I love my (as my Apple-fanboy "friends" call it) fake iPod - not just because I can use open source firmware on it or that I can check out the schematics if I want, but mainly because it has features that competing products don't. Features I use everyday. Some of them are only there because this thing is so open, like the ogg/vorbis support. I'm so with you on this one.
The Aironets I have used are fully supported. The only thing that could be considered a downside of the Aironets is that the firmware is stored on the card (normally a good thing) and you can only upgrade said firmware from Windows currently. And yes, I've seen some extremely buggy firmware revisions come out of Cisco.
You did a great job of missing the real point. Remote URIs don't have treeviews in the GTK+ file chooser.
Note that I'm not complaining about the filechooser itself, but the fact that they hid the location bar to save 10 pixels. And yes, I have spoken to some of the design cabal about it - we just disagree, I think.
I've been running a webserver on my Comcast-connected box for well over a year, and I've had zero problems. Are they blocking port 80 where you are or something?
Dependencies are dependencies - they exist to say "I NEED these things to even work at all." If you find some package that lists something as a dependency but you have no problems using the package without it, you've just found a bug.
Between the dual-1.8GHz-opteron and the dual-3.4GHz-em64t machines that I use on a regular basis at work, I'd pick the AMD any day - the speed might be equalish but the Intel box produces several times the level of noise and heat.
Vendors usually hear about them with enough time to prepare an update for any relevant products. For example, if you're running RHEL and are a self-respecting sysadmin, you applied this fix last week.
You might be right though: a sec-advisory section might be a good idea.
I agree, it's not as simple as I made it out to be. There are easier ways, such as: uuencode -m file file > file.uu && uuencode -m newfile file > newfile.uu && diff -u file.uu newfile.uu | patch file.uu && uudecode file.uu && rm newfile* *.uu
or just use rsync.
That's only likely if you're getting the same illogical behavior from every app.

My parents live 4 miles outside of a 70,000 person city. Said city has had wireless broadband (some proprietary tech) that reaches 2mi LoS, cable and DSL for over 6 years. They still can't get cable (not even TV) or DSL, and as they're on a hill in the woods, they can't get wireless love. So they stick with $10/mo dialup.
Pretty sure they won't be seeing much *oIP any time soon:(
Hear hear. I'm a Computer Engineering Technology student at Northeastern University in Boston (CET is kinda between CE and CS in terms of material). I've had some no-ops (co-op terms with no jobs) and some completely irrelevant co-ops... but then I landed one at Red Hat.
My (so far) 6 months at Red Hat and my ongoing Debian work have overall taught me more than all of my college education has. And from a career side... well, let's just say it's nice to have my foot in the door with a worldwide Free Software company. Especially since I've been toying with the idea of leaving the US since high school. They've extended this co-op by a couple months, and they want me back the same time next year. Plus I personally know everyone who is likely to interview me for a full-time position when I graduate.
Do go to a co-op school. Do not expect them to find jobs for you. Do bust your ass going after that no-fucking-way perfect job.
"Darcs get (equivalent to CVS checkout) is the single least efficient command in darcs.... And comparing darcs get with cvs checkout really isn't fair.."
You've lost me, unfortunately. Darcs does seem, in some ways, to be fantastically simple, but your explanation of how to do the real equivalent of a cvs checkout just sounds irritating.

It's a Network Object Model Environment, you insensitive clod! ;)
a text box to type the name of the file, with tab completion
Press Control-L. No, I don't know why it's hidden.

"Sue me? I was doing the same thing as you - catching pirates!"
Amen, brother. For your own good, stay away from ALL of that open-source crap!
Hey, look, your idiocy is showing.
Dependencies are dependencies - they exist to say "I NEED these things to even work at all." If you find some package that lists something as a dependency but you have no problems using the package without it, you've just found a bug.

But Red Hat provides updates quite quickly for security issues.
I bought the 25ft mouse/keyboard model 2 years ago, and it still works as advertised. Send it back, dude, don't be bitter. They'll treat you well.
No, this isn't an ad, unlike the "story" - I just like what I bought.

You mean your vendor doesn't provide security updates? Yes, that's a real question.
It's not just reading your config files, it's spawning a full-fledged X server. That causes a large amount of the delay, in fact.
It can record in WAV (and MP3). When it can play FLAC, and it most likely will, I imagine it will record in it also.
I agree, it's not as simple as I made it out to be. There are easier ways, such as:
uuencode -m file file > file.uu && uuencode -m newfile file > newfile.uu && diff -u file.uu newfile.uu | patch file.uu && uudecode file.uu && rm newfile* *.uu
or just use rsync.
A file format can't do both? :\
PDF = Poorly Designed Format?
SXWs are zipped XML files.
zdiff (1) - compare compressed files
If that won't work out-of-the-box, it could be made to easily.

Yes, our boot-up is slow. :/
We're working on it.
