"make it an option", none of which actually address the problem.
Frankly, i think the option between the current interface and a Photoshop-like / MDI interface would be Good. Although it would cost more time to maintain both interfaces. Eventually one might drop though, after some 'polls', feedback.
I know just in my house (also a 6 Mb connection), if I'm downloading something through Bit Torrent, it really slows down any internet stuff on the other computers, and if another computer here downloads a file or checks email, it makes games on mine stutter.
Its probably because all your upload bandwidth is used to upload many, big packets for BitTorrent. This means data which is send to a server for e.g. SSH/Email/HTTP, and TCP ACK packets, have the same priority in the upload queue as those many, big packets hence they takes a while.
To fix this, you can give Wondershaper (CBQ / Linux) or AltQ (*BSD) and prioritize those smaller upload packets. The caveat is that you have a slightly lower than max upload speed. Latency will however decrease. Try it, experiment with the settings; its worth it!
I've been searching for a 'MP3 player format' SIDchip which is able to play SIDs to live out. Anyone know if such a thing exists? Optionally or besides this, it would be nice if other modules are also supported such as XM / S3M / IT however a bunch of SIDs on a flash ROM together with a SIDchip is both smaller, more of a unique hack, and better quality as well;).
Long-haul truckers and Air Force pilots have long popped amphetamines to ward off drowsiness. Generations of college students have swallowed over-the-counter caffeine tablets to get through all-nighters. But such stimulants provide only a temporary edge, and their effect is broad and blunt -- they boost the brain by juicing the entire nervous system.
Its the law... how long till it gets demonized by FUD and becomes illegal, like MDMA, LSD and cannabis?
I tested it, and besides the somewhat spartanic interface the quality of the voices (uses Festival?) leaves much to be desired. To start, it only supports a few languages; no German, no French, no Dutch. I especially need Dutch, English and German. It sounds absolutely robotic, even less good than Windows XP integrated voice. In contrast, check out the NeoSpeech samples. Especially the female voice at 16 khz sounds very clean. From what i've heard, the quality of the other voices is also just as good. These voices are of a much better quality than the solutions i tried on Linux (Festival) and only need a P2/400 while still allowing speed and pitch effect. Not sure if this is somehow usable on *NIX though.
With Freenet, do I have a choice to not distrubute that content? If not, then Freenet will never become a mainstream file-sharing service.
You're assuming 1) Users know the way Freenet works in this regard 2) Agree with your reasoning. These are not by definition true though. Its not proven this is the reason Freenet is not popular either.

Sounds plaussible. Use some kind of configuration for this (including some utility which hacks the config file). I was thinking of:
* X depends on Y by definition. * X may depend on Y depending on configuration. * X does not depend on Y by definition.
In the first case, we have to wait. In the second case, we might have to wait which is checked out by the config file. If in doubt, take the secure path (wait). If it doesn't matter much, take the secure path (wait). In the third case, just go ahead, especially if it saves a lot of time.
Not sure, but i think the most hard aspect of this is the whole framework that daemons depend on daemons and that it might very well depend on the situation whereas the 'config file checker', which might check wether there have to be NFS mounts, fails because its not 'smart' enough or because of modifications by the user or because of some non-popular service.
I guess its not a very important issue to some, but in some cases it is important. There was also this project which rebooted the Linux kernel while skipping the BIOS, and 'open BIOS' projects which are very fast (FreeBIOS and OpenBIOS IIRC) which also speed up the boot process.
KDE, GNOME run on proprietary Unices such as Solaris and IRIX. Probably just as well on Tru64 and HPUX. It works. Now say there's a few modifications needed to get it compiled and running. Would the GNOME or KDE folks allow such patches or would they say "i don't want users to run the DE on that platform." Btw, KDE and GNOME already run on Windows, both via Cygwin (see sf.net) as well as solutions such as CoLinux.
Heh. I've been observing this person for a while and this guy keeps on copy/pasting very quotes from him which were already posted earlier on Slashdot and commented on. Reproducing your discussed and/or debunked quotes could be regarded as a fallacy itself because [in this case] readers don't see the points made in the earlier post. So we start over again...
I tried discussing with this person as well, trying to bring in some reasoning, but he seems so stubborn on several of his assumptions, ignoring my points made, its just not worth the time (strange how he gets modded up every time though).
Perhaps redundant links here and there, but this is a good overal start. I excluded Thunderbird and Mozilla because those are heavily known already. Also, some of the above clients might run on other Unices, other OSes -- including MacOSX and Windows.
Mistake #983401: Minimize the threat for your shareholders.
We sure could argue all the day why Mandrake, Linspire and Xandros don't matter to Sun, but why doesn't he include Novell Linux (aka SUSE Linux)? SUSE is the 2nd most popular Linux distribution.
I was wondering... There's this rumor NSA have their own Alpha fab. If thats true, wouldn't they have to pay quite a lot for the IP and wouldn't it be in their advantage when the Alpha is futher not used anymore? HP still would earn from the IP while doing nothing for it. Futhermore, if NSA supports in-house with e.g. SELinux then why would they care for Tru64 or OpenVMS? OTOH, if they licensed Tru64 or OpenVMS perhaps they're allowed to keep their source for their own while HP reaps the benefit from it via IP licensing schemes. Again, they don't have to do anything by themselves.
Hmm normally i'd just stop arguing but i think i'm able to make a point to make you at least not think so fundementally in wrong versus right.
Look, when Stallman was in the proprietary UNIX age, he could also have said: 'copyright is the wrong way, i am against copyright' hence using public domain or a very liberal license (e.g. BSD, though then he'd still copyright his software). He did not do that, he did not strictly apply his principle. Instead he thought of a practical solution to get around copyright while not being too liberal for those who don't 'want to play nice' (the GPL). I'm not sure if Stallman actually said or thought that, but i'm very sure it was either Stallman or Moglen who wrote being actually against copyright in an essay.
Moral of the story? Sometimes the practical solution just ain't the holy grail (the theory) but it might help you to get (near) the holy grail. Its not clear wether this example actually raises Linux adoption so its in 'our' advantage (of our goal, which i assume we share). Therefore i don't say either is, but you appear to be overly confident about it.
1) Where does one buy such? 2) How does one know how its farmed? 3) There are other quality aspects to meat. For example, health aspects or when the animal did not have the room to live the meat is 'harsh'. Butchers also regulary put water in the meat so its heavier so they can sell it for more. 4) If you're against the above, one sane thing to do is to boycot these actions by not acting like a garbage collector.
Hence, to me, the step between not eating meat at all and chosing for vegetables instead is as easy, comfortable as researching the state of meat. YMMV.

Look at it another way; who do your users trust more, verislime or you?
Or an alternative for Verislime which the GP is searching for in the first place?

At least on SGI, and i think on Linux/AMD64, binaries and the kernel can run in 32-bit mode. In some cases, thats might actually be desired.

One fact is remarkable: its merely tested on mice and monkeys while 'the biological reaction of a given animal species to a given substance does not allow meaningful and reliable prediction of the biological reaction of humans. Extrapolation to man of the experimental behaviour of another species is hazardous and thus devoid of any scientific value.' (3rd link)
