    And how hard would it be to take that card, and make fake ones?

  2. This must never happen on Net Voting in California · · Score: 1

    If you are permitted to vote on the internet for your cantadate, then their is a GREAT possability for abuse of the system, besides that, how do you know a ip address is realy inside that state, you dont....

    The whole idea behind this is to allow THE SYSTEM to remain, and get BIGGER, which is what Americans do not want, exept for some jerks who currently hold presidentcy.

  3. What they realy need to do on Apple's iTools not just for Macs? · · Score: 0

    What they realy need to do is stop working on file sharing, and port quicktime to unix platforms, so we can watch quicktime4 movies, cuz xanim dosent cut it.

  8. Umm...... on Compaq: Alpha is Better Than IA-64 · · Score: 1

    ya know what, i puled out my first year latin book, and check up, i was wrong in the first place, but for the second processor (pentium pro), i techincly an right.

    Both The cardnal and hte Ordinal Number's root word is sex for six.

    And since this is like the name of something, it would be a Ordinal, it would be sextus, to bad sextus is indeclinable.

    BTW, hex is used in science (is it from greek?), so thats probaly where pent came from.

    Fifth in latin is Quintus.
    Sixth in latin is sextus

    btw, for you AC who called me Yuore ignurant.
    you can ii ad hade.

  9. Processor Names on Compaq: Alpha is Better Than IA-64 · · Score: 1

    I have no idea where they came up with itanium, but they got pentium from latin (the root word means fifth). Now, we all know why the pentium pro was called the pentium pro, because they din't want to call it sextium

  10. How Many File Systems .... on DVD CCA Applies for Restraining Order · · Score: 1

  11. XFree86 3.9.15 and modelines on Configuring Monitors in X · · Score: 1

    What I find most interresting, is that XFree86 3.9.x dosen't need modelines, thow you can have them. I had to create some modelines to get my 21 inch monitor to work, without them, it tried to use a slightly higher resolution than the configuration file told it to, and it looked all weird, but i finaly got it to work, after lots of battaling with it.

  12. XFree86 3.9.15 on SGI Release Iris 2.3 for Linux · · Score: 1

    Dude, A few months ago, I built 3.9.15, and it rocks, it has never crashed on me, like 3.3.x allways did. I have been able to leave 3.9.15 running for days, and somtimes weeks, and I come back to it still running, just as i left it, my only problem is it eats a little to much memory, and without playing with the config file, its a processor hog. Now, I think it would be cool if they were to also help out the XFree86 project, maybe make their XServer have a smaller memory foot print!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What is novell genna do now?
    this is a good question, my best guess is that they are genna open source their current stuff, and move into another area, to make money, or are they going to release some of their products under open source. This is very Interresting.

    Maybe Free 250 user sever for linux :)

  15. I'm Sorry, but... on Gore: White House May Get Involved in MS Settlement Talks · · Score: 1

    The White House has no place in talks, this is a matter for the court system, not the white house, they are just trying to stick their nose into an area where The Constitution grants them No Power.

    In other Words, The white house has no right to get invloved with any talks with MS. I wouldn't mind seeing MS broaken up, but the only reason the goverment is even going after MS, is because the Billions and Billions of dollors they have, because the goverment has realised, that they cannot continue to raise taxes. Perhaps if the Federal staff were reduced, and all the freebie programs started by this administration were taken away, they would not need to tax people so hevely.

    They are doing the same thing with other industries, Ciggeret Industry, Guns (under the title that we need to protect the children). The people of the United States needs to wake up, and see what their elected polotitions are doing. will somebody please take the razor blade away from the wrists of the country, IE, elect new people, who are for freedom, and lower taxes, and their party name starts with a R.

  16. No, your not genna get cancer on Old Fixed-Sync Monitors under Linux? · · Score: 1

    I have a 20 inch HP98785A monitor, with sync-on-green, its real nice, it dose 1024x768, and according to one of my friends, it came off of a HP Chemworks workstation, witch was a 68k device. He even offered me the box it's self, but I dint want it. I got a card that dose sync on green from Mirage . it cost me like 200 bucks, so i have this nice monitor on my desk, now about X.

    I did not have much trouble configuring XFree86 3.3.x, but XFree86 3.9.x was hell, it took me several hours to get it to work, because I had to write a modeline (not something i normaly do). The best thing I can say, start on a weekend!

    Now that I'm typing this, I'm wondering if that same friend that got me the monitor is ever genna get me a vaxstation or a decstation, like he said he would. Anyway, good luck.
