Definitely. I require a good search program/function to locate random crap on Linux; its hard to keep track of the various library files in lib32 lib64/usr/lib32 and/usr/lib64.
I'm sure KDE and Gnome have their own search thingy, but I'm fine using "locate filename". Its really really fast, but you have to put in the exact filename or you'll get a thousands of files that bear any resemblance to it. Only thing that sucks is that once in awhile you have to do a "locate -u", but I really don't need anything more; it serves its purpose well.
Of course, locate is on about any Unix, so OS X has that too, although I'm sure Spotlight is a much better utility for searching (OS X's search bar in Finder always worked very nicely for me).
Because I would frequent a feature allowing me to search "Music/Concert shows", I have to say that is an excellent idea. But why do you say that might be a feature next, or anytime soon at all?
I feel that if Google did such a thing, they would have to charge (promoter fees, etc), or they would simply show you to the concert places' websites. Either way, someone has to pay to advertise...and given Google's fame, that would be quite a profitable avenue for them to pursue.
Tried it out on both Safari and Camino (i'm pretty sure Camino uses Gecko, correct?) and Camino won by a mile. And by a mile I mean a few seconds, but Safari was noticeably slower.
A bunch of skinny computer nerds sitting in a dusty basement hacking out code all night has a higher hero factor than a bunch of suits working at a high paying tech job and doing it as a hobby on the side.
Yes, however the corporate programmers you are speaking of are probably just a bunch of skinny computer nerds wearing suits sitting in dusty cubicles.

Not really a big surprise that this is happening, it would make sense for Red Hat to do this as it becomes more popular. Just because Windows does this doesn't mean its bad; it is all about your preference. I don't care if Windows happens to do the same.
Personally, I use GDM to make it easier for my girlfriend to log onto my computer and use X (plus man, its always nice to turn on your computer and see a sweet looking picture of a Portugal Beach warming your screen).
No sex drive? Is that a bad thing? I anxiously await the day when I can rest peacefully without feeling that one urge which makes us do sooooo many stupid things, like put up with someone's shit until you get what you want.
Looking at the blog's comments, I saw someone mention the Acid2 test. I did a google and took it, and my Firefox 1.0.2 failed it.
Anyone know more details about this test and what browsers do pass it (I'm guessing IE6 doesn't, I don't have it so can't test it)? I'm surprised Firefox didn't, not because I'm a fan boy or anything, but because I presumed Firefox was in accordance with most of the standards.
This is the test and this is what it should look like. Here's some info about how it works.
Was 10.0. Since then I have switched to Gentoo. Slackware has died more times than the number of fingers on my hands. Gentoo has been the most stable Linux I have ever witnessed, and it has surprised the living hell out of me (it gets so much bad press).
What do you guys think will be the method for authenticating users who have payed to use this? The article states that you can enter "one password" to get on the Internet anywhere within the city, however it appears that method is more of a thing for business people or other folks who are visiting for a short time; the password would probably expire in a few days.
Do you guys think that a simple password will be what residents have to provide to be authenticated, or do you think it'll be something more along the lines of if your MAC address is found in their ACL? Otherwise it seems likely that one person would buy an account and just share the password with everyone he/she knew.
They should just put the antenna on top of the Watchtower (as opposed to All Around the Watchtower). It is the highest point in Minneapolis, and yes, it is the one Bob Dylan was talking about.

You sure? I am a student and they are asking me for $99 to join the Student Developer program.
Going into space is extremely expensive, and although the $ cost is not as much as how much the armed forces spends, it still is a lot of money.
NASA is timid in losing those few lives because we are talking about astronauts here. There are not very many people who have the physical prowess, intelligence, and overall ability to handle extreme situations in space in this world as they do. I'm not saying their lives are worth more than soldiers, or that anyone can become a soldier, but it's vastly more likely someone can be a soldier than an astronaut.
Also, you cannot compare the space program to the military. You are suppose to defend, kill, or be killed in war. You are supposed to study and research things in the space. Every time a mission blows up, NASA will recieve less and less funding, thus it is in their best interest to have as successful a mission as possible.
Sacrificing your life in war is honorable and deserves recognition because of your service to your country; Sacrificing your life in space because of some stupid engineering/manufacturing mistake is a waste.
I'm tempted to mod up parent AC as funny because it is hilarious that he/she was actually modded as troll, but...well that would destroy the whole point.
I think the difficulty in getting a girlfriend is a bit exaggerated; I don't shower every day, I'm a slob, and I got the sexiest asian princess in the land as my girl. You guys just aren't trying hard enough.
"Whether Einstein was right when he first introduced the cosmological constant, or whether he was right when he later refuted the idea will soon be tested by a new round of precision cosmological observations," Kolb said.
So either way, Einstein was right. Damn you Einstein!!!

They just switched to IIS 6.0 yesterday, actually.

I remember quite clearly Slackware 5 being my first ever Linux OS on my computer.
Exactly, and even though the editors should be catching dupes, it should be submitter's responsibility to not submit an article that is a dupe.
