And all shrines are razed. This is the most
idiotic thing I've seen in a while. Why are
we wasting time (myself included, flaming,
as it were) on picking out the dumb movies?
Why don't we spend more time exalting the good
movies, with identifyable heroes and conflicts,
movies that affirm the good parts of life
and morality, instead of cheering a series of
bad films???
And what ports do they look at anyway? Probably the stupid 1723 port. Either that or they block Protocol 47 somehow. Either way, just run ssh and tunnel everything over that, or use the encryption options in PCAnywhere. Problem solved.
Why would I buy a game for Linux when I can just buy the Win98 version, slip in the CD, and click "Install" when autorun comes up? I tried, and after 3 hours of downloading, installing, searching, and more downloading, succeeded in getting Quake2 to run under X3.x in accelerated mode. It's a pain in the neck.
Someone (not me) needs to improve the setup of Glide/Mesa/Whatever to make it Just Work.
If there's ever a conflict between your ideals and someone else's demand, stick to your ideals. I turned down a 5-digit contract with a town because they had some grey/black market software, that I'd be indirectly using.
Wait, I have an idea... maybe you put a CD into your system, and then click on Start, then Settings, then Control Panel...
Interesting article - touches on the strengths and weakenesses of the various methods, BUT, there's no magic bullet.
Try "tar -t" to see where stuff is going.
Use "rpm -ivv" to see where all your files get dumped
Be prepared to use "--force" and "--nodeps"
Heck, you can't butcher up your linux system so badly that it can't wait until your next reinstall when your Distro-of-Choice comes out with their next upgrade.
I want a 16 mb flash for my desktop! Where can I get something that plugs into the PCI bus that has the IDE interface, like the i-opener or this little gizmo?
It would be great to put my kernel and/boot on it, the thing would boot in seconds!
Have you ever tried reporting RF problems from your neighbors? I lived for a year near a big CB operator - his CB picked up in my stereo and came out my speakers. I called about this, and got passed around and around, ultimately told that I had to _write_ a certain address in Washington DC and request a certain form....
I just turned my stereo up louder, it did the trick.
Fool, Uncle Sam couldn't regulate to save himself. If the truth is out there, they lost it.
Distributions ship 100's of applications over which they have no control, unless they want to code everything themselves.
You can download a profession quality distro, complete with installer, for free.
You can buy it for $4.
It is open source, so people can look for errors. QED: More errors will be found, and fixed in Linux than closed-source, expensive OSs.
This man is a fool. How many web sites got destroyed by the "enhancements" and "features" of FrontPage? Can you say "bonk" attack? "F00F bug"? With Linux, updates come out periodically, with full candor of their necessity. And heck, you don't have to reapply them every time you make some unrelated change (Service Pack 666). A much better metric is the time-to-fix a bug once its reported.
Grab a giant Arizona iced tea, and a bag of Pepperidge Farm cookies, gorge, then go lay down on the couch for 1/2 hour.
Real issue is the Role of the State
on
Selfish Society
·
· Score: 2
If you consider the disenchantment of many people, regardless of their agenda, it stems from their agreement or disagreement of what the State should do, and how it should act. Which laws should be enacted? Who should benefit, and at the cost of whom?
These are the questions people argue about, but never cut to the true core of the problem. The leftish, Democrat-ish types will argue for a stronger state to implement social programs, greater tax rates on higher income levels, government spending on environmental programs, etc. The rightist, Republican-ish types will argue for a stronger state to implement tax cuts and breaks for corporations, development of federal land by developers and industry, etc.
The problem is that government should take NEITHER of the above roles. The proper function of Government is to act as policeman - protect people from criminals, domestic and abroad.
When you have a situation where 51% of the people can vote away the rights of 49%, because the government has wide-reaching, long arms, then you are in for disaster. The way to protect people from abuse of Governmental authority is to remove the authority.
If you establish an account with E-Gold, you can give or receive nearly infinitesimal sums of money electronically. Of course, they take a cut of it, but someone has to manage it. And, the nice thing is that you can PAY into it using your currency, and then give gold, and then the PAYEE can turn it from gold into THEIR currency, at will.
Flame me or call me a troll, but isn't all this talk about NeXT redundant and/or completely irrelevant? What has NeXT done lately? NOTHING.
NeXT made those weird, overpriced computers at my college 10 years ago, that's all. Next people will be screaming about the Apple//e or the Coleco Adam.
Get over it, the NeXT is dead. And so is Elvis, and yes, Amigas do actually suck.
The newest GHz chip won't ship any time soon, and how many people besides CowboyNeal type that fast? And who gives a crap about the latest blender/toaster/processor/monitor/hockey puck from Apple?

jabber.com sucks, their website is a pain - mega images on the front page, with no size tags... think I'll take a nap while it renders.
Who gives a crap about LinuxPPC - its about Market Share.
Too many people sell out.
dude, who cares about Be? It's like NeXT or the Mac - a neat fringy toy. Next you'll be claiming that Amiga's will take over the world.
Except some of us never use /opt.

Linux is not all Unix. Just like all Linux is not RedHat.
According to recent data, the Greenland icecap is melting along its edges, and thickening in the middle. Surprise, surprise.
Just buy a 2nd PC.
