But like Rob said, think of what this would do for projects like Wine! And, holy shit, OS/2 and other OSes could have ten times better emulation support than they currently do, making it much easier for users to experient with other OSes. Any source they release can only help us...I hope this for real...
At the very least, it would be amusing to actually see what has been causing some of these BSODs all these years...
even more simple than that, if 1394 is peer-to-peer, how would it circumvent the same problems that token ring has (ie network segmentation by "breaking the ring")?
I don't know about getting rid of Ethernet...its still a damn cheap medium when compared to 1394, and its much easier to cable twisted pair right now than it is to install firewire...I think...I've never seen firewire, now that I think about it...what are the connectors and cable like...
Okay, two things: Intel was a major player in the USB movement, if not the leader; they had to lean on MS to support it fully. And while Intel is the leading motherboard manufacturer, they do make and spec a number of the support chips built around their processors...so to get quality Firewire support on x86 boards, they really should be involved...
Oh, come on...we can all complain about taxes and IRS and whatnot but, newsflash: THE USPS RECEIVES NO MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Yup, they are (and this is only a guess) the largest government-supported monopoly in America. And they are supported solely by services rendered, AKA stamps, Priority Mail, Memorabilia, etc. For a federally-associated entity, they are fairly on the straight and narrow.
I agree with you on the point that if the government thinks it can tax it, it probably will sooner or later, but be easy the USPS...we all know how "sensitive" they can be...
I need to second this...Orgazmo and BASEketball are two of the funniest movies I've seen in the last five years...and I say this only because I haven't seen Cannibal: The Musical yet. Trey and Matt haven't lost their edge, even though the series is really watered down...
People have talked about doing this before...basically, most of these articles are on news sites that depend on ad revenue (most of which depends on code created on-the-fly). If Slashdot were to cache copies of these articles, you don't see the ads and those news sites lose revenue.
...you know why? We've got the slashcode. That's right, if things get really bad, we can go and start our own "New For Nerds. Stuff That Matters." site. Wasn't this the whole point of the OSS movement? Having the flexibability to bend code to our needs? If we need a site with more editorial integrity, we simply go and start our own. Simple as that.
No, we've been finding safer ways to get into orbit: Apollo and Mercury capsules we're death traps, veritable Yugos with rockets strapped to them. And they were single use. Today's shuttle is neither. Furthermore, we've also been spending the past thirty years sending probes that gathered more information for us any number of moon landings ever would have. Why do we need to send humans to explore?
...does anyone know where I can get these utilities? I followed the link provided by Hemos, but Streambox apparently hasn't updated it yet. Is there another link?
...but this guy has decided to give the money to people who really need it: Nashville's Table, a soup kitchen operation of sorts.
From the link on EBay:
Nashville's Table, formed in '89 largely through the efforts of Phil Bredesen, a healthcare executive who later was elected mayor of Nashville, collects excess prepared and perishable foods from groceries, restaurants, and caterers and distributes it to agencies that serve hungry, needy, and homeless people. Since then, Nashville's Table has collected and distributed more than 2 million pounds of food--at no cost to either the donors or the recipient agencies. Nashville's Table relies on funding by donations from individuals, corporations, churches, and foundations. Currently, Nashville's Table works with about 175 donor groceries and restaurants, but the addition of two trucks to its fleet doubled its capacity. The not-for-profit organization says that 17 percent of the population of Nashville can be labeled hungry or threatened by hunger, while 20 percent of all prepared and perishable food in Nashville ultimately gest wasted.--Bill Hobbs
I may have read the article wrong, but I saw no mention of Be releasing the source to BeOS, only the binaries to a stripped down version. Saying that BeOS has been open-sourced is like saying MSIE has been open-sourced. Let's not jump the gun and shout out open-source at the first chance (unless, like I said, I missed something).
Wow, just watched the last ten minutes of that...that was absolutely horrible. Replace D&D with alcohol or drugs and you've got an after-school special. The ending was exceptionally dank...how many successful movies in recent years do you remember ending in monologue, besides the Matrix?
What other part of the movie is there that matters? That's like saying that you have a really cool car with custom rims, bass cannon and a bitchin' paint job...if only you had an engine...

This suggests that a GUI needs a CLI to be able to function. Where is the CLI in MacOS?
Montoya to FBI: Internet...you keep using that word, but I do not think it means what you think it means...

What the _hell_ was that?
...I just looked at the webcam, and the date said 03/02/2000.
Live from the future? Or a weird date format?

Yeah, whatever, football nerd....

I realize I was wrong, but how is this Redundant? Out of the first ten posts, it's the first one to ask this question....

Why would you want a check that you can't cash anyway?
You mean I just spent $2300 on a $500 check that I can't cash? Damn it!
I think the point here is the charity...the check itself is a novel excuse to give to a good cause.

acting and the story line sucked...
