"you can't tell me it is as easy as WinNT to setup"
that was once correct, but not any more. i have a "thing" with operating systems - they interest me very intensely, and so i try them out quite regularly. in the past few years, i've installed slackware 2.x, redhat 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, mandrake 5.2, 6.0, 7.0 and now 7.1, corel 1.1, windows nt server 4.0, windows 9x (probably 2-300 times), various versions of dos, freebsd, beos from 3.0 up to current... the beos installer was pretty simple, but i can *honestly* say that i have *never* seen a system better set up than the mandrake 7.1 system i installed a few days ago. it detected EVERYTHING it needed to and set them up accordingly. sound blaster live, crap onboard video, etc. win9x is relatively easy to set up, but this installer, quite honestly, put it to shame. you may prefer windows, and that's fine - to each his own. but please don't say things like this around easily influenced people and prospective linux users. it borders on propaganda... -- DeCSS source code! you must amputate to email me.
:) emacs... i admire emacs. it's an incredible piece of software. but when i want to save a file and exit, i want to type "ZZ" instead of having to type ctrl-x ctrl-c ctrl-alt-del 19834u9jasfkj;akjwerjslfjjasdf! and then sitting on my mouse while tapping my monitor 3 times:) i'm not sure emacs could be any more complex... -- DeCSS source code! you must amputate to email me.
alright. i've always wanted to ask people this - you have *no* non-free software on your system? alright... but what do you use to view slashdot with? i don't have *much* non-free stuff on my system, but i'm guilty of q3a for linux (gotta show my support for loki) and netscape and probably a few other things. anyway, this not meant as a "yeah right, jackass, you've got *something* nonfree" or anything... just wondering what browser you use. if mozilla, what *did* you use before mozilla was actually runnable? that's the only area i can think of where a non-free app accomplishes what free software hasn't yet. -- DeCSS source code! you must amputate to email me.
i once did a map of my school. it was good fun. not 'cause we wanted to shoot students or anything, just 'cause it was a pretty good layout for a DM map we thought. woulda been cool for CTF as well. that was for quake though, not q3. also did a map of my house once. it was pretty fun. maps of existing structures really are pretty damn cool... -- DeCSS source code! you must amputate to email me.

my father is the senior director of broadcast engineerying (blahblahblah) at WETA television in arlington, virginia. they were filming some sort of documentary for PBS and gene kranz was part of it. my father and he got to talking in the studio and decided on dinner and that's pretty much how it happened. as i related before, a very interesting character to talk to, very knowledgeable on many subjects. -- DeCSS source code! you must amputate to email me.
i hear what you're saying. but it was pretty damn cool for a twelve year old. it's not stitched on a pillow, but he did write it on a note which i still have. and as obvious as it seems, it can be rather helpful to someone down on their luck. -- DeCSS source code! you must amputate to email me.
i actually had the opportunity to sit down at a dinner with Mr. Kranz and my father a few years ago. we had a good talk about many things, from space shuttles to his hobby of flying planes and whatnot. one thing he related to me (and has turned out to be a good piece of advice) is to fly high and never let go of your dreams. besides being intelligent, he's also an incredibly wise man and very fun to talk to. -- DeCSS source code! you must amputate to email me.

yeah, that's what we need, april fools jokes on topics that people take seriously. how many sites are gonna post stupid shit like this and then some clueless newbie is gonna do whatever. i can see it now: "to get rid of the remote administration exploit, simply boot into DOS and type "deltree c:\windows" and answer Yes when it asks for confirmation..." moreover, i find the trolls hilariously funny, but do we need stupid fucking shit like this on slashdot? much less two or three or five times? i come here for news, not bullshit. -- DeCSS source code!

i'm more embarrassed about the treatment of japanese americans. i don't care how late we joined. and you also need to realize something else - the US was sending England TONS of supplies via the lend lease program. we were in the war before it was official. it also took us a while to get into the war 'cause we needed to prepare. yeesh. as for WWI, yeah, we waited a bit on that. hindsight is always 20/20, eh?
as for his comments, they're rude but amusing. many americans perceive an arrogance from most britons. i have nothing against britons i meet, 'cept they all seem to look down on me FOR SOMETHING I CANNOT CONTROL. and DAMMIT does it ever irritate me, 'cause i NEVER did anything to them. it's a hateful world and it's silly. cut your shit out, yeah? "fight fire with fire" doesn't fucking work. -- DeCSS source code!
ha. come on man. i was laughing 'cause i found your shit funny, but if you're going to argue, do it right. McKinley was assasinated a decade and a half before the US joined World War I. the ship was the Lusitania. as for World War II, there was much more than the bombing of Pearl Harbor - our ships being at danger, etc. you make some humorous arguments, but you need to back them better with facts. -- DeCSS source code!
sony has taken measures such that they're not allowed to leave japan, so i don't think you're going to be getting one any time soon, hemos... -- DeCSS source code!
the comments so far are rather negative - an apathetic stance toward this. yeah, so you might not see it as all that important - but look at it this way: if they can fit the tens of billions on a single chip, think how small they could make a chip that only needed 27 million? smaller, faster computers - means more powerful laptops, pda's, etc. pardon me for seeing this as a *good* thing... -- DeCSS source code!
sure - why not? you would just have to make sure that it didn't use any proprietary dll's - most delphi apps don't (or the ones i've written, anyway)... release the source for distribution. of course, not everyone is going to have delphi - but those who do may be of some help to the developer, or may learn from the source. just like i don't *have* to install a c compiler on my linux boxen - doesn't mean i can't have the source for a program, you know? all programs i'm writing for windows are being released under the GPL and there shouldn't be a problem.... -- DeCSS source code!
yes, i understand. i like having nice roads to drive on, and i like the fact that (most) killers and rapists aren't on the streets to kill my sister or rape my girlfriend. HOWEVER.... this is just like taxing cross-border purches, which currently are NOT taxed. the country is making enough money right now as it is, and so are the states. they don't need to steal more of my hard earned money so they can throw it, through welfare, to the people that are too goddamn lazy to work for themselves. fine if they actually can't work, but that's not how the situation is. just pisses me off that my hard work is financing a bunch of lazy asses. -- DeCSS source code!
i'm in maryland too, and i've heard the same. but currently, you don't have to pay sales tax on goods that are shipped cross-border (ie if i buy a computer from new york, i don't pay sales tax on it, but if i buy one in maryland, i do)... i imagine that they're going to try to change this, but make sure to let your elected representatives know that they are there FOR YOU and that you DEMAND that they vote against such taxes. surely enough people will oppose these taxes - no one likes paying more than they have to. -- DeCSS source code!
i had a friend that dreamt she was having sex... and woke up with her pants & underwear lying on the floor... she also had a dream that she had been bleeding, and woke up and saw the trash can was full of bloody tissues - nose bleed. -- DeCSS source code!
