if it is the slashdot effect it wouldnt be too out of character for him to claim that slashdot performed a DOS attack on him, 'justifying' the referal block he seems to have in effect.

It is possible to reconnect nerves, infact, if the nerve sheath isnt very damaged (a very clean cut) it can grow back itself. However, once cut (without an intact nerve sheath) a nerve begins to die back to the next link (probably in the spine somewhere) and we dont have the precision to be able to rebuild into such a densely packed system.
Think of it like a huge bundle of wires, glued together, if one broke, would you be able to separate it?
i didnt put modules_install in on purpose, if it fails during build for some reason, you want to be able to look at the output before you actually "commit yourself"
What I *did* forget is make clean:)
Thanks for the wget tip tho

Try this, changing the ftp site, and zImage to bzImage if you have to.

Why not add in a DVD-RAM/DVD-RW drive in instead. That'd be a way to keep programs you really want to keep, and not limit you to 4h of high quality.
I was searching for E distributed as.debs, and I came across a pretty damn hot flame from raster at some guy on a mailing list, along the lines of "everyone uses redhat so thats all I'll support"
personally I like imagemagick because it has lots of CLI utilities, tie em together with scripts and you can do *lots* of useful stuff. It's frontends are less inspiring (I always use gimp for that), but its the old unix "small programs glued together" methodology that I like.
In quantum tunnelling, the tunnelling particle has been considered to have negative energy, as it enters a region it doesnt have sufficent energy to enter (classically)
Some theorists postulate that it has "borrowed" energy from its surroundings, and has an energy debt, so has negative energy.
Putting negative energy into e=mc**2 gives interesting results for the mass, obviously.
The article was very interesting, but I dont think its been refereed yet, so I wouldnt get excited yet. It seems to rely on "Alcubierre Space" (which I've not seen defined) being either wrong, or adjustable. As its raining, and I should be revising for an exam tomorrow, I dont want to chase up references!
If, as is stated in the paper, microscopic warp bubbles are possible, would it not be possible to have a "warp foam", ie: a huge number of warp bubbles, and have them move together, that would avoid the size problem.
The current linux filesystem is quick, and does what is required by a basic unix-style filesystem. Linux *does* have the ability to use fat32, but fat32 doesnt have all the features that are required (file ownership for example).
NTFS, on the otherhand, looks like it *might* be interesting. There is preliminary support for read/write NTFS filesystems.
As for GUIs, it seems that they're sticking with the old motif toolkit for IE, thats not good. Motif has numerous UI contradictions (from my pov).
If they get a false impression from being slashdotted then release their product, only to make *no* money, word will get around, and the moment a poll gets posted on/. it will be invalidated.
Also, whats the betting that the moment they get it finished, and the news is posted here, huge numbers of OS fanatics will be saying "bah, its not opensource, we'll have something thats better within 3 weeks" even though they probably voted yes on the original poll.

a kind of distributed.net gone mad, heh.
And they'd still not cracked rc5-128

Wait for the price to drop a bit tho'
Its developed in .au, where I doubt this law will apply.
I really like wm2, but its programmed in C++ which most gnome hackers wont touch with a bargepole.

Does this mean that the pictures taken by the mars ranger, which were panoramic, were illegal? Obviously not.
The arguement appears to be about the usage of a file format, which I consider to be less important than the technique, but still brain dead.
i expect he did know this, but theres a difference betweek "knowing" or being told something and experiencing it.
John Carmack's plan is probably read by more people than slashdot (albiet often via quake news sites) so its good propaganda.

damn, i thought they'd fixed the netscape-locale bug that filled entry boxes with meaningless ascii
are you using a proxy?
i often get that because i have to access external sites via a http proxy
imagine it, a 9600bps link, with -5sec latency!
=)

My birthday, cool!
I hope I can find some nice physicsy uses for it, pity I've just finished this year's extended project.
Need some *big* plans for next year I suppose.
This has been covered on the linux kernel mailing list, and is in the FAQ here The gist of it is, ext2 is fast enough on half-decent hardware
Packages in contrib are free, and the non-free section isnt distributed on the main (2cd) set.
So the "Official" distro is free.
Team Fortress 2: Server, probably, client Very unlikely, Valve have already refused to do a linux client for halflife.
Tiberium Sun (of course): possible, strategy is easier to port
Battlezone 2: i doubt it, they used d3d for BZ 1, afaik they've not switched. This makes it hard to port.

heh, if the other moderators are like me, they've run out of moderation points.
I do agree with you though.
