It's essentially a CVS (or some diff implementation) so changes can be reverted easily. So far the biggest problem hasn't been trolling, but keeping the content (especially political stuff) as neutral as possible.
Honestly, I'd like to know how many of those IP addresses are UNUSED.
Almost all of them. Many individuals own class Cs from when they were handing them out in the early 90s. Wanna hear what's sick? DEC, Compaq, and HP all own(ed) class As. Now that HP owns all of it, that leaves them with 3 class As. Now it is possible that these organizations sell/lease these off, but they don't have too. How about 127.x.x.x? 16 million IPs for loopback. Bah.
In Canada and the US you pay for airtime and then extra for long distance calls. I have unlimited evenings and weekends and a 150 daytime minutes. if somebody calls me on the weekend or evening, it doesn't cost me extra, but if they call me on a weekday it either eats up my daytime minutes or costs me extra if i go over 150 minutes. This airtime counts for both incoming and outgoing calls.
If i don't have the time to spare, i shouldn't answer my phone. You get plans that serve you. It sucks, but it's not all that expensive.
aha, i spoke to soon. I checked out your website and see that you're from quebec. My apologies for that mess you're from. ALways a problem, the french, hopefully things will get better with the new government there.
You seem a little harsh, and I have a hard time believing you're canadian. I've never had any of the above mentioned problems, and neither did my friend when he got lukemia. I have never heard of this surgeon quota, and a quick google search didn't find me anything.
There are some problems, however. The salaries do need to go up for doctors and surgeons., as a lot (but certainly not all) do head to the US. Its not an astronomical number as you imply, though.
Most life threatening surgeries/treatments are done quickly, but its the non life threatening ones that are the bitch. Waiting lists for knee surgeries and the like are almost a year!
Also, there is a lot of fraud and abuse of the system, which costs a lot, and spending lately has not gone up proportionally to inflation and population growth. Private clinics/hospitals are not the answer here. More money and some internal competition is what is needed, and more money to doctors and less to management.
You're rant about how much you "hate it here" tells me that you're either not canadian or spent little time here or both. Either way, go back the the US, if you like it that much. But ask and you'll find 98% of us are very happy here, and we can get started on what's wrong with the USA.
By contrast, only a handful of SNES games (Super FX games, and Mega Man X 2 and X 3) have any processing hardware in the cart.
Most of the games that came out in the last 2 years of the SNES lifetime had procs in the carts, the FX chip is the most famous, but the most well done ones were the Donkey Kong Country games. It's still amazing they pulled those off on a 16 bit system, though they prolly had interesting processors in them. I wonder what the specs of them were and how much power a cartridge was allowed to draw...time to google!

This was also more affecting the greater Toronto area than just Toronto itself. It's safe to say that this was 26000 out of 4 or 5 million.
Every major company that has got in bed with M$ and based their business on NT offerings is either dead or dying: Intergraph, DEC
as well as Dell, IBM, HP...oh wait...
Seriously, I agree with your statement to companies with regards to companies that had very niche markets and tried to move away from them, but Dell is almost exclusivly MS, and HP and IBM are mostly mixed.
No, just portions of it that were added by IBM. In an earlier article i read that SCO thinks the only reason Linux matured so fast is because IBM took AIX code (which is based on code from the origional AT&T UNIX that SCO now owns) and added it to Linux. Meh, wouldn't surprise me either way, but i still see no PROOF that SCO IP is in there. "Probable" is not supposed to be good enough in court.
Because most electronics rarely fail if they don't initially after a couple of months. The only reasons that they would mostly fail for are reasons nullified by "fine print". Read the fine print of the extended warrenties after talking to one of those future shop criminals, the fact that they're such lying shitbags shows that they are trying to push something that the consumer doesn't need.
Yeah, but what price is worth "piece of mind". Added to the fact that most hardware allready has manufacturer's warrenty for at least a year sorta nullifies this. for cheaper you can just ship it to them for replacement, many will even refund shipping costs.
no, compaq sold alpha technology to intel, but they still had it for themselves and were still selling alphas. When HP bought compaq, they inherited the alpha line.
I totally agree with you. People are bitching way too much about repeat posts, lams ask/. Q's, story spelling, etc. When people say that/. has gont to hell in a handbasket, its not because of the editors or the system, its now become the users. By that I don't mean the trolls, either (they get modded down fast enough).
More and more of the comments are being filled up (and moderated up) with the same repetative...3. ??? 4. Profit like comments. Its getting harder and harder to enjoy slashdot. Its really a shame, but I am noticing myself participating in discussion threads a lot less. What we need is another slashdot-like site that you can only become a member of by invitation. Anybody would be able to read the stuff, but to post and participate, you'd need to be reffered to and generally be a non-bonehead. However, I don't see anything like that happening:-(
Its OpenBSD that has "taken so long". FreeBSD has had SMP for ages now, and until very recently it better scaled than linux's. Keep in mind that NetBSD and FreeBSD forked in the early ninties and both had different priorities. FreeBSD became a stable high performance platform. It only ran on x86 (now alpha, soon to be Ultrasparc and Itanium). They eventually added SMP with other various features.
NetBSD was more focused on portability. They were aimed at the embeded market (which Wasabi systems is in business in) where there isn't SMP. When Theo forked OpenBSD off of NetBSD they still didn't have it and it still wasn't a priority. Now there is more interest in it, especially now that SMP hardware is becoming so cheap.
Dynamic web servering, of course. OpenBSD is also widely used as a VPN. Whilst some of the crypto cards work great a second proc. can only help. Also, firewalls for very large networks may benefit.
And HBO only produces crap? Last I looked, the Sopranos, Band of Brothers, Dennis Miller Live, Taxicab Confessions, etc weren't all crap(though you may not like one or two of those, generally speaking there's somthing on HBO for everybody).
If we could pick and choose our channels precicely and they got a share of the profits, to get people to join on they would have to provide content worth watching.

Overall it's been very good, though!

the Admins have just subnetted those. MIT owns all of 18.X.X.X

They're not that high outside of quebec.

Ummmm, Dennis Ritchie is not dead.
The point is out, though. SCO could stiff seriously fuck IBM's day if things went horribly awry.
as well as Dell, IBM, HP...oh wait...
Seriously, I agree with your statement to companies with regards to companies that had very niche markets and tried to move away from them, but Dell is almost exclusivly MS, and HP and IBM are mostly mixed.
NetBSD has not had SMP for ages, in face just recently they committed some "real" SMP code. It is freeBSD that has had it for ages.

he never said GPLed software. It could be BSD licensed, but still, unless you pay to the MPEGLA, it's still illegal.

We hold meetings on the same day as TLUG, as to avoid many of the weenies.

But they didn't integrate it into the OS...you could remove it if you wanted...
