Anyone remember their Acrobat-style portable-document clone, Envoy?
Ugh, don't remind me. The labs for one of my engineering classes were in Envoy. I had a bitch of a time actually finding a downloadable copy of the viewer. pdf's please!
It would be More work and much slower to have two parts of the kernel, one a kerel to boot and be small, Yet still know how to read a disk, operate on all known disk io cards, be able to talk to all types of harddrives, and speak a few filesystem formats, just so that it can read a silly 1mb kernel off of the disk someplace whos job its suppost to be to do all of that anyway.
That's what grub does, it knows filesystems (including reisersfs), will read off partitions > 8M and supports network booting. And it's not slow at all.
I don't know what OpenBSD does, but in Debian, every package's source is distributed in two files - the original upstream version and a diff of everything changed in the Debian release (even if it's only the Debian build scripts).
In addition, every packages has a Debian.changelog that should have information about what changes have been added in the Debian version.
Stop Post- You're not evil. You're incompetent. I just did a search for 'Lesbian' and it returned '9 sites found for sappho'. You are maintaning state information. But only because your back-end software sucks harder than raw vacuum. All I have to say is 'open the fucking code. You need the help badly'.
Make sure you go back to the main page to do a new search, otherwise you will just be refining your old search results. I.e., search for sappho:
10 sites found for 'sappho'
then enter lesbian in the box "refine this search"
I'd like to ask RMS to either turn out the Hurd very soon, or scrap it. I'm tired of hearing about all it's promise and seeing it's barely able to walk on its own.
I agree. All these selfish people wasting time on the Hurd. What kind of world do we live in where irresponsible people can work on the project they chose? Clearly all this Hurd nonsense must be what has held back the 2.4 Linux release. For shame!
Well, to most ISP refers to supply one with an internet connection. I can't think of anyplace that calls itself an ISP without doing that (be it via modem, dsl, broadband etc.), but there are ISPs that don't offer hosting.
Anyway, from your post it seemed to me you were looking for any listings at all. Regardless, I don't see anything wrong with looking for personal testimonies from people who have done this sort of thing in the past.
And searching for 'free' is probably a waste of time - you'll get lots of mishits ("1 free month of service with subscription!" etc.) and any place that is truly free (for anyone) will probably not be able to give you what you want.
As an example of what frequently occurs try setting up an internet connection. Once you get something wrong, or press Enter by mistake, you can't recover until after installation is done.
I still don't see what you mean. By the internet connection, do you mean the general network connection? I just did an install and it did that part before the first reboot and I was free to go back and change it.
Here's something I was wondering...
Chinese character (or whatever) URLs would actually be sent over the line in unicode or something, correct? Then would there possibly be a way for a user without the proper language character set support to type in (or link to) the raw unicode version?
They (*gasp*) actually do have reasons. And remember, this isn't a contest - "What would be the coolest new tld". There are proposals from individual companies to be based on their merits.
ICANN did not say they disagree with the idea behind.kids and.xxx. They said they had reservations about the ability of the particular companies to implement and manage them _successfully_, both in regards to technical work and content management.
But please, don't take my word for it, get it from the source...
This is NUTS. The two MOST needed TLD's are.kids and.xxx/.porn..
I DO NOT understand their logic at all. This is surely not the brightest thing for them to do, they must be trying to keep their corporate sponsors (donations, fees, etc.) happy for now.
Why don't you go to ICANN's site and read why... Here's a good quote about the issue:
The absence of a clearly defined and globally diverse policy-making and policy-enforcing mechanism for a content-restrictive TLD is particularly troubling where, as here, there are such great divergences among communities, faiths, cultures, and individuals over the correct definition of what is and is not appropriate content for children.
Other potential concerns about content-restrictive TLDs include the difficulty of applying and enforcing content restrictions to email, chat, newsgroups, instant messaging, and other potential uses of the DNS beyond the World Wide Web.
Short answer - Who says what is acceptable or not, how do you enforce it, what is the procedure for resolving disputes. ICANN feels of all the proposals, none of them have provided effective plans for sufficiently addressing all the issues.
Well ya, I'm not saying there's no technologies for small size mass storage... just that given a technology with storage size A on a normal disc, it does not necessarily follow that you could adapt it to a tenth of the size with storage A/10 or so.
The new disk of Ph.D. Pavel is like a regular CD but slightly thicker. It is 10 mm wide and it 120 mm in diameter; but it becomes a
tridimensional optical memory, multi-layer, which means, more specifically, that one can record, at atomic level, on... 10,000 layers and it has a recording capacity of 10,000 Gigabytes!
An eloquent comparison which any expert can understand: if at the Library of the Romanian Academy, one should record the 1.6 million books and all the other printings, one should
need about 80,000 regular CDs; if everything is recorded on Hyper CD - ROM, then only five CDs are enough! This disk invented by the Romanian Pavel would have a longer lifetime,
at least 5,000 years, the stocked memory can never be lost - one knows that a magnetic CD loses the information after 2-5 years!
Heh, now talk about your hyperbole...
Yes, I'd love it if this were true too, but I highly highly doubt it (and even if so, not for years).
Just because they could make the media smaller and still hold a relatively obscene amount of data does not mean they can necessarily make the reader correspondingly smaller...
Even if you have a really small CD I doubt you could make a reader the size of a Palm (at least for any reasonable sum of money).

That'd be funny if it actually made sense. Corel is based off of Debian.

Are you kidding? Common sense has no place in DragonballZ...

I'd rather have Stephenson devoting his time to novels than a bi-weekly weblog column...
Seriously though...
If the fugu has nearly all of the genes humans do, could this be a backdoor around patents related to the human genome?

I can't imagine a 0.13 micron chip. Packaging must be a nightmare.
Not really. All you need is a bag of your regular ~3-7 cm chips and a large mallet...

Wow, thanks a crapload for that link... I had no idea they gave so many away. I just won a TiVo from the contest, this really makes my day. Thanks!

First off, why are you asking for an ISP? You need a web hosting company...
Anyway, this took about 5 seconds:
Yahoo Search: "non-profit" and "hosting"
And for an encore...
Google Search
IMNSHO = In my not-so-humble opinion
Wow, this is the first time I've seen a "Mod this up" comments scored higher than the comment it was referring to...
I'd have to agree. I've found Gnutella to be practically useless for months now. Ah well, it wasn't bad when it started...

Like I said before in the last ICANN article, why don't you go to ICANN's site and read why the .kids and .xxx applications were rejected.
.kids and .xxx. They said they had reservations about the ability of the particular companies to implement and manage them _successfully_, both in regards to technical work and content management.

But please, don't take my word for it, get it from the source...
Allow me to play the cynic for a moment...
So, Intel has studied the problem and determined the answer is "We need faster processors". Is anyone surprised?
This is NUTS. The two MOST needed TLD's are .kids and .xxx/.porn..
