However.. I know several females (yes bonafide real live woman) who think Anime is cool...
Your conclusions are a little bit off base I think. Of course your a troll and im replying:-P
Anyhow I do think excessive time spent away from communicating on a friend-friend basis with other people tends to amke your social skills a little scary....
You guys make like this is some evil dark thing that someone other than MS has the source to windows.
it is *NOT* a big deal
You can go lic the windows source code for yourself, maybe not whistler but its not a big deal.. AT ALL.
WIndows source code is available for a price, and windows source code *IS* out there, and if you want to see the source code for a MS platform go grab the source to windows CE, it comes with the MSDN developer network subscription.
So.. in short you guys get over it, all these same jokes and asanine things floating around are irksome.
Oh please oh please stop this "why are you talking about the PS2 when people are starving in africa'
If I want to hear about starving people in Africa I will stop reading about Linux stories amd hell ill stop reading/. and find some place where I can read about it.
That is NOT the place for that kind of stuff and people moderating need to stop moderating this person.
I am american and that is my race and I fill that out ont he census and everything else.
I will NOT be classified, categorized or otherwise when at all possible. To you my skin color is not important. This is the internet one of the few places where skin color means NOTHING.
Let it go, African Americans are not persecuted any more. I hear all of this minorities talk well just so you know "caucasians are the minority in many places."
Dont believe me?
A friend we used to game with has a schoalrship because he is *gasp* white and a minority where he lives.
This is definately not needed here and I would apprecaite it if somewhere a group of intellectual people could just drop the fscking racism bit and let it die, that is the only way its going to go away.
Lets see.. I searched my logs for gdev.net (logged every host to it since inception) and.. Well lets just say altavista, google, and even lesser sites have hit my site, Ive seen nothing resembling a crawler and well lets just say they are conspicously absent from my weblogs.. period. Unless they hit it with a web client (seems unlikely....) (flitered out lynx, IE, netscape) and didnt see anything resembling a web crawler of theres.. I somehow seriously doubt their claims.. they are already missing one part of the net... no matter how small the *whole web* is always a false claim;-P
It never really fails to amaze me how many people totally miss sites like Lineo They make Embedix and several other cool versions of Linux such as realtime Linux.
I am a huge BSD fan myself but people almost always never even give Lineo a second glance. They did a whole lot of very cool things to get Linux embedded.
They use A reduced libc (greatly;), Ash for the shell
The kernel is tightened up and is much smaller.
It comes with two graphics drawing utilities that are all text based for doing any kind of graphics stuff.
For embedded apps I do not believe Lineo is as good as QNX this is absed on my limited experience with the capabilities of the two OS'
Oh oh gimme a break. Do you know how close the cars get to the wall in NASCAR? To you even have a freaking CLUE? Have you seen how some of them boys DRIVE?
Using caps because they are LITERALLY an inch and touching a good bit of the race. Do you know how close they hold the cars to the wall and how dangerous the whole thing is?
One jerk of the wheel to the right one falter and you eat wall and your flipping and you can be DEAD.
Id say the fear factor has nothing to do with it and its also called black flagging it would need to race in real conditions where if it is a naughty racer it is black flagged. How close? The cars freaking rub each other how much closer can it get. I can obviously tell due to your moderation that your average/. fan is NOT a race fan... stick to puters:)
I am of the opinon that people in such influential positions(Read:Slashdot) need to keep their political opinons to themselves... PERIOD.
Seems extreme yes?
Here is the deal.
How often have you heard Dan Quayle pipe up and say, *cough* ahem and I think Gore should win.
You never see anything that overt.. EVER.
Maybe through the expression of your personal opinons on ISSUES people can tell but I think/. has been waaay to overt with its ability to influence others.
Granted we all think for ourselves its moderately to highly offensive to see/. going there.
You know I can name some seriously high profile media people whom even talk and write books, but you never once hear them on public radio or what not outright state their political preference. They keep it clean and they discuss issues at length and by the end you can see where they lie, but at least they go to the trouble to explain their opinons. This causes people who think to do just that and think about what they are looking at.
