Actually, I have never even checked 386BSD out; when I started on Linux it wasn't available (although Bill Jolitz' series on it in Dr. Dobbs' Journal had started and were interesting), and when 386BSD finally came out, Linux was already in a state where it was so usable that I never really thought about switching. If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never had happened.

Usually just called smiley.

"I doubt Linux will be here to stay, and maybe Hurd is the wave of the future (and maybe not), but at the very least it's an interesting project."

But there are really interesting shipwrecks, including some from WWII. Here's one example of a soviet sub near Stockholm: http://www.abc.se/~pa/uwa/s7.htm And a small selection of other misc wrecks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shipwrecks_in_the_Baltic_Sea

Even if the ship sinks after being rolled down the pier, as long as it's *in* the water, technically it's a successful launch.

The Vasa!

I would hope that Lloyd's denied the claim due to the fact that Cunard Lines had no insurable interest in the HMS Titanic. White Star Lines owned the ship. Hull and Machinery Insurance was paid by several Insurers who reinsured with Lloyds'.

The name Russia is based on the name Rus, which were the name the locals gave the vikings when they went in from the west. (I may be slightly wrong here). In finland, Sweden is called Routsi, which also gives you a clue...

Todays swedes are the the descendants of the less adventurous vikings mixed with some other european blood. (French, Dutch and German through history, all depending on the times gone by). Today there are additions from several other countries as well.

Well, that's one spammer down, maybe more will follow... >:->, or maybe Anticimex may be able to help?

This reminds me of another swedish warship which was said to be "a floating work of art and a weapon of war". It was called Vasa. Quoting the article: "...The Vasa sank within one nautical mile of the start of her maiden voyage in 1628 before she even left the Stockholm archipelago..."

Wood can stay preserved for thousands of years underwater. Take a look at this page which talks about the anaerobic deep water wrecks found in the black sea which was a large freshwater lake until a few thousand years ago. The flooding of that region is suspected to be the genesis of the biblical flood story (and of the Gilgamesh legend before it was co-opted by the Israelites) In particular look at the "mesolithic settlement" link where the same man that found the Titanic discovered a 7000 year old house which predates the epic flood and is very well preserved.

Ah hell, "Coherent version 3.2 operating system uses the 286 protected mode." I gave my copy of 3.2 away long ago, otherwise it'd be free for the asking.

There's still a little traffic on comp.os.cohoerent: Interesting thread.

Hmm. A bit more of a search around, and I found this.

Check out http://205.159.169.11/.

Farther afield, it's too bad that only this Swedish group seems to be doing much with the point-to-point 10Mbps link.

(Seem to remember reading a much nicer story, with pictures etc, but cannot find at the moment.

Please check out the definition of ad hominem fallacies. I think you will find that constructing a set of arguments with evidence based in fact about the matter at hand and then using those conclusions to draw inference as to the motivations of the debater in question and the value in further debate with that individual does not constitute a logical fallacy of the type you suggest.

On the other hand, the body of your post made a point, and if you re-read my posting you will find that you and I are in agreement. I was simply saying that before shipping a hardware product is not the time to go testing new business models in firmware distribution. Let them get the darn chip out the door and then chat them up about releasing the source. Of course it will be harmless for them to do so (they have patents on the hardware to take advantage of that source) and Linus will probably be quite happy that way, as he can start blurring the line between Linux and Crusoe by having the kernel modify the instruction set to suit its needs.... Could be fun. Obviously such an effort would require that the Linux kernel developers have a clear idea of how the Crusoe firmware works, and given the distributed nature of Linux development, releasing the source would be the best way to bootstrap this.

You see, I actually did think about what I was posting.

OB off-topic thought: can someone write an HCF instruction for this sucker? ;-)

Well, SAAB 39 *Gripen* (gryphon) or 'the most expensive plough in Sweden' Viggen (lightning) was the model before.

(btw 90000 was the Swedish emergency phone number and "dyr-grip" means "expensive thing")
