Many people know what a Mandrake freak i am, but I must say that I have a lot of faith in this one. Mandrake always has good kernel patching and packaging, and I think that they will be able to get the right stuff into the PPC kernels, among all the other cool stuff, like their smoothe installer.
I'd like to say that I feel bad and all, but I just don't. The kid was obviously smart enough to know that he was breaking the rules. Those that break the rules do it with the knowledge that they MIGHT get caught. Sure, the rules might have been too strict, but they're there for a reason.
If you're going to break the rules/laws, be willing to suck it up and accept the punishment, and think it through.
Don't accept any sympathy from me... take responsibility for your actions.

Hey bro, if you like Meshuggah, please check out my buddy's (LegionsInHiding) guitar medley from Chaosphere:
After reading many of the comments in this thread, it seems that many people can work very well if they go to bed, and then think of great ideas in the SHOWER!!!!
So come on guys, let's try to stay showered up this time, and we'll all be better workers!
Now I can see why the guys working on Mandrake Firewall are not yet using 2.4 for a production firewall! At first I thought that having a stateful firewall would have be worth it, but more testing has to be done before anyone makes it production.
Don't get me wrong -- I love Mandrake and the guys that work for MandrakeSoft. However, I must say that just like 7.0, the beta cycle on this was far too short. If you read MandrakeForum, you will notice that there seems to be many unresolved bugs.
However, I do think that this is much, much better than 7.2, just don't be surprised to see 8.1 (or 8.01) come out just as quickly, and tons of things in MandrakeUpdate.
I want just one movie that has basically NO plot, and just one thing:
FIGHTING!
I don't care what it's about, I'd just love to see 2 hours of fight scenes. Would pay 4x over to keep seeing it too!
Some of the fight scenes I've enjoyed most were out of The Matrix, Rocky IV, and the Phantom Menace (amazing correography!). I was personally disappointed in Crouching Tiger. I have been told of some good Bruce Lee flicks, and will check them out.
Fight Club sounded like it had a good chance to be what I wanted -- but failed miserably. The fight scenes were mediocre, and the lame plot twists had nothing to do with fighting:)
We all know that Rob and Warmenhoven are the kings of their domain! However, Rob, I'm changing your roadmap:
Before pre9 rolls around, you're going to feature my plugin idea (It doesn't have to be named after me or anything..)
Rob knows what I'm talking about, but for those of you that don't, it's basically a call screening mode for GAIM. You go on an awEy! message, but certain buddies, such as your best friend, can get through the awEy! message and talk to you.
This is good because then you don't hurt the feelings of anybody you might just want to ignore -- they won't know any better, they think that you're awEy! However, you are able to get work done, and talk to a couple people that you do want to be bothering you:)
GAIM has all the functionality to do this. I've even been told to write the plugin, and i looked at C, and just got scared, and dont' have enough time. But it can and MUST be done!!
If you don't understand my odd-speak, s/awEy/away/g;
Being an employee at an ISP that partners with Northpoint, let me professionally say that this sucks!. There's going to be a lot of work to do in order to get these customers back with DSL. Most likely get them onto Ameritech services, which we do have in the area.
Not only this, but comptetitors Covad and Rhythms are also in a load of financial turmoil!! Go search for that and you'll see, i'm not in the mood to look for links (sorry)
Let me disagree with you by counterexample. Popular death-metal musical group, Fear Factory, has had www.fearfactory.com. Fear Factory chose Yani 'Big God' Pavlis to be the webmaster in 1995, since he hosted the most popular fan club page at the time - it was named Soul of a Net Machine (after FF's first album, Soul of a New Machine).
As if that isn't point enough for you, the story continues...
However, one popular fan with the nick of HunteR-KilleR, created www.fearfactoryfanclub.com. The site was VERY good, and became awfully popular.
Sad news struck when Yani Pavlis died this year of a heart attack. He was born with a weak heart, and after he had stopped breathing for 12 minutes, he was in a coma ever since. With having zero brain activity, his parents finally decided to let him go and turn off life support.
Well, Fear Factory had to move on, and as you can guess, they hired HunteR-KilleR as their newest webmaster.
But you're right. Having a fan club is a wasted of time and accomplishes nothing. Right?
Fear Factory is not a small time band either. They are dedicating their newest CD, Digimortal, to Yani.
Heh, but not everybody is as radical as you are in this sense. For this reason, I love what Salon is doing -- giving a choice. Now we're both satisfied, and Salon might grab a few more bucks on the way.
By giving these choices, there's nothing to get upset about.

2600 is lame. Who would waste time and money doing this?
Ford is lame. Who cares? They don't have a very strong case.
The judicial system is lame. No matter what decision is made, it will be based on the wrong reasons.
Slashdot is lame. Wasn't this already mentioned yesterday?
Arrr.. perhaps i'm in lame spirits! Time to bust out the booze :)

HOWEVER - latest galeon (0.10.1?) needs newer gnome betas.
HOWEVER - newer gnome betas still not packaged for mandrake.
Therefore, everything is ximian's fault. Their packagers have been VERY slow compared to when helix code was first made.
