This is just another example of the ignorance of our gov reps. If he's selling mp3s, how are they going to track it? There's no way. If the customs office somehow can institute a block on an overseas "tax dodger" he'll just re-route through another server address. There's just no way the gov can chase people around the 'net fast enough to be effective.
As far as domains go, he can simply register with any overseas dns registrar.
They need a live functioning cell in order to reproduce. As such, they are effectively parasitic and that could be extended so that their needs include the needs of their hosts which include water.
This is not directly in reply to you Jim, but party to you and the other posts above...
The point is, almost everyone can't easily afford something.
I am too poor to buy the boat I want. Do I whine about it? No, I plan a path to my goal and work and save in order to reach it.
You were too poor(in money) to buy a computer so did you whine about it? No, you spent what you did have(time) in order to get what you wanted.
Linus was also too poor in money to purchase what he wanted. Did he whine? No, he applied what he had, his expertise and his time, in order to get what he wanted.
As far as everyone having a chance, I agree. Everyone gets a chance. OK, now what about the people that throw their chances away? Do we offer them another, and another, ad infitum? I say no. It is not my responsibility to rescue fools from their follies. All these people who are supposedly deprived of access are simply lacking motivation and depriving themselves. So they don't have the bucks to buy a PC and 'net service. Let them go to the library. Don't have the bus fare? OK, let them decide that they want access to the 'net more than a beer or soda. If they choose to have a beer and hang out on the local street, so be it. I am not going to drive down there, pick them up, build them a house, buy them a car, fix dinner, install a PC and set up 'net service for them.
They can do it all themselves, if they want it bad enough!
I don't know all that much about the rest of the world, but here in the USA, all it takes to succeed is effort. That is honest, true, sincere, dedicated effort. Spend less time whining, more time working and you will succeed. No one is truly deprived of access to information, all they are is depriving themselves. No one is deprived of an education, they choose to drop out of school and spend time hanging out at the mall rather than hanging out at the library.
If you can't afford an entry level PC today, then you can't afford to waste time whining about it. Get to work, save your money, don't rent videos at blockbuster, go to the public library and educate yourself instead. A personal annecdote illustrates this very well. A man that has been a friend for twenty years was a burger flipper with only a high school diploma when I met him. Today he is a millionaire. How did he do it? It's really simple. He worked *hard*. Two jobs, seven days a week, no time spent wasting money on entertainment and 20 years later he is the wealthiest person I know and he is about to retire at the age of 40. My other friends and I have watched in amazement for 20 years as he has made the American Dream into reality right in front of our faces.
If I am denied boots, then I grow calluses on my feet and save my money until I can afford boots. No whining, begging, or even demanding is required.
Linus wrote his kernel because he was poor! He couldn't afford a *nix so he made his own.
Does anyone see the parallel?
Too bad so many minority whiners will never learn *that* lesson. If you can't afford something that you need, make your own, duh!
If the "minorities" are so stupid and prejudiced themselves that they choose their leaders based on skin color alone, so be it. Fools following fools deserve what they get.
Do you speak from personal experience, or are you simply repeating doctrine?
Panaflex is speaking from his own personal experience which disagrees with some of the stuff that JK is rehashing. My experience agrees with that of Panaflex. When it comes to engineering, either you are good or you are on the path to management. Notice how skin color does not enter the equation, literally. Engineers appreciate that.
Funny how I don't notice skin color until someone suffering from "race accounting syndrome" mentions it. Can't call them racist, even though they obviously have an obsession with races. They'd get offended. You know, only white people can be racists, right? Now I check out the office map and see 8 colored people, and 22 non-colored. All the colored ones are good engineers BTW. The only ones that suck are non-colored and fortunately, they are managers where they are relatively harmless.
Everyone has 'net access here at work and at home. Doesn't look like much of a problem to me.
The only petition that intel will hear is the sound of cash flowing to AMD and others. SMP users can already opt for an AMD system, or Compaq alpha, or MIPS, or Power PC, or Sun...
