A-ha! I knew people weren't really hitting backspace!! That explains a lot of things around here... but for what reason... only God in his Glory knows. And CmdrTaco.
God, I don't want a squad, I just want single player where I take on an army from Hell--ALONE! I don't want some stupid AI cannon fodder to watch out for, especially if they are not skeletons you can resummon all day long.
G is for growth Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.
Well, that's all good, because all you have to do to upgrade is to change a symlink and maybe recompile a package or two (or none if you check your USE flags).
I've been running 2005.0 for at least 3 months without problems.
It is no BS, I connected my computer (XP SP2 I think, or maybe before it was released) directly to the Internet for a while. Some mysterious spam icons appeared on the desktop in less than an hour.
Let me quote from the l4-hurd mailing list (posted 02 feb):

If you mean "building" as in "compiling it", that should be possible as soon as we ported the dynamic linker, or at least made sure the dynamic linker "builds" (ie, "compiles"), if python can be cross-build.
If you mean "building" as in "compiles _and runs_", then we are talking about a much longer time-frame:)
With my glibc port, I can already build simple applications, but most won't run because they need a filesystem or other gimmicks (like, uhm, fork and exec), and I only have stubs (dummy functions which always return an error) for that now.
So, for the time being, a measure of progress is what functionality is implemented: drivers, filesystem, signal processing, process management, etc. Luckily, we have so much existing knowledge to draw from (the Hurd on Mach source code, for example), that I am carefully optimistic that progress can kick in very quickly once we have sorted out some fundamental (low-level) design issues and got a sufficient understanding of the details of the system.

I might as well quote this too, which I think this story most likely refers to (posted on 27 jan~):
Hi,
with the changes of today, the glibc patch set in CVS supports startup and initialization up to the invocation of the main() function - this means important things like malloc() work.
Of course, there is a lot of cheating going on, and the implementation is full of gaps and stubs. But this step forward means that we can do easy testing by just writing a program and linking it to glibc, and run it as the "bootstrap filesystem" server.
TLS/TSD seems to work without any problems - important things like the default locale are set up correctly, and thus strerror() works. __thread variables are supported, glibc uses them itself.
There were a couple of fixes and extensions needed in wortel and the startup code, but it wasn't so much. My understanding of the glibc code has reached an all-time high (not that this required much;)
If you want to reproduce all this, you need to configure, make and install the software as usual. It is important that your compiler can find the installed header files afterwards! Only then you can reconfigure your source with "--enable-libc" and try to build the C library according to the README.
Static linking against this new libc should be possible after (manual) installation, I guess, but I always use a very hackisch and long gcc command line to cheat myself into a binary that I can then use as "filesystem server" (the last one in the list) in the GRUB configuration. See the README for details.
I think that this basically concludes the first step of the initial bootstrap phase. By being able to link a program against glibc, and by booting all the way up to that programs main() function, we can now easily explore and develop the system in any way we want.
The dinner is prepared!:)
Thanks, Marcus
This uses a lot of advanced words I have no idea what they could mean though, but I don't mind as long as someone does and writes an article:)
Still a long way to go. Not much one can do except wait... or send in patches if you have kernel hacking experience!

I would rather consider the cable company the culprits here.

The best part is that it is not an April Fools joke even though it was announced on April the first :)
I use about 80MB of my space, so I'm happy
Gentoo runs great on my PII.

Hm, I wonder what CSS media types the PSP browser accepts, screen most likely, handheld... it is possible.
I also wonder how good the CSS support is.

One word should be enough, and that word is 'Extensibility'. The system is just so nice that I would never want to use anything else.
Two Funny/Overrated special attacks in one combo, this will hurt tomorrow.
It's more work writing a browser that parses awful code than it is to write one that supports web standards... why IE, why :'(
If they have in-game ads I would expect in-game stores too.
and uses a flexible control algorithm to control roasting segments.
Eh, I want a genetic algorithm that generates the ultimate taste by feeding roasted beans to monkeys and having them rate it by bashing buttons.
No they don't, they have said that the problem is with their server configurations (load-balancing), they already have enough servers.
;)
More servers will just make things harder and probably slower... somehow
... this will be the last day Google is considered a Good company on Slashdot.

It's not a translation either, it's the original text written directly in engrish, possibly from some internal script.
Link please :)
Just make a whitelist where they are allowed and don't filter them then.
I win.
Nanoboobs.
That's what you can expect if such technology reached the market.
Excuse me, but I have to make some jokes about monkeys only to be corrected by being told that chimps are actually apes.
Yes, Discworld references sometimes do get modded Funny.
I didn't get any of that :(
Must be because I got the platinum editions, of both I think.
He's not using -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti for his CXXFLAGS, I'm disappointed.
Sure, it's quite annoying having to edit the ebuilds that don't filter the flags, but it's worth it.
I can't really agree with the law here.
