Yes...
I'm predicting that *BSD will outgrow Linux.
People don't take it seriously though: my previous post on this http://bsd.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=158574&cid =13284770 was modded "flamebait", but let's wait and see *BSD kick some penguin butt!
But we're also excited about some of the other potential applications for this technology that could be used right here in Florida
Like: shooting underaged terrorists who throw baseballs at cars
or: arresting people with the wrong skin colour or beard
or: automatically spraying teargas if too many people gather together
And isn't it great: these things don't need health insurance or a medical plan, and they don't feel bad about violating the rights of poor Florida residents...
I for one resent our potential police droids
This is radio Jerevan. Ask us what you want, we will answer what we want.
We have been asked: What is the Soviet union's attitude towards wildlife preservation
Answer: We take it very seriously. Take the Chernobyl natural reserve for example - the west has nothing like it!
Once upon a time there was a time of freedom and innovation, when all sorts of new things were invented.
Then came along industry executives and businessmen and turned tech into money and patents.
Constraints have increased and increased to this day, and you really can't do anything innovative anymore without breaking the law. I'm sure someone is going to make a law soon that will make it illegal to use technology that hasn't been approved first - making a final end of any innovation.
People have become scared of our police states (read: USA and EU) to the extent that nobody wants to be made an example of by doing something suspicious.
At the same time we are sliding into sexual delirium, rebellion against parents, deceit and all kind of abominations, which can only lead to a NEW DARK AGES!
I said DARK AGES all over again. It's not the decline in potential scientific discoveries, but the deterioration of our society that we are facing here. Wake up!
There is a danger of not seeing the forest for the trees. I mean getting all worked up about some chip is really not the point. Your quote from Luther can mean that we shouldn't be looking for the concrete artifacts of end-time, but it does not mean the bible doesn't predict end-times throughout its pages.
"Christ is neither taught nor known in it" also doesn't mean this. Jesus did talk about the end-times himself, referring to the book of Daniel. He spoke of wars, and other catastrophies which are also signs of the end.
Lets not shut our eyes from the end-times just because we don't buy this thing about RFIDs and stuff - there is much more to it.
I use GIMP a lot for producing.eps files for my LaTeX articles and I've often wondered why I can't even draw a line in GIMP. I know its an image manipulation program and therefore it doesn't have to be a drawing program, but I'd really like to find simple things like this in it...
I'm a bit cynical about this kind of "generosity".
When a whole lot of people don't even have food, what have computers got to do with anything?
Makes me feel someone just wants even the poorest people to be under the "legal" surveilance of the NSA... what better way to do this than giving away tools for electronic communication...
Well said
It is entirely a matter of faith to believe that birds evolved from lizards during the suggested millions of years of life on Earth.
To prove these things would mean explaining why a lizard with feathers is favourable (it couldn't have started to fly for a few hundred or thousand years from the first feather mutation) and chocen by "natural selection". Another good question would be: why is the Earth not completely flat after millions of years of erosion?
Nobody seems to care about these problems related to the evolution theory... they are mostly sweeped under the carpet.
And like catholics in the middle ages, so evolution theoricians stand in the way of critical study and hold us back from exploring the truth about these things.
You should ask yourself why certain people are so scared of alternative theories (creationism, ID)? Maybe because it opposes their religion (atheism)
Our western civilization is starting to be of age... status quo is starting to mean more than the truth. Rub your eyes, wake up and be objective.
Or maybe we should all be placed in nice warm containers and have our brains plugged into a perfect, blissfull world without accidents or trauma.
Instead of working IRL, our bodies would produce heat and miniscule amounts of electricity to run our robotic overlords... hey, I think I saw this happen somewhere... but can't remember where. Maybe someone's been giving me pills already(?)
Sig? I only have a hazy recollection of those things.
I fear the markets for these toy computers will be very marginal.
The good old technics Legos were so much catchier in that you could easily create mechanical thinggies like cars, tractors, robots, gearboxes:-o etc. without having to pay $249.
What I mean is, this is a pretty expensive price for a few sensors and servos that will get thrown in some toydrawer anyways.
Logging might actually feed the police with false information: I mean it's not a hard to make replicas of plates belonging to someone else... someone with the same kind of car.
That way the terrorists or whatever can actually use the system against the police
So now I'm asking, why put this system up in the first place... only to scare people into quiet submission? Seems that way to me...
Somehow this logo feels reminiscent of BeOS. Dunno why...
I would like to see *BSD without the horned guy in any form. After all, it is Windoze that serves the little horned men - not nice little *BSDs.
Something classy and awe-inspiring please. Something like the SGI cube for instance - now that's real classy!
All this: IMHO
Add to the list of dumb stuff Europe does...
There's GALILEO, the European Satellite Navigation System that should provide a GPS-like service.
Then there's the plan to have a european army, the "military reaction force".
Then there is the increasing anti-Americanism (for the sake of it) in a lot of political issues (esp. middle-east).
Then there is the anti-Nato trend
Then there is the shuttle program (EADS Phoenix).
And now they want control over the Internet? Or maybe an internet of their own?
...
Has the EU reached puberty?
Somehow all this technology replicating and saber-rattling reminds me of another fallen empire that also had a shuttle program "like what the Americans had"...
pretty pathetic IMHO
I'm really looking forward to a.doc-free world and seeing Microsoft dwindle into a pitifull group of die-hards, rewriting Windoze Vista, over and over again...
I've known for a long time that BSD is going to start becoming more and more popular. We're seeing people switch from Linux to Free/Open BSD because
1) BSD has an air of stability/professionality
2) switching is easy
3) Linux has become too mainstream (not geeky anymore)
Unfortunately, just as Linux is a bloated OS, KDE is a bloated, slow, disgusting GUI. Can't they have each explorer window part of a single program (would increase startup times!).
DesktopBSD is going to be a slow desktop, unlike Mac (or even WindoZe)
Oh no...
If you want privacy then, you need to use an ISP abroad:-o
I can just imagine the speed of a modem connection to Elbonia...
When are they going to start recording every second of every phone call?
The problem in America: moral decay after the sexual revolution. You just don't have the kind of honorable, patient and wise families and children that would make good mathematicians.
All we have are partying adulterers who can't focus on anything else but perhaps money at most.
Besides, if someone tries to live in a way that develops artistic and scientific readyness, they are considered mentally disturbed and are quickly muffled out of existence.

We also need a law that forbids truckers from spending too much time away from their wives.
...And give truckers free Kellog's corn flakes.
And let's keep those hands where we can see them.
