I have moved into the Valley since the last 3 years and this was the first time that I felt a shake. It was scary enough for me. I live smack in the middle of the Valley in Mountain View.
On the lighter side of things, I wish our economy was even close to something like this.:)
I would completely agree with you. The first time I tried KOffice (few months ago), I was impressed with what they have done so far. Finally I could type a professional looking letter on *n*x platforms. I say, keep up the good work!
You remind me of an incident that left me quite disgusted. The entire "customer relationship management revolution" just said one thing - take care of what your customer wants. That is something my dad could have told everyone with his small-tailoring-shop work experience.
I didn't know someone was still reading this story. Anyway, two things:
a) What's a PGA?
b) I thought it already had the PCI (or is the PCI "bridge" different than "PCI"? Here is what I know - the "PCI" is basically a bus (set of wires:)) "driven" by a controller-like chip that interfaces with the main processor and maybe other devices as well. Is this correct?
The host's first driver playing read-write for buffered FS data like a overglorified HDC so the host didn't have to know about the FS, and the card providing raw data to the host's (logically) second driver from a firmware cheat like another giant HDC, but doing it directly from a read handed to it by the host...
Much of the second part did not make too much sense to me. Anyway, the question I want to ask you is - have you worked with these things (old or the new one)? Can you translate the above in plain English? Thanks.
I don't understand one thing - isn't the API
(Application Programming Interface)
supposed to be public? If it is not
public, then how is it called an
Interface?
Am I missing something here? BTW, I think RMS
is right in this case.
Anybody familiar with Robert Pirsig's work? He does have quite a lot of interesting thoughts on this topic. Maybe this will help. Personally, I'm just waiting for my mid-life crisis so that I can start the above-mentioned revolution!:-)

Wow, it just happened to me. Got it's own power-supply wires stuck between the fins (sp?). It was a radial fan.
I ordered a new one from www.quietpc.com. Let's see how that one works. I'm not sure if my CPU got fried or not. Sigh.

So, if I understand correctly, even with a PCI based IDE/SCSI controller (assuming I can rig everything together), it will not work?
Hello all, I can't sell them because they are office property!
