes from df it could be salvaged with fdisk (took a few goes though)
how about
# dd if=boot.img of=/dev/hda
instead of
# dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0
aiee!
