Bingo. NT interface is nice and consistent. Screen fonts are much better too. KDE is nice, but too many applications do not follow ANY reasonbable keyboard shortcut scheme.
Now: how to get multiple desktops in NT? With a pager. Then I would consider using it to log into our big Solaris box. Now boot KDE/Linux to get that 25 non overlapping windows I NEED...
... They should check other evidence before making broad statements like that. Most of of other evidence (like from supernova standard candles experiment) points to expanding universe. (omega less than 1)
Actually it is a good point. I do not drink or smoke, and I do not want my taxes to be used to provide MedicAid for people who do. If you want to kill yourself, you are cordially welcome to do so. Just do not use my tax money for a state sponsored funeral.
Furethermore, can you imagine how hard it would be to write code that would figure out how to simply contact big brother, let alone eavesdrop on something?
Most people would not buy PIII if this investigation proves foul play by U.S. So it should proceed. I would not trust U.S. government by default.
And yes, people ARE stupid. Most of them have no clue about such features and just look at flashy ads promising "internet experience" (what a crock). Goverments have responsibility to protect all of its citizens and businesses, not just well-informed ones, like you smartass..
...as of a few days ago I choked one of this machines for a while... Other guys in the lab where not very happy, but who cares... Efficient code? Who said efficient code?
All true, but what is not so real about Linux and FreeBSD? Seems to work just fine for me- and I am not a hobbyist... Sure, I would put Solaris or True64 on a large server, but that does not make them any more real. Appropriate tool for each job..
(b) If you have a special-purpose task, why are you using general-purpose hardware?
eer.. because it is what the bean counters agree to pay for? And at home my $2K self assembled box beats the crap out of $15K+ workstations of a few years old.. How's that bad?
From my knowledge, working in aerospace (both here and back in Russia), for many sattelites even finding them on the orbit is far from trivial. Most earth observing sats are highly maneurable, and it is not hard to make them stealthy as well.
But do they care that provoking Russia by scrapping missile defence treaty (what ever is the INTENT of the NMD - it is in violation) will effectively kill the START process, and will provoke Russia to develop more warheads with stealth capabilities, which would decrease US safety. Especially if such technology proliferates - and Russia will be happy to sell it to the highest bidder, if provoked like that...
In fact only Russia is left with nukes. Ukraine, Belorussia, Kazakhstan: all gave up what was on their territory. It is still more than enough to blew up the whole planet twice. Defence contractor just want more money. They do not give a damn about reality. I will bet that it would be MUCH cheaper and faster for Russia just to add stealth capacilities to its Topol-M boosters. Most experts agree. Most congressmen are bought by defence contractors..
... they offered an Athlon based model.. Our place buys Dells, I just upgraded my desktop, and had to settle for a Precision box... .. For me an extra 20% in FP on a desktop counts - not every small test run is offloadable to SPARC farm...
Good thing Dells run Linux perfectly... Though we still had to pay for that NT license..
Slashdot Mirror
What sort of a transcription is that? I barely undertood parts of it. It does not look like my native language...

But clueless journalists take one particular result, ignore the rest, and make loud claims. It is not science.

About an afternoon for a couple of good guys?

Bullshit,
What matters is if you have a viable idea. You can hire somebody to make it happen. Like myself.
... a faster chip for my PalmPilot?
Hm... It already does all I want from a "mobile computer"
I hoped for a super duper number cruncher for my desktop - faster then a eight-way-Alpha for $10.
... Overloaded?
...as of a few days ago I choked one of this machines for a while... Other guys in the lab where not very happy, but who cares...
Efficient code? Who said efficient code?
..would they fit Motif 2.1 into GPL?
Motif should die anyway...
Can one compile a distribution of Linux for Alpha (kernel, library, tools, KDE, etc.) using Digital ccc?

.. What prohibits them from loading their nuke on a small plane, borrowed from drug traffickers, and just fly in past all these fancy ABM sites.
Hundreds of small planes make it in every year. It even has not ot be an illegal flight.
The whole concept of this limited ABM strikes me as very stupid...
Then I'll explain you how easy it is
Please do.

That's why I do use Google, smart ass. Fucking fixed directories are useless - Lycos is a good example. So go and fuck youself, anonymous coward..
...so I do not care about Yahoo...
I was not clear - we have to pay, because we actually use it now and then - when stupid morons send documents in Word etc...
..the pain of British system - feet and miles - use metric, you will not doubt your numbers ...
Seriously though, I do not know about feet per head, but it certainly feels awfully crowded in California...

How the fuck was it offtopic, if it was answering the qeustion? Which is related to the topic of the article.
