You talking about the server or a particular client?
There are dozens of clients for you to check out if you don't like a particular one. Trillian is great if you are on Windows but what are you going to do on any other platform?
I've played a few PS1 games on a PS2 but the graphics just seem bad after playing a PS2 game. There are enough good looking PS2 games to make me forget the older games. GT2, VF4, MGS2, etc.
Just watch the release page. They will get the binaries out if you give them a little time. They release Linux, Win32 and Mac right away and volunteers build the rest.
I'm building a release for Commodore 128 right now. I'll have a fresh M18 milestone release soon. That was long build time. I'll go get some coffee now and see if this is funny still.
I've seen some of Theo's responses to the SMP questions and he seems a little indifferent about it. He seems to think it is a good idea but doesn't see it as big of a need as other things. There are some OpenBSD developers working on it for x86, alpha, sparc and ppc if I recall correctly.
Most users of OpenBSD use it for firewalling and such. No need for SMP there.
While this is generally true, not everyone's firewall is connected to DSL/Cable connection (mine is though). Dynamic rulesets, VPN, IPSEC and a host of other options can get real CPU intensive and SMP could be helpful in those situations. I've also seen some articles about OpenBSD video render farms. You really have to impressed with OpenBSD to lock into single CPU render farms or have some floor space to spare.
I agree that NTish OSes would make things better for security. The problem is politics because every instructor gets to set the policies for their lab(s). They are all over the board with what they want. A lot of the deans don't want to put restrictions on the computers. They just don't listen to all the great reasons why this is the best thing for everyone.
The call was made this week to start migrating to XP pro (shudder). If you want Windows then you will get XP unless you have very specific reasons not to. The instructors have almost unanimously demanded XP with a few wanting Linux too. The optional Windows is going to be Win2k so that is at least better.
We've been installing a good hardware product that does that too. Then comes in the budget and political issues. Some people can't make decisions that might possibly rock the boat even if it is the best thing. There have been some state cutbacks in funding so the progress has been slowed for this project.
The hardware solution makes the hard drive read-only and redirects all writing to a temp partition that gets cleared every reboot. The problem is that the students will download stuff until they run out of the temp space and will leave the system in a worse shape. They won't reboot it because they don't want to lose all their chat programs, music, etc. The next student comes along and doesn't know to reboot it to get it back to normal. If there was some action for all the violations of policy, then we would see some improvement but until that time......
I support several computer labs at a community college and kids constantly install these unathorized programs in the labs. The computers have some much crap on them that they have to be reimaged routinely. These media arts computers are so overloaded with Photoshop, QuarkXpress, Freehand, etc. that they are touchy anyway. Now add yahoo! messenger, msn messenger, song spy, audio galaxy, etc plus all the spyware crap to every machine. I did convince the powers that be that general labs should be linux or dual boot.
Then maybe you would like Mandrake 8.2 or better yet Windows 2000. Somebody should invent Linux Infinity. Of course the sequel would be Linux Infinity+1.0.
YDL is a little behind Redhat releases so it isn't up to latest and greatest by any means. YDL 2.1 was based on Redhat 7.0 base which had its fair share of teething. YDL 2.2 is based on Redhat 7.2 which is a fairly solid release. Redhat 7.3 is basically here now so YDL 2.2 isn't so shiny and new. This could be a good thing if consider that Redhat 7.2 is fairly well tested at this point so you should be fairly aware of what you are getting into.
Mandrake is getting 8.2 ppc ready to roll out a little after the x86 8.2 release so that will be a little more cutting edge if you are looking for that. Mandrake is focusing their resources on New World machines so Old World support might not all you hope for.
I'd have to agree with this. I have YDL 2.1 on a 8600 and it is identical to most other linux installs on x86. Just have it in a little bit cooler case.
I don't believe that one. It's the trolls that trying to crush to creative processes. If/. didn't do anything about the trolls then/. would have collapsed and imploded a long time ago. You have a lot of freedom to be creative in the framework here. It's not their fault if you spout off and get modded into the ground. Anyone who wants to browse at -1 can see all the creative people they want. We just have the option not to.
I haven't any system working better on anything near this scale. A lot of things work better than this but don't scale well (or at all) or would need a staff of 100 to manage it all. If you think banner ads and subscriptions are bad with a handful of staff then think about how bad it would be with a large staff.
Radio stations have to put up a tower and generally they are done with that part of the expense. Webcasters have to deal with the reacurring cost of bandwidth. Now lets add RIAA into it and I don't see a possible way of doing it legally and stay running.
[suckup]or maybe Taco and company is the artist for constructing the site and you should send the royalty check here. They did go through all the work to build the site and keep it running. Those little code monkeys. Hopefully VA Linux pays better than RIAA or Taco is going to be more than a nickname, it's his lunch.
Your posts, while maybe interesting from time to time, are not really that artistic. The real art is keeping things running with all the whiners, trolls and crapfloods going on.[/suckup]
She's apparently responible enough to sue Sony and get the money for it. I say she should be responsible enough to be counter-sued. If more people would counter-sue the ridiculous lawsuits then more people would think twice about it.
Maybe he should tax the obese people so they don't have as much money to buy so much soft drinks. What we really need is a stupid tax. Oh wait we do have one called lottery.
That's basically what I was getting at. Stock is not very good but they can be upgraded enough to make it work. A lot of people have been upgrading their computers as they go so they are already there. If I had a stock Mac then I would rather put the money into a newer machine or forget OS X on them and run some they can run well. Linux, NetBSD, Darwin, etc.
I worked at a datacenter of a decent sized bank and we used a Unisys "mainframe" (multiple Pentium PROs system) for processing. It was running Unixware on it and even had a terminal connected to it running a term on X. They started pushing NT right after this particular model. They were running NT and Unixware simultaneously on the new boxes. They export all the database stuff into a MS SQL server for data mining, etc. They are quite a bit quicker than seperate boxes doing the same job because of direct access to the hardware.
The ES7000 looks cool on paper but I have yet to see it in a real-world application. It has 4CPU segments that can run seperately or up to one image running all 32 CPUS. Supposedly you will be able to swap out the Xeons for Itaniums. The sale rep was saying you could have both running at the same time. I'd have to see that in action to believe it.

They probably would filter those out but they might not filter those $20+/minute Caribbean area codes.

Maybe a Onion2k bobble-head doll would be better in your car. Just watch out for sudden price drops of significant amounts.

They didn't used to before the Dell marketing got kicked into high gear. Mandrake needs to get some brand recognition going

The Mandrake release is still beta but you can dl it. Maybe that's why.

Me on my pre-G3 machine. It runs much quicker than OS X on my iMac but nvidia issues make OS X look better on this G4 Quicksilver

RIAA, how is this fair?

No conflict of interests there. They have too much power that directly affects their bottom line.

NO, it is just the core under OS X. There needs to be a lot more than Darwin to make OS X for x86
This A-14 had Intel CPUs in it. We missed the Clearpath by a couple months
