I remember when Kevin first started the project, it was because he wanted a free vmware. It was even called FreemWare:)
And it contains a version of bochs, and can be run in pure emulation mode, so it is both an emulator and a virtualiser, which IMHO will be why it will kill vmware, coz it can emulate for times when it can't virtualise.
Why is this the highest moderated comment I see? It's such a troll it's not funny.
But I'll bite:)
Here's a tip: Don't like cartoon chicks with big eyes/tits? Don't watch manga. You know, funnily enough, I'm not a giant axe bastard who can pull mad Kung Fu moves, I can't kill people by frowning at them and shaking, and I've never survived a "full orbital response". But you don't hear me complaining about how unrealistic the portrayal of blokes is.
If all women felt that porn was degrading, there'd be a whole lotta gay porn and nothing else, but they don't, so why should your views be forced on them? What if I feel that whatever you do for a living degrades people in general- would you quit to keep me happy? Would I ask you to?
Don't believe in porn? Then don't watch it, don't act in it, and do your best to keep your SO/kids away from it (if that's relevant).
And don't compare this sort of art to porn, just to troll, or because you don't appreciate it for what it is.
Basically, if the women didn't have big eyes, little waists and (not really all that often) big jugs, it wouldn't be manga. That's what japanese people as a whole like to watch, so that's what they produce. Nobody in nihon is ramming these cartoons down your throat.
Mate, if you can get an f1 car for the price of a new (mid-range) ferrari instead of the price of a new f50, i think you should let me know who you deal with to get 'em:-)
Oh fuck off, nobody forces them to be porno stars.
If i had a 6 pack and/or a giant 10" dick I'd be a pornstar myself. Why do you people insist that it's degrading? Are you so afraid of your own sexuality that you can't admit that people enjoy having sex, and a lot of people enjoy watching people enjoying having sex?
Isn't Win NT 5 (ooops, I mean Win 2000) architecture neutral like Linux? Just because they don't port to every architecture under the sun, doesn't mean that MS can't do it.
Yes, it is. If you know where to look, the first few betas of win2000 are available on alpha as well as x86, they just dropped it half way through, because it wasn't worth their time. But you can bet your ass the hooks are still in there, for just this situation. They may be dicks in redmond, but they're definitrely not idiots.
Is it really that bad that john and jane doe can one day have one boy and one girl instead of rolling the dice?
If one day I can have my wife tested at 6 weeks and we can find out they child will have cerebral palsy or muscular distrophy, don't you guys think it's ok to "play god" and teminate it, so as not to force a path of full-time care/ early death in the family???
And what about me? I don't believe there is a god. You heard me. So how can I play god? All I want to do is beat chance. Of course we won't get into chaos theory:)
I live in Canberra, and while I'm not a part of the geek scene, a lot of my mates are (my copy of mirc is still zipped). If somebody wanted to hassle some of the geeks involved, you can bet you'll find them at #canberra on the local efnet (no, no idea what that is). But what I can tell you is, this is soooooooo far from news it's not funny, this project has been underway for at least a year or two. I used to be interested, but it's just not that great, and afaik most of the people involved are in belconnen and you need to be within x kilometres (about 2.5???) to use it.
No, you're quite wrong. It is a feature in 2000,98, and me, but not in ie5. He's talking about people who use NT4, and that's me, and christ it pisses me off not having active desktop in ie, but now I know I can uninstall, install 4, then install 5, that's what I'll have to do. You don't know how much that little thing improves your satisfaction with your work pc untill it's gone.
Here's the patented (as if) G-funk moderation system. I don't think every idea is for everybody, but perhaps it could start some sort of discussion...
1. set everybody's karma levels to 0, except the people running the site, people who can be trusted at first.
2. No limit on karma for people. Yes this means signal11 will end up running/., but if he wasn't so frigging funny most of the time his karma wouldn't be so high.
3. everybody can moderate, but your opinions' weight is proportional to your karma
4. two scores, one based on community moderation as above, and one based on "trusted" user moderation.
5. users with any karma can become "trusted" users, but only after some sort of peer review process, based on their moderation, not their posts.
6. randomness.... every now and then, throw something where it shouldn't be, so people get a chance to look at it. also moderators should see newer posts first, regardless of score- as long as they're not -1 or less.
few.... of course due to the moderation system as it is now, only 4 people are gonna read this:-)
The thing is, you just need to get the NSA to certify you for B-7. which is just a matter of turning off FTL,BTD, and BST.
Unless of course you want to go for full A-9 certification, in which case you'll definitely need to get a PTU and an EPI audit done on all you FDC's. Now that's a real pain in the ass. This one guy my cousin knows spen three weeks just working on his EPI's TRD, not to mention the PTU an

Remember, contributing to an open source project does not entitle you to have free software from whoever you want, even if they use your software. If you think it does, then this "freedom" is a total farce.

That's rediculous. How about this? Windows is a commodore automatic wagon (holden.com.au fer you yanks), and linux is an s2000, not a bloody porsche.
And an s2000 is useless where your granny needs it- in a carpark and between home and the local pokies. 6 speed, tail-happy if you don't know what you're doing, and easy to stall (light flywheel, revvy, and good clutch). The're both ready for the highway (or sitting-on-top-of-your-desk), but only one is ready for joe schmoe.
In short, when they say desktop, they mean people who want their computer to be as easy(?) to work as their vcr, and right well they should. I can put a sun ontop of my desk and use it as a desktop, but you go to dell, you buy it, you plug it in, and it works, and you can type letters and play games. That's what they mean by ready for the desktop.
