Why not put 'em on Freenet while you're at it ... Imran Ghory writes: "Google has put out an appeal to get NetNews CDs (produced by Sterling Software and CD Publishing Corporation) which archived usenet between 1992 to 1995. Looks like Google is reviving Deja's idea of a total usenet archive."
This sounds like a worthy objective, worth rooting around for -- maybe they'll even give you a credit somewhere.
They know that of which they speak. Hot on the heels of the inexorable GCC project's 3.0.1 release, zealot (and a number of other people) wrote with the news that "Intel will release its latest compilers (the ones that optimize for P4 and can do some auto-vectorization of code) for Linux this Thursday. I'd love to see some performance numbers for compiled code on a P4 if anyone gets their hands on this ... maybe the autovectorization could help some gimp plugins speed up."
You cannot stop the chess updates Álvaro Begué writes: "Junior is the new World Micro Computer Chess Champion, Shredder won in the single processor category (five years in a row) and Goliath won the blitz tournament. Congratulations to all of them. Check out the official website."
Maybe the durned things will stick around forever. In addition to the IBM research on making ultra-slim CRT monitors, an Anonymous Coward points to another article on the future of CRTs: "This is a new technology that can integrate into existing production lines and can halve the depth of a CRT type tube. A TV normally 22 inches deep would be only 11 inches."

Company says cash usage exceeding net loss
FREMONT, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- VA Linux Systems said Thursday its quarterly loss soared as the application software provider's revenues plunged.
The company reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $290.1 million, or $5.58 a share, compared with a loss of $47.5 million, or $1.15 a share, in the same quarter a year ago. Its results included $267 million of noncash charges related primarily to the company's exit from the systems hardware business, the company said.
Revenue totaled $16 million, compared with $50.7 million in the year-ago quarter.
VA Linux of Fremont, Calif., said it has $83 million of cash and marketable securities.
In its latest fiscal year, the company has seen its stock fall from its 52-week high of $63.63. Ahead of the earnings report, the stock traded down 13 cents, or 7 percent, to close at $1.73.
In late June, VA Linux announced it was getting out of the hardware business and cutting 153 employees, or 35 percent of its work force. At the time, the company said it would lose a "significant majority" of its revenue, but would experience large reductions in operating expenses and cash needs.
Under its new operating model, which focuses its SourceForge application software business, VA Linux said it expects revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to fall within a $3 million to $4 million range, excluding August hardware shipments. Also expected during the first quarter is a net loss from operations of $10 million to $13 million, the company said.
During the quarter, cash usage is expected to exceed the net loss by about $6 million due to restructuring payments, VA Linux said.
"We have made a significant transition over the past two months," Chief Executive Larry M. Augustin said in a statement. "We are now focused on delivering our software expertise through our new application software strategy, with our SourceForge product at its core. Our reduced levels of operating expense and cash use will provide stability as we further develop and improve SourceForge."
Troll? That's funny!
Hey asshole,
Please feel free to list the countries where this type of activity isn't illegal. The US economy is pretty stagnant, and we're gonna be looking for a good place to start a war soon.

I am really horny, but yesterday I was fucking my girl for like 45 minutes and I couldn't cum... Eventually she used her tounge & hand to finish things off...
But I'm concerned, usually I cum in her after like 10-15 minutes...
What is up?
Fake story? Yeah sure. Everyone knows with Linux you can't lose money.
It's also horribly offtopic.
btw, all the
"shop smart:shop s-mart" ash
The jews probably stole all their money. You know how they are.
BAAAAAAA
Enough said
You've all been given AMPLE WARNING. Now you're gonna get it.
Hey, you're that jackass that has their stupidity pasted in the Going Postal section at Attrition, aren't you? Wow, a celebrity!
You've all been given AMPLE WARNING. Now you're gonna get it.
How come we haven't seen quickies in a long time?
I just heard sad news on talk radio -Horror/fiction writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine house this morning. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't read his books you've probably enjoyed one of his movies. Truly an American icon.
In a (last gasper) move to horde the few eyeballs they have left, the editorial/managerial/gopher/bot, mikey hall, over at LinuxToday(tm) has banished the editorial staff of ScaredCity from posting comments with references to "other" (than internet.con) websites (we say references, because they don't allow real links at all). We bulleave that LinuxToday is adopting the corepirate mentality of the guise pictured on this soon_to_be renovated site, which buy the weigh, internet.con, offered (a piddling sum) to buy recently. anyhow, fauxking BiG heads they MuSt have. ucann smell the fear.

No sorry I can't help you.
If you have the Dee & Desi collection feel free to post it as I've been looking for it for some time.
I usually have a bit of trouble with your mother as well and I usually just apply some lube and try to get that vision of her puss-filled hole masked by imagining Natalie Portman underneath me. Only if that fails do I go the mouth/hand route.
Give it a shot and hang in there...

I don't know who'd be afraid of a whining pathetic faggot without the guts to log in and put his name to his threats. Nothing you say is worth shit until you show some fucken backbone of your own. Name and address would be a good start, since you're such a tough guy.
blow it out yer ass

I can't believe someone was stupid enough to write that. Mod that up, +1 Funny. An AC whining about anonymous posters, who'd have thought

Its all over boys. Tomorrow the stock will go under a buck.
Jews kill towelheads, towelheads kill jews... it's a win-win situation!
I've been herding jews into my basement gas chamber since early morning, I'm a little tired. But I cannot let fatigue stop me from fighting against the global zionist threat!

sorry about scurving mr hall. we're spoiled. &, i'd like to say about mr tahko, even though he's dissed us, & he's working for some guise whoare in BiG trouble, we admire his determination to NOT censor posts (which, admittedly takes guts, as some of us must be hard to resist deleting), & allow a FREE flow of info in his forums. God bless him for that. he has cetainly been trialed by fire. the people who should be the most concerned about being Mi$led on some payper liesense trial, have mostly never heard of linus, or slashdot, the good gnus, etc... yet. you should be reading this NYT forum, so you can help debunk the most whoreabull of fud, the infactdead buy M$ ?pr? whore forum virus, AKA Billys'Bugs(tm)
I didnt start this he did - i could make up a name but why fucking bother - the challenge was thrown down for this pathetic turd - i dont need to give you my details he does.
he dealt it with his remarks on here for weeks before this - im one pissed off jew whos sick of these turds (and you can include yourself in that BTW) taking over a site which is about tech and science - where does it say racist cocksuckers welcome here
So NO - YOU FUCK OFF
Okay, I just have to ask...why Ralph Nader?
Glad you got the joke. Pity you had to post about it. Partial credit for you.
Since you've begun this misguided pogrom of yours, you have provided me and hundreds of others with literally tens of minutes of entertainment. Don't ever change.
I know all you linux users will be disapointed
