Look at the problems kernel 2.2.0 had. It was supposed to be the final stable build but they rushed it before new years or christmas or whatever. Anyhow It took until 2.2.5 for something stable.
why should we even be talking about it? What right do we have telling an entire country how to control and govern their people? Its like the US is big brother to the world, sticking his nose in everybodys business where it doesn't belong.
is the source to you, one person? What improvements could you make? I'd really like to hear. Most people on SGI's concentrate on doing real work, not hacking the source. You want to hack the source? Then run linux or BSD. Each unix has its own purpose and niche.
seti and rc5 rely heavily on FPU performance, meaning you get what you pay for. The Uber expensive SGI box will render images in a fraction of the time a pIII could.
What exactly do you find so scary about it? Seriously, I would like some input. Have you read some of the articles on that site? I regularary see articles and people talking about things such as black pride, so why is it when we talk about white pride its racist? So its impossible for black people to be racist?
According to SGI's site the IR has a fill rate of 7 Billion pixels/sec. You're $100 tnt2 won't come anywhere near that. More Mhz does not mean a better cpu. Look at he FPU performance of Alpha and MIPS chips, they still crush pentiums. An Onyx with a R10k cpu tears up a seti block in a few hours, how long does you average pIII take? If cheap PC video cards are so good, why do all the major companies still do heavy rendering on SGI's? PC hardware just doesn't scale well enough. If you want raw power the Origin 2000 servers scale to 128 cpus, and even they can be clustered for a total of 1024 cpus.
Aparently this is not the land of free speech. Sorry about my opinion, how silly of me to think for myself. You must have missed the quote by the leader of the new black panther party concering his love of white people:
"We kill the women. We kill the babies. We kill the blind. We kill the cripples. We kill them all. . . . When you get through killing them all, go to the goddamn graveyard and kill them a-goddamn-gain because they didn't die hard enough."
most consumer video cards are designed to get the max fps in games, lets see that tnt2 against a permedia3 card in 3dsmax. Of course quake will run slower on an expensive SGI, they didn't design an expensive computer for games, they designed it to do real work. 3d modelling, realtime simulations, not q3.

Nothing wrong with my DSL line. I can watch lynx send the http request, make some coffee, come back and its done. I love FreeBSD, thats why I suggested malda do a test for a week and watch the system load. Don't forget FreeBSD has a multithreaded tcp/ip stack.
slashdot takes a good 5 minutes to load something after I click on it. How about you configure an identical box with FreeBSD for a few days and see how it performs? Now that would be an interesting real world benchmark.
Its out of the bag now, they can't stop it. Mp3's are too widespread for them to stamp out. Millions of people probably downloaded DeCSS, the MPAA must be scared shitless.
Don't piss off the wrong people, especially if they are a multi billion dollar corporation. They have deep pockets and high priced lawyers. Same goes for kevin mitnick, he pissed off the wrong person and paid for it.
Go rent a dvd for a few bucks, dump it to my hard drive. Encode it to mpeg, and burn on two cds. In a year or so the price of blank dvds and burners will drastically go down.
be a left winger. too bad liberalism the way to socialism, just ask the head of the former socialist party: "The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of "liberalism" they will adopt EVERY fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. (Former Socialist Presidential Candidate) - Norman Thomas"
Its Signal 11 the karma whore with no life. You seriously need help. Hitting refresh every few seconds just go get first post is pathetic. You are almost as lame as the anonymous first posters. Now I feel like pouring hot grits down my pants.
I would have smacked the teeth out of my bosses mouth had he said that. Just the 512meg of ram, christ. That onyx they are using sounds pretty sweet too.
I used win2k professional RC3 for a few months and it never crashed or blue screened. It was probably just as stable as linux. Then again I've never had any bad crashes on my system, two celeron 333's overclocked to 500. The only thing that happens is it locks up while playing unreal tournament, which is kind of expected considering my cpu's.
I love the/stand/sysinstall config tool that comes with FreeBSD. With that I can run fdisk or disklabel, setup networking and ppp interfaces, install software from the ports collection and parts of xfree86. Other than having to recompile your kernel for things like sound its great.
"Legal MP3 distribution does occur with napster" maybe about less than 2% of the mp3s on napster are legal. I draw the line when my boss says he doesn't want mp3s taking up large chunks of bandwidth. I'm sure that if you bothered to read the network policy of a university it says you aren't allowed to distribute copyrighted material. The only place where mp3s are legal is like mp3.com where they are all no name bands with no record contracts. Yes ownership is the issue. Renting a house and a network are totally different things. When you rent a house or apartment there are rules the landlord sets, like no pets or no taking out walls to build another room. If they say no napster, thats the rules. Take your complaint to the boss.

EVERYONE was waiting and asking for the final build. As I recall it had broken soundblaster support and locked up a few times on me.

its called /etc/hosts or c:\windows\hosts. Edit that file to point to the right IP and you're set.

No one here thinks anymore. "Oh the tax cuts are just for the rich". They make more, they pay more.
meaningless drivel like this gets a score 1?

Netware 5 will support tcp/ip natively, so stop bitching about IPX not being an "open standard".
