what Outlook bug? Last I checked, there were more bugs in Outlook than lines of code in Mozilla Mail
Samba is coded to be a "bug for bug" clone of what Microsoft now calls CIFS OpenWindows will probably only clone bugs that are necessary for application compatibility.
Announcing GNU Gestapo Now, an oppressive para-military force is available from the Free Software Foundation that will change software development forever. GNU Gestapo shows up at software companies and enforces the development of good programs for free Operating Systems like GNU/Linux, GNU/Hurd, and FreeBSD.
This is what I find as far as stability goes: Windows 98 is stable enough to go for hours without a restart Win2k is stable enough to go for days without a restart Linux is stable enough to go for months without a restart
One of the big reasons why windows is unstable and linux is very stable is that windows has a number of very bad third party binary only drivers, and linux has few if any.
I read your bio you confuse Communism with the governments of Russia, China, and Cuba
The bourgeoisie were not the middle class There was no middle class
Intellectual property has served its purpose Clinging to it any longer can only be harmful
Don't be scared to believe that other systems could work, that they may even better than the current one
Do not confuse law with morality. Just because current laws say record companies have the right to own the music of some dead guy does not mean it is immoral to not allow this or any number of other things.
Actually, OpenNap is the name of an open source Napster Protocol *Server* Many (all?) of these servers run OpenNap, and some of them have opennap in the name like opennap.cx and opennap.squidcafe.com bitchx.dimension6.com seems to be one of the bigger ones If you run Helix Gnome like me, you already have gnapster installed, and can choose from a number of OpenNap servers. Some of these servers are just as large as the official napster servers. If I'm not mistaken, Napster is not like an IRC network: the servers are not interlinked. If you are on one you don't see mp3s from those connected to a different server. There are many official napster servers that the client connects to.
What does all this mean you say? It means that if you have a program that will let you access other servers, you should be able to get as diverse a collection of music as before, as well as the ability to try another server when you don't see what you are looking for.
Engineering, can we outfit the deflector shield to make goat porn? We can do it, but it'll take 3 weeks.... You have 12 minutes O.K. then send an away team to the planet. that always helps somehow.
1. Because of its frequent misuse, using the word and at the beginning of a sentence is not widely understood. For those of you who didn't realize, the previous post illustrates how to start a sentence with the word and or the word but. This post of course illustrates how to start a sentence with the word Because or the word Opprobrium
2."best damn grammar nazi you can be" come on people - it's funny
3. isn't that -infinite- improbability drive?
4. Opprobrium incurred by failing to be a good grammar nazi is unfortunately greater than that of those who fail to produce an infinite improbability drive or at least a manned mars mission after so many years whilst Star Wars technology continues to flow freely. (and I do mean Star Wars, not Star Trek. Think Ronald Reagan)
you must mean soul I usually wear out my soles pretty quickly and would be happy to give the whole shoe to the MPAA in exchange for a good movie *flips to the University movie channel* hey, Interview with the Vampire is on...
I found arachne to be most excellent it did most pages well enough and *actually worked on a 386* no kidding it was pretty fast too with a ethernet connection..
I agree. However, Apple is putting an interesting spin on their new products On their web page, they mention their new monitor cables carry power, the video signal, and USB They say that this is a first Actually, my NeXT Station is like this, and it was made 10 years ago The Monitor cable is for power, display, sound, keyboard, and mouse The Quartz Display uses display postscript, also a feature of my NeXT system This list goes on and on
I have begun to think of MacOS X as OpenStep 5, And the new cubes, well, they're the new cubes This time without the magnesium case
The thing is, anyone who would care about NeXT systems that would be interested is already excited about MacOS X and even the cubes Mac people don't want to hear that the new stuff is actually old stuff Apple is revamping They want to believe that Apple is coming up with all new stuff and leaving windows behind In truth, they are leaving windows behind with what should have been a windows killer 10 years ago
I am interested in this myself As I see it: you need a big rack mount case Motherboard: $140 2 Celeron processors: $200 64MB Ram: $70 Network Card + port on Hub. 100Mbit: $40 per unit
I assume they network boot a mosix kernel (linux with a clustering patch) And no hard drives in the systems because that's done with NFS So somewhere in the $400 - $500 per GigaHertz of Celeron Processing power Not bad at all, but you're still better off with a mainframe (probably an older used one) if you were planning on setting up more than a half dozen or so together
and what's wrong with Britney Spears' tits? seriously though, they would do well to make the card as cool as possible If I could get a card that would compress and decompress Mpeg I/II and AAC, and do seti the rest of the time, I would be willing to spend up to the cost of another processor and a multiprocessor board.
MacOS X is not unlike FreeBSD on the inside It's based on NeXT Step Which is in turn based on BSD FreeBSD is based on 4.4 BSD of course I hear they borrowed FreeBSD code as well If I had a lot of money, I'd get a cube with MacOS X NeXT Step is *good* I probably wouldn't buy this card though Don't get me wrong, I am all about SETI, and the space program in general But for my money, I want processor power I can use for other stuff as well

Right
but even that's a real bitch
What do you use for Secure Shell?
The free programs that are available don't seem to work very well if at all.
I'm certainly not going to *buy* Secure Shell
Try Mandrake :)
OpenWindows will be based on the FreeDOS kernel at first.
DOS programs will run in OpenWindows.
ReactOS is an NT clone and will therefore generally not run DOS programs.
They will both be working with the Wine people once they are ready to implement the API
This is what I find as far as stability goes:

Is this going to be like the domain names race?
Everyone claims shapes that are of value and then sells them later for a huge profit?
In that case, I want the rights to spheres, half-spheres, dodecahedrons and pyramids.
Maybe if I get the rights to the torus, I can then take bids from Shipleys, Crispy Creme, and Duncan's.

I think the out put of those commands if from Star Trek Voyager.....

Actually, since they don't have representation in congress, Canada is classified as a territory.
They also consider the Queen of England to be their queen and put her on the money

Not bad at all, but you're still better off with a mainframe (probably an older used one) if you were planning on setting up more than a half dozen or so together
you aren't doing it at high enough resolution
and what's wrong with Britney Spears' tits?
seriously though, they would do well to make the card as cool as possible

MacOS X is not unlike FreeBSD on the inside
It's based on NeXT Step
Which is in turn based on BSD
FreeBSD is based on 4.4 BSD of course
I hear they borrowed FreeBSD code as well
If I had a lot of money, I'd get a cube with MacOS X
NeXT Step is *good*
I probably wouldn't buy this card though

Actually, I invented the internet
and movies
also goat cheese
(I'm a little embarrased about the goat cheese; not one of my better creations)
soon w'ell find out that the Lumiere brothers invented the stove, and not Ben Franklin like we thought
I need a wireless modem for my palmpilot
so I can stream in class
Print is Dead
Telephone is Dead
Mail is Dead
I'm not sure about houses
battleground??
