Agree,
though it's present solution and has nothing to
offer in terms of future I hope for those that
will never get another chance like this that it will become reality.
BTW, I periodically have ping up to 5 second on my cable connection. But lousy ISP's can ruin anything that looks good on the paper.
Maybe we should use mutating to keep track
of the current distro's history.
I mean, stripping redhat to get just the firewalling, or using it as a base but with 586 compiled binaries to get it faster should at least have some kind of red top of their symbols.
And I insist that SuSe makes a suitable cross of their logo so that it's mostly penguin!
Typosquatting seems OK to me,
the alternative would be that any given trademark
etc. would include permutated characters and similar words.
Any name hard enough to make it possible to spell wrong by _anyone_ , i.e more than 4 characters, is just a bad name for the net.
Well, they wouldn't block your phone.
But your fake DNS server would go down with anything else on that server - IP's don't respond well to abuse right?
Good, point - I blew up a perfectly good game and flash chip myself before buying much cheaper programmable cartridge from hongkong.
If you want to do more than playing games - why dont make something from this cart instead: Gameboy Terminal Server It should suit both hardware, linux and gameboy freaks at the same time. (But don't forget to get a few games or a flashcart to enjoy some entertainment between hacking.)
There are already expensive harddrives in PCMCIA-format, though as someone pointed out their need for 5V power supply makes them useless for simple memory replacement for portable units. Another thing with the 40 mb Clic' drive was that it apart from that needed local processing power to be able to do the controlling to read the disk. Everybody is waiting for something to replace the unneccesary expensive and small flashes, though I don't think mechanical drives will do it. Can anyone fill in with promising optical storage methods?
Is this not a form of cartel ? Is this not a dedicated attempt to replace a large user installed base hardware system ( SDRAM ) with a technically inferior - or at least similar system that provides costs more.
Given a breakthrough in memory technology I guess Intel would go for any techically inferior system if they had a chance to get some of the performance without paying licensing for the real patent. I guess Rambus offered a good deal for Intel to implement it, not some one-off cash-reward that seemed good at the time.
Trading cost for performance is nothing cartel-like, I'd rather say Rambus managed to crack the tough nut to make Intel pay them for an idea. Normally patents is better for protecting a product than to make money since the licensing is a threshold that could hinder it's breakthrough and let in some other competitor like DDR SDRam.
You could transform anything to anything using Perl or Java, why bother with XML in the first place? Alone XML is just a simple syntax to program with, but with XSL it ought include every possible way to program with it doing stuff that really should get you migraines using perl instead.
IMHO I hope for W3 standards to make perl programming obselete for static content casting with lots of ready-to-use XSL examples to use.
Though you might notice that I haven't really gotten into it myself, but the XML syntax with all those BRA, SLASH, KET's just is to much to hack with - they should have stuck with some wierdo TEX all char's are active syntax instead : )
If you're big enough you can get a mobile company to put up a cell at your site - giving you equal or lower prices than hard lines when you stay in that cell. Then they count on taking back the investment when people are on the road and have to pay to normal prices.
This of course will only work if the mobile and the regular phone company isn't the same one.
SuSE must have taken in account the possibility of running 1000's of Linux instances on every installed S/390 to decide if there would be enough users to make a port worthwhile.
If you allocate the equivalent of a c64 to each user, S/390 might very well surpass the i386 world Linux userbase.
I challenge you all to download the ISO in the name of Discordia. Fnord
The case was the CoS ''Bible which was exhibited at office since it was a proof in an ongoing trial.
Before they managed to withdraw that copy with no legal grounds the Company had it's members reading the bible non-stop during office hours to keep others from getting to it.
A good idea might be to print your version of the bible snatched from the net and put it up on Ebay, if you could get the CoS members to always be the highest bidder to keep the document from reaching the public you could get a small fortune.
Well, Crusoe would be the closest a Pentium you'll get into a handheld considering powerdrain. And they did demonstrate Quake on it...
Seriously, I doubt any such project would even get close to put their hands on color TFT's competing with business pda's. If you can't afford a PDA that can play quake, you'd better go for a console with dedicated hardware though not PC games.
But if it existed you could run linux on it - and building beowulf clusters using the wavelan
It never keeps connected more than 5 minutes in a row. If noone in the Linux community cares (about anything else than games) I have to doubt that it could be trusted at all, somebody must have had this problem. And you can't run homebrew ICQ clients on a dedicated firewall, stupid.
Pretty soon the fridge will have enough power to browse the web - but where are you going to encode your home video dvd's etc. You wouldn't want a big cube under your desk it would either be in the basement or distributed around the house.
Maybe an thin beowulf client will get into the kernel (I'm not into the technique) and linux will be the answer, or Micro$ofts research on distributed computing will make it.
Whatever the future holds take care of the good thing in UN*X like X-windows on the server in the cellar and don't let fancy desktops bring in anything that binds you to your machine instead of being free to grab any spare resource on the network.
BTW. Any expert out there know how I can start a shell session on my server, log out of my X-terminal without quitting it and be able to check out the progress next time I logon.
Supports computer-computer links (as opposed to USB) If it's built in and you have only one network card, why not?. With legacy systems the closest you get is a laplink cable:) I agree on that a beowulf cluster on computers with Firewire onboard would be a nice thing. The only sad thing is that it isn't built in very often.
I'd call lynx a mature util for visually impaired. A text shell is also very mature and more suitable than any graphical interfaced OS'es. What if it would really be a non-graphical operating system, that would make more sense than any windows extension. I want a wearable computer without screen that talks to me!

If you've got a flash plugin to your browser you could aswell consider Cult3D
They even try to support the other OS. Thumbs up!

Combine cool Nitrogen with burning Hydrogen and you will get an even more efficient engine, and probably a lot of NH3 and NOx as a by-effect.

Reinventing the wheel is also a bad thingTM

Crackers will be at it in no-time, right - would you pay if the money went straigth to DVD licensing anyway.
Businesses will never go wireless,

How do I remove a slashdot article which I have to destroy since I cannot read it - damn those disclaimers.

What's the copper pipe in Dell Latitude containing? Is it just a thermal conductor.
