People, use your smeggin' brains..com,.this,.that is archaic! You should be able to register an arbitrary string and the DNS system should be able to resolve it to an IP.
This whole thing with.com,.net,.org is complete bull wank. You should be able to register an arbitrary string (linux.geeks) and go from there. This whole concept of TLD's needs to go.
dot-com's will be viewed as a marketing snow job by history - just another attempt at yet another way for your fellow (wo)man to dig more money out of your pocket.
Welcome to the real world, dot-com'ers - hope you, and others, have learned something.
I've been mucking about with computers since the early 80's. Every few years, there is a new thing where the new generation forgets what the old one learned, throwing it all out the window, starts all over again with something 'new', learns something, then the new generation comes along and borks it all up over again.
Linux is a fad. Linux is a religion. I feel sad very for you.
And then vi x.log to see what error messages the X server might be spitting out. I used this trick to configure my SGI 1600SW and Number Nine Revolution IV. Turns out that I had to put in the exact frequency settings for the monitor definition (couldn't leave them out or use a range).
Other choice is, oh horrors!, to visit Xi Graphics and pay money for working, well developed drivers...
Troll eBay looking for either an SGI 1600SW or a Radius Artica ($1500-$1900) - both are the same device: 1600x1024 resolution, wide screen, awesome image quality, uber geek. Only two cards that I know of drive it directly; the now defunct Number Nine Revolution IV or the current 3Dlabs Oxygen VX1-1600. Looks like Xi Graphics have decent X support for both. Otherwise you can get the SGI multi-link adapter ($495) that will take analog DB-15 or DVP/DVI digital inputs and drive it that way. Though, whatever you do, get 100% digital from video card to display. DVI is the current standard in the PeeCee world with support from Matrox, nVidia, ATI on the video card side and more flat panels are coming out that have a DVI-D connector (i.e. Philips 150P) - see Tom's Hardware for a good write up.
Oh just bloody smeggin' great. All we need more of is wankers browsing web sites while driving their SUVs. As if cell phones where not bad enough. Sure, let's increase the level of local radiation, heck, it just might increase genetic mutation and evolution rates.
Bandwidth, kids, bandwidth. Think of the kind of infrastructure it will take to support a major area such as San Francisco/San Jose, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, etc.
Exactly. Who cares about some faggin' kernel when what you want is a nice clean stable distribution that doesn't bloat with everything that they could think of during install.
Theory three is that Intel has been taken over by marketing pukes and is doomed.
All major companies have been taken over by marketing pukes. How else do you a) saturate a market and then b) continue to resell into it? This is the problem both Microsoft, Intel and other large firms are facing: business models are based on constant upgrades (automobile industry too - no the profusion of SUVs and other monstrosities on the road). Think about it...

Ah, dot com wanker.

Isn't PERL, by very definition and existence, obfuscated in the first place? Makes C/C++, heck even that Java butt rot, look good.

Oh, I forgot, that would take some effort.
and Sun (Oracle|IBM|whoever else) isn't?
Sh*t does happen.
Buy three SGI 1600SW's, pop them out of their cases, duct tape them together, voila!

Until some other fad comes along.

Especially if you had one of these SPARC-powered Lienooks Beowulf clusters!
This SPARC-powered Leenooks Beowulf cluster would be much faster than any Itsy Bitsy Mainframe.
