Yet I'm running Slackware64, got an invite yesterday, and just followed some simple instructions from the forum on linuxquestions to get up and running with no problem.
Slackware users can support themselves.
ABV > 4.0+% sold in state-controlled stores only. State-controlled stores close on Sundays and cease operations no later than 10 p.m. the rest of the week. Restaurants must buy from the state-controlled store (no delivery) at retail prices. No alcohol may be served on Election Day until 8 p.m. No alcohol is served in restaurants without purchase of food. A ban on 4.0% or below beer available on tap was repealed in March 2009. Sales of kegs prohibited.
Companies are out to make money by selling a product, whether a service or a tangible item. These products cost the company money to produce and/or maintain. With customers increasing their demand for bandwidth, ISPs and cable providers have to increase their network to meet that demand, which costs a LOT of money. (Gigabit per second internet to about 100,000 homes would cost an estimated half a billion dollars). This money does not grow on trees. Governments cannot afford to make that investment, at least not now, and probably not ever.
Really??? Didn't the government just toss half a billion dollars to a failed solar startup and the tax payers are just supposed to take it? Half a billion is EASILY within the government's power.
I need a predictable, stable system, things should be where I am used to them, not hidden and removed in ways that defy any logic. The minimize/close/maximize window icons will be on the right side of my windows and there will be a normal tree like menu with items where I will find them every time I look there and there will be an icon for every window on the bottom of the screen, period.
Yeah, good thing RedHat is still supporting all their releases... Oh... wait... no they're not. RedHat 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 - all gone. RedHat Enterprise Linux 1, 2, 3 & 4 - all gone. Gee, maybe retiring old versions of software is just... universal?
No, but it is possible for some other company to take the source and provide updates or backport patches.
In the last beta, they put the same text you would get hovering over a link in a popup that appears in the same position as the old status bar. Aside from some addons that resided in the status bar (now called addon bar), I've been happy with the recent change. Trying to put that text in the location bar just didn't work, and they fixed it.
If you ran Fedora, you'd be alpha-testing features included in the OS when it is KNOWN they are not ready for prime time, but included anyway since Fedora is the alpha test environment for RHEL. Some of us are not willing to do this. I was a loyal RedHat user until RedHat went away, so I'm not saying this out of rpm allergy (although now that I've switched, I'm never going back.)
You know, just about any modern distro has this now. Ubuntu, Arch, hell, even Slackware supports DRI2 for ATI out of the box now.
I've run Blender maybe twice and I will never play WoW. But I use Compiz features not just every day, but every hour. Expose and Shrink Windows are tied to hot corners and I use one or the other almost every time I switch windows.
Yeah, I bet you do spin the cube for hours at a time. You so l33t.
"So I know this is gonna kill my karma, but..."
If only.
Given who the GP is, I'm sure he has plenty of karma to burn. I might just have to find his posts and give him some more for making DRI2 and 3D work on my AMD/ATI card in the first place.
People are going to look for better deals, and when some item can be found for 20 to 50% less online, often with free shipping, of course they are going to turn to the big internet sites.
Our judicial system needs a way of letting judges make "judgment calls" without letting other lawyers cite it as precedent in other 'not quite the same' related cases.
Slashdot Mirror
So will Curiously be in a position to take pictures?
GReader shutting down is what lead me to try out Tiny Tiny RSS.
If you are already running a webserver for something else, it is pretty easy to set up your own personal RSS reader.
In case you or someone else doesn't already know, one of the main contributors to Slackware has already done most of the hard work.

You can build it yourself or just download the package. Available for 14.0, 14.1 or current.
The interesting bit here is what votes were counted. If they nixed all SMS or online votes, then that leaves call-in votes and iTunes purchases.
Maybe the real conspiracy here is trying to force people to buy more from iTunes if they want their precious votes to count.

Utah is probably the worst in the US

And this is why I use Slackware.
Doesn't almost every game start with "gl hf"?
See. Everyone is having fun already (until they get 4-gated).

No, but it is possible for some other company to take the source and provide updates or backport patches.
Um...last time I checked there are around 73,357,145,315* companies in the world which will provide support for Micorosoft products.
Yeah, but how many of them could write a patch to fix some low level vulnerability in WinXP without the source code?

It's ridiculous to draw such conclusion, and no marketing researcher will simply assume this from two things you like.
Though you can have a lot of fun with the reaction from store clerks if you go and buy condoms and doggy treats. Try it! It really is hilarious.
What you should NOT try is the combination of vaseline, lollypops and condoms. People tend to be hysteric.

Be sure to read the alt-text.
But can it play fullscreen flash video smoothly yet?
Yes. Even on 64-bit.

And this is why I have my mail clients display emails in plain text only.
As for web based email, well they should probably add that setting sometime.

And my personal favorite
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='SCHEME'>(define (eval exp env) (cond ((self-evaluating? exp) exp) ((variable? exp) (lookup-variable-value exp env)) ((quoted? exp) (text-of-quotation exp)) ((assignment? exp) (eval-assignment exp env)) ((definition? exp) (eval-definition exp env)) ((if? exp) (eval-if exp env)) ((lambda? exp) (make-procedure (lambda-parameters exp) (lambda-body exp) env)) ((begin? exp) (eval-sequence (begin-actions exp) env)) ((cond? exp) (eval (cond->if exp) env)) ((application? exp) (apply (eval (operator exp) env) (list-of-values (operands exp) env))) (else (error "Common Lisp or Netscape Navigator 4.0+ Required" exp))))</SCRIPT>
HAL is in place and working quite well. PAM is still not part of Slackware (and probably never will be.)
Thanks for the easy to use info. Now I wonder how long it will take for the setting to take effect.
What popups?
This mostly popup free browsing experience brought to you by the makers of Firefox and NoScript.
People are going to look for better deals, and when some item can be found for 20 to 50% less online, often with free shipping, of course they are going to turn to the big internet sites.
This is spot on.
