Not to be the Betty Crocker of spelling, but... I understand that pendantic is misspelled. If you meant childlike, the pedantic pontificating bafoon would have sufficed.
I want a quarter everytime somebody says the word "FAT".
One of you nice folks show me to the "everyone's using it now, so I'll screw them" dept please. It's been long enough that I've been getting taken advantage of. Those leeching bastards.
Remember, you half witted sheep, that Hitler forbaid reading unauthorized books and propoganda during his rise to power. How do you think one gains power/money/influence/et. all?
The law of man is constantly changing- but it does not make it right to follow. At some point, throwing children in prison and your higher moral code(God) will not jive. If you're an athiest or agnostic, you can go continue to fuck yourself- you don't count. At this point, you either become the pussy that you are and turn your head, or you kick their asses.
In the case of UofF, if I were an up and coming student, having big brother over my shoulder for 4 years would be a factor in whether or not I tell them to sod off or not. There are better party schools out that that don't stick invade your privacy.
I don't know what Szully is doing, but this reminds me alot of when they fucked up Redhat 7 with gcc2.96-34832-3848Beta. Only this time, it's only screwing 4/5's of the people.
Not wholly sure if you realize this, but if users are running unsupported 3 month recycled crap on their desktops, they aren't going to use RedHat anymore and they aren't going to consider putting that steaming heap on their Server.
Microsoft owned the server market because CTO's kids were using it at home. You know the history. That's why I am not comprehending why you can't see the terrain in which you are currently deployed. Exquisitely stupid move. Redhat is very close to being a corporately accepted desktop. Now you just lost your PR person in every IT shop, because they have no more legs to stand on in regards to support. 2 points.
Next is the licensing. You guys really need to go back to the drawing board on this one. You cannot charge more than the dominant market player and expect to be around long. Every linux user wants your ass in the office and at home. That's a given, at this point in time...
And yes, we all understand that you cannot charge for linux. It's support right.. What the fuck ever. Charge for the bookmark you send with the 8 CD's.. It's the same outcome, and you know it. You are not helping by making licensing shit up with academia and research folks as well. Not good. These guys pull the heaviest and most stable purse strings, since their income is in and of itself based on Federal taxes. And this 6 months rotation, and 1 year and your smoked bullshit. No man. You are high.
When management makes 50X more than the lowest paid worker, they should be the first to get outsourced. And I don't think this is funny. It's the real deal.
These nice kids are obviously great at gaming gear. But, as others here have posted, they know dick about server configuration.
OK, 3000 dollars later they have what?
1 Terrabyte of destructible data, with glowing 400 dollar ram sticks, and a 3D video card so they can freeze their server when the GL sticks to the screen like a burnt muffin.
It's like a ricer trying to build a BMW. Lots a flailing with nothing as a result. Here's the gear they should have used:
AMD Athlon XP 3200 Kingston/Crucial ECC RAM Any motherboard with- 2 spaced 64-bit PCI slots(Tyan/Iwill) USB 2.0 with NEC chipset Dual Gig NIC's 3ware 7506-8 Parallel IDE RAID card Same Maxtor Maxline II 250 GB drives RAID 0+1 Multiple case fans as well as decent bearing PCI cyclone vacuum fans(keep 1 slot away from active cards). Linux with Reiserfs/XFS depending on file size. Samba/SSH/SFTP Fast, Secure, Suculent
That setup hits a little over 2K. No flashing lights, but you can drop that bastard off a building and you won't lose a years worth of data because your an ignorant tard. And as Martha says, "That's a good thing!(tm)"
Why do the benchmarks seem to be completely opposed to the other. The bonnie says reiser4 is faster, and the iozone says jfs is faster, and reiser is the slowest. This isn't making a great deal of sense to me.
I think that is the biggest pap smear horseshit blog I've ever been on. Thanks for posting that waste of life loser existence wannabe goth retard crap.
I vote for Nighy too. He just looks the part.. serious and much more realistic as a Time Lord. A transvestite would constantly kick your suspension of disbelief in the nuts.
I din't know RedHat came with RPC ports wide the hell open. There's security and then there's microsoft security. Have you seen what RedHat fixes in these patches?
Ex: Package xmms- exploit revealed to gain root access when logging in as user with loopback to a toaster oven and hitting the ctrl-F6 key while playing Xvid with Swedish subtitles.
RedHat supports thousands of separate applications along with the OS- Which is the kernel only. You can't compare RedHat to windows when Microsoft thinks a mediaplayer is something special. You have well meaning intentions.. you just aren't calibrated in the head is all.
I have paid transgaming for about a year now. I've been testing their software and seeing how they operate. Since transgaming's stance on packaging the source code of winex has come to light, I have since neglected my subscription.
I was able to play, in 1 years time, WarCraft 3 on 1 particular version of WineX. I don't recall which one, but the successive version broke even that. I tested all the games they purported to support. I have alot of games.
Their forums are forums.. nothing spectacular. They have maybe 2 guys from Transgaming reading and helping users on the forums. They do not consistently respond to email. And if they do, again, it's from the guys in the forums... reminding me of a Chinese Firedrill.
