Wait until I get some photos of my volkswagen bug running a 24 node beowulf cluster. Sure, is pretty useless because only the driver can get inside, and I dont have a valid reason for a cluster like this, so I'm running multiple instances of the seti@home client on this baby. My bug is going to find intelligent life in outer space!
I dont think Jobs has something to do because the NeXTStep machines were really noisy. In fact if I remember correctly there was a section in some NeXTStep FAQ on how to silence you NeXTCube's fan and hard disk.
If there's a relation in hardware between NeXT and the new Mac's is bad mouses. The NeXT mouse was heavy as a rock and very unusable, like a soap bar, and the newer mac's hockey puck for a mouse isn't a good choice either.
At least you can see goverment sites on Mexico with.gob.mx, but it was decided that.edu.mx was not to adapted by our country's NIC for some strange reason
GEOS is (apparently) the only 8-bit GUI operating system being sold, and the only 8-bit GUI that is a success. Over 1.6 million copies of GEOS were sold by Berkeley Softworks, or came bundled with new Commodore 64s and 128s. The GEOS operating system was first sold in 1986; the last version, GEOS 2.0, was released in 1988. GEOS is very remarkable, especially considering the hardware it was written for. The GEOS deskTop is document-oriented, and allowed drag-and-drop file printing, deleting, and copying. (Windows did not offer drag-and-drop file printing until a latter date with Windows 3.1; and did not offer drag-and-drop file deleting until Windows 95! Macintosh did not offer drag-and drop printing until a latter date with System 7.5!) While the PCs being sold today have multi-megabytes of disk space and RAM, GEOS ran in 64K of RAM from a single 170K floppy disk drive! ------------------------------------------------ The above is quouted from the following sites, you can check out some screenshots there: http://www.pernet.net/~james1/cbm_geos/intro.htm http://www.zimmers.net/geos/
If you were the ones who decided to do such a thing as to threaten your own fans instead of your lawyers, let me ask you just how much money you need to make, how much is enough for you guys ?
Art ? Yes Metallica really did make art in their music, but Metallica died after "..And Justice for All". The band who released the black album and the following ones later is another band than maybe should call itself Alternallica or something.
Qué onda Miguel. Since you cleary point it out frequently, a lot of the ideas used to create GNOME and its apps are taken from other products and other plataforms, usually from this company based in Redmond, which I think is not that bad, since some great GNOME apps are based on that similarity (gnumeric and evolution).
But I don't see any effort been focused on creating easy programming tools for GNOME other than Glade, and Glade is far from being as easy to use as other tools. Sure, it beats doing the GUI by hand, but..........
Are there any efforts out there to create a similar tool to program under GNOME other than Glade ?
Dont you think that GNOME needs more developing tools to be more atractive to programmers, so you can guarantee a increasing number of developers for GNOME and therefore killer apps ?
There's a joke around about Microsoft tools been crack to programmers because when you use them it feels so good and great, but they make you stupid because they are so easy to use so you forget how to program the old fashion way.
Miguel, we need crack, but GNOME addictive crack.
Bueno, saludos, y a ver cuando le caes de nuevo a Monterrey.
Banning Napster is NOT censorship. In my campus, ITESM Monterrey, was recently banned because I took about 45% of the total bandwidth, and we have www2 down here.
Now the network works a lot faster and I also think that any campus network should be used for academic purposes, not for people who are looking to increase their collection of pirated MP3's.
There is a spanish site known as "Barrapunto" (spanish translation for/. ) which also posts news about Linux, computers and technology. You can check it out here.. Personally I think is a great idea to let some web site to have their foreign language counterparts. As a Mexican, I can tell you is very dificult to find a really good web site (like./ ) in Spanish. Now it is a fact spanish is more spoken in the world than English, and most probably Chinese and Russian are more spoken than spanish. This is a great oportunity for web sites to reach more and more people around the world.
While it is true that the US is propably the world's biggest user of online services, the rest of the world is catching up really fast. More fiber optics, satellites, and high speed digital networks are been installed and/or in the process of been install as we speak (read?) and there will be one moment in the future where th Internet will be as common as a the phone network or as the public electrical infrastructure. Internet in the 90's has been like radio was in the 20's-30's .
The 90's where the decade the information era arrived to our homes and small offices, not as an isolated event, but as a global phenomenon that changed most of our activities of daily life. So it is totally acceptable that this translated web sites will keep "popping" up every time, because the Internet is a world wide communications network, not a US only priviledge.
I dont really know *a lot* about networking standars, but one thing is true about the US, it always deploys as "standard" an inferior technology. While the rest of the world uses European standars for hign capacity transmision lines, for example, the E1 and the E3, and the US implements the T1 and the T3 which are slower than their european counterparts. And I am not an european, I live in Mexico and we use the european standars here.
Another example and a very recent one is the declaration of one of Nokias Top execute's about that cellular phone that was released to the public in Finland or Sweden which let you surf the web using new HDTV signals. They said they never released to the us public 'cause the technology the US implemented in HDTV was inferior to the european one, but then again it was the cheapest one.
I think this goes waaaaaay back to SNA and the OSI network model, maybe that's just too many speculation...
..what the heck the Slashdot effect is. Poor guy, I guess tomorrow his email server will be down because of the slashdot effect. I think it will be pretty interesting if the BBC said something about this notorious phenomenon.
..is that, I once before heard the BBC in radio down there in Europe, and I did not understand a word. I'm used too much to american english that I would prefer a text transcript of the article.
Hey, If had a scanned picture of some Nestlé Quik (you know, that powder you put on milk so it taste like chocolate) boxes sold in México with a "bundled" MS Internet Explorer CD I think you'll reconsider that comment.
Man I am so damm pissed about that and I can't just write what I feel about it. It just sucks. I really did feel Visio was a pretty good reason to use Windoze cause it was a really nice and useful piece of software. And it does suck because Microsoft strategy with companies that made more succesful software than theirs is:
1) Beat them with a new product, add a really big, impressive publicity campaign based on crappy vaporware, force hardware manufactures to bundle the software and all this using unethical business tactics.
2) If that did not made it, buy the company and then close it down. Im not shure but I think that's what happened with Intuit after MS Money lost the battle against their software, even when they gave it away free.That's they way it has been and I am sorry to predict that will be what will happen to Visio.
I am really starting to believe Bill Gates is the Antichrist or at least something alike. If I recall, his "mission in life" is "..to put a computer in every home..", but with an attitude like that, I think he should add "..with really bad and crappy software that I think you deserve, so you suffer everytime you want to do your job, your homework, to have a little fun playing a game, to find something on the net, everytime my software and I will be there to make shure you suffer and to make shure you don't do what you have to do in time and in a easy way. We wont let you" . He is truly a prophet from hell.
BILL PLEASE IF YOU ARE READING BY ANY CHANCE THIS, STOP DOING THAT!, LEAVE THE INDUSTRY ALONE!!, ENOUGH DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE!!! HOW MANY MORE MONEY DO YOU NEED!!! RETIRE!!!! OK WE GET IT, YOU WON !! GO HAVE FUN, TAKE A PERMANENT VACATION AND WE'LL PROMISE WE WILL STOP TROWING PIES TO YOUR FACE!!!!
The Windoze Notes Client is the only thing stopping me right now from becoming a 100% linux user. I have just tried to ran it with Wine, but it gets kind of slow.
Anyway, I was wondering, is there anybody out there who has tried the Notes Client with wmware ? how does it runs compared to using Wine ?
