  1. Re:Should this be YRO? on Olympics to Have Live Online Coverage, But Not For Americans · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Free press my ass.

    What? It's the video stream from a different country, not the US, not protected/regulated by any rules/laws/etc from our country. I'm sure there are are many broadcasts that we have had in the US that we have not necessarily shared with other countries. Almost sounds like it's cheap of our broadcasting companies to not pay into such coverage. This sounds like a stupid case of "poor us" for the US, when really, there are lots of other countries out there not getting this footage, let alone ANY footage of the games.

    What's this error that I see?
    I do not like this 503.
    How can this have come to be,
    Using software that is free.

  6. Re:So far I have attempted the following: on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    Pulled the cPU out of a running computer at school once. He was playing 3d-pong in the tech lab, and had been asked several times to knock it off, as the computer needed to be used for actual work. He wouldn't move, so the CPU was pulled. :) The image stayed on the screen. Reinstalling the CPU after powering down fixed it of course. Man was that a good laugh.

  7. Re:Rocks on First Impressions of Slackware 10 · · Score: 1

    Hot plug doesn't add zaxismapping to the X config file though.

  8. Re:Control - U? on Firefox Undocumented Settings Compilation · · Score: 2, Informative

    Control -U opens the source if you don't have the cursor in the address bar, if it is in the address bar then it will clear out the line.

    I don't think that this is a firefox-specific feature, as I have this available in an xterm, at the console, etc.

  9. Re:SDF on Unix Shell Accounts? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I agree, I started using this before I had my first linux box on the internet around 99. Last I checked (about a year or so ago) they had everything that you had requested, though I can't verify the availability of any compilers.

  10. Ummm? Specifics? on Mailing Lists for Techies? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What do you find interesting, and what do you need to be informed about?
    Security?
    Wine updates?
    http://seclists.org/
    http://www.cert.org/
    Those are interesting and informative for me, but a perl developer can probably give a damn about the latest nmap release.

    What are your needs?

  11. Re:They just gave it all away. on Forget the PDA, Here Comes the TDA · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not neccesarily true though. There are always those who will go to any extent or price to say "I had it first."

    Look at people who pay several hundreds of dollars for a cell phone just because T-Mobile doesn't offer it yet.

  12. Wait a minute... on Forget the PDA, Here Comes the TDA · · Score: 1

    7 processors?

    Can you even have that many in a handheld? And wouldn't you have to have an even ammount, like 2, or 8.

    And with that many processors, wouldn't you expect a nicer resoluation than 240x320?

    Come now, we all know us nerds can't handle pain very well, let alone that of a plastic BB. It's already threatening enough with the possibility of a laser getting in your eyes. :)

  15. Insulting in a way. on Unix To Beef Up Longhorn · · Score: 1

    ...Microsoft could rapidly become the biggest supplier of Unix software if Longhorn proves a success...

    Nothing can beat the open source movement, honestly. (world wide developers, versus company wide - even though MS expands to other countries, it is still one company) Making a remark that MS could become the biggest supplier is almost an insult.

    ...very difficult for any non-standard OS (Linux, MacOS, BSD)...

    Don't confuse "non-standard" with "uncommon." Infortunately those three OS have mode standards among eachother than the various windows do.

  20. Wierd distro choice on Dell to Ship Linux Desktops in Europe · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ..coming from a company that uses Redhat on the server side of things. I mean, I know that Linspire has been geared towards former windows users who use linux for whatever reason, and the major desktop target audience from Dell is full of windows users, but now they are going to have to widen the support level won't they?

  21. Provide Media! on Educational Software To Donate With Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Whatever you do, be sure to include the installation media for everything that you install. If it comes from a download, then burn it to a CD with instructions on how to re-install. Sure, your cdrom doesn't work, but they may get sent another in the future and the internet may not be handy to re-obtain, or the possible future donater may not include any software with his/her charity.

  22. Re:Why don't you ask the recipients? on Educational Software To Donate With Laptop? · · Score: 1

    I bet it would be a lot harder for the area to get $100 dollars than a laptop. Sure, you can sell the laptop for $100. But trying to buy that same laptop back is gonna be going for much more.

  23. Re:Make Firefox look like IE on Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because one of the biggest hurdles of getting people to change software is the interface. Most end users say to hell with functionality, if they can't recognize how it looks.
