I have a bunch of those little Intel Bunny freaks. When one of my PeeCee boxes goes down, you grab the Intel dude by his legs, beat him against the desk and yell "Damn it Intel...Damn you striaght to Hell."
It gives my Macs more incentive to work harder without a crash.

Yea...you grin, bear it and tell them again. It's called being a professional.
You have drinks later and then bitch about the id10t.
I run Mac OS 9 at home, and I have a dual boot 95 and CalderaOpen Linux PeeCee. Oh I have another box running RedHat 5.2 also. At work I have OS 9 and a MacOS X Server running on an iMac C.
I'm not really sure what I want to use as a Server. OS X's installer is a dream, even compared to Caldera. I've tried YellowDog Linux PPC and it kept crashing and burning on my "Beige" G3. I'm really trying to decide if I want to slap all my time and effort into Linux, or do I want to work more with OS X Server and WebObjects?
I've horsed around with KDE and I'm not sure how much I like it compared to MacOS and OS X Server, theres just something lacking to me in the UI.
As for OS X Server, I really like it as a Server. I'd use it as a desktop OS, but I can't play my OpenGL games under it.
That attitude is whats wrong with alot of computer prefessionals and give us a bad name.
Now I'm a LINUX newbie, I've got a couple of boxes running RedHat, Caldera OpenLinux and YellowDog Linux PPC, but I'm no expert. I've read the manuals and the on-line documentation, but there is alot missing.
When I have a Windoze question, I can ask around and people are helpful. When I have a Macintosh question, I either know the answer or someone on support.apple.com will help me. But when I have a Linux question...all one gets is Read The Fletchin Manual. You know what alot of those manuals are wildly out of date. I bought a Caldera book just five monthes ago...guess what...the only Caldera book then covered 1.3...I'm running 2.3 it helps me not. So what good is RTFM when TFM is out of date?
Just the other night my ISP switched our IP numbers around, a couple of hours early. My RedHat 5.2 box hung and hung hard when I tried to fire up X...then on reboot SMB took 45 minutes to start because of the IP number problem. I didn't see that in any manual. I got lucky that someone at my ISP could walk me through using PICO to edit the config files so I could get my box back up.
If I'd have asked you, I would have just gotten burned.
Well during the First World War the Germans used Zeppelins to bomb England and France. Plus Blimps are pretty good platforms for spotting U-Boats.
Since the US had a monopoly on He. we doled it out to the English and French (whom also had Zeppelin programs - based off of German technology taken after the First World War) we decided to be bastards and not give the Nazis any.
Now...I saw a thing on Discovery Channel about some retired NASA propulsion engineers that went over the negatives of the Hindenberg disaster and decided that it was the fabric doping (some aluminum compound) that caused the fire. Not the Hydrogen, if it would have been a Hydrogen induced fire the first flames would have been clear.
I'm sure someone else can shed more light on this.
Compaqs are coming with IEE 1394 ports. Don't forget the iLink ports on all those Sony PCs.
Dvorak is dogging Firewire because Intel is pushing that USB 2.0, and we all know that big D doesn't want to torque off Chipzilla.
Now that we are talking about Firewire, I want to remind everyone that Linus said about the same thing a few monthes back. I don't want to get flamed, but that seems like a bad case of Not Intented Here. Linux needs to lead the way and jump on the IEE 1394 bandwagon.
Firewire Hard Drives...like the VSTs are simply dreamy.
lamz is right, Dvorak needs to give credit where it's due. The iMac is the machine that gave USB life. It was a dead technology until August of 1998.
I used to live on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
Back there, there are only PO Boxes. Try to order any thing UPS or FedEx with a PO Box Number. They won't do it. It's gotten even worse in the last 15 years since things went computerized at catalog retailers. Now the UPS man has to drive in from Mobridge SD...90 miles away and he knows how to get to my house.
So you have to give the people on the phone directions to your house, and even this takes some doing, because they will only deliver to street addresses.
Of course once it makes it to UPS in Mobridge, the UPs dude knows exactly where to take it.
Now the USPS...you never have a problem with them.
What difference is there between making life and making elements through nuclear bombardment?
To me there is no difference in this, than say, spliting the atom or making a species become extinct. I don't recall hearing of scientists consulting religous leaders when they built the bomb, or made the passenger pigeon extinct, why should they now? You can't tell me that any religous leader has the wisdom or knowledge to know if this is right or wrong.
Man has been playing god for decades, this is no different.

I'll take uga.edu to be Georgia...If you were out here on the west coast, Fry's seems to have all the Loki games in the Linux/Be section of the store.
At least they do at the Wilsonville OR store. It's at the front of the software section, right where Macintosh stuff was before Apple got off lifesupport and started walking around again.

Take a look at that bad boy.

I have been asking myself the same question.

Isin't there something in the Bible about people appolgising on /. after flaming eachother...and after makine Apple related comments?
I think it's the sign of the 2nd seal being broken, the 3rd seal is people not flaming eachother in a KDE vs Gnome debate.
Note - I've got that danged Sydney Flu real bad...am on inhalers and vikadan cough syrup, please moderate this down to...oh a -6
They've been using Hitchcock for a while, I've had a Think Different poster with him on it...for two years now.
Theres no sense getting all pissed at Apple, get pissed at the families that sell the likeness to Apple to use.
Do you, or have you ever used Linux?
If so what distro of Linux have you used?
That attitude is whats wrong with alot of computer prefessionals and give us a bad name.

My thoughts exactly.
Thats why I headed down to the local gun show and bought me a Mossberg 590 shotgun. 8+1 rounds mean fun in the streets for me.
Me and old Mossy are going to party like it's 1999.
Some how I don't think my HP DeskWriter is all that areodynamic.
I think it was static electricity.
He didn't build the plant. It was given to him by the US Government after WW2. They did that to a lot of people.
From what I know of the story it was vast Auto Industry consperacy to keep him down.
The only Tu-144 flying today is sponsered by NASA.
Thats what that NASA page is about. All the other Tu-144s are no longer flying.
http://www.bird.ch/Russians/Tu144/TU144P02.html
"Status - Several aircraft preserved, one aircraft used as testbed."
If I remeber right...they were used in the late 70s-early 80s on one route in Russia. Moscow to Omsk or Rostov I think.
I have a photo here in Volume 13 of World Airpower Journal of three Tu-144s sitting at Zhukhovsky in the grass.
Name me a war in the last 500 years that wasn't fought for "purely political reasons."
Maybe that one about the beards...other than that one then.
How about the Davy Crocket?
A 155mm or 120mm recoiless rocket with a 20 to 250 ton warhead. They were either tripod or jeep mounted. They had a tested range of 1.77 miles.
They were removed from service because the Army didn't want to trust a nuke to a mear Sargent.
That and it's a real bad idea to have a nuke that only fires 1.77 miles.
There was an hour long thing on the History Channel about this.
They did know about harmonics at the time. It was a real FUBAR by the engineers that designed the bridge.
Well during the First World War the Germans used Zeppelins to bomb England and France. Plus Blimps are pretty good platforms for spotting U-Boats.

Time Magazine is owned by Time-Warner, the same company that owns CNN.
Apple is owned by Apple Computers Inc. Steve Jobs has way closer ties to Disney through Pixar than he does Time-Warner.

You can...or could here in the US.
My Grandmother has the book of the 5 digit Zip codes for the entire US.
It's only for cities/towns though...no street addys.
The US is a wee big bigger than Hungary
Damn.
Thats one hardy little critter. They better keep that bugger in the lab. It could be the bug that took us all out.
What is wrong with this?
