Also, who wants someone else picking out their produce and meat??
Who picks out your meat or produce when you go to a restaurant though? Maybe the big competitive factor will be the quality of the food you get delivered. If you get mushy lettuce from grocery store A, then you order from store B. Eventually, store A won't give you mushy lettuce anymore.
That does not create a bootable disk, only an NT Repair Disk. If you read the message that pops up when you run that command, it says:
"This utility updates the repair information saved when you installed your system, and creates an Emergency Repair Disk. The repair information is used to recover a bootable system in case of failure. This utility should not be used as a backup tool."
Basically, if your system doesn't boot, you do a reinstall and then use this disk to try to recover your registry entries and user database, etc.
Actually, it was not striped across a set of drives. It was 4 partitions on the same drive. That is a BIG difference. And, I don't think it was unfair for MS to do that. They are using standard features of the OS to optimize it.
I agree that freedom of choice is great, but sometimes the product suffers because of all the work put into porting to so many different operating systems. Maybe they are getting tired of supporting so many different platforms. They might have already had an initiative to move to one platform, and then made the decision to make that platform Linux. I think people would have been more upset if the requirement had been NT or AIX or any other $$$ OS. That is all speculation of course, maybe they are just trying to make money off all of us Linux people!
Linux, FreeBSD, either way it would be cool to see AOL actually use an OpenSource OS. Maybe AOL's reputation will even move up a few steps with geeks. Then again, maybe not...
I would have to say that I agree that this is off topic. Yes it is sad that he is dead, but the whole thing really doesn't fit in here. When I want to know about touchy-feely stuff like this, I just go to "my.yahoo.com". Oh, by the way, Dana Plato (played the daughter on "Different Strokes") died this weekend too, why isn't that posted here?
When I was a kid living in Connecticut, our public library had ZX80s that you could "check out" with your library card and take home. It was fun to play around with, but I had an Apple ][+ at the time so I didn't really need to buy one.
Started with an Apple ][+ with 48k, then an IBM PC (Yes, the original). Then a Zenith laptop with a 20 MB hard drive (Whoopee!) then a AMD 386 DX-40, 486 DX2-66, Pentium 120, and now a AMD K6 300. I think I still liked the Apple the best tho;) Oh, yeah, I also had an Atari "VCS". That's what they called it before they renamed it to the "2600". It even had a "BASIC" cartridge that let you write programs. Couldn't save them though!
Well, it is supported, but not very well. I don't remember which browser it is, but either Netscape 4.x of IE 4.x does not support the transparency in PNGs. That really cuts into the usefulness of them for me.
Actually, I would think it would be the other way around. It would seem to me the number of software releases would be inversely related to the number of times the developer was "doing it". More software releases, less doing it, More doing it, less software releases...
Actually, there is a Perl module called Apache::ASP that allows you to embed Perl code inside an HTML page. It uses the code delimiters like ASP, and even implements some of the ASP objects like the Session, Response, Request, and Application objects. It is actually pretty nice. It does not use the ADO database access that Microsoft uses, but you can use Perl's DBI instead. I think it is really worth taking a look at. I like being able to create an HTML page and then embed bits of Perl in it to get things done.
When I first was reading the article, I thought you would install this VMWare thing on your system first, then install other OS's on top of it. That seems like that would be a better way to go. I don't know a whole lot about this type of stuff, but it just seems like that would be faster?
Well, how is a CPU going to transmit its ID across the Internet? It is not the CPU we should be worried about here, it is the software. Maybe software that transmits the CPU ID across the Internet without the user's knowledge should be banned. But, really what is the big deal? How will you specifically be identified by your CPU ID? Is Intel going to register all purchasers of their CPUs and make that database available to companies? I highly doubt it. I'm sure there are any number of things on your computer that could be "broadcast across the Internet" that people would complain about. What about a list of what software is installed on your system, oh, wait, that's been done already...
What would be the point really? What would it cost for a 10 system cluster? About $10,000 or so dollars according to prices I have seen posted here. Geez, just buy a Dual PII 450MHz and be done with it...
What do Ineed to do to my system to compile?

I am running Slackware 3.6 and I was just wondering if there is anything I need to upgrade in order get the 2.2.x kernel running on my system? I haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to get ready for the final release!

What's even better is when you are working on your American car and some of the bolts are metric and others are english. That's just great fun!

I would say that it shows that the people at Mindcraft are just about as childish as the people who sent those emails in the first place!

Don't burn it!!! Try putting it in the microwave for about 5 seconds or so, label side down. It is quite a bit of fun!!

OK, but what is the definition of "work". Does an idea in his head count as "work"?
You probably installed Pacific High-Tech's version of RedHat Linux a while back. I had 3.0.2 and it had an X install option. Kinda cool.

If it works so great, why aren't you logged in???
Actually, Star Wars does not take place in the future. Remember, at the beginning of each movie:
"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."
It actually takes place in the past...
