  4. planeshift in gentoo on Planeshift Enters Open Testing · · Score: -1

    I hear a lot of people mentioning it is not readily available for their linux system. For those running ppc and x86's on gentoo, you can `emerge planeshift`.

  16. Re:In other news.. on Sun Working to Obsolete Motherboards · · Score: 1, Funny

    Early 2008 is a very optimistic goal. Professional analysis indicates "hackers" will surely have stolen the source code, forcing a rewrite and delaying it more than a year.

  20. Re:why not? on NTSB Recommends Black Boxes For All Cars · · Score: 1

    There is a quote from Benjamin Franklin

    "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."

    I think this is (an extreme of) how a lot of /.ers feel about their privacy. They feel that some things must be respected about their privacy. Tracking / catching terrorists would be a great thing, but it is a trade-off in this case; one that many don't want to make. Every time I go above the speed limit, instead of being arrested as a terrorist, I could be cited for speeding. This may sound paranoid, but once this threshold (of privacy) is breeched, it may never be mended and this stuff has a tendency of moving from catching capital criminals and terrorists to petty, non-violent crime.

    Bottom line: we need to watch carefully who gets access to the black box data.

  21. Funny quote on Why You Should Use XHTML · · Score: 5, Informative

In fact, any modern browser. Most accept XHTML documents as application/xml as well. See the XHTML Media-type test for details. Does Microsoft Internet Explorer accept the media type application/xhtml+xml? No.
