No, you can choose Gnome, KDE3, KDE4, Minimal, and Command-Line. You can also manually select/deselect packages that will be installed. Hell, you can even add other media/repositories for use at that point. (think of actually using aptitude when installing debian/ubuntu, and having the debian-multimedia repo available at initial install)
Do you post testing data and bugs? If you don't - well, thats the only way for them to really find out what doesn't work. That's all handled at http://appdb.winehq.org/
I've done some stuff before, and the issues actually got the attention they needed.
All user's torrent servers should present an NDA and disclaimer to the effect:
yes or no.
This won't work. Stop and think how many connections/second bittorrent maintains.... having people confirm each individual connection would be ridiculous. Verbiage along the lines of "If you do not agree to this contract, disconnect immediately. Continuing this connection signifies agreement to the above terms and conditions, whether manually processed or automatically handled."
You would need a lawyer to bullet-proof that for you though, and likely you would still end up spending money to fight the lawsuit that would come along anyways. Assuming this is even legal to begin with (which I doubt)
Wow, because anything that is done/developed/discovered by someone who turns out to be a felon should be purged from society - nevermind the actual merits of the work.
Well, if they did use an exchanger there wouldn't be any water going into the chip... the chip would have a closed system filled with some crazy concoction instead... like some reactors use liquid sodium for instance (for for different reasons). Once outside of manufacturing and testing, it would likely be considered as a waterblock (or even a traditional heatsink/cooling system, if it was efficient enough). The big deal about in-die cooling is that you can make the die bigger without cooking the innards - without this new type of design you are limited to extracting heat directly out to the surface where the heatsink is.
Sorry, but I'm a tad bit excited by this - as I'm sure you can tell.
Practically, it will be some work, but its not much of a conceptual jump to see something water-like being used. We don't use straight water (well, we shouldn't) in automotive radiators or other industrial cooling systems, so I'm sure someone will come up with some kind of cooling compound (or implement an existing one) for this purpose, perhaps even using a heat-exchanger system to waterblock where actual water is used.
IE, sort of like a nuclear reactor does it. The CPU is cooled with chemical X, which is pumped out of the CPU into an exchanger where heat is transferred from it into a traditional water cooling system - this way the damage caused by water is nowhere nearly as expensive to repair, and the cost of using fancy chemicals to avoid the in-cpu corrosion is minimized...
Of course, more pumps means more points of failure, but as long as the system intelligently handles (ie, shut the hell off) failures the damage is minimized.
See, the issue is that "piracy" is always frowned upon, even when it has a legitimate purpose (such as your stated reverse-engineering.) It would be nice if we could look at intent rather than potential risk.
It's not the unsavvy that is the worry, you need to worry about the ones who know what they are doing. The laws and courts are very good at catching the idiots...
Worm takes windows product key, CPU serial number, etc, generates a GUID - and a key is generated. This key is communicated to the author, who has a utility to generate a decrypter. This key generation could also happen at the author as well, and only the above GUID is sent.
Of course, a little public key encryption makes all this private to the blackmailer.
I really like ID Software. It seems almost all of their recent work is cross platform, and when something gets old, they do what they need to to release the code (doom had to be modified prior to release, something about sound).
I wish more publishers would realize this. Some do, and provide Mac ports, but that's not enough. If you can port for Mac OSX, you can damn well port it to linux.
Well, in my experience vga is just too slow, even for mundane stuff. Also, I like to mess with graphics and such - and even just updating the screen in a timely manner is nice (vga is ssllooww!!))
It should - the operation CVSup performs is a core function of version control, but wraps some CVS details up.
Likely, all you will need to do with subversion is this:
> cd/usr/ports
> svn update... come back later to an updated portage tree. CVS would probably be that simple, but for it's need for you to 'log in' and some strange (to me) syntax. CVSup eliminates that weirdness.
Of course, I'm sure that CVSup does a lot of extra stuff I don't know about - I haven't looked at it much and have only used FreeBSD in passing (damn nvidia drivers don't work in freebsd 64-bit - some kernel "bugs")
It happens. This new comment system works good and horrible at the same time.
1. What you just experienced. 2. Firefox leaves comment border streaks down the whole page sometimes 3. IE 7 is (was?) unusable. 4. Konqueror works mostly, but if you click "continue editing" the interface helpfully erases everything you entered before.
I can't seem to find a way to turn this Web2.0-ish shit off.
I need to come up with a greasemonkey script that automatically hides any posts containing "apple" or "mac". I'm sick of having to bother reading this tripe. I don't care what Apple comes up with, I'm not purchasing any of their products. Their philosophies of product design/use directly oppose mine, and hence all of their products are going to fit me like a pair of pants with an extra/missing leg.

Just make sure it inexplicably breaks.

They can't blame you 100% for it, after all it wasn't a clean machine.

Easynews is excellent. I currently had over 200gb saved (i lost it when my card numbers changed and I failed to update things on their end. Doh!.

Whoopsies, did I just come up with that?

Does portsnap grab whole copies of the tree, or does it only update individual files like I think CVSup does?
Whoops... well, ports and portage arn't really that different in form or function. Plus, portage is a cooler name :P
Well, in my experience vga is just too slow, even for mundane stuff. Also, I like to mess with graphics and such - and even just updating the screen in a timely manner is nice (vga is ssllooww!!))

Wrong thread?
I think those are used for fuel fires? I don't think that foam would help a sodium fire.
Class D fires are not fun.
A 10-foot sphere filled with sodium? Damn... talk about playing with fire.
"She's gone from suck to blow!" ... but on that note, I've been a happy DD-WRT user for quite some time (WRT54GL)
