You must be in a flaming mood, but I'll pass. But, I will say, when there may be a variety of tools available to do a given job, it's likely the one best suited to your needs may not have been installed by default. So, if you want to know what packages might be useful to the task at hand, you're best off using a search tool that looks at the entire package base rather than one that just looks at what you have installed (e.g. apt-cache search vs. man -k). ___ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug

Sure, but I do 'man -k whatever' first, because if it's installed, then I don't care about installing it. There may also be pointers from the output of 'man -k' ... from default this is part of so-and-so OS stuff. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug

That looks cool. Let's build one. It should only take a few thousand dollars in hardware, and a whole lot of hours.

Re: [Eug-lug]Spirited Away
It looks like we're going to see the 7:15pm showing. Looks like we should meet then at the Bijou at about 7pm? Several of us are going to be coming from the EFN office, and we'll probably leave here at or around 6:30pm and walk over there or something like that. I hope to have a reasonably large crowd of geeks show up to see this thing. =) -- Joseph Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have chainsaw will travel Crow- who gives a shit about US law jim anyone living in the US. msg11946/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
[Eug-lug]No future in proprietary software
http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2127047,00.html Richard Stallman, the free-software nut who became a genius, is on a mission to completely reject proprietary software - and make it easy for others to reject it, too.

[Eug-lug]Noteworthy nerd humor...
Talking Frog -- A computer programmer happens across a frog in the road. The frog pipes up, I'm really a beautiful princess and if you kiss me, I'll hang out with you for a week. The programmer shrugs his shoulders and puts the frog in his pocket. A few minutes later, the frog says OK, OK, if you kiss me, I'll be your girlfriend for a week. The programmer nods and puts the frog back in his pocket. A few minutes later, Turn me back into a princess and I'll be your girlfriend for a whole year!. The programmer smiles and walks on. Finally, the frog says, What's wrong with you? I've promised lots of fun with a beautiful princess for a whole year and you won't even kiss a frog? I'm a programmer, he replies. I don't have time for girls But a talking frog is pretty neat. -- No microsoft products were used to produce this message.

Re: [Eug-lug]Big brother is a Motor Head!
Hmmm... well.. I hope your not making plans with that million bucks.. The rules state several instances that no award will be made. including an unspecified time limit. in otherwords, even if your not the first to cross the finishline, you still may not win. Its a pretty stiff challenge too.. consider how much money NASA has spent on the mars lander, and even its not completely autonomous(sp?) How about this design ideas One very long vehicle that streaches from LA to LV? a humongus sphere (large enough to roll over any obstacle/crevace that guides itself towards a homing beakon? Some how I think bobs estimate is a bit low... Just making a vehicle that can travel that much distance w/out refueling will be a task, and remeber its a race! On a side note... I have a 1985 Dodge Aries I was planning on selling cheap (just to get some cash) If anybody comes up with a really good idea requiring a 1985 Dodge Aries we could use it! (note Ideas must come before I sell it) Jamie On Thursday 05 December 2002 08:10 pm, Beaker (aka Jeff W) wrote: : http://www.darpa.mil/iao/ : : while checking out the above link I thought I'd see what was on the main : DARPA page and found this: : : http://www.darpa.mil/grandchallenge/index.htm : : The cash prize is a cool million (taxpayer?) dollars! : : ~beaker : : ___ : Eug-LUG mailing list : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug -- No microsoft products were used to produce this message.
