I've been a long time user and fan of Debian. I very much appreciate Gentoo, but it was never clear to me how this differed from apt-build in Debian. In Debian, the user has the option of downloading pre-installed binaries (apt-get) and building them from source (apt-build or apt-get with some special flags, if I'm not mistaken) using compiler options. For example, here is a good 'howto' for apt-building a Debian system.
I guess this busts the myth that they're the same person.
slow news day.

Are Videogames Art?

· Score: 2, Interesting
However, I like many people, have video game music on their iPods alongside "real" artists, and I'll replay FMV sequences or whole games because I enjoyed the story -- just as I would re-read a good book.
Also, there is an aspect of timelessness to art. Quoting Ebert (and his main argument):
...no one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great dramatists, poets, film-makers, novelists and composers.
The video game age is very young, and this perception will inevitably change as it matures. I'll encourage my kids to play Final Fantasy and listen to Nobuo Uematsu.
In terms of oil not burned, or greenhouse gases not exhausted into the atmosphere, one bulb is equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the roads.
if every one of 110 million American households bought just one [CFL]..
so if one bulb eliminates the pollution from 1.3 million cars, then 110 million Americans using one bulb would eliminate the pollution of 143 trillion cars.
If we reasonably assume that the average household has a hundred and fifty bulbs replaced by CFLs, we would eliminate the pollution from 21 quadrillion cars!
With a world population of 6.5 billion, we could drive 3.3 million cars each.
I use two of these CFLs, so now I don't feel so bad driving my Hummer to rain forests to burn them down with oil, and keep myself cool from the fires with my leaky air-conditioner.
In my research lab, we have a Faraday caged room with dimensions of about 35feet x 50feet x 30feet. We house 3 NMR spectrometers there, and use the cage to shield us from stray RF from radio stations and other sources. (The lab is in NYC, and as you can imagine, there's a lot of EM noise).
The system works quite well, but we still get quite a bit of leakage through the two doorways (they have a copper lining as well). We can still pickup cell phone calls within 3-4 feet of the doorway (when closed), but not much more than that. However, the room is quite dead for WiFi transmission.
instead preferring to stick with PCs, printers, and not killing people in fiery laptop-related explosions.
I'm a Dell representative, and I'd like to say that this statement is not entirely true. We're also in the business of selling monitors, and we'll continue to kill people in fiery laptop-related explosions.
I don't think that this is a bad thing. Chemists do have special training to handle many chemicals. Places like United Nuclear are both dangerous and irresponsible -- they sell sodium, mercury, radioactive materials and so on.
The alternatives to doing chemistry at home are:
- university chemistry classes. If you would like to try different experiments, talk to the TA and course instructor -- most of them like chemistry too
- do a science fair project. I did this in high school, and I worked with a professor in his lab. This was great experience, and he watched over my shoulder at all times.
- befriend a chemist (most are quite friendly!). They have access to the proper equipment, hoods, showers, *disposal* and so on. Plus it will give them the much needed opportunity to socialize.

I've had wine and Crossover office 4.2 run on 64-bit debian. It won't run natively in 64-bit mode, but it runs seemlessly as a 32-bit binary under chroot (or dchroot). You won't even notice that it's running in 32-bit mode.
Check out this HOW-TO from debian AMD64 on setting up a 32-bit chroot environment.
Since "Canadians between 12 and 24 years of age are responsible for 78 per cent of illegal music downloading" (source)
and "95% of those who have eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25" (source), P2P sharing leads to anorexia. QED.
Appeal - "The Appeal project is a mechanism for bringing artists, usability experts, programmers, and enthusiasts together in the earliest stages of development by holding in-person meetings and maintaining ongoing communication over mailing lists, wikis, and Web-based forums"
Tenor - "a contextual linkage engine. Tenor will gather contextual data -- such as the metadata stored in MP3s, the contents of text files, and relationships between a file and the application that created it -- and present it to applications via another KDE framework. This will allow applications to provide more useful ways of searching files for users."
Plasma - "design and implement an entirely new desktop shell, combining the desktop (including wallpaper and icons), the panel and its applets, and desktop applets like SuperKaramba into a coherent and innovative vision"
RuDI - "a compatibility layer in between KDE and Qt that would allow developers to write pure Qt applications that can take advantage of KDE's powerful features"

With that said choice is still good.

The quote link didn't work for me.
I think this might be the link (but it's in Australia?).

This is a good opportunity to outline a few tips for strong passwords. For example, I use my username twice and the number of states as my password.

"Windows Servers Beat Linux Servers"
I think they're using this definition of beat.

This is true. In my experience, at least 60% of Americans host websites with pornography, of which at least 20% feature donkeys and agile mules.
finally experience some of the great innovation happening over on the Windows platform.
you're setting your expectations way too high. Think solitaire but with crashes every 10 minutes.
If they're bouncy, they will come.

my guess is that linux kernel 2.6.9 was just released.
"the machine would basically, putting it in Windows terms, core dump or blue screen at random"
whereas you can expect windows to core dump periodically and predictably.
