Um, have you actually been reading Slashdot for the past few years? I would guess that the number of desktop Linux users here numbers no more than 10%. If someone wants to talk Linux, they'll at least go to the Gentoo forums or something, which is halfway intelligent and not completely infested with corporate whores.
I wouldn't give the Gentoo Forums too much credit. My time there has been...interesting. Last I checked, there was a lot of screaming and accusations relating to strawmanning.
"Obvious reasons"? The OS course at the University of Washington I took used the Windows Research Kernel.
Granted, I've been using Linux for many years before then, and would've preferred the course to be Linux-based, it was still a great learning experience.

Ctrl-v is your friend in vim (And of course, Shift-v for line select).
Meh, marks are good enough for me. I never use select mode.
My 20" SyncMaster 203B runs at 1400x1050. It was the highest-resolution thing of reasonable size I could find in the LCD range, and that was years ago.
If you're going to send the header, you might as well detect what it supports first, and send application/xhtml+xml if it's supported. It's a simple stristr() on HTTP_ACCEPT. I've been doing it an all of my sites since I started with PHP, and do it with Perl and Python as well..
In what world is 160Mbps "almost as fast" as 900+Mbps?
In Imagination Land, obviously.
In all seriousness, the GP probably doesn't use their LAN for anything but Internet access, and even 802.11b is good enough for most people there, aside from the latency.
I'm not sure if/how it would work on a Mac, but I do know that VDPAU is working very well on Linux, it'll accelerate H.264 decoding if you have an 8xxx or later nVidia chip.
You need to be very careful with this, because that statement isn't entirely true. According to Wikipedia, only cards with PureVideo HD 2 or newer support will work with VDPAU, and that excludes the first generation of GeForce 8-series cards.
Sounds like some bad hardware. In all my years of using Linux, I've only seen stuff like that from a PowerMac G3 B&W (which could only read once-written CD-RWs).
I mainly use Gentoo, though, which may have something to do with the lack of trouble.
I've been using the "Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)" option for years on my Gentoo systems, and haven't seen any problems with it. The little bit of overhead seems negligible compared to the voluntary option.
Slashdot Mirror
I think they're implying, correctly, that larger displays generally have higher screen resolutions than smaller ones.
Related question: Why do all small and compact electronics have to have the word "smart" in it? Are they trying to associate it with smart?
Buzzword or not, it's still annoying.

The easiest solution is to use the command-line to run the text editor with the script's path as the argument.
The VIA Nano has had AES, SHA-1, and SHA-256 acceleration since its inception.
On the note of the Lupo: Not all of us want used cars.
About the two-seater: Some of us want the ability to carry more than two (or three in extreme circumstances) people in a single vehicle.
I'd recommend a Logitech Cordless TrackMan. It has more buttons than are useful, and even has a scroll wheel.
I think you're referring to Vimperator.

There, fixed that for you.

Considering the ambient temperature of interstellar space, this is probably more like an oven.
A Model M would be of great utility here.

Failing that...
Why does manually changing DNS servers work only temporarily
Perhaps that's the reason cron exists: to make sure your DNS servers are reset to your preference despite DHCP mangling them.

Then use the RSS feed like any 'sane' person. All 'modern' browsers, and IE7, have integrated RSS feed readers, so you shouldn't complain.

... (801.22g is super old?).
The IEEE hasn't even released an 801 standard, at least as far as I can tell. Even if it has, 801 likely has little to do with 802.11.

We had one of those when 2.6.9 came out, but not since. A shame.
Or to be absolutely correct, try nihonshu.
Has anyone noticed that Slashdot fails with Unicode? The Kanji for nihonshu turns into "æ--¥æoeé...'".
Yeah Python definitely isn't an object-oriented language, and its object-oriented programming is sketchy at best...
Are you sure you aren't talking about C++?
