vmware the commercial product will work many more times better than the open source equivelent. Heres why: the vmware company invested a lot of money and research into making it work. The opensource clone is just people coding in their spare time. It will never be as stable or robust as the commercial product.
they put a dummy point and click interface on Space Quest 4 I stopped playing. It was actually harder with the stupid icons. Should I use the hand or the arrow icon to turn the switch on? See my point? Luckily not long after that Wolfenstein came out and my 8088 was upgraded to a 286.
Unless you were born in africa and only moved here a few months ago, you are a *PLAIN AMERICAN*. My ancestors are from europe, mostly german in fact. So by your logic I am no longer an american. I shall now be know as a European American. Why do you feel the need to be singled out as being special? I thought you wanted to be treated equally?
Water can boil at any RF frequency. When you radiate 1kw of power into a steel box its going to cook something. This has nothing to do with your computer. The cpu clock is running at 1Ghz, but at very minimal power, probably milliwatts. What takes so much current is the 40 million transistors on the cpu. If your athlon suddenly started radiating hundreds of watts of RF I would be worried.
I think this guy has more credibility than you. No companies will use staroffice or applix until it can flawlessly use MS documents. Don't forget powerpoint and excel. 90% of the world uses office. Don't even mention gimp, it has not made a single dent in photoshop sales.
someone not biased by the vast left wing conspiracy. We could all be using clean nuclear power in this country like all of europe does, and stop burning coal to make electricty. But no, people are scared of nuclear power. like 70% of europe has nuclear power plants, how many major accidents have happened? Two or three? I think those odds are pretty good.
I have been using OpenBSD as a firewall on my DSL line for a few months now and icq has never given me problems. One user couldn't send me files, but that was probably something on his end. I love having an OS that doesn't have 12 remote root exploits for its latest release. No more buffer overflows of the week.
"Wow! You got Sun to give you free copies of Solaris for Sparc? Last I checked you still had to pay a hefty $90k (!) for an OS with nearly equivalent functionality as Linux. I call that a bad deal." Solaris for sparc and x86 is free, its $20 for shipping and media. So whats linux have that Solaris doesn't?
They spent millions of dollars on R&D and testing to get code that performs well, what gives you the right to take and distribute it freely? You gain the code but what does Sun gain? Nothing. Thats where money comes into play, they will gladly give you the code for a price and both sides benefit.
I had a Cyrix p133 (110mhz) for a while and it ran great. No problems with dos/win95/os2/linux/nt whatsoever. Other than the sucky FPU performance in games it was great. For the average person to check email and browse the web I don't see anything wrong with them. At the time it has a LOT cheaper than the equivelent pentium.
I like the BSD license. Do whatever you want with my code, I got my share of use from it. Notice how many commercial opensource apps you see, I don't even know of any.
It happens to me often enough. If you exit Netscape after this happens do a CTRL ALT DEL and see that its still in memory. Just kill the process and start Netscape again, no reboot needed.
What do you mean "MS could make linux a second-class web browsing platform"? It already is. Netscape is buggy beyond all belief. Not one day goes by that it just exits for no reason or segfaults leaving a nice core dump. I have a cron job just to clean those up. Face it, right now the seperior browser is IE. Joe user doesn't care netscape sticks to standards better, all he knows is IE loads pages faster and doesn't crash. Now I hear you suggesting Mozilla, which could be good one day, but now its barely alpha code. Until I see the finished product nothing will change. The reason you haven't seen realplayer 7 for linux is because most of their income is from big companies who buy tons of licenses for the players, so thats where the focus is kept. They can't make money from linux clients because none of you would pay for it.

I know exactly where that is.
Doesn't ABC own the show NYPD Blue? I hear that cop guy calls people an "asshole" every once in a while. Interesting they don't censor that.
How does me using 8 phone lines at once at a fixed cost affect someone who makes a 3 minute call?

did that make any sense to you?

FreeBSD has had SMP support longer than linux did and their main concern is performance on the x86 platform. I don't know where you heard that FUD.
Because linux people hate BSD and commiedot eerrr slashdot is the biggest linux zealot site there is. I am going submit this story to the main page.
Other than netbeui not being routable, its a good protocol for small lans. It has a LOT less overhead than tcp/ip and its simpler to setup.
not quite what I expected, score 2. your karma just shot up

Mine peaked at -14 but its gone up to -11 today.

So far my BP6 has run, NT4, Win2k, Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS, and Solaris. I don't know what you're talking about. Unless you mean onboard video or sound.
