  1. Anybody remember... on MenuetOS Debuts · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Anybody remember GEOS?

    That's another OS that was written entirely in assembly... by the time they finished, Windows had ALL of the marketshare...

  2. Whoa... on Microsoft Releases Windows CE 3.0 Source · · Score: 1

    This is interesting news, indeed... has anyone looked at the source yet?

  3. Re:Machrone's Law? on Terabyte File Server for $5,000 · · Score: 1

    http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/content/pcwk/1439/pcwk00 03.html

    There was a space imbedded in the last link given...

  4. Re:Machrone's Law? on Terabyte File Server for $5,000 · · Score: 1

    http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/content/pcwk/1439/pcwk00 03.html Machrone's Law is mentioned at the top of this article...

  5. Re:Wow! on NetBSD Ported to AMD x86-64 (Sledgehammer) · · Score: 1

    So did Bill Gates when he wrote a version of BASIC for the Altair 8800 when it wasn't being sold yet... it ran in a "simulater" of the Altair on a minicomputer (that belonged to a university).

  6. Just my two cents... ICQPhone works pretty good.. on Voice Over IP for Linux Games? · · Score: 1

    If only Miranda America Online would just port a version of ICQ for Linux, that includes ICQPhone, it would be something that Linux users would want to use...

    I've tried both Roger Wilco and Battletech.. and ICQPhone has them both beat pretty good... it sounds like I'm using a regular phone with ICQPhone.

  7. Re:Quick! on Surfing With Your Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    whoops, now I look like a fool... If I had followed that AC's link, it was a slashdot article about browsers for NeXT..

  8. Re:Quick! on Surfing With Your Commodore 64 · · Score: 2

    Umm... NeXT was the very first platform to have a world wide web client...

  9. Idea for the government to do to Steve Ballmer on Ballmer Calls Linux "A Cancer" · · Score: 1

    Put an electronic dog collar around Steve Ballmar's neck.. and if he does something wrong, ZAP THE SONUVABITCH!! "Just a reminder that you're doing something wrong..."

  10. Re:Wow. What a concept! on Time Warner Says Employees Must Use AOL Mail · · Score: 1

    You do know there is a version of Windows NT for the motorola, don't you? Granted, it's an old version of NT (4.0 is the latest version, I think...), but it is a Microsoft operating system..

  11. Re:Just thought I'd point out... on Windows 2000 Source Code Gets (A Few) More Eyes · · Score: 1

    More like a marketing success and a technological failure.... especially when said operating system is modified beyound it's original specifications.

  12. Just thought I'd point out... on Windows 2000 Source Code Gets (A Few) More Eyes · · Score: 2

    the whole "more eyes are better" concept falls apart when the average intellengence of these eyes are just that... average. I'd rather have a fewer set of eyes where the IQ is higher.. the source code tends to have a better architechure this way.

    I guess I'm thinking of the difference between Linux and BSD.

  13. Re:I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but... on Alan Cox on a Chip · · Score: 1

    Not really... might be interesting to see if NVidia would care about getting a video card that's almost three years old to work better on Widnows 2000...

  14. Re:I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but... on Alan Cox on a Chip · · Score: 1

    Hate to point it out but I've been the blue screen of death in Windows 2000... specifically when I use this TNT card with drivers that I downloaded from NVIDIA's website.. and I press the Windows key when I'm in a game of Quake 3 Arena... it goes into a blue screen of death/instant reboot...

  15. Source Code for Windows 95/98 is actually... on The Apollo 11 Guidance Computer · · Score: 1

    Heh, I predict that Microsoft will announce that the source code to Windows is based on the Apollo 13 code... it avoids crashing by virtue of really clever MSCE guys..

  16. ISAPI vs. CGI... on Mozilla.org Releases Protozilla · · Score: 1

    I hate to be the lone Windows 2000 troll, but... What about ISAPI? Yeah, yeah, I know, it's conceptually more insecure, could possibly "crash" the server with bad code, but.. I think it runs faster because it doesn't have to continuosly load and unload itself everytime a new request is made... it's basically a DLL that stays in memory. Any language that can compile to a DLL can be used to develop ISAPI (such as Borland Delphi).. Is there an equivalent to ISAPI on the Linux platform??

  17. Re:Netscape fans left out? on Want To Playtest An Xbox? · · Score: 1

    Umm, yeah.. it's called "Quake".. as in the first Quake game that id software released.

    I think "Doom" is another one...

  18. Hmmmm... on College Board AP CompSci Exam Will Be In Java · · Score: 1

    Slow loading tests for slow students... it's a perfect fit!!

  19. borg on Unmanned (But Armed) Aircraft Experiments In 2001 · · Score: 1

    Resistence Is Futile!!

  20. The real reason for this... on MYSQL & Row Level Locking · · Score: 2

    Is because Borland has open-sourced parts of the Interbase engine...

    Speaking of which, has anyone test-driven the open-source version of Interbase (In either the Windows or the Linux)? How good is the source code?

  21. heh. Silly rabbit, don't you know HURD is for... on HURD For 'Big Iron'? · · Score: 2

    Silly rabbit, don't you know HURD is for programmers with a political agenda?

    But seriously, HURD is Richard Stallman's baby. If this guy is upset with the Linux kernal people, I would that RMS would not be an improvement...

    Now, maybe an OS like BSD.. that seems to be the most "political neutral" operating system... not to mention that the licensing is the least restrictive.

  22. Possible uses on Online 'Sand Mouse' Tests Neurobiologists · · Score: 1

    1) A door that opens for computer consultants (one with both hands full carrying huge sacks of cash) when he says "open sesame". (laugh, it's funny) 2) A dictation machine for people... oops, that's been done already... 3) A Natural language machine that gives detailed instructions to drivers trying to figure out how to go from "here" to "this location". (this has been done, to some extent.. being able to recognize anybody's voice would make this even easier on said driver)

  23. Re:Really? on Red Hat Linux 7 Infested With Bugs · · Score: 1

    I would guess about three months from now, based on how RedHat's release schedule has been going lately....

  24. Re:wow. on Red Hat Linux 7 Infested With Bugs · · Score: 1

    No problem. Thanks for responding to my troll!

  25. Re:Wow... on Stacked Carnivore Review Team · · Score: 1

    Doesn't work like that. Once you've voted the appropiate congressmen and president, they take over. They choose the judge that decides what's "fair". They choose to put people like Jeno Reno in power. And it takes more than a day to reverse all of this. Could be that part of the problem is that politician like "think of the children" as a campaign to give the government more power. Basically, you're screwed. Even if everything you're doing is legal.
