That was the worst bullshit I've ever seen. I mean... the least that could've been done is that it should have been labeled as humor (as many people have said), and it really shouldn't have made "News" at all. If that was news, then I suppose I should announce my VaporWare Pro v2.0 coming out in August '99. I mean, it's just as newsworthy as this, right?
Where I'm at, at least, local calls are unmetered no matter what service plan you're on through the phone company. In other words, it's low line rental & unmetered local calls no matter what. (It's probably the only thing I -like- about america... I don't like being associated with the rest of the genuine crap that goes on here... I think I'm likely to move up north to Canada eventually.)
hehe, Apple ProDOS? isn't that what we call the genuine single-user operating system? Eh, and I'll have to stop using the top of my system as a footrest.
Eh, and since when did this site become exclusively linux-only? Try IT'S NOT only linux. If you read the title of the page when you came in, it doesn't have a damn thing to do with linux. I believe it's more along the lines of 'News for nerds, stuff that matters.' If it doesn't matter to you then DON'T FUCKING READ IT!!!!! Thank you.
WinNT?</gag> eeeeeeeeew! thank you. and considering by reading all of the posts i've seen here, most of which are good, the amiga sounds like a pretty nice platform. Probably faster than my 486 running linux, that's for sure.
You can make a disk image that would be ext2 on top of the HFS filesystem. Saves you from all of the chances of filesystem corruption too (the HFS support in linux is still experimental).
HFS is awful as a Unix filesystem... large allocation blocks (Unix uses lots of little files as opposed to a few big ones in MacOS), no file permission information, short filenames... Hmmm... there is probably worse out there. The only feasible problem I see (besides for the large allocation blocks) is that an HFS filesystem tends to get corrupted when used under linux. But I guess if you don't mind folders vanishing from under your mouse, go ahead.:-)
actually pure distilled water (H20) is extremely nonconductive. it conducts so little electricity it requires a voltmeter that can read voltages in the range of 1x10^-9 v to even detect it.
2H20 -> H30+ + HO-
that's the only reason distilled water will conduct any electricity at all. maybe you're thinking tap water.
could you be more specific about 5.2 instability?
on
Red Hat 6.0 and Arm?

Hm. 5.2 instable? 5.0 was full of security holes (yes, I run 5.0), and 5.1 I never used. 5.2 is just a heavily patched 5.1 which is just a heavily patched 5.0, and since 5.0 is stable, I don't see how 5.2, even if slightly more instable, could be less then reliable.
Does it handle PHP3? Multiple server processes when netscape or IE hits the site? You know, you can run apache down to a single server, and it still starts more server processes to handle all of the incoming requests.
And, besides, I like being able to have the little "Powered by Apache" logo at the bottom of my page:o)
Hehehe, doesn't this show anything: 8:25am, up 5 days, 13:06, 9 users, load average: 0.36, 0.27, 0.19 (since the last time i accidentally unplugged my box:oP)
And nice ISP with the static IP's for $5/mo too:o)
Hmmm... I prefer my apache over most of the other webservers I've seen. It doesn't bug me that it sucks up 4 megs of ram or anything, and the fact that it spawns multiple instances is so that it is able to handle multiple requests at once. I often have 10 instances at once, but since they all share the same code (run multiple instances of the same program and the code gets reused, and the program gets a new data area), it's only taking memory for the data space it's using. And, having the extensibility is nice. PHP3 and SSL (even just for the hell of it) are things I'll eventually find a use for (I've already found one for php3), as is the responiveness of the server on a 56k line. And I like the fancy logging, I can easily find out who came, what page they went to, what page they came from (so I can track down those search engines) and what web browser they're running (did you know that StarOffice 5.0 has a Mozilla/3.0 HTML engine in it?) Personally I've only tried 4 web servers (3 of them on the Mac platform), and out of all of them I'd quickly jump on apache.
Hm, they could have just put together a simple stack of source that listens on port 80 and returns that header too. Wait for a GET request and return a temporarily moved response. Couldn't be too difficult to do. Although the queso evidence in some of the other replies has been quite convincing.
If I'm not mistaken, isn't Apache under a BSD style license? Which technically means that if you have the source code, you can change one line in it and give it a new name, sell it, etc, as long as you give credit to the original copyright owners. That's how they're incorporating BSD into OS X Server on the Mac, and that's why we have FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, BSDI, and probably other derivatives of BSD Lite that we don't know about yet.
Why of all things would one want to do that? Quake itself (Q1) has been ported to Linux (I have it, I should know), and Q2 should be there as well. That's like saying there aren't any Q2 gamers on Linux, or that we all want to run wine to play such things as Quake.
Hm, actually I've heard from people who have used winamp+wine under linux, it runs with less cpu load than do some of the linux mp3 players. (unfortunately i have no experience here because i don't listen to mp3's, no sound card)

c'mon...Mesa is a bunch of freeware crap, just like linux. Hm, so you're saying Linux is crap as well. That's about the worst insult of all kinds.:o\ If Linux were as bug-ridden as you make it sound then I would have trashed it already and went back to (eek!) <gag>microsoft</gag>.
I've never ever used an Apple product for the Macintosh that could ever even remotely be described as buggy. And, having used a mac myself for a few years, you notice the MacOS has it's bugs as well. Multitasking is OK, but could use a lot of work, because even in 64 megs of ram, Netscape (albeit probably a pretty buggy piece of software in and of itself) continued to barf on me and crash the whole system. If the multitasking were implemented properly, it wouldn't have brought the whole system behind it when it went bonkers.
Once Quake3 is out there, everyone in the world will see that Macs are the best gaming platform. I'll believe it when i see it. And, just because the Mac gets one more game doesn't make it the best gaming platform. It's like saying that Linux is the best server platform. I'm sorry, but I see better all the time, mainly in the *BSD area. Perhaps Apple will find something good with OS X server:o)
And bah! Damn thing sucked up all of my HTML tags, oh well.

If your only OS is linux, pretty soon every computer looks like a server. ehehe, you're probably right, i'm beginning to think that about my 486 at home anyway:o)
nickserv and all of the other *serv 'bots' don't exist on all IRC networks. For that matter, I've only seen them on dalnet, and when you've got 450 people in #chatzone at once, i can see why it might be neccessary. I don't see any *serv on efnet or undernet. So it's not necessarily true that IRC provides the same features as ICQ or AIM, even if you just sit on the server without joining a channel or anything.
Hm, and perhaps I should get offline at home once in a while... it's been online since i last restarted it, a little more than a week ago:o)

The Internet
oh, you mean the ARPA internet created back in the late 1970's, designed around large mainframes? m$ i think not.
The Mouse
the mouse was out before they had them for pc's. again, no m$ here.
The Web Browser
netscape? mosaic? i'd heard of them before i'd heard of explorer (er, exploder).
GUI
there were other gui's before WinDick (tm).
macos, and there was one before that, i don't remember what it was called.
Hypertext
here we go back to the internet.
Basic
perhaps... just perhaps...
TCP/IP
look up at the top. micro$oft's protocol is netbeui.
DOS
disk operating system? blecht. although i know there was something before it... cp/m wasn't it? or something like that...
so all WHAT that m$ has given us? stuff we already had?
