But the print server in this case is an HP JetDirect. While the ones I've messed with are configurable through telnet, they probably don't run on an architecture that's easy to compile for. Then again, it could have an Motorola 68K in it or something.
I was thinking more along the lines of their minivan driving over a banana peel, spinning off a cliff, while the whole family chants, "McBride rules! McBride rules! McBride rules!"
Of course, I believe the main critisism of said actions by the FCC is that they're good ideas, just poor execution. The Do-Not-Call list has workarounds for compainies that have "business partners", and the spam bounties only really work if spamming was actually easily defined as illegal in the first place.
I should probably stay away from the boob incident. It didn't bother me one bit.
Here is the #1 result on Google when searching for the changes. I actually read it a few days ago. Way more changes are in there than I ever remembered when I saw it in 1997.
I was actually making a statement in response to the parent quote about Star Wars fans thinking outside the box. It was just a general example I was giving. The only additional changes to the DVD from the 1997 theatrical releases have already been mentioned before.
If enhancements were to be made to USB, information on the specs would have to be provided as well, and hopefully not just to those who fork up the dough for it. In this case, saying it would hurt Linux would be saying that the development for an enhanced USB interface would take a really long time. I doubt it would be true if support was important enough. Was supporting USB 1.1 and 2.0 in Linux really a pain at all when it came out?
Some scenes in the new Star Wars movies make me wonder if Lucas is really thinking outside the box. One scene that comes to mind is where Obi Wan goes to visit an old friend who runs a diner that looks waaay too much like a typical American roadside diner. Surely there could have been a more far reaching idea than that. It is supposed to be on another galaxy.
Well, until then, there's always the Laserdisc rip that's on Suprnova.org and probably elsewhere. I've heard the original 4:3 letterboxed version has pretty good quality. The one on SN seems to be the lower quality anamorphic one though.
Keep in mind when doing this that the people who submit entries to Wikipedia are most likely computer savvy people, and these people tend to lean more to the left in politics. That, and it seems there's a record amount of Libertarians online, including Slashdot sometimes.
I thought the idea was the same as other subcategories. Articles that fit in a subcategory that are determined to be important make it to the front page anyway. The ones that aren't get listed on the sidebar as part of "x more" in the sections sidebar.
This looks like a good way to see if past presidents have fulfilled their election promises by looking at their agenda in commercials. One thing that sticks out in my mind is the "Rats" commercial in 2000, which was about Bush's prescription drug benefit plan. How did that work out, seeing how some have resorted to getting pharmaceuticals from Canada and elsewhere?
Let's see...one PVR is made by Microsoft and the other runs Linux. With that in mind, let's all relax and let each and every Slashdot user make up his/her own mind about which one they think is better. *ducks*
What the article neglects to mention is that this is a variation on the original design, which was an apparatus that allowed you to control the mouse cursor with your penis.
The design was later reconsidered, citing possible issues with users over 60...?
My experience has been that you really need to be an enthusiast of this distro to bother installing the Community version of it. For some reason, I ended up with the Comminity version of 10.0 when downloading it via BitTorrent, and boy did it need some work. KDE crashing every ten seconds, weird bugs like the SDL segfault when the wacom tablet module (evdev) was loaded, etc.
Point being, don't try this out as a stable release. Only try it if you have time to kill and really want to see what Mandrake has done with their release this far. Otherwise, wait for the Official ISOs when they become availible to the public.
A JIT shouldn't be necessary for something that's already been compiled to run natively on a particular processor. JIT compiling deals more with emulation.
For some reason, Fortran is still used for many scientific programs, and this software probably fits in this category. Don't ask me why they chose it, though; I'm not a developer.
It's still pretty bad that a lot of weather stations changed from calling it a forecast and refer to it as a "Futurecast". I really doubt futurecast is a valid meteorological term.
Yeah, someone at work asked me, "So, are you going for Bush, or Bush Lite?"
I mentioned something similar in the thread here. Apparently somebody doesn't like me talking about this because most of my responses in this thread are marked as overrated and flamebait in part.

At least you don't contradict yourself. Not that you would know because you have sigs turned off.

btw, does he have any children to carry on his evil legacy? wouldn't want it to be a family tradition. :/
Well, seeing that this guy is from Utah.....crap. It's going to be one biiiiiig family tradition.
Never underestimate rule #3 of spam.

Wow, since this is a response to a first post, I guess I could say this about ZebraPass while staying on-topic:
"THEY FAIL IT!!!!11"

Admiral Ackbar: "It's not really a trap!"
That one would be sure to piss off some fark.com photoshoppers.
Ted Kennedy 1934-1967. He will surely be missed. Truely an American icon.

Barely anything is unbiased anyway.

Wow, some people really get addicted to this stuff, don't they?
