  1. Re:Not that socialist boy has a chance anyway.. on Presidential Answers, Round One · · Score: 1
    evidently you've never heard of this thing called W E L F A R E.

  2. Re:LynxOS on The Rise Of QNX · · Score: 1

    would you care to expound on that?

  3. Re:NetBSD on Red Hat Abandons Sparc · · Score: 1
    Sparc has the same problem as PPC. Both are primarily controlled by proprietary vendors, Apple and Sun respectively.

    PPC is not primarily controlled by Apple. IBM uses very similar, if not the same processors in their RS/6000 machines.

    You should try the new Gnome. Redhat 6.2 uses Gnome with Enlightenment when you install it. However, Enlightenment does not work all that nice with Gnome. There is a much better wm called Sawfish (formerly Sawmill) which isn't as much of a resource hog. It is more customizable, and it integrates with Gnome more seamlessly.

    You're kidding, right? I suppose you're one of the many misinformed people who think clock speed is an accurate indication of CPU speed/power. "Piddly G4"? heh. First of all, the G4 processor is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) based processor. This is a MUCH more efficient technology that Intel's CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) chips. According to unbiased benchmark tests, it was determined that it would take a Pentium III running at 1.5 Ghz to equal the power of a G4 running at 500Mhz. Practically every other CPU manufacturer out there is way ahead of Intel, AMD, Cyrix, and whoever else is still messing with the archaic CISC x86 architecture. So uhh try and get a clue next time you post, mmkay?
