  3. good? on Caldera Close To Buying SCO Unix · · Score: 1

    hopefully this will bring in the strenght and stability of SCO's product with the usablity and great install gui of caldera's product...this could be a good thing. With the swing in tech ipo's I predict you will see more and more of this type of merger/acquisition.

    would someone please take that fucking penis bird, fill it full of beer, and boil it in hot grits and shove it down natalie portmans pants....sheesh some people just dont have enough to do... as for a question...what is the longterm target market of Debian, network admins with loads of experience or user friendly gui's for inexperience end users....... thanks

  7. How important is Hardware Independence on Sixteen Degrees Of Separation · · Score: 1

    ""Instead of being restricted to the PC, you get to pick what hardware you want, and after all, that's the most expensive part of the computer. If you've got a job that doesn't require a 500Mhz Pentium III, a smaller chip, something cheaper, you can pick what you want because the operating system runs on so many chips and so many pieces of hardware. It gives the user the choice that they really need. "" I dont see it, with computing cost being what they are nowdays, when you can get a good standard desktop pc for 400 dollars, and lets be honest, sure there are hardware platforms that run faster, but processing power for the dollar is in the PC. Amiga's problem years ago wasnt their lack of features, as has been mentioned already the mulitmedia, windowing, etc etc was way ahead of its time, but they flopped due to cost. At the time justifying the additional cost wasnt doable for most people. It would seem the current developers would learn from this and try to focus more directly on the OS. Make it run on a PC platform, that is what 90 percent of technical people use. Then focus on porting it to other platforms.

  8. Re:Xbox is "nonsucky" on Bungie Software Bought By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    yes they will have ethernet and probably support MP3's....which i hope they decide to incorporate so that the RIAA can sue M$, now wouldnt that be a fun legal battle to watch...
