edlin doesn't need 640k of memory. you know with amigaos you could run a graphical multitasking os, filemanager and several programs in 512k including graphics mem. 640k is really enormous for a simple program as edlin.
But what the IT industry really needs is another Syquest or Iomega to come along and define a storage-centric format -- without all the bullshit politics surrounding Hollywood and video game consoles, and the enormous license royalties involved.
I'm from sweden, and most of the DSL lines here are just 1mbit up. Even though they might be 24mbit down. So no wonder they are slow loading stuff from.
I myself have 24 down and 8 up through the cable tv for ~US$60/month./Erik

did you read the article?
For us in
the US when you speak of clean-room reverse engineering it means that
one person tears apart the implementation of a device, writes
documentation and another reads that documentation and implements.
Other countries do not require this invisible great wall of
development and allow the same person that disassembles the interface
to also write the replacement implementation.
If it's legal to do so in those countries, then it's legal to release it in them as well.

Why not just release it from a country with saner ip laws that allow reverse-enigineering made by a single person?/Erik
They promised to keep xfree86 in the stable "sarge" release, and that's what they did. The next release will have Xorg though. And everyone can run it right now, you don't have to wait. I'm running Xorg 6.9.0 on my debian box./Erik
But the intel compiler can't even compile Objective-C, can it? So they wouldn't be able to use that for more than a text-based benchmarking application. Not the entire OS./Erik
that's pretty easy to do on any distro. In Lilo yo type "linux init=/bin/sh". voila, booted straight up in a root shell. unless you have password protected your lilo.
It isn't toxic? From the page you linked: Symptoms include rapid respiration, muscular incoordination, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness, and death.
In addition, the GCC Steering Committee has promised Apple (Zem Laski) that we will get Objective-C++ into GCC 4.0. Therefore, GCC 4.0 will not be released without Objective-C++, unless something seems to have gone horribly awry. (Update) Things went horribly awry, so Objective-C++ has not made it into GCC 4.0.
the problem is a bug in firefox. it not caused by slashdots fucked up html code. you can get the same display bug on a fully valid html document. they have examples in the bugzilla. and it's already fixed in cvs.

and, btw. vim runs in 640k memory as well.
Speaking about PGP, do you know any webmails that support it?
(Except Hushmail which only has 2mb storage)
Windows and Mac OS also has decent accounting and desktop publishing programs, which is what's stopping us from using it at work.
At home I'm running Ubuntu 'dapper' though. Works nicely.
They already have: USB-drives.
I'd call gcc a GNU utility.

It says that you need a Windows Vista install DVD. So I don't think that's an instruction for running Windows XP.
php5 is in the official debian archives.
I've been downloading the mythtv packages from:

they did that ages ago in testing and unstable.

The most interesting new feature IMO is Objective-C++ support. Should make it a lot easier for the GNUstep folks to port over MacOSX software.

So there's definitely room for improvement in this new shell.
At least they changed it to something better in the last two episodes :)
Won't all new star trek series compete against reruns? They'll probably still have reruns of old Star Trek in a few years.

I'm hoping the break won't be too long. I'm not "saturated" with Star Trek

yup, and I'm waiting for linux 3.0.0 before I upgrade my kernel again :)
If you're scared of getting caught, why not encrypt it all?
