everyone keeps talking about the linux killer being some new tech geek thing that nobody will even notice is there. i disagree. there will not be a linux killer. heres why:
linux is (out of the box) compiled for a 386. what other os can say that ?
i collect old 486's just to throw linux on there and throw up a quake server, or a web server, or whatever i want. itll handle it just fine. the same box would keel over if i even held a windows cd up to it.
the problem with a seamless "next big thing" is the internet. as long as there is a network, there has to be someone to admin it. a robust and configurable OS is an adminds best friend.
so unless someone invents a self-repairing internet that can run on a 386, make mine linux.

this is nowhere near offtopic, so i expect to be moderated down. but i couldnt help but post this:)
i was directed to a link on cnet about home networking, and i thought you guys would enjoy this paragraph: Finally, if you're fairly technical and want the most reliable and powerful operating system available, consider one of the free versions of Unix, such as FreeBSD or Linux. These sophisticated operating systems are to computer software what Shakespeare is to literature: rich, deep, and potent, but sometimes hard to fathom. Unix can coexist with Windows or DOS, so you can alternate between Unix and another operating system on the same machine.
also: If you have a 150-MHz or faster Pentium with at least 48MB of RAM (64MB is better), you might try Microsoft's Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. It's slower than Windows 95 and requires a more powerful machine

the article is/.ed so im going off of the story here.
it mentions increased brain activity. great. but what about their bodies ? im sure the brain runs fast as lightning, but what good is it if your body only runs at the speed of windows ?
i have a cable modem, and i use it to speed up alot o the work i do on the net. and i *do* do alot of work on the net. imconstantly downloading trial apps, ordering parts, and emailing customers. every now and again some script kid on irc will launch a./smurf against me.
what does the fbi do ? jack shit. who cares ? nobody.
so because im not a huge corporation, i dont get the same rights ? i dont matter ? if this were another packet flood against me, and i had followed the same steps yahoo had to inform the authorities, which news site would pick up on the story ? none.
i thought one of the big things about online sites was that you couldnt complain about loss of funds for downtime.. maybe im wrong.
oh well. once again the guys with the cash are getting the attention. the guys with the cash who know dick about security.
I'd throw up some website somewhere, with an invasive ActiveX control, and throw some porn on it. I'm sure I'd attract enough suckers run a DDoS attack.
interesting that the attacks started right about the same time that the java banner appeared on slashdor.
i guess slashdot didnt like the first time i clicked submit... so here it is again...
The diversity of actors who have appeared in Star Wars such as Pernilla August (Anakin's mother), Hugh Quarshie (Captain Panaka), Dhruv Chanchani (Kitster), and Kristina DaSilva (Rabe) were chosen for the talent they brought to their roles--not because they were Swedish, Ghanaian, Indian, or Brazilian.
i remember a story a while back about using macOS 9 as a kind of a smurf-style bcast (or something). is it possible that someone actully found a way to effectively use the nets collection of flovornamed computers as a *real* DoS tool ?
or if not, maybe there is some new ultra-ewreet DoS thats someone found and is now exploiting. its been a while since a new type of DoS has been implemented. smurf was the last breakthrough afaik.
or maybe bill gates finally went insane and got packet-happy
karma be damned, but would you mind doing one of these with a line like "Nastard LICKED MY WANG" or the like ? just once i wanna see my name in a troll post. hell you can even opensource me, petrify me, and pour hot grits down my pants. i dont care.
>Seriously, Slashdot would fit in nicely with those 3
the last thing i wanna see on tv is david duchovney doing cameos while pouring hot grits down natalie portmans pants while gillian anderson smears raisins on her chest and talks about don knotts.
most geeks i know arent getting laid, which tells me that nobody really cares about their gender OR sexuality.
this isnt a troll or flamebait, im being serious here.
i think we should worry about being accepted before we worry about accepting specific groups of people. besides, i have yet to see an article on how current opensource projects could use a native americans touch.
god damn submit buttons being default. pissing me off
anyways as i was trying to say, has anyone else noticed that just posting under this subject is guaranteed karma ? seems no matter how retarded or redundant, it gets moderated up.
what are your plans for after this is all over ? do you have any other projects you'd like to pursue ? do you plan to continue with the DeCSS project or are you in favor of just dumping it in hopes of never having to deal with it again after the pain(?) its caused you ?
it would be extremely unfortunate if the MAN could so easily discourage those with real talent
Slashdot Mirror
flamebait ? it was supposed to be funny.
nothing will ever replace QBasic in my heart. Its not the size of your compiler, its what you do with it. i used mine to reverse engineer windows.
macgeyver could have saved the world from certain destruction at the hands of an evil terrorist with it.
i didnt say linux would dominate forever, i just said it wasnt going away.
beg, borrow, steal, maim, and/or kill to see this if you have to. its quite possibly one of the greatest movies ever made. its comedy, its horror, its a love story about a man and his horse.

i was riveted. i was glued to my seat. i loved it. two naked and petrified thumbs up, that was great.
i think its ironic that this is finally ON-topic.

then again it IS fox
why would they want to do a spinoff ? i mean, X hasnt even reached 4.0 yet.
and how does fox have anything to do wi... oh.
nevermind

just my $2.00
how long until some terrorists decide to modify this and hijack a plane ? getting plastic toys through airport security would be no problem.
independant thought alarm
