How about having the brain in one place, and the body in the other? and be able to switch bodies. Of course, you'd need either FTL comms, or lag correction (pushlatency!)
As for the media sensation, I'm not sure. I've not actually seen any hard science published by him, and I do get the feeling he's only one of the leaders in the field, but he's famous because he takes risks.
I want to know the method and intensity of irradiation, the number of rats used in the study etc.
One suggested method to alleviate this problem, would be to have the ariel (sp?) on the bottom of the 'phone. It'd still work, but be further from sensitive brain cells, but the obvious solution is handsfree equipment. Give us decent voice recognition and we're sorted. "Phone bob... *click*click* hi bob, i'm stuck in traffic..." etc.
I cant get it to compile. It freaks out with awk somehow, and I have NO idea why. I will of course keep trying.
The persistant objects is probably what I like the most about it, altho' memory leaks could be a killer. I hope theres a 'reset object' call that reinitialises an object from its original template (or whatever it has).
I think I like the idea because its so unlike anything I've used before, except my Psion 3a, which is lying in bits on my desk.
* Why is man5 always out of date WRT/etc in my experience, its not, but it doesnt document even 1/4 of whats there. So incomplete is a better description.
* Why does Linus still hate the GGI project He believes that X is good enough, and its his right to think that. He's not actively against GGI, but more against the inclusion of KGI in the mainstream kernel. I doubt the clueless newbies even know about GGI:)
* Will DOSEMU ever run Windows98 No. Not in its current incarnation. Win98 requires access to protected mode, which isnt availible when you're running an x86 VM.
* Why isnt BERLIN integrated into the kernel For the same reasons X/Gnome isnt. It'd be daft:) Imagine how long a 20meg kernel would take to boot;)
* If I disassemble a proprietry driver module, is it Open Source(tm)? No, you'd not have the copyright for that thing, so you wouldnt be allowed to declare it open source. * When is/usr/doc/usr/share/info, man, going to be integrated into a single help system? Debian has a neat package, called dwww which translates pretty much any documentation into one search engine, running locally. It basically pulls info2html, man2html and/usr/doc into one interface.
* If I piss off Linus, will Tove kick my ass? Hmm, dunno, I think its hard to piss off Linus.
PS: apologies for any misquotings of the questions, mozilla's copy/paste isnt currently working.
a nice vector graphics app for X. I can get by with the Gimp, but it doesnt suit my way of working as well as Xara Studio (Now CorelXARA). I wish corel would hurry up and port CorelDRAW to X, I'd probably buy it, assuming I can speak nicely to my bank manager:)
When you install a smtp package one of the final options is 'send a local message from postmaster to root, send a test message to the linux counter project, dont do a test'
It has managed to get the "conspiracy theorists" into the news again, which cant be that bad. The trouble with this kind of action is theres no way to tell wether is worked or not, the NSA sure isnt gonna say "gee, they managed to break our computers by sending loads of spam", and you're not going to look over some secret airbase and see smoke rising from a computer centre. I would have contributed more, but I didnt send very many mails that day:)

GPG support's worked for me for quite a while, add lines like these to your.muttrc: # GPG settings set pgp_default_version=gpg set pgp_gpg=/home/yarn/bin/gpg This works with Mutt 0.95.3i (1999-02-12) (packaged with debian)
Either go up to london and steal Babbage's differential engine (Even if it doesnt run linux, it looks damn pretty while its working out log tables) or live in an old mill I know that has a few hundred watt generator in it. (powered by water, I think that's Y2k compliant)
Whilst a heavily loaded server such as slashdot, or a main party web page costs a LOT to keep running, you can run a small-medium web page for very little these days.
Just the cost for a domain name, and a little for the hosting.
If it were so expensive I dont think the porn pages would do so well;)
Slashdot Mirror
I heard that despite the USB style connector 'USB' keyboards are still PS2 underneath and the USB controller on the mobo emulates a PS2 controller.
Anyone know if I was hallucinating?
I hot swap PS2 devices frequently.
AFAIK the only difference betweeen an AT keyboard connector and a PS2 keyboard is the connector.
The PS2 mouse is moderately different tho.

Liquid He is far too expensive, I can get liquid Nitrogen for about 50p a pint, which should be plenty.
I have to try this:
:)
1. Get a (real) potato
2. Put it in liquid Nitrogen for about an hour
3. Drop it.
I expect it'll be pretty shatter resistant, just like the debian potato. I shall report here
According to the ads here in the UK.
wolf3d was on 2 or 3, doom was 5.
I had win95 beta on floppies, that was fun ~21 floppies. OS2 was about the same.
Perl is amazingly portable, without having to recompile. This is more important than anything else.
Additionally, its readable in executable form, you dont have to dig out the source should you wish to change anything.
Its gino who wrote that, not Hemos. I dont think its his job to grammar/spell check submissions.
i've never tried this, but how about

Thats fine, I personnally think it should be at about 2, funny. It was at 5, interesting when I posted. This post doesnt merit that ;)
This isnt insightful, its only marginally funny. I'm looking forward to when it gets to meta-moderation.
It only takes one or two moderators with nothing better to do to get stuff like this to the top.
I've noticed that once something starts going up it tends to accelerate past 3 and up to five, even if its only mildly worthwhile.
I dont actually use CorelDRAW in windows, but I accept that my favourite app, CorelXARA will probably never make it to Linux
If you dont mind running windows, CorelXARA (aka Xara Studio) is really nice, see Xara.co.uk for a feature list etc.
This is pretty good! Its quick, and it seems to be written in python, wow.
:)
I'd rate it at about the corel 3-4 stage, although it has some nifty features that I've wanted for Corel for a long time

It aint in opengl, its in glide.
This seems to be because Epic cant program their way out of a paper bag in GL.
