    Oh brave new world!

    Aldous Huxley is that you?????

    If so, do you have soma and free sex yet?

  2. Re:nice, but... on Apple Updates iBook Line With G4 Processor · · Score: 1

    Athlon 64 Laptops are available now. So I don't think apple will be the first with a 64bit laptop.

    There are a few others, but thats the only one I know off hand. Pretty good considering the chip was only released a few weeks ago.

  3. Re:hyperthreading is a different breed on Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged · · Score: 1

    That wouldn't be fair at all. Just because hyperthreading allows a processor to act like two processors, it is still just one processor.

  4. Re:Director's intent? Who cares? on Widescreen (Finally) Winning · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. Movies aren't just entertainment. They are art.

    Would you cut up a picasso into a smaller painting because you didn't care for other parts of the painting?

    Or what about removing certain anatomically correct parts of michelangelo's david for the purpose of censorship?

    Art should not and never be modified except by its creator. Period. Not even if it makes it more interesting for you.

  5. Re:Where did this start? on Gobe Productive GPL Release In Danger · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I may be totally oblivious to the answer but when and how did this "in soviet russia" shit start?

    Where are you located?

    I have cox, and while I am not happy nor disatisfied with the service my speed is incredible.

  7. The Grid on UT2003 Gone Gold, Ships with Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Has anyone ever played the arcade game called "The Grid". I think it was made by the mortal kombat guys. Its a really cool fps style game with wicked weapons. You play a virtual character in an arena that is linked with other arcade stations. We need that over the internet on pcs!

  8. I went out and got as many certs as I could.... on IT Certifications Summary · · Score: 1

    ... only to realize I already had plenty of toilet paper.

  9. I actually did this... on Telecommuters and Downtime? · · Score: 1

    God forgive me but I actually resorted to the free aol trial for internet access when my cable line went down.

    I also used to live in jersey and did some database work for a jersey based electrical testing company. After I moved to New Orleans I had to telecommute and so I got set up with a nice cable modem to do my daily db work. But then a month later it went down for almost an entire month. Cox (the cable company) would not compensate me for the lost work hours but did give me a month's credit.

    So anyway i decided to use the aol 45 day trial to get online and do some work (I can only do so much with the dial up line). I did what I could. But I couldn't do everything I needed to until I got the cable connection back.

    Interesting note however, after cancelling my free trial to aol the offered me 3 free months of the service. I refused. Next week another call again offering 3 months of free service to come back to aol. This went on for a while. Interesting buisness practices. No wonder they have so many users. They provide somany free months that people just blow off trying any other service...

    Last I recalled, intels 80/86 cpu was based on amd technology.

    Read the article. Hurd is not a kernel. It is a set of servers.
