Mini-box make some neato little ITX boxes which you could hook up to any number of storage solutions. Past that, I've had good success with Mini-ITX boards. I get the cases from Web-tronics, as the MITX ones are very, very expensive -- they're meant to make your MITX look like a CD player, pretty much, and I can do more without having to worry about cosmetics. MiniBox (above) sells snap-in MITX power supplies ranging from 60w to 200w. For the extra cool factor, use a Xenarc display or use something 'headless', e.g., LCDProc and Crystalfontz. (As I remember, the MiniBoxes come with their own little displays.)
It's not all bad that they're advertising Linux as Red Hat. A lot of my non-tech friends have no idea what Linux is, but they do know what Red Hat is- they heard that name over and over when Red Hat made a strong IPO.
If those same guys even knew that Red Hat was an alternative operating system, that would be a huge step forward. Heck, even if one of them tries it out, they'd learn soon enough what Linux really was. Until then, let's take all the advertisement we can get. Just get Linux, Red Hat, whatever out there as well-known terms.
As much as everyone likes to dis the US shuttle as being expensive, it's the most affordable reusable VTHL SSTO vehicle in the world.
The "reusable" bit is rather questionable. Given that the shuttle orbiter needs what amounts to a complete strip down and rebuild after every flight. Originally NASA claimed that each orbiter would require only a two week service between missions. There is also the "bottleneck" of having only one facility for various parts of the pre-launch assembly, thus having more than one orbiter dosn't help much with time to get things ready.
I went to high school with Don, and I can say that not only is he an outstanding programmer, but he's an outstanding friend as well. He's the most caring, trustworthy guy you'd ever want to meet.
I konw the RPG fanatics think video games are an art form just like movies, but the reality is that most video game stories are as deep as the average action flick.
Yes, most video games don't have great stories. Neither do most movies. That doesn't mean that both mediums aren't capable of achieving great heights of story-telling.
This article is all the more reason to support independent labels that actually care about their artists. There are labels that actually care about getting quality music out there, because the survival of their business depends on it. They care about building a loyal fan base, signing quality groups, and giving them the resources to develop into the group's vision, not the label's.
All I can say is, great! I'm glad to see the FreeBSD guys providing support for 4.x, while 5.x is their main focus. Unlike some software companies, they believe in supporting all releases of their software that's being used.
iTunes relies heavily on OS X libraries. The user interface, QuickTime playback, CD burning,... the list goes on and on.
If Apple would just release QuickTime for Linux, then we could really get the ball rolling. The GNUStep program is getting better by the day, so hopefully Apple could use that for the windowing.
Here's to the collaboration of GNU coders and Apple!
I think the great thing is that it's just a matter of time before this is a reality. All of these tools are available:
swarming a la BitTorrent - open source, check
anonymity a la Freenet - open source, check
browser support, Mozilla - open source, check
server-side support (setting correct content type for bittorrent links), Apache - open source, check
It's all at our fingertips- now we just need to put it all together in an elegant way (do I smell a new sourceforge project!), and we will be in P2P heaven.

Tycho and Gabe respond to our questions? Looks like just Tycho.

Isn't calling this 'spyware' a misnomer?
Spyware gathers information on/about your computer, and sends it to the mothership.
This is gathering information on your computer, and letting other users on the machine find it. Not good, but not spyware either.
Thanks for the sensationalist headline, michael.

No, no, no. It's only GNU/Linux when those thieving Linux bastards don't give credit to the GNU folks, by calling the OS just 'Linux'.
RMS has no problem with you just calling it GNU.

Or you could just go with CowboyNeal's method of disassembly. http://cowboyneal.org/ex-powerbook.jpg
