I start to run out and the line widths are limited too. Also it dosn't automatically resize as well. It's a hard habit to break at other terminals and machines but I try to learn.
The piece of hardware dosn't do burning just reading. I just used CD burners in my analysis because I havn't seen too many good/cheap things that would work with my old computer. My drive is a Adaptec model (that much I do know) I just forget which. The newer kernel didn't like it and just kept probing away at it. I even got irritated enough to take my grievences to the kernel mailing list (it should be in the archive a while back). They weren't much help. Basically the detection code goes through all the LUNS and trys to detect the drive but it dosn't work at all. I believe it's on LUN 2 from the dos drivers and they work the first time and they are old. Basically this setup prevents use of redhat or anything that uses big bunches of packages or on-cd package installation. I even have installed dos games off the thing. The only problem is the win 3.1 interface to the drive which screws up badly. Believe me the problems have been real and severe. It wasn't until a while age (about a year to a year an a half that I could even figure out how to force the stupid X server to figure out that I had some card that could do more than 16 colors and then to get the mach 32 server to work took even more time and that gives me signal 11 errors from a *video card* strange !)
Didn't people figure out not to buy products that broke. That used to be called getting scammed. It makes my head spin. That is almost as bad as the stupid $800 MP3 player that slashdot has been advertising lately. What a waste of time. I could get a better stero system for less than that and it would be less prone to breakage.
That fine with me. I don't manufacture USB devices and in fact many other people don't do massive manufacturing techniques. That's the realm of billionaires.
Just how is it good for anything more than getting all the data that threaded mode takes away? You can't tell the flow of the discussion, you can't tell who said what in relation to whom, you in fact miss the whole point which slashdot was set up under and that is making cosmments to others in a public forum. Unless flat mode starts to contain little tags or text data saying "post made in reply to post #415" or something like that. Trust me as a person who obcesses about this thing I know what's ultimately useful. You could spend hours trying to sort out the subtle nouances of the discussion or take maybe 30 seconds to look at an entire sotry in nested mode in say netscape/IE/w3m/(lynx 2-7 and before they screwed up the nested table support the newer releases are shit). Threaded mode is also useless unless you like making 4,000+ little connections to slashdot's sometimes slow server over modem links. So tell me how can one actually judge content properly in flat mode at all or in fact gain any meaningful data from it?
In my humble experience when anyone has said that something is better it usually conotates that it is far more expensive. Why don't we actually *stabalize* on one standard that dosn't shaft people all the time and just get with the program. If people know that they are going to need massive bandwidth between devices in the future then just make a standard that has 1 billions yottabytes of transfer width and make it *cheap* and *affordable* and *compatable*. Then down the line you can slowly improve it using the *same* interface. So called improvements in PC technology havn't changed a damn thing except for the most affluent. I personally am seriously thinking about becomming interested in considering looking into someday getting better computer and I don't know where to turn that won't let me get screwed but some person who wants his digital camera to be faster than his T-3 connection transfering pictures of his lizard and other junk. I want there to be a clear standard about what to do. Consider the standard COM port. That is a piece of gold there. No change there. Nothing changed, everything got 100% perfected for it good linux support and the like. Consider the *interface* for modems. The hayes compatable/AT command set virtually guarantees that the modem will work under linux and work well with almost anything that follows the spec. Standard 1.44 Megabyte floppy drives are another little consideration. They work flawlessly and well for what they do. Sure some crazy people thought that paying something like $10 per individual media was "cool" and "progressive" for things like LS 120 disks or even more for zip cartriges and other junk but it's expensive and difficult to justify for anything but the most necessary purtchesses. CD burners havn't come down in price at all and there isn't good support for all CD drives in linux (largely because of said "competition") and so I dhave to use old DOS drivers from 1995 to get mine to work which means another reboot. What I don't get is why people don't use graduated interface methods that are specified *now*. For example you could theoretically extend a spec for any possible configuration indefinately if at least the main connectors were compatable and kept in a well done methodical upgrade path. I don't get what happened to compatable parts that were part of American manufacturing techniques. Just have specs for everything up to say what the USS Enterprise would need but keep the same connectors. At least some people would be sparred another needless upgrade for other people to get that 2% increase in their computer (which becomes to be all but mathmetically unnoticeable after a while with all the human perception being limited and all).