I have since decided to let my sub lapse due to the environment described above. They act as if they own this code, and their license is NOT the LGPL like wine. It reminds me alot of an artificial patent. They hold on to your code for a couple of years, while they give nothing back and try to sell it. Standing on the shoulders of others and congratulating yourself on being the first to get there is no accomplishment in my eyes. But that's just my opinion, and you know what opinions are like. Anyway, It's like this:
"The source code to TransGaming WineX (minus copy protection related code, for now) is available through VA Linux's SourceForge website. You can examine and modify it to your heart's content, you can watch the changes we make as we go, and you can participate in detailed development discussions on our mailing list. The only thing you can't do is redistribute WineX code for any commercial purpose. The WineX code is licensed under the Aladdin Free Public License, which prohibits commercial use of our work. If you wish to use WineX commercially, please contact our sales team to arrange for alternative licensing arrangements.
Once we have reached our subscription goals, we plan to release all of the WineX source code under the Wine license, which will allow it to be directly integrated with the core Wine project code hosted at www.winehq.com. Until then, we will periodically submit selected portions of our code for integration with the Wine project."
Essentially, we ain't gonna see shit. And with their smacking Debian and Gentoo on the head for packaging the code, they aren't following their own rules. Commercial enterprises are for profit. Debian is non-profit. Gentoo, I didn't even know was a org.. but you get the point.
If they are this rambunctious now and giving nothing in return- what happens if business picks up. Just my observation. My gut instinct is to say fuckem. And my gut is usually right.
The article has a mac zealot slant. Not that it's a bad thing. There's room for everyone. But, when you are teaching children to survive in the real world, the odds of them getting a job because they know how to rearrange their icons on a iMac just don't cut it.
Proprietary hardware is more expensive than intel/amd x86/i64 based systems. And that includes Mac. I think the schools would do well to introduce their students to multiple platforms. If cost containment is a concern, then linux/x86 would be the answer. If teaching students job skills is a concern, then sadly wintel is the answer. If breadth of knowledge is a concern, then give them Mac, Solaris, HP/UX, Linux, et. al.
Honestly, if these students wnt through 12 years of school, and just used Mac's- they would be fucked. Their prospective employers would laugh them out of the office. Mac's are pretty, and their user base are geared to rich retards or graphic artists.
There is no freedom with Apple anymore. Their software is closed. Their hardware is closed. you can't learn dick. They don't pay these kids, when they get out, to believe in the power of their dreams. They pay them to do work. The rest of this shit is artistic window dressing. It's time for this dark age Mac weenies to realize this. Think different(TM), as it were.
I'm more concerned about the missle manufacturers producing parts over there. The DOD seems to have lost their fortitude when it comes to executing people for treason. Perhaps that will change before they nuke us for interfering with Taiwan.
I think laptops fall into the category of toilet paper and rice balls. Who gives a shit. Nobody's gonna die cause your crappy Dell can't run WinblowZ 2010.
Anyone here noticing that slashdot disappears 3 out of 4 refreshes? Is something going on server side?

Sun's Last Stand
·
· Score: 1
"So the same hardheaded pride that got Sun into trouble with Linux is alive and well. Nowhere is this clearer than in the office of Scott McNealy, where he keeps what he calls a "decapitated penguin" on a shelf (it's the head from last year's costume). He admits to tactical errors "too numerous to discuss," and then singles out just one: Sun was late jumping into the market for a cheaper set of offerings on the lower rungs of the server world."
If this is innovation and fulfilling customer need, then I have a Ebola-laced dildo to sell SUN.
These folks should change their name to Moon. The galaxy no longer revolves around them. They are either going to adapt or die. I hope that they adapt. No use in wasting more customers money on a dying product line. The market is driven by cheapness and efficiency, not hubris. I wish them well.
Wanted to post something completely fictional. Because this is./ of course- nobody believes this stuff you know./possessed mode 1
Isn't Poindexter one of the documented Majestic members(2nd Gen.)? He shifted to info control about 10 years ago didn't he?
And, no, I'm not making this shit up(see- I'm creating suspension of disbelief!). Read through the news. This guys been globetrotting like he's searching for the cure to explosive hemmoroids. Unfortunately(depending on your POV), I think it's a little too late for what he's attempting to do.
We've all got some major trouble comin down the pipe, and Gen. Poindexter and friends will try and add a little conditioned media K-Y so it doesn't hurt so much when we get to bend over. It's a nice thought, but you can only hold enertia at bay for so long. Btw, on a semi off:off topic- has anyone seen that hollow martian rock called Phobos floatin around lately? I know where it's not, but where did it go? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?/possessed mode 0
OK, I'm better. In short- leave old Mr. Poindexter alone. He's pissin in the wind. Times almost up.
This falls into the deCSS algorythm problem/issue that has since been resolved. Windows and Mac users only have access to media formats? DVD functionality? Document formats? Sound formats? Network protocols? Wrong. Linux users a human beings too.
What do you think the probability is now that Apple releases a quicktime player for linux? I think it's much greater- And as jailbait Martha says, "And that's a good thing."
