Wait, wait, wait. This is simply too good. I mean, if this is true, this man is a God. However, look at that screen shot. Look at the camera, look at the background. Who has an all-white background like that? Why only one shot? (Maybe more, I'm lazy) It looks like a catalog shot of the camera with a screen shot pasted in. Why wouldn't the camera be rotated to set the display correctly? Why isn't someone 'playing' this?
I mean, come on! Most screenshots/photos look like they were taken by a blind photographer standing next to the sun with an old, cracked Polaroid. It's just too good, imho...
We are suckers for every scheme that comes along. We embrace a full range of wackos, scam artists and paranoid lunatics. When the law of averages comes around and we get one partially right, we never let you forget it.
My old Atari Portfolio runs old Turbo compiled stuff! This is fantastic! I was looking for a copy about a year ago and found... nothing. So I quit. And now it's dropped in my lap!
Screw my Linux development, it's the year of the Portfolio again! 128k RAM! Yeehaw!
Of fer god sakes, how did this get to be a '2'? What clueless moderator bumped this dumb old urban legend up? C'mon people! Get a clue!

Well, apparently since God has to sacrifice himself to himself to "save" us, ummm..., we need to be, uh..., you see, salvation from the devil, er..., who could be zapped out of existance at any time but isn't 'cause God apparently 'loves us'..., umm...
Aw, hell, this is why I ditched all that nonsense long ago... 8^)
Two crazy local DJs, RacistGomer and DickJoke, will be interviewing...
Don't get me started. Criminy! Did you CnP from the press release? "Two crazy local..." Morning radio "shows" are the biggest waste of electricity since they stopped showing "Leave it to Beaver". "Morning DJ's" are the biggest losers... AIGH! Too frustrated to make a coherent sentence! It sucks! Make them stop! Lame!
As someone who used to work for a company like that (high monitoring of internet activities), the first thing you learn is not to just click on any old link handed out.

Sure, you can flip a switch to make it think it's a server, but that's not why the prices are different.
In a sense, "Yes, it kinda is." The licensing and the two registry changes is really what people are paying for when buying NT Server. (I tell NT Admins this, but they don't believe me.)
Those other programs? MS claims that you get them "for free", so you're not paying for those. And you're not paying for Server specific code, that's for sure. It's all in the registry, really. And the licensing. Yes, you're really getting your money's worth there. Thanks you Bill, may I please have another?
How does the recent announcement(s) of software that is supported under "RH only" work into this? Is there something added/mangled by RH to enforce this or are the companies only going to offer support if you say that you have an RH release. (Purchased or dl'ed? Will there be a difference?)
And who decides these things? The software companies? Or RH? "We'll give you $X if you only support RH..."
The free versions of BSD haven't suffered at all because of the proprietary, commercial version out there.
Of course, afaik, the free BSDs haven't presented a threat to a market leader like Linux has to M$. In other words, there's been no attempt to use the BSD license maliciously against BSDeities. It's been, imho, rather friendly.
If Linux weren't under the GPL, and a proprietary version were released by MS, would you use it?
Obviously not. But then again,/.-ers don't make (I'm guessing here) the purchasing decisions or 'corporate road maps'. Suits do. And suits tend to be clueless/"safe choice" makers. FreeBSD or MS^2(w/MS Office support!)? MS^2 all the way. Stability and market share!
If you're lucky, BillG will send you a 'Thank You' note for all your hard work.
Those of you interested in Matrix-type stuff should check out 'cmatrix', built using ncurses. It's really cool and yours truly added the colors other than green.

Gah! My beloved GEM! Why do you taunt me so? I hung with you 'till the bitter end! All I have now is my ST monitor, hooked up to my Jaguar.
No! I can't! I left you for a reason! I'm in a new relationship now and I'm very happy. She's GPLed also and... I know... No, I had a good time with you... No! You're not ugly! It's just... I thought you were dead! I waited! Long, bitter years! I learned German just to be able to run more software for you! Damn you! I went to hell and back defending you from those Commodore Zealots and what did you do for me??? Nothing! Nothing!
So finally, I had to move on. Everything was great. And now... (sobs)...now you've come back here begging me to take you back. Claiming you're GPLed... Get out! No, please... (sobs)...please, leave. (breaks down crying)
open sources his daughters! Woo woo! obTopicSoIDon'tGetModeratedto-55: Who else are the Dems running? Good god, there's going to be no one I can vote for in the next election...
I whole-heartedly agree. With all the hullabaloo surrounding Red Hat and Corel and Distributions X, Y and Z and the Mega-Evil Hypothetical MS-Linux, I sleep soundly at night knowing that no matter what happens today, tomorrow or next week, Linux and I are soundly protected by the GPL. And that's exactly what I want.
Forget it, boys. Sports games can make or break a console. Sure, there may be better systems out at any one time, but the platform with the best sports games will always sell and sell well. The Intellivision, NES, Genesis and Playstation were king of the sports heap at the time and they moved consoles as a result...
Look at Atari. Their consoles (7800, Jaguar) were top of the heap at the time of release and yet they died because Atari hasn't produced a good sports game since "Real Sports Baseball"...
As someone who has suffered with a SiS5597, I can tell you that the 3.3.3 and greater X's support them. *And*, and this is something of an important and, the claim of 4 or 8 megs of memory is misleading, at least for the 5597/8. They don't come with any sort of video RAM, they just share out the conventional RAM in your machine. 'Twas a nasty surprise...

CowboyNeal, where've you been?! Seems like it's been ages since you dropped us a few stories...

Which would be fun... for about 50 seconds. 8^)
No graphics libs needed. Just c++ and X. Have fun
