There actually are geek girls out there. There are girls out there that are geek friendly/tolerant.
I married the latter and she always said that she got all the stuff I was into when we got together. This means she is ok with all the computer/network stuff, motorcycles and guns. We got an apartment with an extra bedroom and put the computers in there. We put a futon and tv and made a cozy place for her to hang out.
This all worked great until my son was born 6 months ago. I had to build a new desk that holds my computers without looking like the Borg. I rearranged the living room so we could put the desk in the corner and I don't have much a workbench any more. I have the closet half full with stored computers, parts, etc. and am trying to whittle that space down too. We are looking around for a place that can accommodate my computers and kid(s).
I guess my advice is get a little bigger place than you really need and segment it to a degree that your "other" can live with.
While I agree with you about clock speeds. I still think a dual 1Ghz G4 would be a nice system. The pricetag is keeping me from buying one for now at least.
Hopefully 10.2 will make enough serious speed imporvements to make worth our while.
Sure I added OS X to the OSes I use but I still use several systems and several OSes on those systems. Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Irix and the various Windows are all great in different ways and I'd hate to better locked in to one OS or even one OS per architecture.
The parent of the post I replied to stated that it was a model with bluetooth so wireless would be free. The post I replied to said it would "only" be $70 to add a PCMCIA card. My response is that it is more like $70 plus $150. $220 wouldn't be a deal-breaker for most people but seems ridiculous to spend if you already had wireless built-in.
It seems that the iPAQ in question didn't have bluetooth so the cost would be very similar either way if he had to go wireless.
If you think that adding half the cost to an item is insignificant then I wouldn't want you doing any type of accounting for me.
There was a small town out in the panhandle of Nebraska that decided they needed good internet to keep all the young people from moving away. They setup DSLAMs out in the country to within a couple miles of every house in the county. They didn't have to fight phone company but they did have to run a lot of fiber.
Thank goodness. I didn't think I was going to be able to hold this webserver in my hand much longer. Good thing they didn't mention it on/. 3 years ago or it would have been pummelled into the ground too. Oh wait, they did.
It is easier than that to install OS X on an unsupported PowerMac. I used Xpostfacto to install 10.1 on my PowerMac 8600/300.
I thought OS X would totally crawl on it but I went ahead and tried for the perverse pleasure of saying I did it. It actually works decently if you aren't in a big hurry. I moved it to the side of my desk and it plays my music, chat and general webrowsing while I'm working on my main system. Probably wouldn't like it for my primary system.
Since they didn't get the notice, how long after it expired before it was available? I've seen expired domains sit for months sometimes but you never know.
I don't think he should feel too silly about it. No one person can grab the pipe to himself and make everyone suffer. This way 10 or 12 people would have to be going full-bore before it even starts to become an issue. We have to do a lot of traffic shaping here at work because the dorms have more bandwidth available than the connection.
Besides, knowing the next hop is 100Mbit won't make you feel too silly unless you get REALLY giddy about it.
I got Charter Pipeline as soon as it became available in my area (March 2001). I signed up for 500k/128k(only option at the time) for $39.99/month plus $10/month for cable modem lease. They came and installed and said I was going to get $10/month more because I didn't have cable. No big deal there. I'm supposed to get basic cable now. I turn the TV on and get expanded basic and HBO too.
Bill time. $10 plus tax = $12+change. Cool great. 3 months go by. still $12/month. I start calling them to see what is up because I don't want nailed with a big bill. They say past months won't be charged and they will get it straightened out. Time passes and I call a couple more times to check. They keep saying don't worry about it. Finally this march they send me my first bill for.........$29.99/month and the cable access fee too of course. Seems they are charging the current rate and modem lease is now included too. I still have all my channels too.
I was recently doing a net install of FreeBSD and noticed I was getting 80k/s and I was getting 20k/s over on another computer at the same time. I used to get 50k/s and 40k/s being more typical. A co-worker just signed up and said that there are speed options now and maybe even fixed IPs.
