  1. Re:Better than Expected; Comparison w/ Movie on On The Dune Miniseries · · Score: 1

    Patrick Stewart was Halleck in Lynch's movie. I thought that was pretty good placement, altho I would have liked to see more of the bard Halleck. PS has a classic trained voice.

  2. Re:Dune on On The Dune Miniseries · · Score: 1

    "I remember seeing the movie with one of my friends when it was released. We left the theater laughing, though not bitterly disappointed. What was up with Paul & the Fremen riding the worms with "Queen" music in the background? "

    I believe TOTO did the music to the movie.

  7. Re:Buchanan's relative lives there on Statistics, Elections, Frustration · · Score: 1

    He also had something like 8,000 votes in the primary elections, and with the 2,000 he had there durning the regular election, it makes sence that some of his supporters from the primary voted for him on the 7th.

    Soyo makes a similar product

    I would feel a little better ordering this product because it's from Soyo. Were I work we use Soyo boards exclusive and have ordered over 300 of their prodcuts. Totally satisfied with their support and hardware.

  9. Re:Drunk Drivers for Bush and Cheney on The Full Nader Plus a Taste of Bush and Gore · · Score: 1

    What about Mr. Teddy Kennedy? He's actually killed a lady drunk driving and gets elected everytime he's up for election.

    Reminds me of the NRA bumpersticker I see around here sometimes.

    "My GUN has killed fewer people than Ted Kennedy's CAR."

  10. Re:Down that path again? on The Full Nader Plus a Taste of Bush and Gore · · Score: 1

    humm if I recall, Reagan had one of the largest percentage of the popular vote ever BOTH times he was elected to the Presidency. Hate him or not, Reagan was supported by the people in a way that Clinton/Gore would have loved.

  11. Re:Who is voting for Bush? on The Full Nader Plus a Taste of Bush and Gore · · Score: 1
    I'm voting for bush because I really would like someone in the Oval Office that didn't lie to the people about getting his jimmy sucked by some toothless intern (clinton) sell stays at the white house to the highest bidder (democatic party fundraisers) or raise money immorally, slide around saying there was "no convining (sic) authority" and then turn tail and base his campain on finance reform (Gore).

    I also don't believe that it's the government's place to tell me who should and who shouldn't get a tax cut. (Gore) If we can't have a flat percentage rate tax of everyone without tax shelters to get around paying money, then everyone should at least get the same percentage of thier money back.

    I just guess my parents raised me to think that I could do things for myself, instead of making me think that the government can and should provided everything I need. I've busted my ass to get a good paying job with medical, dental, optical, and RX coverage, and I'm sure if I could do it, then there's thousands out there who could too.

  14. Re:Good Luck indeed... on TurboLinux Files for IPO · · Score: 1

    *wack* you can pick up the RH7.0 cd from cheapbytes.com for like 4 bucks. or burn your own from iso, or install from ftp, http, or nfs site. but if you want to support RedHat and Open Source, it looks like you need to buy it. Just think of it this way, at least they provide you with updates and bug fixes that you don't have to buy. (win95 -> win98 comes to mind)

  15. Re:SPARC on Slackware For Sparc · · Score: 1

    well, I don't think linux on high end E stuff makes much sence at all, but what about on all those Sparc Station machines out there that don't support Solaris 8 but are still quite capable ftp or web server machines? Linux provides an up to date OS for these older machines and Slackware porting to Sparc only gives users more choices.

  16. Re:Argh! (i'm a pirate!) on New 3D Cards On Slower PCs · · Score: 1

    ack I've got the Creative Banshee AGP on my Celeron 433 w/ 256 megs of ram and the thing is a pig. With Voodoo3 cards so cheap, might as well go with one of those. Might as well use 1 year old hardware instead of 3 year old hardware. I'm just too cheap to replace mine as I only play games that need the wiz-bang 3d when I boot into Windows for Half Life TFC. (Twice in the last month.)

  17. Re:Gore is the choice for open computing on Politics With A Slice Of Lemon · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid that you might be wrong. To leave computing "open," I don't want government getting into anyone's face about computers, and that includes Microsoft. I don't like the way that Gore wants to meddle with the market like that, I'd rather government stayed out of the computing market all together.

  18. Re:What is the bill number and copy of it? on Federally Mandated Censorware Up For Vote · · Score: 1

    It's attached to a Seneate Appropreations bill, so that even if Mr President Clinton doesn't like the filtering rider, he may not veto the whole bill and the filtering rider will stay attached. There was quite a bit on this on NPR (National Public Radio) this morning and should be focused on durning All Things Considered tonight on NPR.

  21. Re:Annoyed, But Calm on Red Hat Linux 7 Infested With Bugs · · Score: 1

    I was under the assumption (I know.. assume ass u me) that a X.0 release stood for some sort of binary incompatiablility with the previous versions. The 2.4 libraries and the new gcc sure would make me think that there's going to be binary problems from one distribution to the other, but that's just me.

  22. Re:It isn't true. on Red Hat Abandons Sparc · · Score: 1

    right, but in the 6.x string the alpha and SPARC ports didn't show up until 6.1

  23. Re:It isn't true. on Red Hat Abandons Sparc · · Score: 3
    that's quite possible, but it doesn't say that there will be no support for SPARC in 7.1 or 7.2

    think back, 6.0 didn't have support for ALPHA or SPARC that came in 6.1

  24. Well, RedHat just lost this purchasing consumer on Red Hat Abandons Sparc · · Score: 1
    I administer internet services for a medium size community college, and when I took over from the previous admin, we had a hodge podge of sparc stations, x86 servers, and one Ultra e450 that was to take over for the sparcstations. The sparc stations had older version of SunOS and the x86 box had NT on it. My background was with Linux and I felt comfortable using Linux more than SunOS or Solaris2.6 (which was the newest at the time.) I did not feel comfortable using NT, nor did I wish to use Solaris for the x86, so I made the decision to use Linux on all these boxes, because that's what I was comfortable with.

    When I was picking which distro to use so that I didn't have different strains running around and have to keep up on two or more security release lists, the members of #debian on Efnet pointed to data that suggested that debian at the time didn't run well on the Ultra Sparc platform. I had used RedHat before and was, again, comfortable with that distribution and picked that to run on all my boxes. I've been a purchasing RedHat customer ever since.

    Now that RedHat has stop developement for the sparc platform, I have to go looking elsewhere for my distro to keep my systems up to date. As I use the same distro for all my servers, I have to look at moving all of my servers from RedHat to another distro to keep things managable, patch wise. I suppose that would extend to my home computers as well, and if I don't have the latest RedHat releases at home, it would exclude RedHat from the distros I recommend to my friends and members of the local LUG I attend because I won't be able to help them with RedHat's distro simply because I don't use it anymore.

    In a time when RedHat is trying to be all things to all people, it doesn't make business sence to stop supporting a well versed group, sparc users, most of which might very well be admins, that makes trusted recomendations to beginning users on which distro they should use.

    Mr.Phil

    I suppose I should remove my powered by redhat stickers and redhat bumper stickers now...
