Yes, I sent in a change-request for a host record to them a couple of days ago. After about one day I get a message back from MAILER-DAEMON saying that their Perl-script dumped. Way to go. Then I receive a message telling me that they had sent a request to my second-level domain administrator asking for verification (thats me too), but I sure as hell hasn't received any such request for verification. Damn them. I want my host record(s) changed!
I started out with Slackware many, many years ago so it's actually rather fun to see they've got their own place now. I've still got one computer (which my mom uses, how about that?) that runs Slack, but the main server has moved to Debian GNU/Linux and my gateway/jukebox runs my own homebrew GNU/Linux system. In any way, good luck Slack. I know atleast a couple of nerds who will be very glad about this news:)
You can't really sell support for music in the same way as you can for software, but I'm pretty sure that if one thinks about it, one will be able to come up with secondary solutions to this problem. However, I've never really seen music as a sources of income. I would want to write music, not to make money, but rather to share a feeling or a thought with others.
Hey! Give us a break. Some of us are trying to sleep;> And it's saturday aswell. Probably lots of slashdot readers who only reads from work during the weekdays.
It would seem to me that ``free'', as it is used for mp3.com isn't at all the same as in ``free software''. I'm not a composer, but if I would write music, I would release it for free in the sence that anyone could copy it, redistribute it, take it apart, put it together, distribute enhanchements etcetera. I hope there are composers out there who thinks like me and will release more music to the public in this way.
I just spend a day beeing very productive at work, reading all User Friendly in the archive. It's nice to see such a good serie beeing given some more attention.

I think this is way too late. If I were in charge, I would skip slink and go straight to potato.

I'm working on it...

I had one once. I grew very irritated when you couldn't use them for two-way communication so it's now resting peacefully at the bottom of a lake. :)
