IANAL (I Am Not A Lowrider) but I think these are more of the "classier" type of lowriders, if that's an applicable term. Not those retarded Honda Civics with the mismatched hood, "fart can" muffler, and the spiky haired asian (or occasionally hispanic) dude behind the wheel.
Instead, it's the "pimp cars" like the Lincolns and Cadillacs (occasionally SUVs, vans, or pickups, but never a twirpy Civic) with authentic bullet holes and those wierd flat-looking tires, with a scary looking black or hispanic tough guy and his bag of weed behind the wheel. Of course I could be wrong... wouldn't be the first time.
Can you tell I'm not really a lowrider fan? I prefer offroad vehicles.:-)
P.S. I'm not being racist. When the heck's the last time you saw anybody except a black or hispanic tough driving a pimp car? The only exception is old people, and theirs don't have the wierd tires.
OS X's calculator does, but I don't think most people bother looking at Calculator's menubar. I had no idea it had conversion functions until recently.
It's probably a question. For example, now that slashdot's learned of it, the most popular query is probably "What are Natalie Portman's measuments?" or "How many liters of (hot) grits can fit in Natalie Portman's pants?" or "How many your base belong to me?"
Somebody really needs to start a project to join bochs and WINE. I've thought about what it would take, and I'd do it but I don't have t3h l337 5k!llz (C, C++, etc.).
I imagine such a solution would involve franken-forking bochs and wine, and merging them. The way I figured out would be: 1. Modify bochs somehow so that a program running in the emu can call code running outside it. 2. Modify linux to allow such things, and you'd also need a "thunking" version of WINE inside the emu to call the native WINE code outside. 3. Port WINE to OS X, integrate with bochs 4. ????? 5. PROFIT!!!!
This is slashot. At least I didn't use the standard "fucktard".
So what about the description? It's a kernel all right. And I don't know what you're talking about, it's there in XP. Longhorn doesn't count, it hasn't been released yet, and it has a kernel anyway.
What on earth would MS gain from releasing beta kernels to the public? Half the people using windows don't know what the heck they're doing anyway, so they're not going to mess things up further with beta kernels.
begin pseudocode { (2.4 -> 2.6) != (2000 -> 2003) 2.4 and 2.6 are objects of type "kernel only" 2000 and 2003 are objects of type "entire OS" }
Since I don't see sarcasm tags, I'm going to respond.
First of all, it's not pico, it's Joe's own version of pico, thus "jpico". It works fine for quick edits on linux, and there's no excessive complexity of emacs or confusing cryptic modes of vi. For programming (REBOL and Java, mostly) I use jEdit (on my PowerBook).
Second, I actually prefer my own tweaked version of the pico settings for Joe, but if I used that you wouldn't know what I was talking about, would you?
My kernel is compiled at -03 optimization. Is yours?
Dude, WTF else can they run? I doubt YDL or any other PPC linux supports the PMac G5 yet. I don't see why they would need anything other than simple OS X client for the slave nodes. Of course they could probably run raw Darwin, but why?
No kidding. My 667Mhz Powerbook G4 gets 6.8 MKps, my friend tried it on his 2.53Ghz P4 and got 3.4 MKps, and my 1.4Ghz Athlon XP 1600+ gets aroung 4.5 MKps. I calculate a Dual 2Ghz G5 around 40 MKps, probably more. Imagine them running distributed.net on this bad*** cluster!!!! YOW baby!
Great, now people who don't even use Gentoo are trolling for Gentoo.
We slackware dudes like to compile our kernels like REAL geeks:
tar xzf... patch... make menuconfig make dep; make bzImage make modules; make modules_install cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage/boot/linux-2.4.22 jpico/etc/lilo.conf lilo shutdown -r now
I just updated my two linux boxes to 2.4.22 today, and just to be geekier I used distcc. Well, not entirely to be geekier, one's a 166Mhz system and the other's an Athlon XP 1600+.
the resulting society might reject technology totally.
The day the Japanese reject technology is the day flying pigs release the blob from antarctica and drop it into hell, where it would freeze again. I mean c'mon... is there ANYBODY in Japan who doesn't have a cell phone?
Amen. I was going to post a tin-foil hat post about "THE ACLU IS IN CONTACT WITH THE ALIENS!!! I HOPE THIS ANONYMOUS THING WORKS!!!", but since there's no benefit from +1, Funny (really +0, funny) I just posted this.
Your example doesn't match the sentence. You meant to write mm/dd/yyyy.
Numeric dates can be annoying. But you could always just say "The 7th day of the Month of November, The year of our Lord 2003". BTW, the "retarded" part was not entirely serious. Many things that are different from the way we like them, we regard as stupid, even though they may not be.
Since this is OT already, is it me, or are there a lot of australians around here? (I'm trying not to say "crikey!". Oops.)

Part of the reason I plan to do a fresh-install once I go Panther. Unless of course I get a job and can buy a new PowerBook with Panther on it.

I thought this was a story about the PowerMac G5... I guess I need some more caffeine...

So they weren't canadians. Would you even know if you hadn't been told?
IIRC, there was an old IBM (I think it was IBM) one with a secretary tied up with phone cords... heh.
I want to be able to rant without having to look at the content...
:-P
You just did. Moron.

That's funny, AFAIK there's no flight simulator for PS2... (dumb terrorist joke)
BTW, that's a really stupid rumor.
Come see mine... it's a 486, but the case is bigger than my, uh, yugo! And check out the size of the 5MB hard drive! w00t! Yeah BABY!!!!!
7th or 8th place out of 500 isn't good enough? Whatchou smokin?

WRONG! Microsoft regularly updates kernel32.dll. I have lying around somewhere a kernel update for Win95.
You're a retard MS basher and you're going to get modded up for it.

Is it common practice to let people you don't know rummage around in your arcade games?
It is when there's a dimensional shambler pointed at your head!

Here in the US, we use the comma "," to seperate sections of our numbers (1,000) and "." to designate the decimal stuff (1.00).
Your way is clearly retarded.
