  2. Re:now I remener why I saved those Caldera Disks on Installing Linux On a 386 Laptop · · Score: 1

    yea I have old caldera and redhat disks (I think I have redhat 4 on cd) along with solaris desktop 2.6 but you want to talk about a bitch to install ... they should make solaris desktop 2.6 the poster child for hard to install, its a CD of source and a manual

    only 3 fucking days late, and you accuse me of living in mommy's basement fuck off

    I am so glad you administer HPUX you must be stupid or old, are those "real worstations" some 1980's dec crap, oh no those "real" workstations are shit stain dells, I bow to your glory I really do

    and when you decide to join us in year 2011 you will know there is ZERO reason to shove a full fucking disk down a network when the application is installed ON THE CLIENT already, unless your some mac fag who has to have the new X, you click 2 buttons and your horrible broken windows system unfucks itself in less than 10 min

    people like you are quickly being replaced by scripts, and I thank every fucking day for that knowing there is some snide asshat self righteous sys admin looking for a fucking real job in the real world where you might get a clue

    no they require a minimum of a 486, for example the last debian that works on a 386 is potato (2.2)

    nothing supports the 386 anymore, maybe net bsd if you have 16 megs to boot it

    outside of the quake supernuts? Yes he revolutionized video games by taking a then decade old trick and using a faster pc to redraw it in real time, his company ended up making a FEW ok but nothing spectacular games, and had made a few engines that the competition blew away a month later

    Why after all this time do people still hang on to his every word? Its just some dude, not Jesus.

    yea cause every other computer out at the time totally didnt get stuck at 64k or 128k, and there is a meg on board your 286, some of that has to be used for video drivers, fonts and other system crap

  17. popularized personal computing? on Review of IBM's Original Personal Computer · · Score: 1

    It had gone from a niche hobby for super nerds to a multi million dollar industry by the time IBM got in, the only thing they did was sell to corporate whom presumably already had some contract with IBM for typewriters and other equipment in many cases

  18. What kind of security problems on Why Companies Knowingly Ship Insecure Devices · · Score: 1

    there is a huge fucking difference inbetween "oops we left the programming interface exposed so some hacker can rewrite the firmware in his xbox controller" and "oops we just gave all your personal data to the Chinese, dont enter any credit cards"

    And please drop this magic cloud of "embedded devices" just for the sake of clarity? Cause for fucks sake that could mean anything from the intellegent disk controllers in a C-64 to a ipad to a army rifle

    you fucking blamed me, my distro, java, and firefox!

    you make it out that its MY fault that firefox cant find java, submit a bug report so I can watch it stagnate for 2 years as firefox marches on, why bother

    you make it out that its MY fault that when I went to the highly praised software manager and clicked install "Java(tm) plug-in, java se 6" and that it did install something, but fuck if I know?

    you make it out that its MY fault that Java doesnt have a DEB package, one of the top fucking 2 package management systems?

    now your blaming me cause I didnt know what 3 packages to install, you know there is fucking 3 pages worth of java shit when you go look? who the fuck has time to figure that all out? the linux nerd and not many others

    Sorry I am not linux jesus and involved with every pissant open source software thing, its obviously MY fault that linux is fucking broken at every god damned level unless you dedicate yourself to fucking with it constantly.
