You don't have to wait.. Seriously. If you haven't tried Licorys yet, try it! It's awesome. Not for me, but it's awesome. You don't have to try it out so that you will use it, but so that you can honestly recommend it to unix newbies. most newbiew would be happy with Licorys, and it is your responsibility as a friend to share the wealth.
I like the way mandrake handles the various server options. Basically when you install Apache, sshd, telnetd, or whatever, it says:
While there are no known security holes now, it is more dangerous running all these on your computer. are you really sure you want to do this? don't say i didn't warn you!
I would lov to have a car with a joystive instead of a steering wheel. In fact, I have often thought about converting my steering wheel to a joystick. I would buy a car just for this feature.
of course, i am also browsing slashdot on a saturday morning...
The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. Moore predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future. In subsequent years, the pace slowed down a bit, but data density has doubled approximately every 18 months, and this is the current definition of Moore's Law, which Moore himself has blessed. Most experts, including Moore himself, expect Moore's Law to hold for at least another two decades.
I know your post was a joke, but refering to all the comments we see with obscure anagrams: does anyone else see the stupidity AND redundancy of using an obscure anagram, then describing the anagram immidiately after?
For instance, TIABOSL (This is a bunch of stupid letters).
If you need to describe it, you may as well not put your anagram letters down - chances are we won't remember them, and you are just doing more work for no reason at all.
My apolgies to Ice Cube. Does this thread remind any one else of Micahel in the begininng of the movie Office Space when he is playing rap music in his car?
and you, sir, are ignoring the fact that Microsoft is more powerful now than it used to be back in the Xenix and MSX days. Now, they can be a serious threat in any market due to their vast personnel and monitary resrouces. Times have changed, and bringing in examples like Xenix simply doesn't apply. This is a different Microsoft.
This is true, and I'm sure is has some effect on sales, but really it doesn't matter.
How many of Microsoft's first products have been losers?
Quite a few. Remember the first time you tried IE? Remember the first time you tried Windows? Remember the first NT server you had to admin? You always thought there had to be a better way.
Microsoft is notorious, IMHO, for releasing losers that don't do well initially. It is their endurance that keeps them up there. They have the resources and can keep throwing money at something till it becomes a decent project, while other companies would have said, "Well, we tried to get into this market, but it didn't work. Let's not waste even more of our money..."
Instead, Microsoft is determined to be a player, regardless of what it costs - for they know in the long run they will have a good product that will increase market share and make money. Once they get to that point, they want to control the market.
So, look beyond the X-Box and think about the future... The X-box may not be it, but you can guaran-damn-tee that it does not stop here for Microsoft.
oh, don't give me this bull shit. if you can afford to buy a $35,000 SUV, you have other options. for instance, you could:
a) buy a used SUV for $25,000 and buy a $10,000 commuter car
b) buy a slightly smaller SUV
c) 1000 other options...
these people drive brand new SUVs because they want to, not because they can't afford anything else. your argument is utter bullshit. There are many possibilities if they wanted another option.
I think semi tractors are less fuel efficient, but at least that is because they haul some major cargo.: )
I don't know how many times I have seen a big SUV, like an excursion, etc, and there is just one woman in the drivers seat - the whole rest of the damn thing is empty.
it bothers me to see people so wasteful, but america will stop being so wasteful when it is forced to be. that is also when we will make a REAL effort to alternative transportation. when we HAVE to.
The sad thing is, they probably could do that and get away with it. do YOU keep track of YOUR bandwidth? hell no! what's next? bandwidth meters on the sides of our houses that a guy comes and checks every month?
if this is what broadband becomes, i'm going back to my trusty ISA modem. it never let me down.
Don't forget HPUX. It has been 64-bit for several years now...

why, in my day we didn't have fancy-schmancy CPU's, we built our own from schematics that we thought up ourselves! And we didn't have "cables" either! we had to mine iron ore from rocks and create our own!
and we didn't have any of those damn "drives" either to read those fancy compact discs, neither! we made our own punchcards from the daily newspaper!
and don't get me started on cooling! we did have no fans to cool our system for us, no sir! we had to have our family members take turns blowing in the case to keep things cool. and that was on a good day!

HUNDREDS of images? Hah! I will notify the internet and get things changed for you. Alternatively, you could:
Slashdot Mirror
haha! moderators, mod this up! everytime i see the DVD-A acronmym I always think of something else... an obscure reference from Orgamzo...
There is:

"My new IBM hard drive has more storage space than my old drive, and is also physically smaller! w00t!"
hey! i said i DON'T have a problem!
haha. That's what I was thinking the whole time reading the review.
then i got a little sad as I realised that he may not have his job anymore...

Not to mention the wireless antenna built in to the iBook...(sorry, I am a proud and happy iBook owner running OS X) :)

Moore's Law has to do with transistor count. Nothing else.
And while a courier modem will cost a bunch of dough, $300 is excessive. You can usually get a nice extermal v.whatever modem for $100 or under.
Isn't your girlfriend SUPPOSED to have a hole?

i love that shit.
I am certainly not going to disagree with you there.... Bob definatley was a loser. Always was, always will be!
I am not saying there have been NO losers, but they have not had that many losers in the long run when they put in a lot of effort and money.

He is indeed correct. X is a piece of cake to install. I just ran the setup file and it did every for me, and boom, X was installed.

1) Get rid of your 14.4k and get broadband.
2) Get more RAM.
