  1. wait what? on Linux Nukes 386 Support · · Score: 1

    no freaking distro supports 386 anyway, your lucky to fine one with a kernel that boots on a freaking pentium I? Ok sure they SAY 386, but as a 386 owner, not a single one will boot, even if you have the minimal 48 megs of ram to fit the bloated ass thing in.

    Thanks, but your like 14 years past the fact that a 386 can actually boot linux

  2. Re:Redbox started at -1 for me. on Redbox Set To Compete With Netflix On Video Streaming · · Score: 1

    yes, cause no one else in the history of the world has used red product containers

    besides, I have never personally seen a redbox envelope in my entire life, by your logic Netflix should be sued by Civic Video

    God I hate cheap ripoffs, fuck netflix

    and BSD is not Net BSD, nor is it Free BSD

    its like saying IBM uses linux, but yellowdog is a dead linux OS, so therefore its IBM's fault

  7. Re:Obligatry Response with slight disgust on FreeBSD Project Falls Short of Year End Funding Target By Nearly 50% · · Score: 1

    BSD like linux is in flavors, FreeBSD is not the same as NetBSD, which is what OSX uses as a base, nor are there any stories saying NetBSD is circling the shitter financially

    its dos, it hasnt been made for over a decade, does your app work? if yes then be happy, if no then start looking, its not like it has to keep up with the bleeding edge of MS DOS development here

    if Ubuntu and all its variants could detect a fucking 1280x1024 @ 60hz monitor without having to hand edit a depreciated text file that does not exist like it did in ubuntu 9

    ya know, before you went all retarded?

    the people making extruded aluminum have no interest in making a 68 channel differential daq and vice-versa, your coming off a bit tinfoil here

    I did look at that the other day, and it seems like it could fit the bill (if I can find my osx disc around here). The windows version seems somewhat broken, so I went to install linux, which went pants on head retarded kicking off my 1280x1024x60hz display in something like1152x600x56Hz and I havent felt like dealing with linux bullshit this week

    I think your vision of automation is unrealistic, we cant even make a copier that doesnt suck, machines that do this work constantly fuck up, constantly need reels changed, and constantly need double checking

    " A probing station and a computer might be able to tell you where the error is, but desoldering the components is work for a human no matter what you try."

    heck, I am putting together a probing station, it parts alone cost just over 10 grand, and required at least a dozen companies products + 2 weeks of my time to wire it all up + 2 weeks worth of software design.

    this is the 3rd one this quarter, and we are a tiny company doing simple products!

  17. Automation on A US Apple Factory May Be Robot City · · Score: 3, Interesting

    its the only reason the company I work for can be competitive on cost in electronic assembly, that being said it takes a small army to keep the machines running and fed 24/7

    I agree, as I type from my 92 model M... On to laptops, I was surprised that the dell work gave me actually has a almost acceptable keyboard, ok sure its still like sticking your fingers into dough, but they actually have a decent travel and a nice solid base to thunk down on... unlike most laptops where its like typing on rubber attached to a thin plank of balsa wood only being held on its ends bouncing around

    ADB has its innards extremely well documented by apple in the IIGS Hardware reference (page 121)

    It never changed, and ADB was used by other companies such as NeXT, Sun and a few others, this is simply a case of doing a bunch of work cause they didnt know what to google for
