Let me also add that he asked HIS defense lawyers to hold back the trial so they could gather evidence, and his running from the feds didn't help either. I don't like the government one bit, but this time its his own fault.
Universities are becoming more and more communist all the time. I know certain universities that have banned public speakers because of their conservative views, while the university was far far to the left. Thats free thinking? It also comes down to money. The last thing they want is a million dollar lawsuit to fight.
You may rent the facilities and network, but they still *own* it. They are scared the RIAA would start suing, can you blame them? If you were the person in charge, what would you do?
Most people don't realize that if they started adding a small amount, around 5% of methanol to gasoline the harmful emissions are practically zero after that. Of course the oil companies won't tell you that.
win95 always used to lock up when I would drag around some parts while building a VI. It was a k6 166 with 48 meg of ram. After that second lockup I installed NT and its been fine. Uptimes of many months are not uncommon. We use labview for controlling solenoid valves, taking theromcouple readings, and managing mass flow controllers. Just set the amount of run time, come back and your data is there. The win95 box in question is running some ancient 16 bit HP chemstation software. It just keeps going and going....
do you have proof of this statement? You use good apps on good hardware with good drivers and windows is fine. The system load is not that much, only a spike when it generates a graph. Why is it so hard to believe I can get long uptimes with win95?
Thats autorun looking for something on a cd. It checks every minute or so. Go into control panel and disable it. Its especially noticable with scsi cdroms. BTW my dual celeron 333@500 has NEVER once blue screened or crashed since it was built in september. Its locked up a few times after playing UT, but overclocking is to blame for that.
What does opening hardware specs have to do with opening software? You want open specs to write better drivers. You want open source to leech from and build something half assed. As for stability we have win95 running on 486's that can stay up practically forever. Its all about the drivers and what software you install. The only reason they get rebooted is to hook up a zip drive and copy some files off. They do data acquisition and control all day.
"Oh well its closed source, I'll just wait for someone to write a cheap half assed clone thats a lot slower" Who cares if its opensource? Be happy they are going this far. Take what you can get. I'll use it instantly if its equal/faster than windows.
Thats how nature works, when gross overpopulation occurs something has to give. Meaning all but a few die off. Sorry to sound like a nazi or something but you can't save everyone.
The government should cut welfare by 50% and redirect some money into nasa. We have no business of feeding the children of 3rd world countries. We feed them and the population goes up exponentially making the problem worse. Heres a good quote: "The real culprits are those who created a system that makes it dangerous to work and safe to loaf" - Thomas Sowell Instead of working I can just have a few kids, sit on my lazy ass and let the government pay for everything food, school, income. The US government is no democratic, it is a represenative republic.
The government keeps cutting their budget. During the 50s, 60s, and 70s they had a nearly unlimited budget, no to mention their main goal was beating the russains. We have the technology now to send a man to mars. But the government would rather blow money on things like social programs and welfare which is creating more problems than it helps. Today the government is all about managing problems, not solving them. God forbid they actually solve a problem and someone is out of a job.
I just did a minimal install the other day and and the bare browser takes up about 6 or 7 meg. Add 4 meg for java if you choose to install that. Sure a full install with new fonts, media player, outlook and some plugins will take 50 meg. Don't spread your FUD around here.
slashdot loads and behaves much better in IE than netscape. With netscape and threaded comments it puts you back at the top of the page, instead of where you left off. IE doesn't do that.
does a number have to do with the quality of software? I could give a shit if they started at negative 20 and worked towards zero. What exactly is a "correct version"? Look at HP-UX, aren't they at like version 10.x now? Version numbers don't dictate what types of software I use, I use it for reasons more important than that.
here is the quote, obviously some liberal CENSOR doesn't like my opinion. Its called free speech. My opinion is just as good as yours. If you don't like it then move to red china. Our job is to give people not what they want, but what WE decide they ought to have. (Former President of CBS News) - Richard Salant

you seriously need to get a life. being the first person to reply to every comment gets old after a while.
if I were you (which I'm not) I would be pouring hot grits down my pants right now.

run FreeBSD?
You work for the fucking MAN!! I bet your multination corporation open sources all its software.

In fact its running the original win95 version .950 with no extra drivers, everything straight from the cd. Too bad theres no built in uptime counter.

FreeBSD SMP was much better than linux's for a while. You have it bass ackwards.
Not to mention the prices for cd's, christ they want $17 for most new ones.

seriously
I'm not going to college. $30k a year to sit around and talk about the matrix? Damn I can do that in the comfort of my own home for free.
