Well, I'm running on hearsay at this point, but near-forced upgrades to versions that allow software to BSOD the machine could blow a hole in that one...
Perhaps if their company wasn't directly siphoning money out of other research labs and the pockets and calendars of other people who might otherwise choose to be more productive towards that end, I'd be less cynical.
If they did good work in the area of making an OS stable and not evil and not levying a hefty tax on every computer out there utilizing their monopoly status as leverage...
If they didn't ignore all the kittens called tripod...
dd doesn't give a flying poo about what data is going through it, so its not analyzing BAMs and such.
My point was, fill the filesystem to the brim with 0x00 files, wipe them out, then pipe dd, through a compressor (which will catch the zeroing done, bzip2 works really well here), then to where its going.
I just use dd, since any file level backing up in a live Windows can't do a complete job, and writing NTFS via FOSS has never stabilized (scary commentary on their filesystem).
Slashdot Mirror
But they missed out on a potential game of PSP disc-launch tag.
"Hah hah, I got you!"
"And I get to keep this game right?"
I'm proud to have downloaded it, just to delete it afterwards.
What is podcasting?
An ipod thing? Ipods can't broadcast? Isn't this coming over the net anyways?
Why have I not googled before mouthing off here?
Given how many people illegally watch their legally owned DVDs, I doubt there'll be much care about that.
Has congress been eating too many Freedom Fries again?
Instead of declaring illegal things illegal, why not do some housekeeping, fix up what we do have, work on what we actually don't, etc.
Xbox 360 - It's a "cool" name for the "skaters". It's bullshit, flip an Xbox 360 and you get an Xbox just like before.
Flip an Xbox 360 and you might slip and have the Xbox break your feet, and maybe the floor.
Another thing to note is that even if it had excellent graphics I think a lot of people would be put off my its turn-based nature.
Yeah, DOOM 3 proved that to me...
As long as it has Ogg Vorbis/Theora media clips to advance the plotline, its cool.

PLay a game while burning Mp3's... That will *kill* your single core.
Make sure DMA is enabled on your burner/harddrives.
*kill* is the proper word too...
Must make standard slashdot response....
"Gates corner turns blue, Gates dies."
This appears to be wasteful spending.
Someone probably said the same thing about ARPANET.
ARPANET wasn't about replacing nimble control with sluggish/gross control or mimicking movies that involved lotto balls as a core element.
I really don't see much here that can't be done using a smaller finger controlled representation of the bigger one.
The arm waving thing is generally idiotic, like most Speilberg stuff...
Now imagine if the 100,000+ /. readers all donated $5 - $10 a year. /. wouldn't need stupid ads.
Yes, but would they fix their HTML?
I also once suggested reading straight to lzop.
I'm not sure bzip2 starts operating unusually slow on zero entropy data though...

...yeah

Nobody needs to back up more than 640M.
Unused parts of the filesystem compress well after pretreating with the results of
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1G count=blah | bzip2 -9 >foo.bz2
(7zip decompress what you need, make a few zerofiles of varying size, dd rules)
As a non-server user a few years before 2003, I used to adore
dd if=/dev/hda1 | lzop >foo.lzo
I just use dd, since any file level backing up in a live Windows can't do a complete job, and writing NTFS via FOSS has never stabilized (scary commentary on their filesystem).
Could there be any way to "triangulate" the master key of a disc from the hundreds of encrypted keys on the disc?
Surely there will be a lot of informal research on this in the future...
I mean, would somethign that was perfectly healthy and able to succed in life be dormant for no reason?
Maybe God made them dormant for us to find as a way of thumbing his nose at evolutionists.
...or a float.
Wars would break out.
The biggest impact Firefox will have on web development is it will increase the cost of entry into run-almost-anywhere scripted websites.
IE already made that impact.
Yup, TVWonder VE here, works well on Linux in general.