They used to have unfiltered ports and then code red was hitting pretty hard so I lost my webserver. After a while they open them back up for a bit but now they are closed again. I really miss the webserver.:(
I know this isn't a typical experience but it is mine.
I was kind of thinking about it the other way around. You can buy a nice Athlon a step or two from the top for $150 and $300 for a nice video card.
Pricewatch show right now I would get an Athlon XP 2000 and GF4 4600 and your way gets you a top of line P4 and GF3 TI 500. Either way is really a decent setup but I think my way would keep a semi-serious gamer playing the latest games for a little longer.
Of course I'm not such a serious gamer anymore and am currently running a dual head gf2mx400 because I need dual monitors worse than a hardcore gaming rig. MOHAA has made me think about upgrading and Unreal2 has pushed me over the line. I need to upgrade again. They are trying to suck me back in. Ahhhhhhh.......
There will be a version with an AGP port, but many users prefer 2 PCI ports over 1 PCI and 1 AGP. It all depends on what you intend to use it for, so in this case it isn't actually a problem. I am planning to use the version with AGP as a small LAN gaming box. If you don't want to do that, you are much better off with the 2 PCI slots for expansion. So if you are looking for an AGP port, you will just have to wait a little longer to get it, but it will be here.
Net and Free both use teams to control them. If someone gets pissed and leaves then life will go one for the rest. Several have left FreeBSD over the years and they keep moving forward.
If Theo decided that he was done or got fed up with all the other idiots out there(there's always idiots out there) then he could shut OpenBSD down tomorrow. Of course the source is all available and there are plenty of OpenBSD developers out there and maybe one or more would pick up the torch.
Theo still owns the copyright for the name and CD layout. The end result would be a fork of OpenBSD but how good would it be without Theo at the helm?
I love OpenBSD but *even* I realize that an OS is not a religion. They all have their respective areas for strengths and weaknesses. None are perfect and I think all 3 are very solid for their areas. I wouldn't pick OpenBSD for SMP or if I had a MIPS box but it sure would be a the top of the list for say bridging, firewall, routing, etc. and would be just fine for a single processor DHCP, webserver, AFS, etc.
It took longer to download it on a dual T1 than it did to install for me. I tried it for the first time right after the package was released. I kept wondering what all the complaining was about. It is a very easy thing to install now if you can remember an administrator password.
I do too but most normal Mac users don't though. I'm running OSX on a stock 8600/300 so I can have a development machine to play with. I guess I'm not in that normal crowd.:P
Elightenment has a lot more bloat then when it started. It's not as much of a lightweight anymore. It is still a lot lighter than some of the others out there.
You could try Blackbox if you want a nice fast lightweight window manager. You can try Fluxbox if you need tabs. It is a modified Blackbox.
I use all of the above and need to get KDE 3.0.1 on my main box to try out. Keep up the good work guys.
I was reading the comic 15-20 years ago from time to time. A little redundancy would be good for people like me. Let's me get back up to speed.
I knew several things that were going on in Ep2 but I still enjoyed that.
I had just reread LOTR before I saw the movie and I wish they had more of this kind of redundancy. You can only do so much with 3 hours. They would have had to cut stuff even if it was 8 hours.

Give me your fax number. I want to fax you a birthday card with some money in it. I'm thinking a few hundred.
A couple guys were waving at the camera when I checked it. They must realize someone is watching them. They might not know it is /.

But you have to get a $150 sleeve to plug it into an iPAQ.

You forgot SGI and they do more than server market. Of they make Macs look cheap.
Since they didn't get the notice, how long after it expired before it was available? I've seen expired domains sit for months sometimes but you never know.
I guess we agree then. Been a busy day. Maybe I shouldn't post today.

Now we have to deal with OpenBSD trolls too?

I'd be too scared of having my brain confiscated. It's real hard to fight it without a brain.
I knew several things that were going on in Ep2 but I still enjoyed that.
I had just reread LOTR before I saw the movie and I wish they had more of this kind of redundancy. You can only do so much with 3 hours. They would have had to cut stuff even if it was 8 hours.
Redundant can be a good thing.
I'll watch it a few more times to try to confirm it for you. Please send tickets.
