I had the 2.3.99preX series lock up when it hit the irq for my keyboard, every version of X. This freaked out dumpster-dive borg-box runs 2.2.x just fine. I'm afraid of 2.4 =[
"Well, one would reason that if a product is being actively used and bought by a companies customers, they're simply not going to drop development plans and support for it. They might sell the product to another company with more ambitious plans. They might release a new product that is intended to replace the previous one (like they're doing with InDesign and Pagemaker), but if they do that, they're likely to create a way to support the older files created by the soon to be dropped version, lest customers look elsewhere for a solution."
I was recently browsing the computer section at London Drugs (store in canada) and I saw 1. Windows NT4 2. MSDOS 6.22 3. Windows 3.11 4. Windows 95 ALL for sale on the shelf for large sums of money. Now go to microsoft's web site and try to get support for MSDOS6 or Windows 3.11 or 95, good luck. They have a hodge podge of 95 updates/fixes, but they are not categorized by release (win95, win95a, win95b osr2, win95c osr2.1, osr2.5....) which are all incompatible at the system level, and they are going to drop Windows NT4 in the very near future judging by thier MCSE decision. Care to estimate how many businesses are still using MSDOS and Windows 3.1x ? ALOT.
Now pity the support workers that have to deal with this shit.
What use is all this if you can't use it or implement it? Why did they bother printing this out?
What they document in this pdf is false! When the Samba team "reverse engineers" this into Samba 2.0.9 or whatever, Microsoft will sue their ass off, pointing out the poison code, and here's the kicker - its all bullshit. So now you have a Samba team in jail, and a version of Samba that still doesn't work with MS-CIFS !
Read the halloween documents again, and tell me I'm wrong.
Why doesn't AMD get thier Athlon chips going in SMP before they start castrating them and selling celeronized chips? I would rather see some SMP than low end crap.
Want to explain to me how the fuck you can get Windows 98 SE installed and running in 25 minutes? Between all the "scanning your system" and rebooting, there is no way it takes 25 minutes.
I've never been able to get more than 7 or 8 netscape windows open in X before it either a) locks up with blank content in the windows showing 99.9% cpu usage in top, or b) shitting its own pants and closing every netscape window. I'm not sure if more ram would help.
You should see the color of my face. It is so hard to hold your breath for this long, good thing I'm getting IV transfusions of oxygenated blood, or I would be dead.
I too have a TNT card and the glx acceleration in X-3.3.6, while being a noble job well done, isn't good enough. When a big gorilla (Microsoft) pays the company to NOT help the opensource community by releasing register level specs or a binary only high performance driver (like they said they would), it makes me want to go buy a Voodoo X or Matrox card. I repair, build, and upgrade PC's as a living, and I recommend Voodoo and Matrox to everyone, even if they are only going to use windows where the Nvidia chipsets shine, because I feel its immoral to support Nvidia in this situation, and because I can.
Or people who run WWW sites could PULL THIER HEADS OUT OF THIER ASS and stop using Microsoft Shitware as a server, when there are proven secure solutions that cost 100% less, such as OpenBSD.
I see stories like this, the NSA scandal, and reading bugtraq, and I just shake my head as to why these people use MS products and smile, feeling all warm and gooshy inside, when they pay enormous amounts of money for something that is proven not to work and is insecure. WTF is going on?
Windows 95 and 98's plug and play sucks donkey balls. When I installed my pirated copy of win2k to test it out, it actually detected everything correctly. You should go download win2k for free and see what it thinks of your rogue configuration.

1) Go to securityfocus.com.. go make dinner and watch a sitcom, this fucker takes forever to load up with its dancing refreshing ads. 2) Find the shit you actually want to look at and right click, Open frame in a new window. 3) Close original Netscape thus killing the three ring circus that is securityfocus.com, denying them the ability to spam your brain to death with thier useless drivel. Assuming that closing Netscape didn't cause Netscape to bus error and close all Netscape windows, you can read what you want in peace. This works well with the bugtraq archive.

I can't find patch-windows2000-2195.gz anywhere on the kernel.org site, care to post a link?

Your ISP harvests your browsing habits and sells them to any agency that wants it. This is nothing new.
try it with 8gb+ partitions encompassing the start of the hd. this is why redhat makes a /boot partition

Well spoken. Have you tried Star Office 5.1? Hi my name is Windows 95
You think they would have learned thier lesson, but nope, there is the good ol' start menu in 5.2, where's clippy?

Microsoft gave nvidia an advance payment to withold register level specs or even high performance binary xservers from the open source community.
And MicroSoft wonders why they are getting sued...

Try pissing directly on the cpu or in the power supply to really get some active cooling.

Thats why he is claiming asylum in the USA, to escape the RCMP sodomy-interrogation!

Don't you know that the fossil record is a hoax? Evolution is a sham! Just ask those scientologists like Bob Young.
I think I'll travel to Africa and set myself on fire for Jesus now.

Did you see her photo shoot in Stuff magazine, or was it Maxim... drool...
