I resently had a friend of mine switch from Gentoo to tiger. He had converted me to gentoo, he was a linux guru.
Then he got a mac mini.
He showed me how nice the system was. As long as IE is gone for good, that system is basicly invincible.
For giving computers to idiots, that is the system i always recomend. I always set up a seperate admin account. for them. Then i tell them to always read the licences before installing software.
They never have to reinstall. They run a smoth clean powerful OS till their HD goes. The only time they ever bug me is when they cant seem to install hardware or software.
This amazing system is worth every penny, and i recommend it to every windows user out there.
M$ will get as many OSS dudes in the room, lock them up, then stick "linux" (DOS with bash as shell; eg: linux command completion.) into windows, and call it open source. the source is as follows:
/*
Microsoft's OSS GNU licence:
Microsoft has full control of the source code and users of this aplication. We will take over your computer. This software will kill you if not compiled and run on windows XP or greater. you can distrobute this software freely, if you send us $100 per copy sold. Aint that great? blah blah blah....
goes on for so long, nobody ever gets to the point that they realize there is no source code.
Then kde, kernel, gnome, and Xorgs development teams will be captured and used as hostages till all users switch to XP SP2 or longhorn...
DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how long before we can completely seperate the cores through linux, boot off only one, and run a different kernel (bsd, unix, or linux) at the same time.
There have been discussions of this, but this sounds like the most ideal time to do it. Hyperthreading was a big joke, but if this system can acualy seperate the threads, this would be amazing... and a step closer to windows + linux running at the same time!
I wonder what amd has in store for intel, why would they wait to release their monster?
me and a friend wee just discussing what an apple phone would look like / do earlier this week...
Either it would have apples white appearance, or its sleak brushed metal. I would expect sweet features like at least 128MB of ram in it, accessable by bluetooth. and a camera...
have u heard of mirrordot.org
automaticly copys the hole slashdoted page...
so if slashdot could have its links posted to mirrordot.org, then the world would be a better place....
I refuse to click on the link, because it is MSNBC
slashdot has gone down a point for having a link to msnbc on their home page...
I refuse to touch even the mirrordot mirror of it with a 10 foot pole...
Why dont you use apples X server, use fink to apt-get kde, use quartzwm instead of kde, then you end up with a system that can run both linux and mac apps proplerly, kde with real-time transparency, etc.....
Ive seen more powerfull noname laptops!!! cost ~$1100 CAN,you get 3.2Ghz, 512Mb, 60Gb harddrive...
Whats the point of something bit and heavy, with no screen, cant power itself, and has a slow cpu!
Laptop > Suitcase PC.
(both would burn your lap if they were slashdoted though;) )
I agree, but I've learnt to hate him....
Since 2002, when i got this computer, ive re-installed windows 7-8 times. Then i went to gentoo, mounted my (broken) windows partition on/mnt/crap, and did sudo rm -rf/mnt/crap/*...
The only reasons i can see Windows is still around is because mac needs more expencive hardware, lack of games for linux, and most ppl 2 n00bish to partition their drives and install linux, so they use windows couse its already there...
(acualy, i know 2 M$ lovers who converted to linux overnight with mepis)
Mac minis are darn small, and sooner than later someone will come along and compile a kernel for mac os X, patched for openmosix.
Imagine: a cluster of 7 mac minis taking up the space of one normal pc.
Thats what id use a mac mini for. Fill my closet with those macs, add a couple of hubs and some power bars....
if thats so, then whats this:

the official specs for N are completely different...
this is just renamed 802.11g 108. They stuck in more antennas, and called it new.
i was on his site! U can change the cams zoom, and zan it around. Plus the garage door, and cars and pedestrians.
He problably admited it was a hoax to get teh./ers away from his site!!
me: $45 canadian mp3 cdplayer.
~33c -> 700Mb
~66c -> 1.4Gb
~$1 canadian -> 2.1GB
~$5 -> 10.5Gb
----------
$50 canadian for over 10Gb of music.
$55 = 21Gb of music.
if only the thing played dvds....

There is a liquid metal availble!!!
Metalic glass
Either:
its small particles of metal + water / oil mixed
or:
they havent made it. Their current plan is something along the lines of:
1 - Need better quiter cooling
2 - Make some random imposible idea
3 - ???
4 - Get money.
I have a friend i set up with kpilot and jpilot to sync his tungten E in mepis:
/dev/ttyUSB0
all i had to do is set the port to the USB port, and it did the rest:
serial port =
^ worked great!
Good luck!

1 First, drill a hole through the cover of the drive. Make sure you have access to the platers.
:-)
2 Then, wiggle the drill around so its on an angle (bout 45 degrees)
3 slowly start the drill again with the bit on the plater...
4 Repeat steps 1 - 3 in different locations
5 Drill right through it - about 20 times
6 Get a new drill and continue
7 fill the sucker with sharp objects and start it up (cover ears)
8 Fill with some kind of corosive acid, seal and trash
Shhh...
Im not acualy posting this...
I dont even exist here...
Posting this here couse they wouldnt expect it...
my company is planing to releasÀÐÈìqË+fÈìqËÅõ

apple phone, aka: iphone
me and a friend wee just discussing what an apple phone would look like / do earlier this week...
Either it would have apples white appearance, or its sleak brushed metal. I would expect sweet features like at least 128MB of ram in it, accessable by bluetooth. and a camera...
what would you expect from an iphone?
If they can make a ppc and x86 dual live booting cd id use it...
or if they had firefox ppc and x86 linux and windows together, with syncing to ur pc...
Drool...
but does it run ie? ;)

depends on which company makes the cards.... if a company has always used prism chips, therews a good chance they will continue.
