  1. Re:My linux VS my XP on A Public Library's Linux Success Story · · Score: 1

    I use goggles for DVD's.

  2. Re:PLUG AND PRAY on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    I use CrossWire Sword Project myself. I like the program in Windows, and you may download lots of modules including a KJV Bible with Strongs numbers and Strongs dictionaries. In Linux I have BibleTime for KDE but it's not as good...

  3. Re:Not the only person against Grand Theft Auto on Twenty-five Years at the Heart of Gaming · · Score: 1

    Porn hurts your relationship with other people. So, yes, it hurts society. (BTW that superbowl breast thing leave us Europeans baffled at how America overeacted...)

    Why don't you ask God instead?

  5. I hope you're joking on HP To Kill 3000 System After 30 years · · Score: 1


    I surely hope you are joking. No one in their
    right mind would change a mission critical COBOL
    program and files (With databases that can easilly
    be in the gigabyte range) by Excel and VB. And,
    for the record, I don't like COBOL.

  6. Stupid colors on Vote for a FreeBSD port of JDK1.2 from Sun · · Score: 1


    This must be one of the most agressive color
    schemes I've seen.Hey, Rob, you forgot
    to use the BLINK tag.

  9. Re:why not both on 1 cd? on Carmack on the retail Quake3 for linux · · Score: 1
    Read Carmack's .plan: If they fitted all the binaries in one CD there would not be a way to see which platform generated the sale, and platform statistics would be impossible.

    So, if you want to run Quake3 under linux buy the linux boxed version. Simple.

  10. X Server for WinNT: MI/X on Caffeine Good For Long-Term Memory · · Score: 1

    The only free X Server for Windows NT I found is
    MI/X and it's quite good actually. Here's a bit of
    the FAQ:

    This document is available in text-only format as well:
    ftp://ftp.microimages.com/pub/mix/mix_faq.txt
    __________________________________________________ _______________

    Q: Is MI/X really free?

    A: Yes. No strings attached. MicroImages does retain a copyright on
    it, however.


    __________________________________________________ _______________

    Q: Why is it really free?

    A: MicroImages gains name recognition and good will. MicroImages
    maintains MI/X as the X Server for its professional TNT image
    processing, geospatial data management, and desktop cartography
    products. In order to make the TNT products work exactly the same on
    all Windows, Macintosh and UNIX computers, MicroImages needed a
    robust and stable X Server whose future was not in the hands of some
    other company. (MicroImages also enjoys the irony that some ARC/INFO
    users will run our competitor's product on our free X Server.)


    __________________________________________________ _______________

    Q: How can I get a copy of MI/X?

    A: You can download it from MicroImages' FTP site, or from mirror
    sites.
    The URL to download MI/X from MicroImages' FTP site in Lincoln, NE
    U.S.A. is:
    ftp://ftp.microimages.com:4021/pub/mix/mix68k.sit. hqx (for MacOs
    68xxx)
    ftp://ftp.microimages.com:4021/pub/mix/mixppc.sit. hqx (for MacOS
    PPC)
    --> http://www.microimages.com in the "Free Stuff" section.
    Currently, MicroImages has an Australasian mirror for the MacOS
    files only. You can download MI/X from this mirror with the two
    following URLs:
    ftp://ftp.unsw.edu.au/pub/mac/comm/microimages-x-s erver-ppc.hqx
    ftp://ftp.unsw.edu.au/pub/mac/comm/microimages-x-s erver-68k.hqx

    First, I wish the best luck to the Rob and
    Hemos.

    What would happen if Andover.Net gets bought by
    another company? Would the buyer have to honor
    the signed contract? Or if someone bought /.
    from Andover.Net would they have to honor the
    inicial contract?

  16. Linux High Performance HOWTO needed on NT faster than Linux in tests · · Score: 1

    After reading all this comments I feel Linux need
    a HOWTO on how to tune a system like a quad Xeon
    with 1 gig of RAM and RAID to the proper
    performance. This kind of box is not the tipical
    hacker machine but reading the comments on this
    page already showed many things that could integrate a checklist.

    Maybe a new Linux distribution (or a new flavor of an existing distribution is needed - Like High End Server Debian) is needed. Despite the obvious bias in the study other thing is obvious: They are NT people, and people without experience in Linux could hardly tune a regular machine.

    - So Linux does not scale well out of the box:

    Solution 1: Create a packaged solution.

    Solution 2: Create instructions on how to correct
    the problem yourself -> the Open Source way of solving problems!

  17. This is Cool! on Mac OS X out and faster than Linux? · · Score: 1

    Companies are starting to compare their produts with
    Linux! "...outperforming Linux, Solaris and Windows NT Server...."
    Linux was the first of the list. So, even if it is
    a twisted PR, it proves one thing: Linux is mainstream.

    Time to try *BSD ;-) ?

  18. Who knew it was so easy to post to Slashdot? on Linux on CNN · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Unfortunatelly lots of people without
    a brain of their own start flamming Windows and
    promoting Linux just because it's the c00l thing to do.
    Well I like and use Linux (slackware), and I don't like
    Microsoft nor their tactics, but I don't like seeing people
    trash MS just because they are MS. e.g. Windows crashes: Everybody trashes MS
    Linux crashes: not even a word. Yes, and Linux can also crash.
    What is diferent is the philosophy (see Cathedral & Bazar by ESR)
    So Make Code not War!
