The very same day I read it on the Opera web site (who posted the news on the 5th). What the fuck is up with that shit? I'm pissed. Maybe I didn't include a geeky enough comment or sing "I'm a geek and I'm okay, I code all night and I sleep all day" (appologies to Monty Python). Rant over.
My wife and I saw it, and said that because of all the hype, the interviews with the actors, the articles, the tv story about the directors being 'the witch', etc, she left the movie saying, "I wasted an afternoon for this?" The information age can ruin some things...
Umm, the last time I checked, anybody could go to ftp.suse.com and download it. My first SuSE was a cheapbytes CD. It cost the same as a RH CD, a Slackware CD, a Mandrake CD, a Debian CD. In your efforts to discredit SuSE, you discredited yourself. /*flame suit on*/
So if they took it on the road, they could call it the "Rob Slashdotted CmdrTaco over Andover on the road, and now he's nothing but Freshmeat on the highway" Tour. Sorry, it's been a long 10.5 hours. I need to go home.
If they did that, then somebody would say, "Release the code for the Windows drivers!" We wouldnt want that now would we? Closed Source Code=New Clueless User Pays For Useless Support... Just my opinion and not meant to go down in the history books as a profound and meaningful statement
Egad! An ISP tech's horror!

LinModems?

PCTEL modems for Winblows are total shit. We tell our customers right off the bat that we can not even guarantee the shitpile will even work with our service... If the tradition continues, I will tell people, "Get an external modem..."
AOL is definitely NOT an ISP, they are a Content Provider, just like MSN and Compuserve. As a tech for an ISP, I have a hell of a time explaining this to new customers that call in and wonder why, when they click on the connect button, it just sits there counting up the time and nothing else happens.
As a Left Coaster, I take some offense to that, but seeing as it's probably a reference to California, I'll let it go...;) Now if RH decided to move up here to the Silicon Forest [Oregon], maybe Linux closer proximity to Redmond could wake up Micro~1 a bit...
RHIDE is also available for Linux! I found a URL for y'all: http://www.tu-chemnit z.de/~sho/rho/rhide-1.4/rhide-linux.html I think it's one of those apps that's in a perpetual beta stage [kinda like ICQ for winbloze...] I used RHIDE it when I was still looking through Windows. I was happy when I discovered I could use it in the Open [source that is]. It came with my commercial copy of the SuSE[5.3 or 6.0 or 6.1- I canna remember] distro... HTH, Steelehead
I had to laugh. I was thinking the same thing, ya beat me to it. "That's right! I'm blind stinking sober..."

Imagine "The Secret of NIMH" with commando rats instead of the docile creatures it portrayed... "DIE Nicodemus!!" *rapid machine gun straffing fire* "Stick a needle in my neck will you, you B#@$#@rds! Feel my WRATH!" "Lee of the stone? Hell, we are taking the house!"
Amen. If any of those games are ported and I get a Linux compatable scanner [if i knew then what i know now about compatability], my windows partition will become hda4
You may have misinterpereted my story submission, or I just wasn't very clear in my explaination. It wasn't intended to be an announcement of the actual Linux port, per se, but an update on the latest news on the progress of the said port. Previously, Linux users weren't even in the running for an alpha release, now there is a light at the end of the beta-tunnel, so to speak...
Are you refering to the article I posted or another earlier in the thread? If its the one I posted, I was simply posting the LATEST news [the news before my news was simply that Troll Tech was doing the port]. I've known about the linux port since Project Magic was started, as well as others here... appologies if i misinterpreted your post.
Geek works for me. My brother, a mechanic, calls me a Geek. My dad, who taught me about computers, calls me a Geek. My wife calls me a Geek. She doesn't understand computers all that well but knows I have a life outside the machine, and don't break in to DOJ systems. But I like computers, write programs [if ya count 'hello, world' - baby steps, man], read Linux Journal and all ways fsck with the computer settings. Geek. It fits.
We are selecting 50 from the list of users whom we were unable to use for Civilization: Call to Power, and adding a few of the testers who contributed many reports and sleepless nights to that cause.
... "crackers" are people in the South who have Confederate flags in the back windows of their pickup trucks. To emphasize your point...I've always heard the above mentioned crowd referred to as Hicks or Rednecks. BTW,You forgot to mention the gunrack...

if you enter the best operating system, it comes up with, you guessed it, Linux Home Page at Linux Online

1 Million! Very cool. Certainly puts the Linux in schools project here in Oregon, USA in to perspective....
The fact that they called AOL an ISP.

Since Al claims to have had a part in creating the internet, does that make him God or a sub-god?
