I note a PSU email address - where'd ya live at? My buddies and I have a place on South Pugh, Nicholas Tower, have cable modem running into a RH 6.2 gateway server. 2 CS majors and 2 mechanical eng. majors - awwyeah, geek fun!!
So Miguel is basically stating that the answer to promoting innovation on the *nix platform is high-level, reusable components? I'm still vague on how this is going to revolutionize our beloved platform and spur innovation?
A friend I recently bought two of these badboys - after much waiting, we got them in the mail. His turned out to work great - the review is correct in that the headphones and the buttons suck, but the sound rules. 11 hours of music on a cd is great. It has a cool directory mode thing where you can burn you mp3s in certain directories and play only from that directory, so you can make a nice mix of dad's jazz, grandpa's polka, and mom's heavy metal on one cd and not worry about listening to each others "crap". My unit, unforutantely, had a laser error or something, but MPTrip has a great return policy and I'm anxiously awaiting a non-defective unit (had to pay my shipping charges only). My friend's is sweet though.
For the most part, I agree with your statement - however, at my job, we run several linux boxes sans CRT. Unfortunately, we also run win 9x boxes on our desktops for using excel mainly. Having a nice, easy remote GUI would come in handy.
A band I was in a few years ago posted a couple of mp3's and wavs and we actually got a few random orders for our cd and got some small gigs for it.
Lars seems convinced that if you are in a band, you automattically are doing it for a living. I'd be willing to bet that the great majority of bands are just "normal" working people or teenagers in high school just messing around in their basements or garages jamming away.
Good call...I would consider myself to be an avid heavy metal music fan. Metallica is a joke as far as I am, and all my metal-listening friends are concerned. As far as the scene is concerned, Metallica is worse for music than the Backstreet Boys and Brittany Spears. At least those two "musicians" don't pretend to be these badass rebels standing up for what is right for all these underground bands. If I hear of a cool underground or "small" metal band, I'll check out an mp3 of theirs via Napster. If I dig it, I'll go buy it without hesitating. This whole Metallica-Napster situation just further increases my disdain for these talentless corporate losers.
All these excellent Linux conferences! Any suggestions as to which would be appropriate (some technical aspect, some reasonable price, etc) for a small to medium sized local student ACM chapter in the Northeast US?

LOL i'd start watching x-files on a weekly basis again just to hear that line.
excellent!!! it's an 85 IROC-Z w/a 305 - unfortunately it's automatic right now, but I'm sure it could romp a stinkin' SUV
I'd like to see your gas-guzzling SUV pass my gas whore Camaro.
I knew he was more than just a stiff drummer and anti-napster activist.
it's probably lars, being the computer whiz he is.

I wish my University would ban the network-clogging Napster as well...my rail in quake 3 is hurtin' cuz of my 300 ping!
