After all those years of canalizing internet geekdom and posting-efforts of nerds all around the world, don't you find it somewhat shocking that there's no "pr0n"-Section on/.?!
Believe it or not, but I moved into the apartment from where I'm writing right now last year, and winter's been quite harsh 10 months ago or so here in Austria. I used to heat my ~35m^2 flat with ym Pentium-4-Northwood@3.5GHz-powered PC, and have not figured out how to operate the flat's heating yet... what will turn into an annoying problem soon, cause I swapped the Intel-beast for a low-power AMD box, which is dissipating a whole lot less heat; I'm actually already freezing a little right now:-)
Poor Steve, doing such echausting things like jumping around and screaming like a monkey all the time.:-(
If he used a UNIX-like system, however, he could at least do parts of his job (or hobby?) with much greater ease - `killall eclipse`, for instance. Granted, that's not the foundation itself, but better for a start than nothing at all!
Well, China's national market for digital entertainment is "pretty big" already, and subjected to grow significantly the next years. China can afford not to care about certain issues outside its legislative power, like the US-american patent system, for instance (or human rights, as we're being shown again and again). They'll just stay "local" with their format, and everything's still just fine for them with about 1 billion potential customers at hand.
Have you ever played FreeCiv? If yes, how did you like it? Do you believe in Free Software, and, more specifically, have you considered releasing (older) game engine sourcecode under the terms of the GPL, or "vintage" game content under a Creative Commons-like license?
...and virtually a million ways to cloak sensitive data from You Personal Government's eyes. It's sad those who could have saved their liberty by using those, often did not do so, obviously:(
Or What? That's what the article is raving so much about - the whole mess is getting more modular. Yeah, great. MSFT itself was stating that Windows was thought to be the most consistent platform in desktop computing, I wonder how they're going to stick to that principle.
Oh, and I'd like to cite one of my favourite quotes, because I consider it perfectly fitting: "Those who fail to understand UNIX are doomed to reimplement it, poorly."
With the Athlon 64, the chipset itself gives a crap about how many DIMM-Slots are used (or not), since the memory controller is on-DIE for AMD's latest generation of chips. However, older revisions of the AMD Athlon 64 (before the cores named Venice, San Diego, Manchester etc., those supporting SSE3 and being manufactured in 0.09) did not OFFICIALLY support 4 populated DIMM-banks at PC3200 speeds, but just 2700. You could had have been lucky back then, and it might just had have worked, but with Venice and Co., those problems are gone. It's still highly unlikely to get the memory working at 1T Read/Write-Turnaround rates, though.
...over Evolution, Mozilla Mail/Thunderbird, Sylpheed, mutt, or anything else? Just because it's written in Java, and I need a full-blown VM around it that comes with a redistribution-hostile license? Or is there anything super-special (and equally well-disguised) about it?
It's still better than Outlook Express, that's for sure.:-)
If I recall correctly, there was a spwan of the pterosauri constantly appearing in the books I read all the time in my early childhood with an estimated wingspan of about 15 to 18 meters, as well.

A few weeks ago, I read an interesting article about Schlund&Partner, one of the largest internet-related companies in Germany these days, developing an eMail-solution of their own, because they weren't able to find anything suiting their demands. They're the guys behind GMX, the arguably most popular eMail service in Central Europe. Their eMailing system, Nemesis, is designed to provide scalability and redundancy all the way, maybe you can get them to relicense it to your company (I don't know which license the project actually is under, sorry), or at least let you evalute their solution so you can deceide what you can actually expect from nowadays eMail-gadgets for the enterprise.
It really is about time now. Why not just create a free (as in beer) pr0n-service while holding up "Don't be evil" moral standars, and watch the competition be washed away?
...you most possibly not gonna win does not justify not fighting for the good cause. I don't want DRM to be established, and I don't want an "open DRM"-whatever to be establsihed. I'm find with CDDA, keep your crappy pay-per-download-services et al, unless they provide FLAC or OGG Vorbis files that do not neglect my constituional right to copy and distribute to my dearest frinds (aka "Fair Use").
I won't give in and welcome our new DRM-overlords, and I hope YOU won't do so, neither.
I'm not gonna read it, because the layout of the page it's on causes pain to my eyes. My screen resolution is not 800x600, so why should I stick with this ultratiny iframe-ish piece of crap?
If there's enough screen-real-estate to use, use it, ffs!
Not that unreproducible behaviour of certain MS products is strikingly unfamiliar to me, though I still wonder what has happened there, and if this is going to be fixed (as well as the whole rest of the CSS-mess in IE) in the final version...

Yep!
They call that "Marketing", from what I've heard...
Nestle's CEO states that "Africa does not need bread and water, but Butterfinger and Nescafe".

I guess that's why you don't download, install and run precompiled binaries from unstrusted sources. Or do you?

The article was published on the german-speaking Linux-Magazin, Issue "August 2005".
Good luck!

Yes, there is. Konqueror, a part of the K Desktop Environment for X11.
I consider it rather strange that the renderings of the acid2 test pages IE7 produced in this guy's review differ somewhat from the results a colleague of mine got during his test with IE7 on Longhorn Beta 1.
