I find that google news is a good way to get a picture of many different news sources all at once, although it doesn't really help the fact that, like you said, many of those sources are skewed in the first place.
I don't see how installing an application can screw up your system like that, unless you installed it as root, which you should NEVER do with beta or preview releases.
I'm not talking about neon lights and glow-in-the-dark paint and that kind of stuff that is just a waste of money, just making the case yours instead of a mass-produced box.
Everyone seems to be suggesting to go with a Mac. Well, if I were you, I would take a half-way decent case and mod it. Chop off the back if it is too long, put some plexiglass on the side, stencil on the side, whatever floats your boat. Much more unique than the standard Mac, and you'll have fun making it too.
Quite a bit more than I would think can be powered by embedded solar cells. It is hard enough for a regular solar cell to power anything with somewhat demanding electricity usage. Besides the fact that solar energy is not exactly the 100% uptime 24h solution.
I would just like to say that this is completely retarded. Why do they need the freaking money anyway, they don't do anything usefull. Domains, and their registration and creation should be in the hands of Internet users anyway.
This can only be good for businesses who like the security of certified products, of which there are not many on GNU/Linux. Perhaps this will speed the adoption of Linux into cubicles.
To reply to everyone who replied to me, I was not implying that I believed that he did invent the Internet, just saying that it does appear that he says that, and how it could be construed to sound like he did.

He may not have meant for it to come out like he invented the Internet, but it sure sounds like it:
Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process?
GORE: Well, I will be offering -- I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
Well, I wasn't really thinking of putting linux on the RAM, I was thinking of putting it on one of those flash carts they have for the gba and will probably have for the DS, and using the DS's RAM as, well, RAM. I still think it would be cool to have a DS and go around wardriving on it with linux.
I say its about time to get a real development branch going. I'm sick of 2.6 being less that optimally stable, its time for 2.7 to take the untested patches.
This is not a joke. I am wondering if anyone might know of the possibilities of porting uClinux to this. The possibilities would be nearly limitless, what with the wifi capability and dual-screens.
But I am also a realist, and there are intellectual property laws in the world right now, and even though I may not agree with some of them, that doesn't mean that I will break the law just because I do not agree. There are other ways to fight what you do not like, such as supporting a party that believes in what you believe in. I do not believe that the government has the power to collect income taxes, but I pay them because it is the law. That doesn't mean that I am not working to reverse those laws which I do not agree with.
The difference is that the supermarkets either make a cereal that is SIMILIAR but not quite exactly the same or have an agreement to repackage name-brand food as their own brand. What these counterfeters are doing is completely wrong, as they are taking complete rips without liscense and selling them for a profit, and making them look like an offical Nintendo product.
Thats gotta be some scary shit if you're a soldier in Iraq, imagine a robot with a shotgun walking up to you yelling "DIE EVIL INSURGENT", mistaking you for an enemy. Thats not even an honorable death, dying from a robot?
For one, the JVM is stack-based, which makes it hard to implement in hardware, while Parrot is stack-based like CPUs. This also has performance advantages for various reasons.

Big deal. I'm still waiting for fiber to the home. I could care less about television.
Sorry, but that only works with windows.

Ah, how nice of slashdot to host the cover AND the first page.

Too bad, you're already pretty much a goner...
Good luck to you. It is people like you who embody the other half of open source - the end users.

I belive the point is that you can use the Internet to do meaningful stuff fairly easily, but it is harder to do meaningful things watching a T.V.

I was meant it as the robot attacking the American soldiers. But no, blowing yourself is not an honorable death either.
Actually, I believe Gore would have let France make all of our decisions for us.
