if somebody completely wrote and gpl'd a tivo like service, they could have an autoupdate feature - that way the outages would be short.
maybe also use multiple websites to get the TV listings - that way if one goes down, there are backups. redundancy is your friend (unless your job is going to india)
ah - i ticked the box, wrote the post, copied the text, and went back and had a look at the grandpairent, came back, pasted - must have forgot the second time round
no, karma doesn't mean anything in the world at large, but i dont want it to go down unnecicarily (i know i cant spell, my hand writings worse!)
whats your point? 3 months isn't great. My record on this computer is 2 days (compiled kde, didn't write the script too well), but thats because i usually turn it off when i go to bed)
many people i know are scared of automatic upgrades, incase they phone home - i know of people who wont install any service packs (and just run firewalls) because they dont trust microsoft.
But their crappy web interface is definately crappy - it would have been much better as an executable, downloading lists of upgrades and new software (or features) - like slapt-gui does.
i forget what i was thinking when i posted that, but maybe i meant that most stuff on windows doesn't get automatically upgraded, so you will still be sitting not-so-pretty, with your arsehole wide open, if using third party tools, whilst in linux, you can update just about everything in two commands.
i do believe linux can lock up - my slackware box has been going crazy recently - must have locked up at least twice in the last 6 months (both in a week, must be my fault).
my point it, most linux distro's are much more stable on default install than default windows installations - especially 9x.
ive never had problems with floppys with bad sectors - it just says the disk is the wrong FS or something like that.
you must have been unlucky with that distro/custom config/something

its like 80% all the other posts on slashdot (they all come from windows zombies??) - they're all repeating of jokes, which weren't funny to begin with.
i use slackware, but i compile most stuff myself (kde3.2.2 the other day actually, didn't take too long.....)
ive never tried gentoo one day, these posts haven't deteered me, im just lazy.
And for the record, my obsession with config files is completely healthy.
except for the fact that linux has less holes, and better upgrade tools (apt, yum, slapt, swaret, emerge, emerde, etc).
if linux were more popular, i could see a distobution with an option in the installer saying "How often would you like to check for security upgrades? bug fixes?", and then set this in a cron job.
with microsofts crappy web interface, you cant use a cron job to upgrade. i dont see any tool like apt, yum, slapt, swaret, emerge, emerde, etc, that could do this.
infact, i think your either karma-whoring (by being contraversial and then saying "mod me down if you like, but im right") or your trolling.

give slapt-get a try, i prefer it to swaret
search for it on freshmeat

somebody should patent all the slasdot jokes, and sue anybody who uses them - theyre all shit.
i suppose cmdr taco could do it, and make a nice profit, then get rid of the ms ads on linux articles
if its done by a cron job, thats batch. real time would be like you said
IBM will own all of SCO's IP at the end of the trial anyway - if SCO even go that far.

what was wrong with the code then?
i thought php was server side - shouldn't this be a javascript library or something?
whats the point in openGL on the server side? it can animate the data as it parses it?
at least the apps were designed with teletype in mind - try viewing windows NT in 640x480.
i keep a copy of opera stored on my home folder - there's not enough room in opera on 800x600.

you do know that the makers of tennis died long before IP were two letters that you could put together, in capitals, in a non-capitalised sentence?
so as to not affect karma, im posting AC.
