but that begs the question, what happens when you deindent? do you hit backspace 8 (or 4) times, or does your editor remember that those couple spaces should be treated as one text object?
trying not to start another holy war in the same thread, but what editor do you use? --
Read pivot_root(8). Assuming you've already created the encrypted filesystem, this is easy. Not that I've tried this or anything, but the man page makes me think it will work.
nice justification, but i tend to believe that these things are for real. did anyone else see these on junkyard wars? i believe it was the episode where they had to get from point a to point b without using any wheels of any kind; the walking machine episode. the female host interviewed this guy as he ran around in circles wearing these things.

This is a relatively monolithic kernel; only sound is modular,
um, what does that have to do with parallelisim? compiling driver xyz as a module doesn't give you a more multithreaded kernel or any other speed advantage. it just means you can add and remove features as needed for a small memory gain. trivial, at today's prices.
several other people have stated that the newton and the palm aren't competing devices. they're right for the reasons they state (palm is great in its simplicity, newton is more like a real platform). the thing you aren't seeing is that most consumers won't carry two handheld computers. mit media lab geeks aside, one onboard computer per person is plenty. so from a financial point of view, they are similar enough that they are competitors.
personally, i break out in hives if i forget my visor at home. but i'd love to see some of apple's current engineering make its way into a resurgence of the newton line. that would be a dream machine.
Now, if their security systems stopped the intruders cold, why were 7500 credit cards then used fraudulently? I think Egghead has some more explaining to do...
hmm, maybe those 7500 people shopped elsewhere online. it's not impossible that those credit cards were compromised at another site. the only thing that bothers me is that they apparently can't even read the logs of their own auditing software.
heavens-above.com has very nice reports on this kind of thing, espically iridium flares and iis sightings. that link is generated by my preferences for east coast data, but that's easy enough to change. --
the only thing lilo handles better than grub is software raid partitions. as it stands, grub can't boot those. when that feature is in place, we should see more distros (at least debian from what i hear) using grub by default.

if you must be a retard, please do it in private. anyone can own any tld. do you really think that everything under.net is really a "network-critical resource?" or do you think that every.org has been verified as a non-profit organization under us law? or even that.coms are commercial? lots of private citizens own vanity domains, many under.com.
and, as i'm sure rob has said many times, they bought the.com so that noone could take their name. same reason why microsoft owns their.org. and in case you're curios, yes. there is a slashdot.net. and guess what? it's what appears to be a norweigin publishing comany, unrelated to this site except by a very polite "did you mean to go here?" link.
my favorite local ISP, Cape.Com has been doing this for quite some time. the have POPs from cape cod to southern new hampshire, they're friendly to linux, and since their HQ used to be a bank, their server farm/dialup pool is in an underground fault. all in all, better than the other guys in my area. (i'm pointing at you, c4.net and capecod.net:)
i'm not saying linux is right for the palm because i'm a linux zealot (like you seem to believe) but because it has proven itself on confined hardware, and because if find the current underlying os on palms to be lacking.
also, i never said that palm would have to release their interface as a free software. the underlying os (and their changes) would remain free, with a for-profit interface. never work you say? heard of OSX?
if your just going to troll, go read infoworld or something.
first let me say that i think today's linux is a terrible operating system for handheld computers.
</asbestos>
like another poster said, what the hell would you do with it? i type pretty darn fast, and i love the power that communicating with the computer verbally gives me. but the you just can't do that kind of thing within the palmtop form factor. at least not until we see some real software for that arena.
the palm os (as great as the interface is) is a tragedy from an operating system design point of view. no protected memory, no real multitasking, nothing you would ever tolerate on a desktop system.
rumor has it that the nextgen palms will run on be 200 to 400mHz ARM chips. if i were on the palm (handspring) board of directors, i'd be pushing to develop the next palm interface on linux.
imaging handspring-developed hardware, powered by arm, held together with linux, supporting a palm interface. stunning.
grub is the boot manager designed for GNU/Hurd, but i'm using it on two linux-only systems and it works very well. it supports fancy menus, network booting, and a command line that feels a lot like a boot monitor. the best part is, it runs without a config file. the boot loader understands ext2, reiser, fat32 and more, nativly. hell it even does command history and autocomplete. you can give it a config file of course, but the point is you can just tell it:
i don't remember the exact URL, but i think it's something like this. i should point out that the version in debian potato is sorta baked. build the latest one from source if possible.
if anybody remembers the arnold superflop "last action hero", you may also recall that the studio that produced it had an ad painted on the side of that big brown fuel tank that helps put the shuttle up. we could interpert that to mean that nasa is open to the idea of corporate sponsorship, espically given the bad press that "faster, cheaper" nasa missions have gotten recently.
forgive me for not knowing the technical name for that tank, or even the spelling of arnolds last name.
OTOH, i'd rather see andover put their money into funding some more worthy software projects than painting a logo on my least favorite space craft. carl sagan put it best when he argued that "space exploration does not mean orbiting the earth".
have you looked at snort? this package listens on a given interface and compares each packet with a kind of regexp. the language is *very* easy to pick up, so you should be able to write rules that notify you of anything that is blatently private information, without a human ever seeing anything private.
OTOH, make it known (ie, via posters, memos, etc) that any employee that violates your "terms of service" will be met with diar consequences. invoke any legal power that you can, and don't be afraid to scare people.
if it were my decision, i'd use snort (or similar tool) alone. telling people what you don't want them to do is a great way to get them to do it.
Werd up bitches I got UID one
the wild slasdot-cruiser is what I just won
Y'all may snicker 'bout my dual boot
But deep down ya know I'm motherfuckin root
i saw something on freshmeat a few months ago that could take in a wave source like you described and break it into tracks based on silence between songs. which of course means that sgt. pepper would only be like two tracks, so it can also break it up by track length. wish i could remember what it was called...
the archive is was recorded at about the time i was born, early may '81. this is about as nostalgic as i have ever felt. thankyou, slashdot, for reporting this.
i don't care how great debian's toolset is, there are still some things you just don't do without reliable console access. i run debian on all of my servers, and i still insist on driving to the site before making any major changes. i expect most people do the same.
please don't degrade debian by trolling about how great apt is.
Also, why on earth do you want so many partitions? If each was going to be on a different drive, it would make sense to break them up. However, you write that it'sall going to be on a single 20 gig drive.
for one thing, i know graphics arts people that like to format and recreate filesystems between projects to eliminate leftover fragmentation. that's mainly ntfs on win32, however. i'm the wrong person to tell you how reiser or ext2 deal with fragmentation.
other than that, i hardly ever partition my systems to any great extent. my home machine has 4g for root and 8g for home, but they are seperate drives.
i can see the logic in making user a/usr seperate partition. that and mounting it noatime is a handy trick for getting that ipmasq gateway's disk to spin down.
according to the classic definitions of life, water is neccisary for life, and the current projects looking for water on other planets are really searching for the potential for life. a more radical question would be, does life really have to mean water?
the scifi fans out there i'm sure have heard of silicon based life. by that i mean organisims that are based on silicon rather than carbon. the chemical reactions that would keep such an organisim going might not need water in the way that caronic organisims do. there may be other elements that may be just as versital as silicon and carbon.
now, the meat: are we as a culture (and as a scintific community) ready to accept non-orgainic "life" as life? i'll leave the obvious AI questions to other posters.
