  1. Re:Dammit on Linux Nukes 386 Support · · Score: 1

    The 386 chips were most commonly paired with 1MB RAM. :-)

    Mostly running DOS, they used 640K effectively. I saw 2MB machines on OS/2 and SCO UNIX/386. I once configured an Intel AboveBoard with 2MB, to get a total of 3MB usable for Xenix on a 386SX.

    Wow.

    If you HAVE a 386, don't you also REALLY want a pre-2.0 kernel, anyway? :-)

    "suspected terrorist has been taped planning a deadly attack "

    When? Where? This has never happened. There are statistically, NO terrorists. The FBI is so desperate to locate any, that they manipulate informants and patsies into hopeless and ineffectual plotting. These are "terrorists" who'd otherwise be confined to grumbling on the short-bus!

    I think this whole topic is one generated by the anti-terrorism industry. Resources would be better spent on pool covers, if you want to protect against the unexpected loss of innocent lives.

    Let's organise a kickstarter to pay VLC to NOT develop for Windows 8.

    I wonder if there's been anything like that before? Crowdsourced compensation for dropping an opportunity?

    The article poses the (strawman?) problem for a Windows developer, who has no GUI access to the VPS.

    I'm pretty sure he could do whatever he wanted with a local VM. :-)

    Other than that? All around cluelessness. He just wants a specific supported script engine on an Apache server.

  18. Re:Misleading Summary on Researchers Find Crippling Flaws In Global GPS · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty certain that this is how Ian has intercepted and captured at least two US drones - including one of the "stealth" variety.

    Remember CDMA networks, as developed by Qualcomm, were the product of a couple Iranian researchers, living and working in the US.

    The Iranian ability to redirect America's cutting edge of battlefield technology back into the face of the aggressor is something that may well take the ignorant by surprise, should it happen.

    But I'd rather more so, if they didn't manage the feat - especially given the 0day possibilities in low-bid GPS software for Lockheed Martin or whoever.

    Yeah, haiku and *BSD will displace Linux, and Ayn Rand will grow fairy-wings, flying from Mt Olympus with a funnel-cake for good children, everywhere.

    GPL is a social-contract, of sorts. If you don't like the constraints imposed by civility and reciprocation, you needn't join such a community where such obligations are codified.
