What's this going to cause as far as applications, is it going to require every single app that talks to ethernet to have special functions for Fedora?
I've used arbitrary interface names for years and have yet to encounter an ethernet-related application that doesn't work with it.
Fortunately this is not a problem in some countries, e.g. Germany, where Microsoft cannot enforce any restrictions on OEM software. It can be resold just like "retail" software.
Up to 16 computers could be networked in a "MIDI Ring" by connecting one computer's MIDI-OUT port to the next computer's MIDI-IN port. Unless the computers were looped correctly, more than 4 players tended to slow down the game to a crawl and make it unstable.
Pretty much. The largest german consumer ISP recently announced its plan to enable an IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack on all DSL connections by the end of 2011. Source in German. Several server hosters already implemented IPv6 during the last few months.
It's really overdue. All mobile ISPs that I've seen so far only offer NAT'ed Internet access. Horrible.
Serial ATA 3.0 and SAS achieve 5-6 Gb/s. This system delivers 4 GB/s. It's really sad how these sloppy summaries make it to the front page.
Quote from TFA: "So you're getting the 4GB/sec. of PCIe bandwidth, not the 5Gbit/sec. or 6Gbit/sec. SAS bandwidth. You're getting almost an order of magnitude of bandwidth to the storage internally just because you're using an interface that's capable of it," Pollack said.
Pinball Fantasies is the best software pinball game that I've ever played. Stones'n'Bones kept me busy for weeks in all its 320x400 pixel glory, scrolling with silky smoothness on a 386 CPU, and awesome tracker music that never got old.
Why would you have to pay any fees for distributing GPL licensed software? All you have to do is provide the source code of your derivation. If you haven't modified the software, even an acknowledging link to http://www.busybox.net/ is more than enough.

Thank you and all the others who replied. I wasn't particularly anti-Chrome* before this thread but now I'm actually curious, with Xmarks & WebDev-like functionality being available. I shall try Chrome or Chromium later today!:)

It's not a browser plug-in but otherwise, Privoxy is your friend. Quoting from their home page: "Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks." Enjoy.
I haven't actually tried Comment Snob addon in some time and it seems that it hasn't been updated to work with the latest changes on YouTube. Maybe someone with a little free time has the passion to fix it.
YouTube Comment Snob filters out undesirable comments from YouTube comment threads. You can choose to have any of the following rules mark a comment for removal:
* More than # spelling mistakes: The number of mistakes is customizable, and the extension uses Firefox's built-in spell checker. * All capital letters * No capital letters * Doesn't start with a capital letter * Excessive punctuation (!!!! ????) * Excessive capitalization * Profanity
As I said... it's an anonymous access point. Of course you need to use proper encryption whenever you're using unsecure links, such as an open access point.
You could use one of the old wireless routers to provide free & anonymous Internet access to others by routing all the traffic through TOR.
1. Disable any encryption & access restriction like MAC filters 2. Plug it into a separate ethernet port of a server / machine that's running 24/7 3. Route all the traffic through TOR 4. Throttle its traffic (QOS)
When your neighbor's Internet breaks down some day, they will be thankful for the free, albeit slow, Access Point of yours. Thanks to TOR, you don't have to fear any consequences for any mischief that's conducted over your AP.

It is well known that gamers generally possess extraordinary self-discipline when it comes to boycotts.

Try re-selling your OEM license of Windows!

and that is how the Internet should be, true peer-to-peer communication, more decentralized than it is now.

Some brazilian guy is currently building a full size replica of the "Party Land" table. It looks pretty good already!

It worked for 2D Boy's World of Goo.

Thanks for the note! Having Xmarks available is a nice perspective. It looks like I will try Chrome or Chromium sooner than I expected.
A few reasons for Firefox:
- NoScript: mostly to block potentially malicious active elements like Flash and Java. Better safe than sorry, especially with Adobe products.
- CookieSafe: Fine grained control over cookies.
- RefControl: Blocks referrers for selected sites. I don't need to stuff tracking information down everyone's throat, especially not YouTube (embedded videos).
