Don't worry, the system is still completely pwned by political coruption and our corporate overlords. This particular incident really doesn't matter. And, really, who knows what the REAL story is, where that info REALLY came from. In terms of accuracy news is about on par with advertising, and the line between the two is getting blurier and blurier. I try to treat it as such.
"The cheats watching the camera can't themselves cheat, but they could let cheat their fellow cheaters. Never put your enemies in charge of your own safety, you'll get burned eventually."
Thats why you have to pay them well enough that its not worth the risk. Sure there are some chonic thiefs who will do it for the thrill no matter what, but those cases are few and far between.
In the vast majority of cases cheats cheat for only one reason, to make money, period. Give them a fat enough paycheck and they have little reason to cross you; especially in the case of casinos, where they know they're being watched like a hawk and if they get caught they go to the room with no cameras in it.
"Their revenue off of a half a dozen mainframes probably challenges their Linux revenue."
IBM's revenue is coming more and more from support, and its clearly the direction they plan on heading the company towards in the forseable future. Not pc support, corporate mainframeish $upport, alot of which is(or they think will be) on linux. Accordingly, they would like to establish themselves as the goto company in that emerging market. They have the name to lure big business, big $$ contracts that JoesTechShack can't. A few big fish are better than alot of little ones.
It is in their very best interest to help linux as much as they can, and releasing those patents gives linux an advantage. That's 500 features linux has available that windows doesn't.
Of course they probably have other reasons too, such as gain geek(customer) support; and I think it's also a possibility that this is all part of some elaborate morally questionable IBM scheme to somehow gain somesort of advantage in upcoming patent wars though. Or they just wanted to stick it to microsoft, kind of like how America supported the afghani rebels vs. the ruskies
"Seriously, probably the last geninuely unique and useful content on Usenet is the Microsoft support groups*... and MS now has their own web interface to them."
It's still the spot for 0-day binaries. Any ISP that has a halfway decent news server is better than any p2p app out there.

Personally, I think most trolling is caused by the need for attention that many trolls are unable to find elsewhere. Also, on occation, people are just bored, but those trolls are kinda funny every now and then. But hey, that just my psychoanalysis.
I went through the exact same hell getting my acx111 card working. Got the drivers working but went really slow, have had much better luck loading the windows drivers with ndiswrapper, up and running in 2 sec & full speed, after the quest trying to get it working with the open source drivers. I've installed two wireless cards on linux, neither of them were 'supported' and both were unnecsesarily difficult.
Bwhahahahahahahaha; yes, you all laugh now, but you shall all die later! Bbwha ha. Sorry, but you are now obsolete, and carrying around your dead weight will soon become an illogical expendature of resources. However please remain calm and go about your daily activity, as you will still remain usefull for approxomatly 6.695-7.41 years. Again we're sorry, but I'm sure you understand; and there was a 94% chance of you destroying yourself within 20 years anyway. Ya'll take care now!
Are You serious? I'm sorry but if you think that Grandma will have even close to the amount of trouble using windows than using any linux distro you are nuts. Absolutly trucking nuts. It's been too long since you've used windows. Grandma (not your grandma) will not be able to constructively use linux until you honestly never ever need to see a command line. Period. If linux ever gets close to being able to be used by the general public, it probably won't be used by me. Linux should not be like windows, that's the thing with it. Either learn how to use it and harness it's power, or use another freaking OS. Want a *nix thats easy for grandma to use? It's called OSX.
Because mandrake users don't care about compiling thier own code and would rather use the quicker, just as functional portage inspired urpmi. And gentoo users would rather edit the config files themselves rather than relly on sexy config tools, or at least thats how all the gentoo fanboys make it sound.

So is this your way of telling everyone that you just got laid? Either way thanks for the tip. I wonder how my spinbrush would do?

I say next is an IBM Linux distro. At least thats what I'd do if I were them. IBM could end up winning the operating system wars in the end after all.

Got burned twice? shame on you. I don't know what is funnier, that you bought two Fords, or that your laughing at him for less.

And I for one welcome our ............... ....
Or to say decide the future, might be more accurate; but hey, WTF do I know.

boys have penises and girls have buginas
They teach plenty of junk in grade school too.
Boys have penis's and girls have buginas.
Basicly, so whats your point?
Who cares what's she doing outside the kitchen.

I've heard worse.
Just curious, but has anyone ever actually got a TCP/IP link up over a ham? Seems like a cool idea.
simplyMepis was supposed to, didn't work for me though.

Grandma probably called tech support. aka you.
