Writers! let your readers do your promotion for you, it just looks bad if you do it on your own
This is probably a good idea, for every old joe-schmoe who installs linux, there can be more or less, a unified 'look'
Being more partial to KDE than GNOME, I don't really see a problem with it, but packaging it is the way to go. If it's a package, that can be 'apt-got' (just for example;)), then it probably makes life much easier for everybody.
I'm enduring college level calculus right now, and to think that one man, more or less invented a major area of mathematics that we use in a vast array of situations, is simply, incredible.
Given the resources he had availible, it's simply amazing he accomplished what he did
remember that 5.3 has a good chance of becoming -STABLE (by good chance, I am really making an assumption based on how 5.2 has progressed, etc)
FreeBSD is making good progress in SMP, and a lot more backend stuff than is noticable to most. I'm looking forward to running a 5-STABLE branch on my main (dual Xeon) server.

<factorial_nine> GOOD LUCK, BITCH.
I think that it's applicable:)
I know people..::cough:: that wouldn't use the internet if they couldn't get pr0n off it;)

For those of you that don't know, NetBSD 2.0 is going to be _awesome_
I run -current on 3 machines (x86,sparc32,sparc64) and it's just cool. One of the features that come to mind (really don't think it's in 1.6.2) is FFS2 (FFS being their file system)
SMP is still being worked on, I don't know about the status of the i386 port, but for sparc64, SMP is to the point where the kernel will spin up that second CPU.
(Of course, we never paid a developer full time to hack SMP::cough::::cough::;) [mods, it's a joke])
Why aren't they using conventional storage standards, RAM, and disk space are all in megabytes (1024 vs 1000 debating aside) saying something is *bit (giga,mega,kilo) implies a rate connectivity doesn't it?

Here at Texas A&M, IBM just gave a talk to our ULUG (Unix & Linux UG) about a project they use called "BogoSec" where they can get rough estimations of source security.
The most drastic example of security problems was between vsftpd and wu-ftpd, but the presenter also showed some graphs for httpd 2.xxx releases, where the bugfix releases drastically improved the security.
This is something well known to work. It's not the bike riding, it's the act of "taking a break from the problem." Think back to the origins of "Eureka!"
I, for example, will often go grab a Coke, talk to people, etc, and somewhere along the line, by _not_ focussing so hard on the problem, I come up with the answer.
Slashdot Mirror
After going to classes all day with far too many foreigh professors that have heavy accents. That was too funny, My sides hurt.
Urm, to keep it on topic, I for one welcome our new linux-powered-automotive-overlords

Third newsflash: there are many things that you can only really do with C on Unix systems, POSIX anybody?

My coworkers post big print outs of geek/tech-Haiku.
:P
And post them all over the walls.
I want to work from home
never happening

Thanks guys
P.S. This is a joke, damn it. Laugh.
;)
Coulda fooled me
No :)

Seriously, just give a direct link to family members, OR, send them to java.com, it's right there, front page
Now stop whining and go back to studying, like I am
Besides agreeing with you, I can't help but wonder how much caffiene you've had ;)
It's slightly comforting to know that there are other countries where some very puritan ideals are also being put forth (unfavorably, yes)
Just associate it with China, a communist state, that will make people _not_ want it

By waiting, most people will either say it's good or bad.
Also there's been a loss in the "movie-going experience"
I mean, commercials in the intro, those stupid "No Smoking" jingles, at home, I can just watch the movie
There seems to be evidence supporting the fact that LKM may be supported in the 2.0 release (if not already)
;)
here's a clue, see date
Check on the port-cobalt page for more info, and if you feel really daring, sign up for the port-cobalt[at]netbsd.org mailing list

Actually, I'm working on hacking a drop-in intrusion detection system from Perl to C. NetSQUID (NetSQUID/C)
It is basically one way we, here at Texas A&M, keep virus traffic and the likes on the low.
It basically just sets firewall rules based on snort alerts
I find it the chronological order of those statements, you assume that illirates can still get windows and a webcam working :-P

because then it's PING PONG
;)
sheesh
they totally do, it's ok, they won't really mind ;)
This year's lineup of speakers looks amazing.
/, to care :)
:-P
Apparently not amazing enough for anybody on

Seriously, this even beats out the ekkoBSD related posts

Hoorah for bugfix releases, they're always good.

Wha? That is most definitely not an 'old saying'
*covers head*
please don't hurt me!
To how many of Mircrosoft's MILLIONS of consumers, is a filesystem like 'WinFS' (theoretically) a feature to be desired?
Most people I know want eye candy, and things to work as they're used too.
Microsoft doesn't _need_ WinFS, therefore it's not a prime concern