I repeat, this petition and "I respect the people who choose the celeron..." sort of stuff is just so much masturbation and other forms of self gratification for whiners who simply have to do *something* no matter how meaningless it is just to feel good about themselves.
Called COSMAC IIRC. Rad hard, ultra low power, CMOS silicon on saphire process. It's a RISC-like 8/16 bit architecture.Do a search on some of those words and you'll probably hit something. Ah, go to google and search for RCA COSMAC. You'll get lots of hits.
...since he did not specify which century, he could be right. Of course you'd have to assume that the century that is the topic of discussion started on 1900/01/01 or somewhere around that date.
Of course if the particular century in question began with 1901/01/01, he'd be wrong or if he's talking about the "20th" century he'd be wrong, or if he's talking about the century that began today, well he'd be wrong again. This would of course be the first Friday 13th of *that* century, which means that it can also be the first of *this* century.
Extrapolation from century to millennium is left as an exercise for the reader.
Debian can't be any tougher than COL 2.2. The reason being that I have yet to get COL 2.2 to install, including reboot, on my box.
I've never tried Debian v-anything, but the very box that COL 2.2 won't run on, currently runs RH 6.0, Slack 4.0, and w95, and has run FreeBSD and OS2 so I don't think it's a hardware problem. Since I've put boxes together with OSes since xenix on 286-AT days I don't think it's the installer either.;-)
...get the bugs out and get a jump on the competition. At least not on my boxes they didn't. Now that they're releasing the code, perhaps I'll be able to debug it and make a successful install. As it stands I've got RH, Slackware, Suse, and w95 running at home and all have an edge on Caldera simply because their installation tools worked and C's didn't.
I guess that the one way that they got the jump was that they got my money, but then so did the others.
There's 72M of memory being used as cache. Notice that the swap has not been touched. We don't get a ps to see how many copies of httpd or anything else are running...
That word is what a gov can do to limit the flow of information. If I "limit the information" that is available to my daughter, then that is NOT censorship. It is simply my choice.
... it meant that the drive had the capability for the sustained throughput that was required for video recording and playback. I have one, an 8G SCSI that was made by Micropolis, that has this AVHDD 'label'. I never have used it for that purpose so I can't vouch for it.
It's been too long, but IIRC but the SCSI interface is pretty simple. That is, the read and write heads are simply addressed as separate LUNs on the drive.
After installing and running DOS, w3.1x, w95, FreeBSD, os2, slackware, and redhat on raw, bare x86 machines for years(I've never bought a "PC", only parts), and redhat on an alpha box, COL 2.2 is the only one that I have not been able to bring up and/or piece together, yet.
This flop of an install was attempted on a machine that had easily been loaded with w95, RH5.2 and 6.0 without a hitch. I got my first butterfly when the screen froze a moment after I had selected the mouse type and clicked 'NEXT'. After all the fiddling with cache settings, bus speeds, etc. I never got past the X config setup where you are supposed to select the server. The progress meter showed that it never got past something around 28% of the packages loaded. It crashed around 21-28% even if I left it alone after it had started loading packages.
Trying LISA, I actually made it through the install until I tried to setup X. The util would not save a config file. Rather than rebuild the xf86config from scratch, I copied my old config file which works under RH. I got all sorts of permission errors upon startup. Gave up, shut down, went to bed. Next day I thought I'd try to pick up where I left off and it wouldn't boot. It always froze up somewhere around fsck. I gave up, threw the floppies, CDs, book, and COL 2.2 registration card in a junk box where I suspect they will stay.
I wish I had read some more in the newsgroups before I went and spent that money. Oh well, lesson learned: you can't assume it's gonna be good just because it says "Linux", at least not any more.
Booted up redhat, re-formatted the partition that was assigned to COL, copied all my mp3s back off the tape...
In case you were wondering, the box has K6-2/300, 128MB RAM, Matrox G200, IDE CDROM and HD, ISA ne2000 NIC, SB16. It's pretty plain and simple yet COL 2.2 barfs on it.
These screen shots were my first look at the fancy schmancy tetris game. The installer blows big time on a system on which I have installed w95, os2, and RH 52. All of which work just fine, all day, all the time.
