RSS is still the most elegant way to aggregate content. I works, it's simple, it's efficient. I use TinyTiny RSS (https://tt-rss.org/) for the nifty web interface on my desktop and the app on my phone that share a common database (IMAP-like). As someone already said, it's my morning paper. The quality went down, and I dropped some sources, but all in all, this is the most efficient way for me to follow all the media I am interested in. No RSS feed, I won't bother to follow the source any other way.
But you didn't really research this did you? I have this very setup (one low-end nvidia card running the binary blob, 2 screens, each running a standalone workspace on a single session). I googled it and had it setup in maybe 1 hour, research included. In xorg you define two devices that are actually the same video card. You define the two monitors. You define two screens, each using its own device and monitor. There you go. I use XFCE, but I guess it would work with other WMs.
Mac OS9 It's not that old, a lot of people can't upgrade to OS X because their hardware won't allow it, and there are no decent browsers for it. It' IE 5.2 for them. So CSS2, xmlHttp, and a lot of javascript is out. I know it's not a lot of people, but you can't decide not to support them on the ground that they could upgrade. They can't. They have to buy new hardware (some RAM at least, maybe even a DVD player to install OSX; probably change the whole machine). Just to upgrade their browser.
No. Fluorinert is expensive, and highly volatile, all the more when heated. You'd need a sealed system, with a heat exchanger somewhere. I worked for Cray, saw a Cray-2 system, and can assure you that (save for the coolness factor) you don't want one at home;)
Oh you are? You're not using the/. blurbs as your only source of french-centric news, are you? Then you should know that it's on a voluntary basis. You'll just ask your ISP to pay the tax, and that'll allow you to download whatever you please without fear of reprisal. Don't pay the tax, don't download (c) material. You're still free to get the latest torrent of your distrib. Since a theater seat is now about 9, I say 7 sounds pretty fair.
Please, you obviously read the books and try to share relevant information. Leave/. immediately and return when you have learned to talk about subjects you know nothing about, and refrain from having actual arguments in support of your opinions. TIA for your commitment in upholding the/. standards.
The music industry would like you to pay every time you listen to your CD. Having you buy another one if you break it is still waaaay off this objective, but rest assured that they will do everything in their power to get there. Same with the movie industry of course.
Every time the subject comes to the front-page, the thread is aflame with uninformed, knee-jerk, and often plain stupid posts.
Half of the people posting here don't even have a basic grasp of how the internet works. And, no, the internet is not the US. Sever the international links, and then you'll have a US-owned internet. Oh boy, you've lost access to the pirate bay. Hey, you can't get some crypto packages anymore! Please. That's the whole point of the internet.
If the world starts using different root-servers, that's it. They'll talk to the US-only roots to maintain connectivity, and the Us-only roots will talk to the new roots for the very same reason. And if they don't, why, just add them to your own setup. There. No one was harmed. Sharing the IP-space will be a bit harder; but that would be a good excuse to move to ipv6 faster.
But short of invading the world, there's little the US can do about it.
I can't see what the fuss is about. Really. Get on with your lack of life.
School research? He should have searched better! It's a well deserved 'F' if you ask me. Do you believe everything the internet tells you? Google turned into an oracle somewhere along the path? Gee...
That of course is the problem (meaning I agree with what you wrote).
Shareholders want to maximize immediate profits. This has little to do with the company's long-term interest. It probably goes against the company's long-term best interest as most "good" (for the company) decisions have only long-term results.
I designed a system, based on FOSS, that could handle this kind of load, scales nicely, is standard and buzzword compliant, elegant, flexible, and is tested (although not on this scale).
Why do you think debian has a non-us archive? And I'm very grateful that deCSS allows me to view DVDs in xine on linux. I'm sorry it didn't make it past the "novelty" stage for you. You're missing a useful tool.
"is a good thing"? Hey, you lost already. The war against intelligence (not the military kind, the one some of us carry with us) is on, and it's making good progress. If US scientists are inspired by holywood-grade science, the world can be at ease, the US will be a scientific backwater in no time.
I read enough. I read the parts that give the commission more power. Reasons to vote against would take up pages, and honestly, it doesn't matter.
The constitution was not accepted as it is, they'll either disguise it and try again, or just slowly start behaving just as if it had been accepted.
Democracy can not win this fight. There's too much apathy, too many TV-heads, believing what's fed to them without checking to make a difference.
Look at the other answer to my post. Any points there? No. Just plain beliefn and repeating the media mantra.
If you're interested, you could read this. It's precise, and for every point made, gives you the number of one or more articles that support the point.
I have yet to read the same thing from the "yes" side.

Yup, I'm right there with you.
Even though I posted less here, I always kept an eye on /. (and had been a lurker even before I registered).
Good luck in your future endeavors, may they be just as successful!

Seriously.
You get immediate visual feedback; and it is properly structured unlike basic. Move on to pascal afterward, then C.

True. Tie him to the comfy chair, and poke him with the soft cushion!
No. ;)

SSI's "The Warp Factor". Oh, the hours spent on it.
Not to mention Wizardry & Ultima (1-4 of course).
Ah, kids these days...

You don't know? I pity you. I could explain every one of your examples. And then some.
That was modded 'Funny' where it should have been modded 'Sad'.
It's so true it's frightening.

Guess what - I'm not posting the howto here
Linux Engineers have flamewars about vi vs. emacs.
Slashdot trolls have flamewars about Gnome vs. Kde.

Why do you think we voted against the european so-called constitution? It made matters worse than they are if you can believe it.
