It may run good for you but people always seem to forget mozilla is hardly even BETA yet. People want production quality, not a beta that was compiled the night before.
I pay extra for this high speed line and can only use it to refresh pages like yahoo instead of moving large amounts of data like it was designed? Maybe you should switch ISP's and find one that has a properly designed network. My DSL is never slow, its been the same speed for 6 months.
You raise the voltage and lower the current? The wattage still stays the same. Thats whats important. Buying converters for 80 years worth of legacy appliances is no small task.
Theres a loyal following to the tadpole sparc books, plenty of people still use them. The thing is that most people don't need sparc features in a laptop. I'd take a sparc anything over a pc any day.
Because the zealots jump at anything linux. Hey the microcontroller for the motor on this sewage pump runs linux! What I don't get is why you need a multi user OS on something like a palmtop. I don't use much of the multi user stuff in linux now.
I hate how they meter bandwidth like electricity, whats the phone company pay for its upkeep? Nothing except for their electric bill:) Anyhow around here you can get DSL thats 7.1 meg down/ 1.5 meg up for less than $200 a month. Tell the phone company to stick it.
You are in need of serious help if need net access for an afternoon of boating. Whats the point of going on a boat if you are sitting at the computer? Forget about the net for a few hours, its healthy.
The $18,000 for not fixing sendmail to begin with. Whos bright idea was it to have mail relaying enabled by default anyhow? Sun finally wized up and fix solaris 8. Most of my spam comes from some box in asia with a default install of solaris 7.
Don't you think the lumber and paper companies are smart enough to realize if they cut down all the trees they will be out of business? The oil companies know eventually the oil will run out, but right now its the best source of fuel for transportation. I'm sure in the next 100 years when the oil wells dry up we will have a much better energy source. Solar power doesn't work everywhere. Where I live about 2/3 of the year is overcast. If you lived in the desert solar power makes sense.
1. Uninstall Napster 2. Delete all Registry keys that have NAPSTER in them. 3. Search for the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\{CAD8C81 3-1F34-1B3E- 00CEAE43FF0AAD} and make a note of the ID# value. This ID is what lets Napster know a banned computer is trying to log on. 4. Search for this ID# and delete all instance.
When you search for this ID#, start from the very beginning, i.e. Click on My Computer, then do the search.
5. Install Napster. 6. Create a new login and use a different e-mail address. Don't use the same login ID or you may have to start back at step 1. 7. Only share dirs without Metallica and don't download Metallica
The early philips drives clearly said "650 meg of storage" but they started locking up when it went over 560 meg. Sounds blatantly obvious to me. My CDD2600 crapped out after a year, then it was smashed with a sledgehammer. Hmm I wonder if they need a serial number or proof of purchase. Mine came from some random online store over 2 years ago.
Open source software has bugs just like everything else. Xfree its still far far far from perfect. Not until I get decent multimedia speed. Try playing mpegs at full screen or even 200%, you're lucky to get 15 of the 30 frames.
If they all output the same type of mp3 file, how will one program sound better than another? This is like the great speaker cable debate, oxygen free copper with teflon insulation at $2/ft versus $0.10/ft lamp cord. Which is better. Strangely enough with ABX testing no one can tell.
Go ahead and do a search for something. Within 5 minutes whatever connection you have (dsl t3 etc) will be saturated. Has anyone ever had a complete download? Getting 100bytes/sec on a 5 meg file is insane. Maybe if it reported their connection speed truthfully and people set realistic download/upload limits.
I thank southeast asia for the truckloads of solaris boxes running sendmail with relaying turned on. Sun finally fixed sendmail in solaris 8, which doesn't help the tons of spam from some box in taiwan or japan.
ultra 66 support in linux is laughable at best. Linux is not even using it, thats why it doesn't lock up. You just diagnosed the flaky hardware and blame windows for being unstable? I run a dual celeron with a BP6 mobo, and NT has *never* once blue screened. Its locked up when I was overclocking to hell, but no crashes. Sure netscape seg faults almost daily, but IE never has.
95% of the people who use KDE are end users and are not affected by the license. I bet most of you here are the same way. Unless you are a KDE developer why should you care? I certainly don't, just being the end user. I prefer KDE because of its looks and behavior. The developers license shouldn't be what you base your opinions of a program on. I don't care if KDE had the hitler/stalhin general license, I would still use it.
So the GNU/Linux operating system never had a buffer overflow? You can't tell me there has never been a slackware exploit. I used the redhat example because its one of the most popular distros. Judging from your email address I certainly hit a nerve:) I'll stick to BSD where the exploits are few and far between.
Just how in the hell am I supposed to find these unheard/undiscovered bands? Napster lets you search by keyword, not genre or type of music. Am I supposed to type in random words and find bands that way?
Most new cars are set so that you're not getting all of the perforemance you should. Ever see the people who race little hondas, they plug in a laptop and adjust the shift points and get a 33% speed increase.
I don't see the big deal over dvd copy protection. Every VHS tape I rent is copy protected. If you make a copy the result is a blurry picture that shifts from light to dark. I'm outraged no one has brought this to the attention of slashdot.

Its slow because instead of a native binary it makes a whole win32 subsystem or api or whatever you want to call it. The HPUX version is the same way.

The US government can barely govern itself properly. I'd hate to see government run backbones, imagine the red tape and other bullshit.

How about using OpenBSD? You won't have to check bugtraq every few hours. Two years without a root exploit is a pretty good track record.

I was gonna sleep with my GF last night but RMS didn't like her :(

Yeah 4000 pc's take a lot less current than a few E10k servers.
