>Robert Heinlein once wrote a morality tale about how an overly militaristic society can be a bad thing,
Actually, Heinlein thought this was a good thing. IIRC he wrote ST as a response to the US backing down on some cold war issue, I think he took out full page ads in news papers as well. "Liberty or Death" sort of attitude.
I always thought of the hollywood version as "Melrose Space" though:)
Actually, SAP allows you to split your server functions anyway. You can have DB on one machine and the various functional modules on different machines. Often the SD module (sales & dist) is on its own box due to the resources required.
I had Q2 with a TNT2 working under RH6.0, works fine, even at high resolutions. I can't really tell the difference between Win and Linux when playing. So long as you can get above 30 fps, what does it really matter ?
The only use NASA could have is getting people off the planet that hate the crowding. And not many of them either.
Figure out how many people are born every day, then figure how many spaceships/starships you would need to build and launch every day to simply keep the population stable.
One of Robert Heinlein's books (Expanded Univeses ?) covers this well.
As someone once pointed out, if we do nothing about population, then mother nature will, and she won't be nice about it !
That sounds far too simplistic. I would bet my bottom dollar that the simple tapping techniques you describe, could be detected using the appropriate equipment.
As to clicks, that would depend on how the tap was implemented.
At one point Bill Gates said that Linux would never have speech recognition. IBM made Via-Voice available.
After the Mindscape thingy the press report that Linux doesn't have a JFS. SGI provide XFS.
Looks to me like Linux is getting some very timely input from some of these large companies. And why not, they probably feel the same about MS as most Slashdotters do.
Australia 20:00 hrs, also very very slow. So slow in fact, my first thought was that it had been slashdotted
Re:SiS 6326 is another option...

Quake3 to go SMP

I just built a new machine. O/c celeron 300A(450), Abit Bh6 m/b. I bought an SiS 6326(AGP) as well. The Sis 6326 wouldn't work half the time, pulled it out, dropped in my old Viper V330 (PCI), now everything is fine.
Oh yeah, RH6.0.
On another note, My Fujitsu 6.4G drive (in same box) seems to need to warm up before it will work correctly. It was fine at 300Mhz, but screws up at 450. Anyone got any ideas ?
Whilst I understand the complaint RMS has, I find the whole thing silly. Even if he manages to get it officially named GNU/Linux (or whatever), I bet most people will still call it Linux. Attempting to force people to use language correctly (by your standards) will almost always result in failure.
For example, the word gay. People decided that gay means homosexual so now it does, regardless of whether I or anyone else disagrees.
I should point out that I have no problem with RMS getting credit, he does deserve it, but I think he is flogging a dead horse.
Slashdot Mirror
is sorehands dead or something
I miss the constant whining
Ztree Bold for Windows
Ytree or XTC for *nix
hmmm, MS has one scripting language, Linux has say 10.
Does that mean Linux is potentially 10 times more likely to suffer from this ?
Or is it that Linux users are ten times less naive,therefore ten times less likely ? ;-)
Pyrric:
IIRC Some bloke called Pyrrus after a battle that he won (with heavy losses) he remarked "Another Victory like that and we are lost"
Just after I decide go cable, sheez
But knowing Telstra, they will find some obscure reason to not provide it by August
Don't forget "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman, same time as Starship Troopers but more anti war.
I haven't seen Catch-22 the move but the book rates as one of the best I have ever read.

Nah, that was us
The AC is correct.
Mr Burns calls it Garbo.
Everybody else calls it Gabbo.

It was Benjamin Disreali who said that.

Yep, I guess it would.
:)
Teach me to rush things
Well actually, when I read all the posts here, most of the ACs seem to claim to be from MS.
Sorry to be a pedant but...
"twinkle twinkle little bat how i wonder where you're at up above the world you fly like a teapot in the sky"
Should be
"Twinkle twinkle little bat how I wonder what your at, Up above the world you fly, Like a teatray in the sky."
"Open Source"
:)
"Swine improvement"
Well, if you cast MS as the swine, I can see the connection
Why was this moderated down. It is interesting and almost on topic.
Moderators ?
Actually, apart from the NT knowledge, it looks like RMS would fit the description nicely. :)
It doesn't specify anything about liking MS

I think you are being too generic.
Well mate, you have now.
We don't have shrimps, we have prawns. We rarely bbq them, that was a US tv ad.
btw , "not once have I called or been called mate" sounds like BS to me, either that or you are deaf and dumb.
I dunno about that.
