So you're saying new dreamcasts are incompatale with the Sega Dreamcast web browser that comes with them, which is on a normal CD-ROM??? I don't think so there chumpie...
This is one of the funniest posts I've ever read. you must have rocks in your skull. Companies PRODUCE wealth? Out of what? Thin air? Do you even know what wealth is? It sure as hell isn't money. Wealth is relative, and inherently meaningless. It is an arbitrary value we as humans have set on things which we percieve to be desirable.
Companies don't produce wealth, or ideas, or innovations. They produce profit. That is their sole purpose of existance. Anytihng else that comes out of them is a side-benefit. But what if a society was not concerned with wealth? What if people were free to do as they pleased, not having to worry about collecting a paycheck. Where people who enjoyed fostering new ideas could do so, and people who enjoyed working with their hands could do so, to help bring these ideas into being. How much faster would innovation progress if everyone did what they did only because they found it enjoyable?
THIS is the communist ideal. It is not the twisted, sick idea as perpertrated by the Chinese and Soviet governments. The problem with the communist ideal is that it would require such a massive global shit in thinking, it is not workable. Communism is not workable on a contry only basis. Thats why these bastardisations exist. The creators MEANT well, but didn't alise their efforts were futile.
COmmunism itself is a utopian, and worthy goal. It's just not do-able. So, next time you want to go bashing "hippie communes", think about what you're saying, instead of looking like an idiot.
At least it asks you. I've had more than one occasion when rpm -e <packagename> has left me with a diferent program being unable to run, and RPM never even warned me, or asked me what shared libraries it could delete.
Ok, we all hate windows, but spreading FUD is useless, and makes you look as bad as they do. Every windows app I have _EVER_ uninstalled (and there has been alot!) _ALWAYS_ says something along the lines of "This is a shared DLL. The registry indicates no other programs are using it. I will delete it now unless you say otherwise". This sounds pretty much like it knows whats being used and what isn't. Unless you get your registry corrupted, which wouldn't be any different from having your package database (RPM or dpkg) corrupted.
All I do is turn on the proxy server for apache, and use that (see the manpage for details). Squid would work just as well, only reason I don't use that is I already have httpd. running. Then all you do is forward some local port (I use 8000, you could use anything) to the remote proxy port (80 for apache, 3128 for squid, etc). Then change your browser's proxy to 127.0.0.1:<port you chose>, and you're done.
I'd recomend using an SSH client that supports compression as well (I use Terraterm/SSH in windows) and turn the compression to around 5. That will speed up the latency of the connection between your house and your office.
...one company that refuses to change its operations is, surprisingly, Red Hat.
How is this surprising? RedHat has always been one of the most staunch endorsers of Open Source/Free Software. Did anyone else watch the videos of the O'Reily OSS convention? The RedHat guy was amazing. And how about the comment posted yesterday (about RedHat willing to give Free Software to every school in the US) ? This doesn't surprise me at all, I don't see how it would surprise anyone.
As muhc as some of you might mod this down as a troll as soon as you see te words "Communism", I'd suggest the opposite: This commentary is very true, as much as you'd hate to admit it. And no, Communism != Evil, as much as American history may have taught you otherwise

The reason the front page loads lightning fast is the same reason you get a static page around 5% of the time, instead of the dynamic one... MySQL's speed (and MySQL's crashing).
I'm surprised no one's mentioned this, since I've ben doingit forever. Anyone with broadband (cable/dsl) has a fast enough connection to simple SSH to their house, and forward ports over the conneciton. Thus, I have my web browser proxy set to 127.0.0.1:8000, whihc is forwarded to my home PC proxy over the SSH connection.
I don't think the record companies understand that ripping a cd isn't the only way to pirate the music.
Increasingly, the MP3's being traded online don't come from CD, but from television. Nowadays, with digital cable and Sat TV all over the place, the quality of the audio coming in over your TV is as good as any CD. Digital audio out to the PC, a little record and waveform edit later (to get rid o fthe beginning and ending you messed up), and boom, perfect track.
All they are doing with these stupid schemees are annying people. They are not solving anything.
...non-english speaking people would be going to the VivendiUniversal.com site in the first place. Since the whole site is English, I highly doubt that.
IE 6 and NS6 both have the same DOM, so you are totally wrong. IE6 just has some extra proprietary extentions (like transtitional effects, etc.), but so does NS6 (XUL). 99% of websites will work fine on both, as long as they are coded properly and do not purposelly alienate one browser (a-la MSN.com).
...market, was because Netscape 4 was a big bloated festering pile of monkey dung from day 1.
It never even PRETENDED to support standards, its CSS was mediocre at best, it used the <layer> tag for DHTML, instead of the W3C specified DOM properties (which IE MAINLY adhered to, even in the 4.0 days), and in general, was a bastard to code for. Take it from someone who has worked in the industry, everyone HATES coding websites for NS4.
Mozilla is now superior to IE in alot of ways, but its is too little far too late. While NS was releasing stupid add-on patches to its piece of crap (How many sub versions / bugfixes to NS4 are there? 4.0,4.01,4.04,4.5,4.74,4.75,4.76,4.77, etc. etc.), Microsoft was releasing IE5 and IE5.5, with much enhanced functionality. Sure, we all hate MS, but at least give them some credit. Netscape became overconfident in its market share, and stopped innovating. They are at least partially responsible for their own demise.
I find it interesting and/or odd that the line "3Com Corp., Cisco Systems Inc. and Intel Corp. are among the largest makers of wireless LAN equipment." is at the end of the yahoo article, even though NONE of these companies are mentioned anywhere in the article. Nice side-fact, or prehaps they are sponsors?
I've been wondering this for some time. Cancer cells are cells which multiply indefinatly, as opposed to normal cells, which only multiply for a specified amoutn of time, and then die off (with the exception of stem cells). Correct? Ok. Well' if I am right so far, can someone tell me why more research isn't going into controlling cancer, rather than destroying it? Like, I would think, if you could start and stop the cancer effect at will, you could live forever. Am I totally off base?
Yeah, I can NEVER wait until great foreign TV shows get moved over to the US, where they are immediatly ruined (eg. Whose line is it anyway, Junkyard Wars, Robot Wars, etc.) The originals are much better.
Who said anything about being brainless? Listen; MONEY drives the music industry. And guess who spends the most money on music: Teenage girls aged 14 - 21. Guess what music they like: Pop/Dance. They're not brainless, or brainwshed, they like it. And when I was younger, I did to. And so did you. So get of your high horse... If youw ant to change the music out there, the only way is to buy what you want, and kep buying. If enough people buy music of genre X, more music of genre X will be produced.
The RIAA doesn't want to contorl your minds, or control the type of music you listen to. They want to make money. Thats it.
Well then, its the chicken and the egg problem. If most people over 25 don't buy music becuase they don't like the stuff out there (which I believe is hogwash personally.. Theres MORE than enough music available in every genre you can imagine. If you wanted music, there is somehthing available you will like. The reasons people 25 and over don't buy more music are differen than "lack of choice"... but I digress), then sale sof that genre won't b steep enough to justify increased expendatures. If there aren't increased expendatures, the amount of music choice in tha category goes down. So people have less choice, so they buy less, etc etc. The only way to stop this is for people 25+ to start buying the music they like. But as I said, there are other factors disuading older people from buying music.

According to my sshd version (2.9p2), the -D option is to specify sshd to not detach. From the manpage:
-D When this option is specified sshd will not detach and does notbecome a daemon. This allows easy monitoring of sshd.
Perhaps you are running a different version? Regardless, I don't see how this is any simply than simply forwarding port 8000.
