Hmm videogames and gore have nothing to do with geekdome... hmm.... Believe me I'm just as sick of reading all the comments from people who didn't like a particular story. Fortunatly for you
you can customise what kind of stories you see, I on the other hand can't just block these. Comments. Check out the customise slashdot option it's pretty neat for both of us!
Great now we need another administrative body to
make sure the keys are unique? I'm not familiar with Diffie-Hellman. Does it guarantee a one to
one hash? If so can it be that strong of an
encryption?
(I'm not trying to be argumentative I really want to know, this sound interesting:) )
People who have to install on multiple machines.
People who have slow(modem) network connections.
People who want the documentation or support.
People who need people(how did that get in there?)
People who don't want to spend 3000 hours downloading all th rpms.etc....
If I were to install at work I would do a network
install(one machine no frills). But at home I buy
prepackaged versions. Just because it's worth $30.00 not to have to download all the programs
that come with red-hat.
Plus I would think a lot of developers would want
the packaged version because that's what most
people will probably use and if there are any
bugs in the distribution that will affect their
code they will probably want to know.
Linux has thrived, partly due to the support of
corprate sponsers. I guess the question is can Linux keep up with the sponsors it's killing off,
and without the sponsors will the quality of
the free software keep increasing at the rate it
has been?
I would also reccomend his book The 11th Hour. It was one of the best books I've ever experienced. I use the word experience because it really was. All of the pictures wer filled with all kinds of puzzles and the whole book was a mystery in its self. Whether or not you have kids(Great to do with them) get yourself a copy of this book!!!!
This is an important subject. I had a passing interest in Linux for years, but ESR spoke at my LUG(My first meeting). Although he was quite stricken with the Flu at the time it was definatly an eye opener and probably the reason my interest moved into actually using linux as an os and not a toy.
This doesn't seem too much of a challange to me. I mean admittedly it's quite a feat of robotics and computer technology, but Race car driving is
mostly a test of agility and quick thinking isn't it? A computer with a good understanding of physics should be able to determine the perfect speeds and angles as well as determine when the tires are too bald and extrapolate when more gas is needed etc...
Deep blue actually had to outhink a human(If you can call Kasparov human:) ) without just simply being faster. Even deep blue couldn't know all the possible chess moves. Although quick thinking was certainly a part of it, it seems more than that.
Not to knock what you're doing. The technology just in the robotics to controll the car must be amazing, but it might be better to compare the test to the first cars that could outrun a horse rather than Deep blue.
I just read this story about 5 minutes ago and
could swear it said IBM not Cisco. Now the link
goes to IBM's site, but the story and title say
cisco? Anyone else see this or am I loosing it?
Maybe this will be the next Mountain Dew commercial.
No more guys in shorts with long hair mountain biking off cliffs, and bungie jumping off of spikey mountains. The next wave of commercials will be business men in Suits daring to speak into their cellular phones.

have you ever read the GPL?

Your knowledge of business and marketing are kinda weak:) Routing vendors will make whatever
sells.

Sure makes my upcoming 30th birthday seem trivial:)

I suppose it might be cool to do a DoS attack against your brother/sister on an in house lan while playing an fps against them. But other than that...
No this isn't something I've done, I'm an only child.

Most of the people in High School I knew who wore
D.A.R.E shirts were stoners if that says anything.
Great finally Linux in the mainstream and it's
used by a bunch of crackers. Maybe this isn't such good PR.

The point wasn't who'se site it was, the point /. front page.
was how the story changed on
I just read this story about 5 minutes ago and
could swear it said IBM not Cisco. Now the link
goes to IBM's site, but the story and title say
cisco? Anyone else see this or am I loosing it?
(My officemate saw it too! Yippie)
Why are you putting things in tmp that you don't want to lose?
I do understand though I use Solaris at work and
learned this one the hard way:)
From the department... Is that like the agency? /.
The MIBS are living at
.... scary
umm..... joke?
Because, if something can make money then it's a crime if it doesn't. Basic premise of our(US) society.
I was going to set up a multihead system but I just fried my monitor by drooling over the 5 head unreal pictures!!!

Do the RADical Dew!!!
I don't think people will stop using them for anything, they make people money, and that's certainly more important then health
I can just see it now... "That's not a tumor growing out of my head. It's a genetically enhanced cellular phone holder!".
Perhaps it's all a ploy and Microsoft is just goign to buy Sony, and Nintendo.
You know... for a sight claiming that the eye jumps for text first they have an awefully big
picture with an awfully small sidebar of text.
To be perfectly honest, I don't find Microsoft all that appealing!?!
(Sorry couldn't resist).
