come to think of it... I have had trouble compiling a kernel on my system, something always seems to go wrong, so I usually just use the RPM kernels... And after installing a newer Redhat kernel, I did notice a lot of speed decrease compared to the original Mandrake install. Does Redhat even provide a kernel for 6x86? (please don't hate me because my computer sucks)
I find it funny that the person who submitted this was browsing through Microsoft's web site. Why on earth would you do that unless you were trying to find documentation for something (if you have ever tried to get information from their web site you know what I mean).
I have tried both RH6 and Mandrake 6 and I see Mandrake as a bug fix for RedHat. They make the RedHat distro work better, and if you ever check out their site they are working on some nice software. All this and extra software that doesnt come with a basic Redhat distro.... well whats wrong with that!?
I can see a market of people who would buy a dual celeron system instead of opting for one of the expensive high-end chips of any manufacturer. I myself, if I had a few dollars to spend would either buy a dual celeron, or not buy anything. It doesn't make much sense to disable something that allows users to add a second Intel chip. People would buy 2 instead of one, so how much money would intel really loose? If instead the person would go and buy a single faster chip, what makes them not go and buy an AMD?
Seeing as I cant afford a portable MP3 solution and tend to listen to independant or obscure artists, not to mention that I dont have the best computer/internet connection, I still would rather buy a CD than use mp3's. I like being able to stick my CD in any CD player and it working, getting artwork and lyric sheets. Anyway, if I can mail order most CD's that I want for 12 dollars or less, i can't see paying for some mp3, or even spending the time downloading it. If you really like the artist you would support them by buying their album and not pirating it, especially if you dont listen to top 40 crapola.
Even though AOL has done away with development of tik, we still have the code. I noticed the page was gone a couple months ago, and it never came back. I urge people, mostly those with ample space and a domain to host some sort of Tik development project to continue it without AOL. The software is really a good little program, with some nifty features. So... if anyone is up for this... maybe drop a note on freshmeat if you have something set up... something like that...
The movie wasnt as fact filled as the Cringely PBS special/book but it was entertaining. Steve Jobs is still my hero. It was fun seeing a drunken Bill Gates ride around on a bulldozer or whatever that was he rode around on, especially when its played by someone who was in "The Breakfast Club"
I see ?s all over the web instead of 's so when i was reading the article... I really didnt know what the hell you guys were bitchin about... Kinda petty if you ask me. I can still read it.
I miss the old BBS days... Now the only BBS's left have turned into ISPs and sometimes they have the Boards up on telnet, but its just not the same... The local thing was way cool.
Eiether way these benchmarks really should go, I still have a crappy PC. If I only had some money, then I could get excited about it... Hey, will we ever see dual K7's? I don't think im going to buy a new motherboard/pc unless i can get some kind of dual processing power.
You know.... I liked the original Star Wars series and everything, and want to see these new ones, but getting excited about the sound track to a movie that isnt released seems kind of odd... If the same music was released and didnt have anything to do with star wars... i dont think you kids would be clammering to get a copy... i mean, its symphony music for gods sakes... not exactly something that you cant find elsewhere. get a grip already and just wait for the movie to come out. Part of the fun in listening to the sound track is that you know the story and can play it out in your head, but the music alone for a movie that isnt out yet... thats just odd kids... nuff said
i find this quite silly that people cant wait for the movie to come out to hear the music... watch the movie suck when it comes out, that would be a big joke on all you kids clammering for every piece of star wars info you can get. have patience already, sheesh.
i wish i could be plucked away, my school njit is supposedly the "most wired" according to yahoo, but the computers in the lab still dont work... and the engineers get the workstations to use, the CS kids get windows for workgroups, sparce amount of NT machines and a half working terminals... but anyway.... they havent helped me find a job and all the students who got jobs because of their parents or friends of parents owning stores have experience of some sort so they get the employment... not to mention i dont own a good suit.
Sometimes I take a moment and think about the internet like the next stage in macro-biology. From single celled organisms, then multicelled, then cells making up organs, then organs making up body systems, body systems making up a complete organism... But the net is sort of like the next step, a group of organisms connected, the planet like one giant creature... Now wouldnt it be nice if we could all get along?
I dont know about you, but I would rather read the print version of a book rather than stare at text on a web page. I also like having a CD or record of an album because I know that I can put it in any CD player and it will work, not to mention all that great artwork on the sleve, lyric listings, information about who produced it and played what. I also dont have the space on my friggin hard drive to keep the dang MP3 files, and its a pain in the ass to find the kind of music i like in MP3 anyway since most of what i enjoy is obscure or on independant labels. Thats just my 2 cents, keep the change.

There is always one of you Beowolf people on these things!
It wouldnt be too hard to make one... Just a bunch of flashing lights!

They are free... and I already have a bunch!!!!
