Wherever dollars go, it's undeserved becuase netscape6 is a bad product. If the java engine is installed (as if anyone would want to have browser which doesn't speak java!?), there are javavm threads started, browser itself takes 32M of memory, approximately 14MB of those are shared, and, of course, the whole thing is excruciatingly slow. Version 6 does not find mail (I don't have it in the expected $HOME/Mail directory, because that's the first place where any mailer that I may want to test looks) and does not have an icon on the sidebar to start mailer. There is something wrong with the cookies mechanism because it has refused to remember my ATM card number for PC banking. Overall, it's an early beta. I'll wait for the AIX version. When AIX version arrives, v6
is going to be stable on linux as well. Alltogether, a disgusting product which can only be recommended to the marketing personnel.
In the announcement Red Hat is offering gcc 2.96,
glibc 2.2 and Acrobat Reader 5.0. All of those versions are slightly higher then the versions that we are used to. Is Red Hat abusing the fact that they are responsible for the GCC development? How come that they alone have those versions? There is something rotten in the state of Danemark..
First we need to make females to understand that internet is better then socializing (no dishwashing after an IRC session, no tantalizing make-up sessions before, no need to get new clothing) and then we need to make us, internet men of the 21st century look cool. May be a movie like Total Recall with Rick Moranis instead of Arnie Scwartzenegger would help?
I compiled the 2.2.10 kernel yesterday and it works without a glitch, despite the fact that I used gcc-2.9.5. I've only got few warnings like xxxx: variable 'result' might be used without being initialized, but everything else worked fine. On the other hand, I haven't included modules which I don't need (SMP, SCSI, Ethernet). Some of those still may blow up, but the fortunate majority (we with the cheap PCS) will never have to discover that.

With that type of encryption, Langley, VA would probably look like the bar from the "Star Wars" where "to be decrypted" people would hang out and have some innocent, harmless fun, like killing each other. That would establish one to one correspondence between killing the messenger and cancelling the message.
How many people would die if our cars were Unix based? I believe we would be reading titles like this:
A pile up on 101 north due to a glitch in in Linux/Dodge with CDE. Screen froze due to a color handling bug in dtwm, which in turn has rendered/dev/steeringwheel unusable. 15 have died in the accident. Relatives are collecting money to put a contract on RedHat CEO's head. The accident could have been avoided if the driver managed to type in "init 6" on time. Ford is pointing out that their car are much safer because Solaris/Ford is more mature and in case of a trouble, it's enough to press Stop-A on the car console and it will reboot itself on the fly.
My suggestion would be to make the use of UltraSPARC chips and Solaris 7 mandatory and to ban all other chips and operating systems. Welcome to the brave new world!
Does the alleged machine intelligence mean that we are going to get rid of Microsoft? Or will there be Windows BD (BrainDead) for intelligent machines which will significantly decrease their intelligence, so that "an average person" can use the machine?
