Has anyone noticed that RHEL 5, as Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, are shipping Firefox 3?
Not that Firefox 3 isn't working for me, I use it everyday but I just find it interesting that Redhat puts it on RHEL which I thought it was like Debian/stable.

oh my ... the fine line between personal opinion and flamefest is getting very thin i own and use a mac on daily basis as a desktop and i'm also a big fan of openbsd for it's simplicity and "it just works" as unix like. they seem to match my thinking. when you're in somewhere for sometime the bad an...

why not "rsync --delete" every night?
it can even archive the deleted files, iirc.
one package, one script, less fiddling

I just have finished seeing this documentary, which for those you don't know is "An in-depth look at the torture practices of the United States in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, focusing on an innocent taxi driver in Afghanistan who was tortured and killed in 2002." It goes beyond just this t...

Well, I personally love the fact that the NES machines that I own still work, 15, or so, years after production. I don't like spending money on something that doesn't last, doing that is wasting your money, but that's just me. So I'll just buy a couple of them from you then :-P Now seriously I'll g...

My brothers Halo edition Xbox 360 that he purchased last August just failed on him earlier this week. He loves Halo and Halo is pretty m...

Guess everybody agrees that the Wii is more "family friendly".

Dann: do you still think about getting a Xbox?

I've bought a Wii almost a year ago and even bought Zelda but I'm really thinking of trading it for a Xbox 360. As for games I would have more titles to choose from. I would love to have Forza or Burnout and stuff like that. Also I can get it "media center" stuff from it . I bought the Wii because i...

I have never heard of this happening but theoretically it is possible. The problem, though, is that Linux apps are under such scrutiny that it would not take long if something like this got out in the wild to be tracked down. Furthermore, due to the nature of the community such a person providing s...

I was running Fedora 8 on one of my machines when this latest local root exploit came out and I decided to try it out. Sure enough it worked as advertised. I tried another variation and that worked too. So I was thinking if somebody out there started to distribute copies of a program using the explo...

Oh no, I absolutely do not see Linus as a martyr. In fact I don't think Linus thinks too deeply or puts much stress on the "free" aspect of Linux and what having it licensed under the GPL really has meant to the project and to the community. I'm sure he thinks it's been a good thing, but it's hardl...

greggh:
It seems you see him as martyr, which by the way he never said he was.
He's in it for fun. Have you read his book?
