I did a umsdos install with my first slackware install back in 1995. This was before slackware three came out because I remember getting fed up waiting for slack to come with 2.0.x and got debian instead. Never looked back:)
You should use a handsfree type adaptor. It'd mean you have both hands free, and you're not irradiating your head with RF. Then, if you're just chatting you keep your pda-phone on your belt, but if you need it you unclip it and start typing/scribbling etc
I think that gnome's mini-commander is an excellent way of integrating the CLI to a GUI. You can just use it to enter URLs etc, or you can run a complex shell command and have the output appear in a window.
I dont know if KDE has something similar, but it should;)
I made an app that made a shar archive, eg, it could unarchive itself. After extracting itself to/tmp, it then tried to figure out the distro it was running on, by looking for dpkg, or rpm.
If it found dpkg it converted itself into a deb and installed itself.
The same with rpm. If it found nothing it just installed as a TGZ.
If you want it, email me and I'll dig it out. Its just a bundle of shell scripts.
Part of the Alpha chipset was named EV after Electric Vlastic (sp?), a phenomenon in which passing a large current through certain pickle made it glow an eerye green.
I read this a long time ago, and I cant remember where, so it MUST be true:)
I'd say that the moment people are charged more than P&P its not a beta.
I'm not even sure about letting them off with charging postage.

most servers i know would manage about 1 on all of those. With the possible exception of an ol' dell 386 I used to use. It took tyre levers to get the case off. (I think it'd manage a 4/1/1)
Where I work we have digital cameras* that take pictures in 3D and work with gamma rays. And a camera that constructs 3d images from radiowaves in a magnetic field.
PET and MRI (aka NMR) are old technology tho, PET's resolution being limited to ~8mm iirc, due to the fact that a positron has to drift a certain distance before annihilating (Statistically speaking). MRI's drawbacks are that you cant have any metal in the subject.
Oh, and they're both expensive
(* If you define a digital camera as something that creates images from life)
so should everyone else. In other words, they can write their software ANY way they want, who cares, as long as they dont reduce other's freedom by unethical marketing practises
You'll hit the limit of the drift speed of charge carriers in silicon, and even GaAs, before that.
Oscillations of the order of 1 GHz are still nowhere near visible light, let alone UV/X/Gamma rays.
The shielding already availible on cases is more than adequate, they done take in enough power to cause damage.
Cellphones actively transmit, so there is *some* reason for research in that area
Why do the enforcement agencies need more powers

They can already tap phone lines. Most people connect via phone lines. I'm sure it'd be simple to copy the serial data from a phone line and un-ppp the tcp/ip packets.
It wouldnt be TOO easy, but it'd be doable. I agree that they may have to tap communications occasionally, but it should be harder than just phoning up an ISP and saying "open back door #145, we'll show you a warrent later"
Visio make a useful program, that integrates well with office. They stick with the newest MS trends (I refuse to call them innovations) and work with MS. They were practically in MS's pocket for years before being bought out.
This is probably a good thing for users of office and Visio, integration is bound to become tighter, but its bad news for those who want Visio for Linux.
A decent vector graphics program is pretty much the only non-games thing I really miss in Linux
'Build your own SPARC' in an absolutely ANCIENT issue of Byte I have lying around somewhere. I seem to recall it also had the first ever local bus PC, a discussion about OOPS vs DDE, a bit on Unix fragmentation and a sort of SGML tutorial. I'll have to dig it out and read it again.
Slashdot Mirror
I dont think its actually suboptimal. Its just patched in software :)
:)
If you use a system of mirrors to reverse the images given to the eyes after a few weeks the brain will reconfigure to accept that as 'normal' input.
All we need is to get linux to do the same with its hardware

If they create a microscopic black hole the damage is more likely to be done by that black hole 'evapourating' and causing a very big explosion.

hmm, maybe that explains why some posts obviously intended for that article are appearing here.

was it 'Error 98, you are not using MS Internet Explorer'?
I'd be more inclined to suspect the slashdot effect combined with crappy servers than MS writing an AI that works.

Its something to do with mineral oil. Not certain what grade etc.