Granted this is a huge discussion in and of itself, the stuff that makes it to the headlines is offensive.
Really I have been tempted to just turn of/. until the elections are over.
: Oh and please dont give me any of that I think im a martyr or I should just leave/. if I dont like it crap. I am just making an observation and stating my opinon and how it makes me feel, right or wrong its only MY opinon
That is true, but I just cant imagine if say every product demand was met by OSS that the market and capital floating around in MOST all companies would be there, I think overall it would weaken the entire IT market.
But anyways most programs are not shrink wrapped programs, they are custom (hacks) that people pay enourmous sums of money to have to make their business more effecient. I dont see anyone writing these highly granular (as far as the level of custmization goes) applications. I dont see people going up to clients and saying hey I can write this application for you for free ill slave away 40 hours a week just because I love it. It just doesnt happen thats why so many people still think Linux and this entire movement is laughable. Me too in some ways, I have seen and felt the power of it all but I think OSS is damn near full swing already..
Yeah.. im guilty of not documenting home projects..
At work we do a lot of documenting and user help files (work with editors *ugh*) But it pays off at the user level for their experience. It also pays off at the programming level for our coding ease..
Never mind that I make 60,000 dollars I am merely working for money that gives me food, puts a roof over my head and SUPPORTS my off the clock coding habits.
Oh but im "merely working for money" as if that pales in importance to tooling around with OSS software like its going to pay your bills and put food in your refrigerator.
Oh a few lucky folks get to work on the linux kernel or perl, but lets see peopl were asking for donations just so they could hire one of the most talented perl developers anywhere for 55K / year???
Wow as much as I love OSS I dont see where we are all going to live on salaries like I make right now.
(My opinon: Closed software does have a place, paying the bills.), Now you may wonder where the sentiment "OSS is just toys" comes from well this authors attitude really doesnt help its just a shade under zealotry even if thats not his main point.
I think mostly it is the fact that you have total control over "expression" where as with a picture in a blink of an eye you can miss the "humanity" and seriousness of the moment and it also takes a good photographer, whereas with models you can play with them and play with them and if you have a feel for the image you wish to create it comes to life:)
No.. im not that funny really.. well some of the time maybe.. i just take humor for what it is. And people tell me im smart but I dont feel that way., I wasnt even upset at the poster, I was just in a foul mood and that was the first thing that struck me as utterly pointless.. But I thank you for your actually thoughtful reply to my very rude and untidy post.
I think the point is you identify the file creator in there but you should be able to change that easly say from photoshop to gimp? anyways its easy enough to do.
Ooooh.... oww... stopit... your gonna make me cry...
Heh, Its *HUMOR* I can give a shit what you think but you have very obviosuly missed the point of me making fun of myself for other peoples amusement. I did that on purpose so insulting me about it is only going to make ME laugh which I did when I read this reply.
I get so tired of people who claim to be intellectual and they are really just afraid to smile or laugh about anything. Get a fucking grip. You people are the ones who make me sick. Learn to fucking laugh about something instead of be so damn critical. Youll live longer, and you may get a girlfriend some day.

Its not a LOT faster, in fact as soon as the connections and load get going MySQL performs like Linux and it chokes, PostgreSQL keeps on chugging.

*grin* Just maybe... :)..
Actually more than a couple women attend our LUG around here.. it is even rumored some use BSD..
*chuckle* I think Anime sucks (thats my opinon)

"the first 24 hours with it"
Next we will see on the front page. My first sexual experience with a PS2.
Yikes this thing has gotten more coverage than Patents lately
Jeremy
I have a PIII 500, 768MB of Ram PC100, running an Abit Mobo with a BX chipset... and I thought I was special.
No a G400Max doesnt tear through Quake framerates, and apparently my system is low end now a days.....
Fortunately for us processor speed has finally outstripped processor need (for the majority of applications).
Now its a matter of data transfer and the processor wasting cycles waiting.
So.. I wont be upgrading until something truly excites me.. 1.2Ghz processors do not.
Jeremy
There are already a good sized variety of closed source Linux applications...

p.s. dont lambast me for how unscientific or how much this does not prove.. i was just throwing it out ther efor fun

Oh wait you obviously have done that. OS X is actually pretty damn nice looking........
