I've always liked their systems (tho the Saturn sucked). I just have to hope the Dreamcast sinks. I was looking into a job programming a game engine for Dreamcast, but didnt follow up the offer because have YOU ever done programming with DirectX and Direct3D?:P I want to see PSX2 kick the Dreamcast's ass because Microsoft cant be allowed to get away with crappy programming interfaces and embedding its crappy CE in a game consol, but those are more persoanl issues
still fux up CSS (cascading style sheets) in the same way as IE4...its cute but toooo flashy for me...only imported my IE bookmarks and not my NS4 bookmarks...oh well...it was cute to play with
well acshully stability doesnt seem to be too bad (hasnt taken a beating yet) but memory issues are goin to be just as bad or get worse as it approaches release. It could have debug stuff running on it (i'd have to care to find out). But its gonna be a ram hog in any event. Thing is apps (at least Office2K apps) start VERY fast after their first start (sets some settings etc). Its still evil tho;)
we have w2k server an "professional" (workstation) boxen running in the office. sux up about 64MB ram just running, no other apps running...they have yet to Get A Clue. I'll stick w/ Linux and BeOS, THAAANK youverymuch.
yeah this kinda stuff doesnt affect non-profit/not-for-profit orgs (even tho there are ad banners, i assume they are used for paying for bandwidth and upkeep etc). so anyone that helped out on/. for free is in it for their ego, not $$, and you might as well be working for the local homeless shelter or what have you
its KINDA been proven...would be cool if it was practical and extractable by modern meathods. Pulling energy from space-time...tres slick:) In 3001 Clarck observed that ~ one cup size volume of spacetime had enuff energy to boil all the oceans on the earth...or something like that...powwwerrrr
The BeOS partition editor was even easier:) And i see that Caldera used the BeOS idea of bundling a vers of PQMagic (PQMagic is usually non-free). We'll have to se what this new vers of linux is like:)
Yeah i seem to remember that the Mayan calander predicted the destruction of the worls or something simila, a couple or 3 decades into the next century (as stated several comments above)
There IS a place i was contemplating going to...its a real college, not like a DeVry-like thing:P its called Cogswell and for anyone in the Silicon Valley or wants to live here, and can afford it (4-year uni tuition costs:), you get a REAL degree, and learn lots of RELEVANT things. You take calc, and learn OOP and how to write compilers and technical writing. Its small but they have lots of good teachers there. There are many technical tracks to choose from, and you can get a degree faster. The only part you miss out on is the keg fests and weed-induced stupors, which i really dont care for ANYWAY:P www.cogswell.edu...check it out if ur interrested:)
I worked and went to school at the same time, as many students do, and I lived on my own. I worked 8 hours a day and went to school for about 5 a day. School just bored me, while work fascinated me. So, after a year of college, I quit (for now...will need a degree later is suppose) and have just worked since. My stress level has dropped a LOT, and I have more free time to spend time with my girlfriend and work on programming projects. Why do things that dont make you happy? Its stupid; life is too short.
I dunno if there was already a post to this, but has anyone acshully SEEN a pic of this iWannabe? I dont have time to check all 520,000 posts for a URL
most of the fun is hackin around and doin fun things to the system...at least it is for me. I know when i get a system installed and running smoothly, its not as much fun anymore. Windoze sux and is boring to me because (besides the numerous bugs and security issues) you cant DO anything with it. I guess hackin around in the comp is just the little boy in me havin fun. Linux is fun for that reason...you can do (virtually) anything to it:)
dont ever expect microsoft to do The Right Thing. If it is ever released, it will be some obscure highly restrictive license...i for one am not going to bother to wait...we should make linux better, maybe?
I would LOVE to go see this. Linus is a very witty and quick guy, who can argue against FUD very easily. I would love to see the FUD-slinging the M$ ppl try to throw at him, and watch him shoot it down before it even gets a chance to land. Should be cool...anyone gonna be there to report on it, etc?
