Personally, the first thing I do on my own home machine is install my stock kernel, then add patches as required (currently on 2.4.25+saa7134+lm_sensors)
I agree. I don't see a problem with binary only firmware as long as it works (preferably has a well specified interface) and can be freely distributed by linux distributions.
While we are at it... The above is my #1 windows annoyance.
#2 is the drag and drop than often happens in tree view when you are slighly clumsy with the mouse/double click. OS/2 fixes this too by using the right mouse button for all drag&drop operations. (and using the left drag one for multiple-selection).

I think you underestimate the amount of steel by a factor of 100 or more.
The Borg were neutered long before VOY. It was at Best of Both Worlds Part II.
I bet that finding a 3.5" drive in a few decades won't be a problem either.
(unlike 5.25 which were suprisingly more reliable IME)
I have said before. What we need is a P2P distributed browser cache.
I'd actually like the python syntax if "pass" was mandatory, like this:
if a >= 0:
print "ok"
pass
This would allow editors (emacs mostly does a good job already) to provide automatic code indentation (for me a 100% must have feature).

like what? begin end ? or ...: pass ?
Eat your heart out Kirk!
For me, my mouse wheel doesnt work with 2.6 on my KVM switch. Until I can fix this I'm staying with 2.4
Sounds like the job for the railgun.
Something like P2P distributed browser cache would definately be very useful.
He said open source.
If the linux desktop is to go 3D this is a hard requirement.
I agree.
I'd much prefer a computer as fast as my current one but silent.
This is actually a very good thing if the rumors that Mono System.Windows.Forms uses Wine are true.
It's not like we need yet another Gui toolkit on the linux desktop.
I agree. I don't see a problem with binary only firmware as long as it works (preferably has a well specified interface) and can be freely distributed by linux distributions.
I have noticed this too.
You are sugesting a fork in Java development.
This will only happen (in a bad way) if Sun are neglecting Java development and not doing things people want.
(I do personally belive Java could stand some cleaning up, but it doesn't have to happen overnight)

Same here. I bought Radeon 9000 because of the open source drivers.
I'm upgrading as soon as there is a faster card (R300) with open source drivers.
Q3 runs very well and that's 90% of what play.
UT2004 doesn't run though.
Well, after they rejected Klingon from unicode, I don't care about non ASCII anymore.
The way things are going, the fight for privacy is lost.
What we MUST demand is equal rights for spying for everyone. This is the only reasonable alternative to privacy.
Juck.

Smarter file renaming was done in OS/2 >10 years ago (alt+click required).
It would finally be usable without the mouse, because the right hand would be unavailable.
