In Open source, even if most people don't read the source code, chances are that a programmer will and will see that the program sends out information and will tell everyone about it.
I'm a high school sophmore right now and everyone (including me) who has a graphing calc just uses it to play games all day. I do use it for math too. While some kids would properly use Palm Pilots, the temptation of putting games on them and playing them is just too great to resist. Also, with the infared feature you could pass notes, and it my school at least, turn on the TVs during the middle of a test. =)
I don't think the internet will matter very much because only a very small percentage of the population compose the cyber-lite. Most people online just use the internet occasionally and don't really care about crypto export laws and things of that nature. Al Gore even said he invented the internet and I doubt thats making people want to re-elect him.
Hey well I can log in ok and all but comments are displayed Threaded even though I have it set to Nested, don't know why. Post Anonymously is a good feature for ACs who want custom stuff. Keep up the good work guys!
I like both Intel and AMD and its good to see them competing. It brings down prices and is making Intel release its chips faster than they normally would.
I have nothing against iBooks but I would think that the kind of person who wants to run linux isn't the kind who buys one of these portable toilet seats.
Haha this reminds me of a part in the book Snow Crash where at the FedLand the computers record everything the employees do. Someone puts out a memo and the computer times how long you read it and for each length of time theres a different bad explanation like 20-30 mins -- slacker.
Aren't hard drives fragile enough that you wouldn't want to be carrying one around in your pocket? If it takes away the portability of the device it isn't a good idea.
This isn't true. If the only way to get photoshop was to buy it more people would. People who pirate all their software are willing to pay over $1000 for a computer, so I really think they'd pay $600 for a program.
I wasn't impresseed with MetroX. I tried it on my old rendition based card and it was unaccelerated just like the XFree86 server. I couldn't imagine paying money for it. Accelerated X ran quite nicely on that card.
My guess would be soon now that nVIDIA is making their own X11 servers. Any video card that has enough demand for drivers eventually gets them unless the manufacturer is holding specs.
Heh high school CS is terrible, I haven't taken CS yet but at my school they teach BASIC. What kind of challenge is that? You can go to another school and take C classes in the evening but thats a hassle.
I know now you'll probably make this a -1, but moderators why did you make my previous post "O, Redundant". I looked at the article, read the few comments there at the time, and posted this. I didn't see anything that said exactly what I did at the time. If I had I wouldn't have posted anything. Moderators you guys need to lighten up. You're here to moderate good posts up, the only things you should moderate down are "first posts" and flamebait. I don't see what I did to deserve a 0.
Why is this guy installing 1.3? 2.3 is the current version. I've never used Caldera but I assume that they've improved it a lot by then. Also, why doesn't he try another distribution? Some distributions are better than others for certain people. Maybe he can say Caldera sucks, but until he uses linux more he shouldn't judge it.

Don't go so far..maybe a dual though. ;)

How will a metal detector stop anything? If the person has a gun what will stop them from walking right through it?

How can you have two successful relationships? If you had one it'd have to end for the second one to begin, in which care it wouldn't be successful.

Maybe because they haven't decided what the official name will be. Also it just sounds kinda cool. =)
It will turn into a red-giant and then a white dwarf. Eventually a neutron star maybe. Sun doesn't have enough mass to be a black hole.

It was marked up because its a long post.

$100 seems like a very reasonable price to me.

GL Quake? look what you said, GL Quake uses OpenGL, not Direct3d(part of directx). Thats why it runs well.
You use the text installer.

Taking it personally? But this is SLASHDOT, what else is there to this world.
Off topic? Guys if you had been fair in the first place I never would have posted this thing.
