I've got a super 7 board that will take a P100 chip, and it has two SDRAM slots, each accepting 256MB DIMMS. I've never tried, but the board can go as low as 100MHz with a 50MHz FSB, so I'm presuming that a P100 will run in it. It also has an AGP slot. This isn't the kind of board that would have been around back when P100s were being used, but it is backwards compatible with them. They probably used something like that.
Why is it "linux people" whine and moan about companies like AOL and IBM and their evil, incompetant ways, but yet run to them when a favorite company is in trouble. I'd wager when AOL took over Mirabilis, "linux people" were among the voice of the outraged. This article has the ring of hypocrisy to me.
I know I'll have tons of Americans up in arms about this, but I really don't see what the big deal about a national ID card is. I mean, its just another piece of plastic in your pocket. Any major financial or personal move you make is tracked these days. Getting a credit card, purchasing a house, a car, getting your degree. Everything is recorded, what difference does it make if you can look everything up based on one single ID number?
A bare install of linux without a lot of crap, huh? Sounds like Slackware to me. There's not a lot of RPM dependancies to worry about, if you just install the packages maked REQUIRED in sets A and N, then you've got a networked system with nothing on it but the bare minimum to run a functional linux system. Back in the day when the kernels were only up to 2.0.36 (last year, year before??) I was able to get a fully working Linux installation on my Commodore 386SX laptop, along with kernel source, on the 40MB HD and still have 5-10 megs to play with. Compiling the kernel was another story though, and it took so long i eventually wiped the source and compiled a kernel for it in 5-10 minutes on my K6-2 system:)
I respect CmdrTaco and his opinions, but I don't think Slackware is only for those who have slackware already installed as he claims, but rather that it is for those who want a clean install without a lot of crap floating around. This includes Linux power users as well as those who are (for whatever reason) migrating from BSD to Linux. I started on linux, then migrated to BSD, but I still use linux quite frequently. I've tried Redhat, Debian, Mandrake and a couple others, but I always return to the tried and true Slackware. I love you Patrick Volkerding!
I believe the fact remains that the quote reads "a well regulated militia". Whether that means "able bodied adult males in the general populace" or a government military organization is unimportant. The "Well Regulated" part is what matters. While it's obvious that most gun owners in the United States are responsible people (otherwise you'd see thousands of people shot a day), it is also obvious that there is a (lunatic) fringe to the population. Some people simply should not be allowed to carry guns. I'm treading on unstable ground, as I don't know the entire procedure for obtaining a gun in the US, but I know that in Canada you need to have both an FAC (Firearms Acquisition Certificate) just to get a hunting weapon, and a different document to be able to fire that weapon. Both documents require at least minimal testing for ability and responsibility.
And just to make sure I get moderated WAY down, I'd like to leave you with this: The right to bear arms is an archaic throwback to early American history (Yes, in Canada, we learn the history of OTHER countries, weird, huh??). To (mis)quote Homer Simpson: "What happens if the king of England comes over and starts pushing you around?" If you've seen that episode, (and you're not not a member of Charlton's Angels), you'll agree with me.

Doh! Ship! SHIP!! I swear I proofread that!
Naming it the Arrow and expecting sucess is like naming a new shit the Titanic and expecting it to stay afloat. Bad omens..
