This guy is insane. This guy has way too much spare time. And money.
Most/.ers have enough old parts laying around to do this so the cost of some foam isn't much of an expense.
Insane and too much time. You could be right about that but I always liked a little insanity and can usally find a little time if the insanity is right.

30-pin SIMMs
·
· Score: 1
I've got some 256k 30-pin simms just to say I have them.
OS X uses a lot of 3d, anti-aliasing, etc. and uses a lot of ram. I've been real happy with Linux, NetBSD, etc. on 604 machines and older imacs. Sure you could throw a bunch of RAM in them, upgrade the video and a G4 CPU and they would work fine.
Is it worth all that for OS X on these machines?
For the money you could buy a recent imac to run OS X on and put the 604 machines to other jobs. Of course money isn't everything and there is a satisfaction in a good hacking.
I did see that it was released but decided to dl 2.1 and wait for 2.2 iso's. It seems to be a pretty good distro for what I've seen in the last couple days.
I was trying Mandrake cooker but my machine is an Old World machine and Mandrake is still working on the support for these machines. The cooker is working well on a couple of New World boxes here.
You forgot the 8600 which is what I'm running right now with YDL 2.1. YDL is not real fast but runs respectful on this machine. I'd hate to see OS X on it.
OS X is very nice on this Quicksilver G4. I'm the only support for the Macs at this college (no one else wants it). I now have a new G4, rev D iMAC and an 8600/300 at home for testing on a semi-permanent basis. I think they want to dump the 8600's so the one could be permanent and get a couple more.
OS X runs great on the G4, decent on the iMAC and not even going to try on the 8600's.
I really missed Tom Bombadil and hope they can keep as much as possible in the next 2 movies. You really had to know how long things took otherwise it seemed like it was only a couple days. I had to explain to my wife that it was years from Bilbo's birthday until Frodo took off.
Personally, in the last year I've had more trouble with hard drives than the last fifteen years. I think it sucks!
I have to agree with you. I have 3 drives RMAed right now including an IBM 40GB that is 6 months old. I'm seriously looking into RAID, SCSI or both. I'm real gun shy with IBM right now.
That difference is konqueror will run under other desktops and window managers
I've run IE with Litestep and dozens of other window managers for Win32. I see that Litestep seems to be down now. I haven't been keeping up.
it isn't the act of integrating that was against the law: It was integrating in order to preserve monopoly power that was against the law.
I agree that the problem isn't integration and I don't see how removal is the answer. They should be punished but the chances of real legal punishment are very slim.
I use Cygwin to connect to my LTSP server and flip back and forth whenever I feel like it. I use the bootdisk in my wife's computer to transition her over. She can go back without losing anything. She likes Linux for the security. She's tired of her family coming over and messing her computer up. She just locks it in Linux when they show now.
My brother-in-law let his expire. He thought they would delete and he can go renew it somewhere else for a fraction of the price. 90 days comes and goes with no word. I start emailing them pretending that I'm interested in registering it. They give me the run around about batch deleting etc. but thanks for your interest. A week later it became available. He registered it at godaddy for $8.95 instead of $35.
or have a laptop with a PCI slot (I've never seen those).
Maybe not built-in but some port replicators have PCI slots in them. I have one for an older Sager laptop with 3 slots. I've used it for external SCSI, multiple NICs, etc. It made a cool little firewall when I needed a temporary one. I should grab a couple of PCI video cards and see what I can come up with. Sounds like fun.
I worked at the datacenter of a fair sized bank and everything had to be installed by IT and every setting was documented. It was a stressful place to work because they didn't want to put much into a budget to have this degree of control.
I now work at a college and things are way more lax. We use VLANs to segment the network into student, admin, etc. You can install whatever you like on the student network(labs, etc.) but your hard drive will be reimaged if you blow it up too bad. You can install Linux, XP, OS/2, etc. but IT doesn't support it and you are on your own. The admin network is a little more strict. There is a standard OS, apps, etc. and trying to deviate from this is strongly discouraged. Of course the politics of it means that there is some deviation but you blow your computer up with it then it will be reimaged.
I've only seen a couple Exchange 2000 installs around here but several 5.5 installs so I would have to agree. I was making good progress at replacing a 5.5 install with Openmail when the announcement came. I' have to say that Exchange is Microsoft's best product out there though it has its share of issues. I'll be happy when there is a solid replacement for it.
Maybe I need to adjust my monitor because that doesn't look like 32bit color to me. Maybe you are running with your fog, texture details, etc turned off. Either way it still looks fun. Isn't that what it's all about?
Kernel conflicts? Sounds like some bad hardware. I've run FreeBSD on a lot of different systems and have yet to see that one. I've only needed to tweak the kernel setup on the install on one machine. I later figured out I could change the hardware resources on the mb to a more standard config. I just skip the config and do all my kernel tuning after it is up and running.

That tells a lot about the game but I still can't find *any* screenshots for it.
I love Blackbox. I started using on my lowend laptops, etc. because it worked well when other WMs were slow. I started using on my 1.2Ghz Athlon just because I liked it.
There are plenty of web interfaces for you if you run your own email server.
I used to run an NT box (long gone) that used Communigate Pro. It has a decent web interface and is available on dozens of architectures/OSs. Sure its not free but there are lots of other options out there that are. Actually if you don't mind a one line tag on all email sent out then it is free. I really liked to documentation. It showed you how to filter and block spam right at the server.
Mine (pre-Microsoft) gets 50/day and my wife's has gotten 6 total in the last 4 years. Her's has one character different than mine. I do see a bunch of variations on my address in the to: but they haven't found my wife's yet. I'm surprised I don't get more considering I use it as a spammer account for quite a while now.

I remember $1000+ for CPUs. I use to work at a computer store building systems and was thankful I was paying these prices.

Some probably said that about Enron too. They can't afford to be stupid long term just because they have a boatload of money to burn now.

Why did Microsoft port Office to OS X but leave out Access?
They have Outlook for Mac so why did they make a whole new program to replace it?
I'm going to stop asking questions because every one brings up more.

I think they can run on 200Mhz forever if they run a Linux Terminal Server.
Have you tried Fluxbox?
It is built off Blackbox 0.61.1 with some "enhancements". I really like using the tabs between windows.

Don't know what I can do about dual nics and $9.95 price tag. Ask for something else, maybe I can get that done too.
