    Yup, sounds about as exciting.

    This is intuitive how, exactly?

    I can't think of the last thing that wasn't in Debian that I wanted to install. Sorry, try again.

    You haven't tried to get Java running on Ubuntu, have you?

    Interesting. Perhaps someday OS X will catch up with Synaptic (based on apt) package manager for Linux, where all you have to do is click a checkbox for the program you want, and click "Apply".

    And maybe someday Synaptic's database will be up-to-date and complete.

    This is something very new. I flew to California in December and that regulation was not in force then.

    This has the effect of increasing camaraderie among smokers in the smoking areas past the security checkpoint. Nobody has a light!

  10. Re:Does this mean - on Apple to Use Intel Chips? · · Score: 1

    Maybe a dual-processor system: one PowerPC and one Intel? Not likely, I grant you.

    That's been done with a 68K mac. Look up the Nutek Duet.

    There is a language called OOSQL, but looking at it makes me squirm.

    Well, that answers the age-old question: what do end-users need 4 GHz processors for?

    Indeed, just like intelligent design is referred to as "science".

  14. Re:Installed fine here... on Mac OS X 10.4.1 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Yes, mine had this problem, but only when the system was plugged into the wall. Open up Energy Saver and try setting processor speed to automatic instead of highest.

  15. Re:Considering mac mini's take less power than cpu on Green buildings, Green Server Farms? · · Score: 1

    There's tons of literature on the subject, and probably ready-made systems, too. If you want to do something super-hardcore, build it into a computer power supply without using an inverter.

  16. Re:Child pornography on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 1

    The alternative does not require changing Freenet. The alternative is to say in the FAQ when asked about child porn and terrorist plans something like this:
    "We cannot allow filtering Freenet nodes without compromising anonymity, which is our number one priority. Sorry, but if you don't like it, don't run a Freenet node."
    instead of "Oh, I thought you supported free speech. If you are not actively distributing content you find completely disgusting, the production or use of which may (have) result(ed) in death, destruction, rape, and who knows what else, you're a hypocritical censor."

  17. Re:Child pornography on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 1

    And that is the correct response to the question the Freenet FAQ pretends to answer.

  18. Re:Child pornography on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Refusal to redistribute isn't censorship. If I don't distribute content I find objectionable, that does not stop others from doing the same.

    Of course, there's next to no way of knowing what is passing through your system, but the reply from the Freenet admins is arrogant and misguided.

  19. Re:Child pornography on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    See, the wonderful thing about such loaded language is that even if you tolerate the existence such content, by using Freenet you are being FORCED to distribute it. Isn't that lovely? And if you complain, the powers-that-be make YOU the bad guy!

  20. Re:Monolithic on Get To Know Mach, the Kernel of Mac OS X · · Score: 5, Informative

    Monolithic translates to no modules, correct?

    I can't believe people are modding you up for this.

    The Linux kernel is monolithic. Linux modules do not run in user-mode. They are loaded into the kernel proper.

    mkLinux was an Apple-sponsored effort to run Linux on Mach. The Linux kernel was modified to run in user-mode; it basically became an executable. In fact, you could run multiple instances of the same kernel (or different kernels) simultaneously.
