Man, HDs are too damn noisy, vibrate too much and drink too much gas. If you like it, ok, but ya really should try a Valkyrie Interstate, they kick arse (still drink too much, but at least have a huge fuel tank.). And the engine is not a V6, it is a 6-boxer, good to mount some footpads over it;-)
These bikes are not for me anyway... My think is more like the Bandit 1200 (suzuki, argh), or the new Honda Hornet 900, which is unfortunately unavailable around here yet. Cant wait to put my arse on one of those 900;-)
"As of 4.0, NT is moving away from a true microkernel architechture"
They did it to reduce that awful lot of context switches that NT 3.51 did. Good move for them. X86 arch is not suitable for context switches anyway. It is meant to run DOS.:-P
Calling Aureal chips shitty hardware is a bit rough. Same for voodoo3. Both were pretty decent technology. I like my old aureal vortex2 better than this crappy new SBLives. 96 simultaneous wave streams, can't beat that for the price.
I do. To tell the truth, even having win98 installed on the computer, I never use it to browse, since I'd probably get some virus that would mess with all that vital information that is on my windows partitions (savegame files, for example).
it's an old joke, but it has its place here. Does anyone have pointers for info about comparsions between MOSIX x Beowulf? Any fundamental differences, or are they the different implementations of the same idea?
SCSI rocks, but until they charge a decent price for a SCSI drive (read: close to the one of a decent ATA133 7200RPM), i will stay away from it. God dammit, I can buy a 80GB ide drive for the price of a 18GB SCSI one. Something is wrong here.
Dude, since Linux has that wonderful feature called VT (Virtual Terminal), you don't need to get rid of anything.
You can run some X servers, some consoles, some SVGALIB apps, and probably some DIRECTFB stuff to, all at once.
And please, realize this: X is GREAT. It may be slower that direct hadware access, but the newer versions seem to have addressed this in a pretty elegant way with the DRI. Network transparency kicks ass, and I would probably stop using computers if I suddenly was deprived of it. It is essential, only windoze lusers think it is useless.
People playng FPS with mouses don't know how much they suck until they learn and use a trackball.
I know that by experience. Nothing beats the SideWinder FFPro on the right and the Trackman Marble on the left;-)
The damn thing is that you get dependent on that shit. When I had to play tribes, with its funky controls (all keyboard based - no joystick). God, how I sucked...
i'm a mandrake user and the first thing I do is to get rid of KDE and GNOME (well, not really get rid, since they still sit there) and use plaing enlightenment as my WM. Then I customize some shortcuts to launch apps (yeah, I can count on my fingers the apps I use : powershell, kwrite, netscape, staroffice, xmms... lemme think... gnomeicu and gkrellm. the rest I invoke from commandline from time to time)
So, that weird mandrake's rebuilding menus do not bother me much.
Btw, pr0pz to the Mandrake team. 8.1 was good enough, and if tradition applies here, 8.2 will kick ass, as every.2 version did;-)
the point is, broken or not, I should not be running ssh AT ALL on the firewall, with access from outside.
But, since it was my home system, nothin really important got compromised. I think the dude just tried to set an account and use my relay to spam a bit. Damn me.
our comment about firearms remembered be the best firearm scene I ever saw in the movies.
It's from "saving private ryan". The dude is stuck up a tower and kept shooting soldiers coming at him with a scope-bolt-action rifle. That's shooting, not that never-end faggish automatics;-)
Slashdot Mirror
here (brazil) we have some bills that are made of plastic, not paper.
try to make fakes with an inkjet... hehe.
expensive shit, tough.

or better, Carmageddom ;-)
heh.

Morphing x86 asm is one thing. Morphing JAVA would be... difficult
Alas, this would violate one java spec : VMs must be slow as hell...
I read it on a M$ document, so it is prolly true.
:-P

I happily browse with linux/mozilla, thank you.
Outside windows? That would definitely impress me.
Unfortunately, I think not.

Now we can see how linux performs in such an environment. I bet it will do much better without having to coexist with windoze ;-)
man, this is a pretty arrogant statement.
some nigerians please stand up and spank this dude.
of course they have computers. computers are like whores, they are everywhere.
what about "Unbreakable" (TM)
;-)

Give it a try, its pretty addictive.
I do use them.
You must install it the USB way, tough. They do not work using the ps/2 adapter.
> you can't decide to play the game by your own rules
well I surely can't, but what about evil greedy mega corportions like M$ and Sony? they certainly play by their *own* rules.
Amen to that.
;-)

yeah that trackie (M$) rocks.
5 buttons, wheel, rolls as smooth as baby's ass, dirty cheap.
and also impresses the girls with a funky light show.
Damn, the dudes at M$ software division could learn a bit from the hardware division. M$ input devices generally rock and are cheap.
so what?
.2 version did ;-)

cheers.
Nice troll, dude. Hats off to ya.
People: If both MP and XP have the same core (very likely), they will perform equally well in the MP configuration.
Fried CPU because of this? Don't make me laugh. You have worked for 6 years for AMD the same way I worked for NASA in the Apollo Project.
duh.
of course I was ;-)

And nay, it was SSH v2, dunno how they did it.
does it run in runlevel 0 like the "halted firewall"?
I got invaded the other day because my linux FW was running a stupid service (ssh). Considering a true W ever since.
Haha

Some federal units here (Brazil) embrace open-source, mostly in left-wing governed states. But AFAIK, the penetration of OSS here is pitiful.
;-)
Since everyone pirates windoze/office/corel/games freely, there is no (monetary) incentive to go OSS.
OSS is widely used in state universities and some schools too, thanks to some OSS martyrs we have
Thats because GERMANS don't have the kind of media industry USA have. There is no MPAG or RIAG, at least in the same terms as in USA.
Good form them.
