Google employees won't be reading your mail you paranoid f*ck. The only thing reading your mail will be you, and the massive computer it's stored on. Is that much worse than ISP's doing spam filtering? What about HotMail then? If your ISP (or HotMail, if your're using that) reading your mail?
There is a simple reason that I press the elevator button when I enter the elevator, even if it's pressed or not. This comes from the simple fact that the elevator closes it's doors faster when I press it.
I'm building my own PVR... Skipping commercials wasn't in my mind when I started the project. Actually, I might skip commercials. I will skip the commercials that I've already seen, that I'm tired of seeing. I only like commercials that make me laugh. Commercials is something I haven't asked to see, they are something that are forced upon me. A commercial has to be damn good to convince me to buy a product.
Actually, advertising companies should pay me to tell them which commercials I don't want to see.
I can't see why this is going to replace the mini-itx in any way.
I'm using my mini-itx as my home entertainment centre, and as such connect it to my TV and Stereo. It also serves as the home for my iPod and Digital camera. In addition, it's my local fileserver, firewall, web and mail-server. It's even my local wireless access-point. It's so feature-packed, that I've probably missed a dozen services.
With the PS2 linux kit, you're still in a sandbox. You can't play audio CD-R's, play legal imports and other useful stuff. This one allows you to do that:)
It might interest a few of you that there is a program available to use a USB-cable to screw around with the PS/2. It's available at naplink.napalm-x.com. Go wild:)
Because you'll have to actively read security announcements to know what the fuck is up?
This patch is new. New enough that it wasn't included when I installed a Win2K SP4 and updated everything from windowsupdate, this patch wasn't included. This was yesterday.
The applications where you really see the difference is KDE and Gnome. KDE and Gnome compiled for i386 is a pain in the ass compared to when compiled for i686.
I know Mozilla is sped up incredibly much. I haven't tested OpenOffice, and I hardly think XMMS would benefit.
Linux from scratch is nice if you need a system built *entirely* to your specs. It's not a distro (IMHO).
Gentoo is nice for building a *fast* desktop system. Not as much for a server, unless you spend a lot of time tweaking dependencies to remove all of X/Gnome/KDE dependencies. (No, the USE-flags aren't enough)
Gcc 2.95.x doesn't do much in the ways of optimizing for newer processors. Gcc 3.2 otoh, does (Even if it takes three times as long to compile something:).
I like Gentoo because it *lets* me modify what dependencies I want apache to have. With precompiled binaries you can't (Unless the distributor makes 1 gazillion different packages). It's not a perfect system, but it works.
If Linux had an exploit that allowed someone to ssh into your box, su to root, then fsck your harddrive, and a patch wasn't released yet, would you be pissed off that bugtraq posted the code to exploit the bug?
There is a slight difference between windows and linux on this issue...
Usually the responsetime for a security hole that big would be patched within a few hours of the issue becoming known. (for linux) Besides, the patches are usually out before the exploits are.
On windows, I wouldn't expect the security-hole to be plugged for the first two months.
This is an issue Microsoft has known about for more than a month. Why haven't they fixed it?
Releasing the exploit forces Microsoft to release a patch for a hole that should have been patched several weeks ago.

I still use my old-fashion "The network is the computer" Sun mousepad. Atleast Sun got *one* thing right :P

I couldn't find it on IANA's list of MAC-adresses. It should be on that list :P

It's nice, but it doesn't tell me that the mail has been removed...
I've so far recieved TWO.

But I wonder, what solutions do people use to filter viruses? I use postfix/procmail right now... Adding a virus scan to that wouldn't hurt
Why not FB? A successor using FB would probably increase the FB development enough for FB to work with that hardware.
I told him that in a lot of places in the world these are quite common; he was awe. "'ot in Uganda' he said to me.

Does the cube do half that? Didn't think so.
Got a LG DVD-ROM and a CD-RW that works just fine (Albeit the DVD-ROM is a tad noisy). I haven't had a problem with LG at all.

You don't need a memory card reader. What you need is a usb cable and a piece of software. You can update this from PC whenever you like :)
Probably, since you can play US games on european PS/2's :)
Actually, no. When you wrie a piece of software, you automatically get the copyright, whether or not you want it.
How are you supposed to get all the patches with the network cable unplugged?

But unsubscribing will confirm that the mailaddress is still in use, and thus is worth money when they sell it...
Where's the karma-whore with a no-registration-link? :)

And if you go to http://www.muropaketti.com/ and look at the frontside, it has a nice screenshot of a PC booting with 4439MHz.
:)
That's pretty close to 4.5GHz
