That's a good point.
Space is massivly huge. Nothing like Star Treck of Star Wars ever illustrated very well.
Years and years and years of vast nothing.
A slow burn over days or weeks would build a pretty good speed though.
Even after looking at the web site, I don't see the point. Is it supposed to be a user friendly BSD?
As a default installation, ekkoBSD gives you an E-Mail server, Web Server, ssh, and several other services that would normally need to be added and secured.
This just sounds like bloat to me. Although, if you can pick a configuration you want, and have it update and patch automaticaly, that might be nifty. I can't see all that many BSD/*NIX users who want a web server installed by default though.
Smaller and faster means more computers crammed into a smaller space. using less electricity and creating less heat means that while increasing density, you don't have to increase the support systems.
Anyone who has tried to get thier phone replaced, or any of those other little
things you might need, knows that it's a pain. There are hundreds of places
for me to get a cell phone in my city, but 2 places that I can go for service
after the fact. Two places in the greater Portland area that are actual AT&T
stores.
Case in point:
I am stupid and don't get a service plan/warrenty on my phone (This will not
happen again). Of course, my phone starts going crazy hanging up on people,
switching the audio from my headset to my handset and back again, and all sorts
of things like that. I call AT&T, ask if there is anything that can be done.
Thier answer,Buy a new phone. Well, I bought a phone, I broke it,
I should replace it. But good customer service in my eyes would have been a
little more. When I tried bargaining with them, it had no effect. I offered
to extend my contract another year, or even 2, no use. Being that I was broke,
I begged my brother to give me one of his old phones, and am using a sub standard
phone to get by until I can scratch up some cash.
I am glad the future is finally here. I've been waiting for stuff like this forever. Althought people thought it might come in the form of a grenade, this is even better.
You could always set up some sort of support structure to point all those lasers into one controlled location. if you could fucus all the energy into a small area, I bet you might be able to start a fire!
Do you really think a buggy piece of shit like Linux was even a couple years ago would bring in money?
Windows has it's problems, but at least I could get windows 98 installed most the time. An average user in 98 would not have been able to even come close to getting Linux installed.

When will people learn?
The most redundant systems can still break, if you have your head in your ass and don't keep them up.

Tell us what you really think . . . .
slashdoters need things to bitch about, or then they might have to come up with thier own original thought.

Windows: "Where do you want to go today?"
Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming, or what?"
Where is RC ProAm, or Rad Racer?

Too busy at Free6 to post, I'm sure. :)
back when I had a G3 lombard, they replaced my power brick free of charge. Now, the iPod batteries. I love you apple.
This sort of community thing is like people in like cars waving to eachother, or the motorcyclist wave, or what not.
I have to say though, this gives me nice warm feelings. Makes me want to go buy an iPod.
I am glad the future is finally here. I've been waiting for stuff like this forever. Althought people thought it might come in the form of a grenade, this is even better.
Man I love to see apple in the news.
I hope that ome of these patches fixes my lockup issues in 10.2.8

I'm using an SMC product currently too. When I get my first paycheck from this job, it's gone. Worst money I ever spent.
Soon everyone will have thier own whale distro, like Linux!
I can't strongly enough say how much of a bad idea this is.
Bringing more stuff to earth is not the answer! Use less, re-use more!

Don't kid yourself, Linux sucks more than you think for the average person.
Get some AI working on figuring out women. When it figures them out, we know we've found something awesome!
No Problem.
any time.
Are you implying that I should read the article?Strange logic.
Stop being bitches.
