Rolsky used to think of Mason + mod_perl as providing the whole stack. He doesn't anymore. But he still works on Mason, and still uses it -- as a frontend to other frameworks. So you're absolutely right:)
SDL/GL is available on Wii Linux, but running a game under Wii Linux means mediocre performance and only running on "hacked" Wiis. Going the "official" route would require a much more thorough port of BBGL into Nintendo-approved bits. And lots of direct cooperation from Bit-Blot. And a few grand and some legal hassles.:)
Until a recent (late last year?) update you couldn't *do* anything useful with the SD card. You could put music or pictures on it, and you could put games on it if you didn't want to play them. Anything you actually wanted to run had to be moved back into main storage (moved, not copied, due to piracy paranoia), and then moved back when you were done with it (it couldn't just be quickly deleted because you had to move it the first time, due to piracy paranoia). So the existence of more than one app over 150MB would have completely crippled users' ability to enjoy the system.
Why they haven't changed the limits since then? Meh. Nintendo has never really made intelligent decisions.
Damn Small Linux and Tiny Core Linux being some of the obvious choices. Your real problem is getting things booted in the first place. I wonder whether gPXE is able to see your PCMCIA network card. If it did, you could just boot that off of a floppy and from there it would be a pretty simple task to netinstatll something; if not, well I'm pretty sure DSL has a set of floppies still. You could also try installing Slackware 9, which I think was the last version to ship a floppy set -- just install the very base system from there and then once you're booted you can try an in-place upgrade over the network.
When I lived in Northeast PA it was always the New York drivers that couldn't manage to take a curve at speed. I figure they're from the city and they don't comprehend any kind of curve except a 90-degree turn;)
120 is perhaps a bit crazy too. I've done 100 on I-80 in the past... let me tell you that a road gator or anything else in your lane and not moving comes up really fast at 100mph and your ability to maneuver is not at its maximum either. I think 90 is a practical max.
Because it's illegal. If you're in the left lane, and there's anyone behind you, and you could be in the right lane, then you're obligated to get the fuck over there whether you're doing the speed limit or not.
Lou Gehrig and the eponymous legionnaires are the rare exception.
Perhaps you've heard of Alois Alzheimer, Hans Asperger, Thomas Hodgkin, James Parkinson, or Georges Tourette. Then again, probably not. But you've most likely heard of Alzheimer's Disease, Asperger Syndrome, Hodgkin Disease (or at least non-Hodgkin Lymphoma), Parkinson's Disease, and Tourette Syndrome.
It's not that it doesn't work, it's just that if your GPS happens to be getting a time signal from that one particular satellite, the accuracy might be degraded.
Not even, since there are integral status/reliability bits in the GPS constellation download. The "faulty" satellite is marked as unusable (just as it has been since it was launched in March, because it's in testing), and will be ignored by receivers. There are more than sufficient other satellites to cover the sky, so... no problem.
Unicomp does not produce "vintage model M keyboards". They produce a line of keyboards that are quite similar, but the key action isn't exactly the same, and their M13-alike is totally wrong; the nub is bigger, and squishy, and doesn't move the same at all. Since Trackpoint is honestly much more important to me than "clicky" action, and since real M13s are super rare and expensive, I've moved on top non-clicky Trackpoint-II boards like the 3923 that are easier to find used.
The cards for my camera are in my camera bag. The cards for my other devices are in the devices themselves -- I can't fathom needing more than one card for anything that's not a camera.
Specifically I had one Debian machine crash, and 30 Debian machines, 5 Redhat machines, and various Linux workstations not crash. The machine that crashed has a lousy motherboard, and I see that Linux attempts to reset the CMOS clock following a leap second, so I wonder whether that was what took it out.
Slashdot Mirror
If 0.999... != 1, then there exists a number which is greater than 0.999... and less than 1. What is this number?
If I'm programming in Python, then I'm not programming in Perl.
Bullshit. If you only have room in your brain for one language, then you're a shit programmer and no one cares what you think. :)

Right where I put it. Also, there's no DRM on homemade recordings; that doesn't benefit major studios...
I barely got passed "486MHz CPU, 28 MB of RAM"
Who passed it to you?
Older than it needs to be. I ran Slackware 4 (just about contemporary with Redhat 6.0) on a laptop with lower specs than that, no problem.

I was hoping for a review of Churchill's memoirs.
Microsoft is the new Tupperware?
The one very, very far away from me, ideally. But making a turn is an obvious exception.

Ahem. "You can do it your own way -- if it's done just how I say."

Why would I need this? I already have a webkit browser with tabs on top.
Because you want one that doesn't suck.
Debian has supported it for a while now too (since 2007, at least) -- it's just that misleading summaries are mandatory on slashdot.

Okay, turns out the affected system was running 2.6.21 and the rest weren't. No mystery there. Glad it was only one oddball machine.
Here's a working link to the diff that fixed the bug, with description.
