BeOS Max Edition v3.0 Released
JigSaw writes "After Be went down, 2-3 "distros" of BeOS 5 PE (the free version of BeOS) were created and continued making releases by literally tweaking the internals, patching the kernel etc. in order to bring BeOS up to speed with new hardware. Additionally, these distros include lots of third party software. BeOS Max Edition is the most popular of the bunch, and version v3.0 came out today. The BFS ISO installs in its own BFS partition, however it requires a bit of attention in the way you have to burn it."
Just Be!!!!!

Has anybody ever gotten CDRTools to work for Win2k or WinXP? I remember trying it out a few weeks ago and getting an instant bluescreen when I started it up. I was really hoping for a CD burner without all of the cruft found in the commercial packages (Nero is nice, but burns coasters on my machine, and Roxio suxio. Cdrtools and gcombust work perfectly under FreeBSD however)
I read the internet for the articles.
Wow, Oprah is ugly!
What is slashdot?
Is it a joke?
Wait isn't BeOS a SCO code derivative? isn't all the OS theory a SCO IP derivative?

I'm particularly fond of the file system in BeOS. When I was in school we had a sort of databased file system. Granted, this was back in the days of punch cards. It wasn't a database so much as a filing cabinet, but you could still find the card you wanted in the system!
AS LONG AS YOU NUMBERED THEM! HAHA! Old Thompson, he used to say you don't need to number your cards, just keep them in order. We all though he was crazy, but he never seemed to have problems inputting his programs. The one time he DID have problems though, haha, was when we conspired to trip him. YEP! Down he went, his cards were everywhere!
Later on after he failed to graduate, we didn't hear much from him. I guess it was hard to keep in touch what with his stay in the hospital. It was probably mean of us to trip him while he was carrying his final project.
He used to wear corduroys, always with that ZIP! ZIP! ZIP! sound as he walked briskly about the lab. These days they are as normal as the classic belt/suspender combination, but back then, he was a bit of a rebel. Few people were bold enough to wear pants like that. We just didn't have the fashion sense back then. Thompson sure did!

Dear avid reader,
As I get older (and somewhat wiser), I have realized that there is no point in finishing what I had originally thought to be my life's greatest work. I've decided that after giving birth to the brainchild known as TeX, there really wasn't much else I could do.
I'm far more interested in spending time with my wife, Jill and persuing something I've always wanted to try, bovine mandibular reconstructive surgery.
After I pass on, the collected notes and annotations that I had previously arranged for the new sections of TAoCP will be released by Penguin Press in softcover form, all proceeds going to the Society of Blind Linux Users (SBLU).
I apologize for wasting all your time with my extremely long, boring books that have no practical application to modern computing, may God have mercy on my soul.
Sincerely,
Donald E. Knuth, Esq.

It can be either BFS or ISO9660, but not both. Which one is it?
Exactly how long ago did this release come out? AFter booting off the cd, my usb keyboard and mouse won't work. The drivers library can't be that bad...

You are receiving this e-mail because at some point in the past year you
have expressed some credible interest in purchasing the be.com domain name.
At that time we indicated that we were seeking an amount within the
appraised range of U.S. $230,000.00 and U.S. $290,000.00. Because the
appraisal was performed at a peak period of the market and economy, it is
clear that Board should now be willing to consider offers below that range.
The competitive offers that have been made to date have fallen within the
U.S. $50,000.00 to U.S. $100,000.00 range. I am trying to determine if you
are still interested in purchasing the domain name and, if so, requesting
that you make a renewed bid at this time. I will take the highest bid back
to the Board of Directors for approval with the intent of finally accepting
that highest bid and completing the sale without taking the domain to a
public auction.
Let me know if you would like to make an offer under these new conditions.
