The things you need manpages for shouldn't be used by grandma's anyway. Most, if not all the stuff they use would be easy to find in the grapical kde help centre or gnome help.
But what would happen to poor old encryption? would it be possible to have keys long enough to prevent brute force and short enough to encrypt quickly?
they do, but have you installed a printer in windows in the last few years? you need quantum computing to keep all that crap in the system tray running. Without this, hp would die for sure
if they made a PPC/x86 hybrid chip and board, they'd beable to syphon off the market - if they convinced via that via want to make chipsets for them, they'd have a large market base to draw from.
I used to use linux packages, but most of the packages i downloaded didn't include depencancy information. Also i didn't know about linux mafia (just tried it and apparently its under construction??) and linux packages didn't have all the software i wanted (usually had to compile the deps anyway)
If you like to tinker, i suggest installing gentoo on a spare partition or something and having a play with that. irc.freenode.net#gentoo is very helpful, and the docs are great.
Ive never tried debian, but apparently apt-get is pretty good too.

Im a damn uppity foreigner from the UK, where the people aren't stupid enough to vote for somebody like bush, thank god.
Damn uppity foreigner.
it just means people will have to download everything they want, without adverts over p2p.
as this law only applies to america, its fine.
I wasn't saying books should be patentable, i was saying software shouldn't be patentable.
And yes, i know patents and copyrights are mutually exlusive, unfortunately nobody with any political power does.
Thats a good point - how come software patents are fine but patents on books are not?
There's no patent on creating a book about $genre
sorry - i completely misread your comment. ignore me.

i have a barrel-like physique (im on a diet) and im growing my beard back, but i cant code in anything but VB5 yet.
Two out of three aint bad?

Compression too

my spam was significantly reduced, i mean like 5 emails a week with no false positives compared to 40 a day i used to get.
Nothing to do with the legislation though - i started using spamassassin
how else are they going to stick their elbows out of the windows?
i would normally agree, but this article is necessary because it corrects a previous article (and quite a big correction too)

Or print it on a bubble jet, in lime on yellow. That'll teach the bastards.
Freaks!
/. has to publish it too)

come on, you dont come to slashdot to find anything worth reading any more do you?
violence with those three boring?
wtf?
I'd go sit with them and join in.
im guessing here but:
if you think of mac you think of apples
if you think of linux you think of penguins
if you think of windows you think of bugs
not true actually, when i think of windows i get frustrated at how caged in i feel when im forced to use it
and it hurt
You talk about release code names, but what about debian potato? thats supposed to be a distro you'd put on your expensive servers
works perfectly on gentoo, with a gig of ram, a athlon-xp2000+ and a 128mb 5200FX graphics card
Thats not the same. If i fixed somebody's computer by removing a virus (not a worm) and they got another, id charge again.
If however I didn't remove the original virus properly i would fix it again for free.

Ive never used any of the BSD's, what does gentoo's portage lack from netBSD's pkgsrc?
(just out of interest, im _not_ implying that portage is perfect)
