    Exactly. Right now I'm wondering if I should go with the $6000 wireless to get my friend's dorm connected to ours, or just buy a 37 inch monitor.

  5. Linux Winning - will it hurt you? on More Mission-Critical Linux · · Score: 2

    Two things - the article said, near the end, that they were able to hire one less technician because Linux never failed them. Hmmm. If Linux takes over, then there are going to be some techs out of business (mostly MSCE's, but still....) Next - WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE WINDOWS 2000. Nothing else is going to give use Linux users a sea of free hardware - PII MINIMUM for W2K. I can still run Linux fine on a Pentium 233 MMX with a 4 gig HD - but those will be almost free after W2k comes out.
    Just some thoughts..........

  6. Re:Oh, is that it? on Apple announces the G4 · · Score: 1

    Simple. Use the wireless capabilities of the G$ to download LinuxPPC and your favorite x86 version and install. In an hour you got a PIII600 with Linux and a G$ with Linux. Then run rc5des and all is well.

    Why doesn't someone at linux.org or somewhere contact a key manufacturer and make Penguin Keys? They could easily replace the WinKeys, and who cares if they do nothing but put a cute full color penguin on your keyboard?

  14. Re:Mandrake kinda broken? on Linux-Mandrake best product of the year @ LWCE · · Score: 1

    I know (part of the reasons for this). Many of the Mandrake programs are designed to give you Pretty Colors (TM). For example, there is a wrapper for gcc (colorizegcc or something like that) which colorizes the error messages. These extra color sequences probably cause some other wrappers to go nuts. Also, it doesn't come with EGCS, but instead cometh with the PGCC.

    There is not much evidence for evolution. Perhaps if one reads "Darwin's Black Box" one might get a better understanding of the numbers involved in "evolution by change". Basically it says that in a billion years monkeys with sand can make PIII 500's with linux. Doesn't happen

  18. Re:Finally the chance to abolish WINS on CNN on Common Name Resolution Protocol · · Score: 1

    WINS is basically a cheesy form of DNS for windows If you double click network neighborhood, windows sends a message out to your subnet saying "Who Are You?". And the machines respons As you can guess, this is horribly inefficent. WINS allows one machine (IE your Samba Server) to respond to the questions about name -> ip resolution. It also can be used to allow multiple subnet browsing.
    Now does anyone know how to make dhcpd under linux tell windows machines where the wins server is?
    My guess is it's something like
    option wins {172.16.0.1} ....

    This is exactly what I have experienced. I used to drive to school, and there was one place where the traffic slowed down *just* before I had to exit. By doing the buffer thing (leaving space before me), and helping the merging traffic, I at least always thought I got through faster.

    Though this may be true for COMMERCIAL software (IE who wants to call the new super release 2000.0b.3 SE "beta" when it's on the store shelves), it doesn't for GNU/BSD/Free software. There beta actually still means something. (Of course I won't have to mention that BETA IBM serveraid drivers allowed for a machine with more uptime and less, ahhh, "thunderstorms" than that W2K machine. Anyone know the hardware stats on that sucker?
