Dude, suck was around before anything else. Even your beloved slashdot had a lower profile than them to begin with. You say:
I mean, it's sad that these (and others) couldn't live out their dream life writing biting commentary, but, I have a hard time with people whining about it.
Well, obviously you know a little about suck. But then you accuse them [and their fans] of being what they have always slandered the hardest: whiners. Bollocks to the old days. Suck was there in the old days. It was there before Time Warner's failed portal, before kids went crazy in Columbine, and before anyone gave a shit about the net. Suck is _the_ place to go if you want to find like minded people who have a forum to say what they want, no matter how painful, a place where Polly will often remind us that we aren't the only fuckups in relationships, workplace, or the way we act, and that yes, most people are dumb, stupid, and not worth talking to.
So please, whine about the GPL, groan about the RIAA, and slander MS nabisco mergers all you want. But do not bring such noise to a quality gripefest as Suck, the place where shooting fish in a barrel is positively encouraged. Why? Because it's so damn easy!
Okay, time to move on slashdot. Your not helping anything here, and this posting doesn't "clarify" or anything else to anyone who's actually following the conversation. Your just adding to the noise.
So please, the horse is beaten, you can stop now and move on to something more productive. It's Theo and Darren's pissing match now, and we should all step back and leave it alone.
Where are the binary package updates for 2.9, come on!
Want them, make them. Hell, you could sell them. This is BSD land, things are a little tuffer, but no one ever said they were going to hold your hand.
It's got softupdates, like the other guy mentioned.
Lots more hardware support.
Tighter code from bug fixes of previous releases(as always)
Look out for:
There is a sendmail bug that is in -RELEASE. its a theoretical hole, and for all the Linux trolls out there, its not enabled when you first install (v. intelligent). But, if your serious, its a good idea to patch it immediately like a good OpenBSD user:-).
yiippeee. Good job Theo! You THE man!. And a day before I turn 21. This is one excellent weekend. Want to see OpenBSD in action?
http://www.lemure.net. Of course its probably going to be down after i get back from work... mmm softupdates.
that is my point, and the way that I know apple, they screw good things up by forcing a lot of people to buy expensive shit that they don't need (SCSI is another example). No I can't afford an LCD monitor, and I bet a lot of other people would like a mac without an LCD, just because it would be cheaper.
That said, I think the LCD's they brand are excellent (I had the good fortune to look and touch a HUGE one), just wish they were cheap enough.
I don't really get this. I mean I desperately want to have an LCD panel (don't want a mac tho) but I can't really afford one. Now what's the point of putting these still rather expensive pieces of equipment on top of what were meant to be great budget machines (the iMac)? I guess Job's ego has grown out of proportion again, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Imagine what he could of done if he had just taken an economics class...
And see through crt's were soooo sexy:-(.

I say do what like me. Take slightly old 4 cylinder toy and make more fun. Don't waste large amount of cash, when such exciting toys as a conversion kit for a vovlo 240 to support a chevy (corvette) v8 exist! Thereby you save money, live within your means, and satisfy your geek instict for altering and playing with stuff. I installed my car CD player myself, made a few mistakes, but saved 50 bucks! DIY + thrifty trips to junkyards == cheap, cooler car at low cost.
Isn't this exactly the problem? ie Too Many. If you think about it, do we really need to have that many voices and opinions about video games. I mean, I like them as much as the next person, but couldn't a lot of these sites combine their efforts to produce something of even better quality? Seems to be a logical, economically, and beneficial way to do things.
Really. This thing is just a toaster oven with the guts of a not so up to spec computer placed inside it. And then all of a sudden its a linux toaster oven. No it's not, it's a cleverly designed case. What I was expecting, and would be cool, would be some real embedded linux allowing the user log on it remotely, open the toaster door, place (maybe with some basic grabbing doohickey) the item wished to be toasted inside, and heat accordingly.
But alas, I will have to wait another day for such a lazy invention. I already have my coffee machine automated, however, so the first person to make a REMOTE ADMISTRATABLE toaster oven, pleace notify me, and it will quickly join my cron.daily file:-)
I took a class entitled "introduction to programming" at my school. We used macs (the teacher who taught the class was also the system admin and a Mac fanatic). What did we learn to program in? Hypercard and HTML Fat lot of help that's done me in University
I'm convinced that Hypercard is the reason that we have Visual Basic and all the other "friendly" programming languages. Or else it was the first to discover a market for idiots who didn't want to program, but needed creative window packages really fast. If I see another stack before I die, it will be too early. It was also probably the reason why, at the same time, I taught myself assembly for the x86.
Maybe someone can convince me otherwise, but I never saw the point of it. It seemed to be just an easy slow way to create simple databases with limited animation...
I'm sick of all the money being spent on supercomputers that simply make sure that dollars and cents add up (for instance, VISA's supercomputers). It's heartening to see how motivated people (or companies) are willing spend the doe to solve cancer. My father narrowly escaped it a few years ago, and I wish a cheaper and not so nasty treatment could be developed to prevent it. Others have said, but it needs repeating, that hopefully this will spurn competition in the medical market as pharmucitical companies try to beat each other to better cures.
thinking as a junior undergraduate at Worcester Polytechnic Institute you should teach him the value of collaboration. Too many smart people are used to solving problems themselves without outside help or work, that they fail in the workplace. WPI is geared completely towards that aspect, and anyone who attends here quickly learns the value of group work. No I'm not plugging my school, but when many companies in job interviews state that they prefer hiring WPI grads to MIT grads (who probably excelled in High School better than us) it really hits home.
To this extent Open Source projects could be a great tool, as he/she could learn programming skill, and also how to communicate with others and appreciate their input as well as his/her contribution. Isolation leads very often to egotism, as my best friend (prodigy material) who attends Harvard can be. This is not your problem, but the value of people working together should be a lesson learned in school, although it is infrequently left to the student to discover.
Show him/her how parts of the kernel work, explain how Apache succeeds, show him/her slashdot and how geeks get together in large numbers too. Take him/her to COMDEX or one of those.
I'm expecting a slew of comments, some from my own friends, ejaculating their opinions of how slow java can be and its worthlessness. HOWEVER, this news is good. While not probably the most difficult project to attempt (but still pretty damn hard), this now allows for application integrity and continuity from site to site.
The biggest pain in the ass for website developers is the fact that no webpage looks the same on all browsers. Imagine if you could provide a type of core, using JINI or JMI with it, so that the user sees the same java front end no matter what the machine's specs are. Then using JINI/JMI, you could place the difficult, number crunching part of the software on another machine back at your place. And the fact that all of this is write once, run [almost] anywhere just make the whole package deal ooze sexiness.
Time to dig out those old cheap 8-bit processors and overclock the hell out of them.
would a future wishlist include the ability to drive the output of the guest OS onto another screen, thereby having the appearance (and functionality) of two computers? Instead of having to export a window to XF86, it seems that a great step in speeding up the acceess times would be to write directly to the other screen, using a hacked version of SVGA LIB or something.
I ask, because I run two x86 boxes and would like to run them as one if possible (combining the harddrives and memory to make a more powerful singular computer). Or this outside the scope of the project and more for the Xfree86 people to implement?
