Since I use the command line 90% of the time, why is it such a problem to open a term and type su? It's an honest question....I've seen the "finder" on Macs before (my experience with macs are VERY limited), but I have used my friends Mac with OSX and had no need for it....
I havent played with MacOS X yet, but are you saying you can't just open a shell prompt and type su? It's a standard BSD, right? Just add your user to the wheel group, or is it so different that there IS no wheel group?
My personal workstation has a 100 GB hdd, with 50% filled, and If I lost it, I would cry. I have 5 servers (Solaris, netBSD, another linux box, etc) with some of the stuff backed up onto them. I need a better backup system. I have stuff strewn across 5 servers. What is the CHEAPEST way to backup all this stuff without spending thousands on backup drives?
No..you're wrong...tourists and GENERAL of ignorant. I am embarassed by American tourists (I'm American!)...no respect for anything....and I bet Euros are ashamed of who represents them.
I don't think you really want to know....the answers are there..God has written to humankind a book that explains all these things away...as it says "some people's eyes are blinded, and ears deaf, and will not see the light". The answer to your question is explained, but I'm not going to explain it to you because I don't think you really care. If you truly wanted to know the answer to this question, you would have seeked yourself. So instead of casting Pearls to swine,I'll just agree.
The world is the way it is.....sometimes he heals people, sometimes he doesn't..it's all in his will, but Christians do not worry about this temporary life..
It is the transgressions of the human race. Due to our unwilling acceptance of his grace, cancer has been able to be spread. People don't have a problem with God, per se. It's the unwillingness to submit to him and realize that we are powerless with out him. YOU didnt choose war, but human's with freewill, are a warlike people. Fight for what's yours. because people do NOT submit to Christ, war happens. They take what's not theirs. They have anger and have thirst for blood. That is NOT what God wants. If we submitted to him, NONE of this would happen. it goes to show that mankind CAN'T fix the ills of our world. 2 million years of existance hasnt done it. Christ is the answer, but we still look for our OWN ways
Why do people htink that Linux people compile their kernel all the time? I almost NEVER compile my kernel, unless I'm trying out bleeding edge stuff or experimenting. Most distros make everything a module so no NEED to recompile.
Compile the kernel to install a browser??? What are you talking about? Once you install your system , you really don't EVER have to recompile your kernel. Reply when you know what you are talking about.
It takes faith to believe in evolution just as much as it does to have faith in Christ....probably more so. CHristinity does not conflict with Evolution per se. They go hand in hand..the one hting we don't have "proof" for is where we came from. Many "believe" we came from protozoa. Where's the proof? You need FAITH to believe that. Many scientific theories are just that..theories. See http://cguru.ma.cx for a paper on this
Don't you see that OUR transgressions have done this? God made the world perfectly, however WE have chosen not to follow him and do things our OWN way. God says love one another. But we choose war. How can you possiby blame this on God?
>>However, what other people do with that ability is not up to me, and they do some absolutely horrible things. So horrible, that if there is a God, I would like to know why the design of this train set was so horrible.
The design was perfect. SInce mankind has freewill, WE have screwed everything up. He asks us to come to him and follow his ways which are perfect. Haven't you noticed that 2 million years of man on this earth CAN'T do it? He has whispered to us to follow him, we have chosen not to. He made a perfect "train set". We have broken it.
For me it was the RPG's and adventure games...the shoot'em ups bored the hell out of me. When I was in HighSchool ('84) every geek had a commodore, then some unlucky sap got an Apple IIe for Christmas..he never told ANYBODY! I remember Zork FONDLY. All the steve Jackson and Infocom games. N, L, get sack, examine sack Damn, what memories....how about the Ultimas? Ultima I to VI?
It's funny..yesterday I decided to whip out my Commodore 64 emulator (x64 on linux) and I played all the old games I liked. I never liked the shoot em ups, but I DID love Pools of Radiance and Legacy of the ancients....LOVED those games..the ONLY thing I couldnt do yesterday was play them! You need the damn translation wheel to start the game..did anyone really KEEP theirs? So I could't play them:( So, I decided to boot up Alter Ego (my next fav game) and played that for 5 hours straight..I made it to Adult w/o a hitch! (Although I got kidnapped and raped at 8..thank God for the save game feature;))
I first used VMS in my high school back in 1985. The school ran on it and the Fortran classes were taught on it (...teletype...). I used to go to the local university (University of Stonybrook) and learn VMS there from the terminals and the books on the shelves in the computer room...That was my first experience with a REAL OS....I hated it back then..I hate it now,,,UNIX was a breath of fresh air;)

So, you're saying that the ONLY reason people don't do drugs is because they're illegal? If heroin were legal tomorrow, I STILL wouldnt touch the crap

It's an honest question....I've seen the "finder" on Macs before (my experience with macs are VERY limited), but I have used my friends Mac with OSX and had no need for it....
That's why I stick w/ open source....Like the REAL BSD's or Linux. You can just recompile your system.
MacOS X does not allow this
I havent played with MacOS X yet, but are you saying you can't just open a shell prompt and type su?
It's a standard BSD, right? Just add your user to the wheel group, or is it so different that there IS no wheel group?

I use ext3 on my my boot partition and JFS on all my others.....does JFS have this 32-bit limitation?
I love the bird in your sig! One of these days, I'll figure out how to do that
If you don't live at home, are you homeless? :)
Anniversary is from the latin root annum (which declines to anni-)

When did Cocoa become available for Intel?? You mean I can now have the Apple desktop on top of darwin???

My commodore 64c CAME with GEOS! GEOS was a full GUI back in 1984! It was a completely new concept and I was blown away
