Article on Driver's License's... I know that I once found a tool that was open source that did the same thing, you'll have to do some more digging on Google.
I've found that if you Ctrl+= it and then Ctrl+- it. (E.g, View|Text Size|Increase, View|Text Size|Decrease). BTW, the rendering only seems messed up for me in the Linux version. The windows version works fine...strange.
Thanks for the heads up on the double. I will take it down when you're done being slashdotted... BTW, If you would like a "real" host, I can offer you some web+FTP space if you'd like. Email me at taj&wildgardenseed.com (of coure, & becomes @).

Indeed, absolutely true...the same thing is happening with the USPS and UPS, and I'll assume that after UPS drives the USPS out of business, they'll do the same thing with FedEx, and mabe DHL.
That's why privatisation is so great, right?/me ducks
Well, we are. I can prove that. Did anybody see the article in National Geographic about global warming? After seeing those charts, I don't know how anyone, anyone, could deny that global warming is happening. Anyone care to tell how people can stand up there and deny up?
Imagin the irony of reading this on a cell phone. (Hmm, it appears that spelling is one of those mutations).
All I have to say is well, duh. Of course, we're constantly bombed with xrays from outer space too, though.
Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software. In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows (see Screenshots).
Wikipedia is great for this:)
Just look up your location and it'll tell you everything you want to know about the lat and long. For example: Corvallis, OR: Corvallis is located at 4434'15" North, 12316'34" West (44.570780, -123.275998)
Fast and easy to use:)
HTH, Taj
That's not the kind of forking I'm talking about. The kind of forking I'm talking about is when half the development team leaves because of something that the current maintainer did or said. For example, XEmacs, vi/vim, etc etc. That kind of forking isn't necessarly good.
Whoa... Are you suggesting a Linux civil war by forking the kernel for specific needs?
Well, so far the kernel hasn't been forked. The BSD kernel has been forked a bunch of times, and look at it. It's got a set of developers here, a set there, another set over there. Now, think what BSD would be like if you had all those people working together? Not only is OpenBSD a "distro" of BSD, it's got it's whole own kernel. Is that a bonus? Personally, I don't think so.
But then again, what are the special needs of the kernel for the desktop? Like I said before, I think the kernel has everything it needs (except maybe for fully hotpluggable PCMCIA cards) to go to the desktop. It's the user interface software that's the problem.
First off, if Linus picks a GUI, he's going to piss off half the users of Linux, who will in turn, fork Linux. I'm not sure what you mean "starts up a desktop linux fork". What's wrong the the kernel going to the desktop? The kernel is *not* the problem, the problem is the desktop (KDE/Gnome/Whatever), and hardware detection (see this for an idea), and whatever else is keeping Linux from the desktop (lack of programs?). Whatever it is, it's not the kernel (if you ask me...).
In computing, firmware is software that is embedded in a hardware device, that allows reading and executing the software, but does not allow modification, e.g., writing or deleting data by an end user.
Wikipedia
When people develop new hardware, it's usually a lot cheaper to control the hardware from Software, instead of developing that expensive chip that goes inside the hardware. For example, Afga scanners use firmware to control their scanners. Note: Firmware is not the same as drivers. Firmware is loaded into the device, drivers control the device from the computer.
Firmware is like a replacement for a chip...

Does Amazon have a patent on any of this? After all, they do have the "one-click" patent...
Damn activist judges.

Good Riddance to it!

I love the big black smoke that coal-fired power plants poop out into the air in the northeast :).
And what about the hammers? Will they be elbowed out?

How does the hardware detection work under Open/NetBSD? Can it be ported to Linux eaisly? Can it eaisly talk to the user via GUI?
