Just installed Red Hat EL4 on a Dell PC just now. The installation seemed to work well with no problems. So far, runs better than WinBlows!
This slashdot article was the first news I found! LOL
My high school got around that issue. Several students published an underground newspaper that the school didn't have any control over. It was called the, "Lubricated Trojan." Of course, the school's mascot was the Trojans,...;-)
Even the name of that paper would never have gotten approved by the principal! But it was interesting reading nonetheless,...;-)
Comedy Central's Drawn Together is rather hilarious, as is the traditional Southpark. Although most networks tend to cancel the good shows that I like,... I'm still ticked off at Showtime for bring the curtain down on Dead Like Me; that show was just awesome! Let's just hope the network dumbarses don't to the same thing for Penn & Teller's Bullshit!
More realistically, I could see the new rules taking shape as such:
1. No cell phone calls during take-off and landing (the pico-cell aboard the aircraft simply won't be activated until the captain determines that it's ok and presses that button).
2. Flights under one-hour would be classified as, "cell phone free," flights. Sorry, but if you're sorry ass can't stay off the phone for an hour, then maybe we need to call a surgeon to surgically remove your embedded phone from your skull?!
Maybe on some of the larger planes and transcontinental flights, they would have cell phone versus non cell phone sections, but I don't see this on the majority of flights. I think the main strategy that a lot of airlines are trying to follow now is to use smaller jets on shorter flights between "hub" cities. That keeps the costs down, the flight time down (so you're not crammed into the seat as long), and they don't have to buy you any food except for that cheap pack of peanuts and maybe a soft drink ("in flight" meals are actually migrating to being "between flight" meals at the over-priced fast food restaurants in the airports).
My HP notebook (ZD7000) has a 17" widescreen that makes it a tad too large to use on planes, although I did use it on a non-crowded flight from Jackson, MS, to Williamsburg, VA, once. Although flying during the thanksgiving holiday from Louisville, KY, to Phoenix, AZ, was virtually impossible (didn't even have room to even try it). But even if I did have room on that flight, which lasted about 3 hours, I would've sucked up my entire battery life (which only lasts about 2 - 2.5 hours on the ZD7000 - desktop replacement, not Pentium M or Centrino). If they're going to offer wireless internet access on planes, they better start including AC adapters in the seats (amtrak offers this on their trains).
Ok, so the scenario is this. Companies pay google to have simple ads linked to various google searches, and they pay google based on the number of clicks that people make on those ads.
So if a company like Micro$oft buys google ads, then if a whole boatload of people search google for microsoft, google gets a huge check from Bill G.:-)
If the/. effect has such an effect on small websites, we surely can have an effect on google. =)
George Lucas has announced that, as soon as Star Wars Episode III is released, he plans to commence production of a new science fiction satire starring a large, humanoid duck.
Wrap the printer in tinfoil when printing out your pages. For best results, the operator should wear a tinfoil hat in case the printer also has mind-reading properties.
Terrorists could use this game to simulate -- er, practice -- the assassination of George W. Bush.
Although Bush's assassination probably wouldn't be such a bad thing from the democrat's perspective,...
The American Chemical Society actually did this with all of their publications about 3-4 years ago. Starting with the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) in 1879 through the present day. They currently have something like 20-30 journals online, fully accessible, since the beginning.
They do charge for access, since the journal itself is available by subscription only. However, the subscriptions are generally done by academic site license, so more than likely, if you're on a college campus, you have access to this.
Google can probably aim to get a 10th of the revenue off of a POP3 user compared to a web mail user.
That's probably exactly the whole reason they're doing this. If they can get all the geeks to configure their gmail accounts for POP3 access, and free up their servers from all that email, then they can target the service to the masses a lot easier, the majority of which are not going to want to bother with the "configuration" of setting up POP3 email. Your average mom and pop, teenie boppers, and the like, are going to want to just login and check their mail in the easiest possible way, which is web access. But their "geek friends" are going to love google because of what they're offering them. It's simply a matter of, "make the geeks happy and the rest will follow."
Seriously, whose life is 1) so exciting that video clips are required for full appreciation and 2) not too exciting to have enough time to record the whole thing on video?
Well, for one, Jay Leno keeps talking about how his entire life is video-taped for legal purposes,... hehehe;-)
Seriously, I agree. It is a huge waste of bandwidth. If people want to keep video diaries, fine, go for it. Keep it on your own computer and buy your own huge hard disk for it. I can also understand if a few people want to post a few short video clips in their text-based blog as well. But a 100% video-based blog? Get real.
I heard Bill Gates was considering offering a prize of 1 billion dollars for anyone who can launch the heads of state of every nation on earth into the orbit of Pluto . . . permanently.
Of course, Baseball is the definitive method for predicting the outcome of political elections.
Of course, if you want more information on sports-related curses and how much of an effect they have on things, just ask the 2004 World Champion Boston Red Sox!! (so much for the curse of the Bambino! curse? what curse?:-)
In support of the election, please do the following:
If you support President George W. Bush in the election, please drive with your headlights ON during the day.
If you support John Kerry, please drive with your headlights OFF at night.

You have the U.S.S. Enterprise-E, the Super Star Destroyer Executor, and the Battlestar Galactica, all coming together in the same area of space.
Who will win?

You had to go to that "other internet" that Bush referred to,... Not all Americans have access to all of the internets.
