Submission + - Wal-Mart's $200 Linux PC Sells Out (ecogeek.org)

hankmt writes: "About a week ago Wal-Mart began selling a $200 linux machine running on a 1.5 ghz Via C7 processor and 512 megs of RAM. While the specs are useless for vista, it works blazingly fast on Ubuntu with the Enlightenment Window Manager. The machine is now officially sold out of their online warehouses, and the product sales page at WalMart.com is full of glowing reviews from new and old linux users alike."

Journal Journal: RNC Protestors punished at cops will

This looks like the start of a new craze, or maybe its been going on for a long time? Arresting 100's of people and putting them through hell for over 24 hours (sometimes allot over 24 hours) to basically give them an on-the-spot jail term. and make an example out of them. This wasn't just arresting people for real reasons, an entire dirty warehouse was set-up (pier 57) for it, its not like they just sat there for 24 hours to get them o

Journal Journal: Vanunu Interview Smuggled Out 38

Oh I love to see governments squirm and get pissed off when theres nothing they can do about it. I was loosing hope for the BBC since Fame Academy 2 (when you copy a crap show like pop-idol but take out the best part thats what you get) but this was brilliant! they managed to get an interview with this guy and used an Israeli interviewer to get past the rule that he couldnt talk to foreign press! They got raided half way through and had tapes confiscated but still managed to smuggle the whole

Journal Journal: Ahhhhh final-year project ideas deadline!! 1

Im doing media technology (no its not media studies damn you!) and the deadline to come up with a final year project is looming (which means about 2 days) any ideas (apart from smell-o-vision) welcome, generally it can be either a hardware or software based one-year project which should have roughly something to do with media, video, image processing, audio or something like that. Software projects preferred (cheaper :P) should be reasonably interesting :P

Journal Journal: Mordechai Vanunu 10

Mordechai Vanunu is a traitor to the Israeli government, and probably a traitor to Israel itself. But to the rest of the world hes a hero. Now if he had revealed his secrets inside Israel it would be an internal affair, but he didnt, he left the country and was then taken back against his will. Now I dont know if the Italian government agreed to it - i.e extradited him, maybe they did? but if they didnt its most certainly kidnap. This man then spent the next 18 years in prision, most of that

Journal Journal: Can you electricute yourself with human power? 1

Since the recent black-outs in America, i just wondered if it would be possible to electrocute yourself using say a bicycle powered generator. This would prove vital if there were any executions scheduled during the blackout.

Of course if you had several generators and people to power them you could easily kill someone. Thats pretty boring though - im talking about one generator, one person, a self contained execution.

Why is this story such a big deal??
How many of you wolf-crying 'tards have ever paid a dime for your MP3 encoders? Fraunhofer has been charging a license fee for them since the very beginning, but I don't ever remember having inserted a quarter into the coin slot on my PC when I ran LAME.
Do you honestly think you're gonna start having to pay for your copy of XMMS? Of mpg123? Do you think the copies you have now are gonna quit working in a few days?
Stop acting like such irrational little 12-year-olds...

(It is flamebait for sure and I think it is Troll because it didn't take very long for Google to find out he was just being stupid.)

You might be right about FortKnox. I have not decided yet.

I took /dev/trash off the list.