Sorry for the comment but I don't have access to a pdf viewer in the least. Assuming that this is just a mere speed increase and if not that a slight change in the specification than it would be trivial to write the drivers for the various OSs because most of the code is already prewritten and dosn't have to be redone at all.
It's already almost physically impossible to max out the bandwidth of a mouse to the extent that it fills the entire pipe. Usually mouse responsiveness needs to be toned *down* because humans don't need anything that fast.
Yeah so just because you want to do beowulf clustering ( a technique that is not 100% documented for the average person to use and apply) you want to change the interfaces that people have used for years so that I can have YAAUU (Yet Again Another Unneecewssary Upgrade). I would estimate that the number of people who need to link 10,000 computers to do nuclear weapons simulations for another bad quake game don't need this or anything similar. In fact I would hazard a guess it's just a tactic to eliminate people from fully partaking in the PC experience fully. Really bad form. Why don't these guys actually design a spec that is tapped up the wazoo the first time that will work for say the next 20 years without needing to be upgraded. Whatever happened to keep uptil it breaks manufacturing techniques. Hell cars were built tougher back in older times (I know after owning 3 cars and having my Chevrolet Chevette Scooter 1981 last longer than any of them the rest being a 1985 Crysler Plymouth Reliant and a 1992 Ford Tarus Station Wagon).
I have spend countless hours getting stupid windows programs to work right. Just today I was trying to get Juno to install on a windows 95 machine and tried unsuccessfully for about 3 hours tinkering with various settings and upgrades from microsoft. I was not seriously impressed with my service nor my preformance with any of the associated software. That isn't ease of use.
Clinton's comphrensive health care reform bill that failed because of Republican opposition. Also various tax cut proposals that Republicans have supported that Democrats have not apporved. I can go on into specifics but that would take too long and possibly would go unread. I would like documented evidence of the specific bills or actions that you believe to be part of a conspiracy. Personally I don't believe it. Bipartisian support is usually a rare commidity in the world of politics.
Having been on a 2400 baud connection (lousy cheap backstabbing murderous pack of cigar smoking dogs took my connection, grumble, complain, hate everyone revenge soon) before I have problems even accessing even two simultaneous socket connections or even contacting a name server to get a domain resolved when just doing one task. At best I could only share one file at a time for download and do absolutely nothing. It may be better for other folks but not me.
FYI when I dealt with a filtering proxy anonymizer.com was blocked under every possible filtering type possible like hate speech and the like porn and such.
1) Companies don't set prices - markets do. High prices - and high profit margins - are signs of inefficiency in the marketplace due to over-regulation or lack of access to information.
Could have fooled me. Last time I checked Microsoft was actually sued in federal court because they did just that. Go fig.

If it didn't cost a fortune and need replacing we wouldn't be making "progress".
For enough money a dot matrix printer and a stealth bomber are crossplatform data transfer devices.

Not something that is fair play at all. Anything that is too expensive is far too close to useless for most of humanity to bother with.

What would it take to get a 486 to use USB? Otherwise I really don't much care and unless it costs less than a standard hard drive I don't care.

That works for me most of the time. Just wait until it's done. Not everything that takes more than .0001 nanoseconds is "fucking slow".

What's the point of getting access to a network unless you get to have the data at all? I mean it really just sucks that you can't get something.
When I am on the net I am out to collect data and such. Then I can share. If I have nothing to share what am I supposed to do?
They each have their own agendas and want to do their own things. They rarely cooperate. What kind of dope do you smoke when you think otherwise?
I don't use it often but it looked fine for me.
It just sounded fishy to me so I just had to ask.
FYI when I dealt with a filtering proxy anonymizer.com was blocked under every possible filtering type possible like hate speech and the like porn and such.
Just in cast you didn't notice
I am just curious. I don't think most parents are that politically motivated to change their baby's name to something political like that.
Also wasn't Goldstein a creation of Ingsoc? So basically Goldstein is a propaganda tool.
