Drops All Non-relevant results! Tired of getting results for Debian and RedHat when you only care about Slackware? We filter based on the OS you care about, so you don't have to!
Doesn't track where you go at all! We don't see what links you try, we have a magical formula to determine our demographics, without cookies, without logging GET and POST data, and without cheating with autoredirects!
downloads instantly to your PC! We don't waste time with any graphics, for we know all you want is the search data. We don't send you tons of graphics for the advertisements we don't have!
Auto Mind-Meld Technology! Our process is based on that which Paramount Studios developed for Mr. Spock on Star Trek(tm), enabling us to automatically know exactly what you want without needing keyboard input whatsoever! You just think of what you want, and you have it! No fuss, no muss!
... back in my day, we didn't have any http search tools. I had to walk twelve miles, buck naked, in the snow to find a terminal with access to an archie client, and we didn't have no graphics neither! we had to read binary code to interpret our results, if we even got any over out 110 baud connection! and sometimes the results would be in swahili, and we didn't know what to make of what we downloaded, but we were happy! not whining snot nosed little brats like yourselves, who are mad because you can't find that naked picture of Britney Spears or haven't broken 88TB of mp3s downloaded, so stop sniveling!
I remember when Altavista had really cool search strings, designed so people who knew boolean logic could use them. Then Compaq bought them and took it away. I remember when HotBot found exactly what I was looking for, then it died. Now Google? Geez. It would be nice for something to stay good, but business seems to break that which works well every time.
I plan to build a car MP3 player as well, and I don't plan to use a hard disk at all. I'm either going to order a decently sized M-Systems Disk on Chip and use burned CDs for mp3s, or I'm going to just do a 'live CD' type boot, not needing a hard disk. even cooler would be a DVD-RAM burn of mp3s, to get all on one DVD, and an older DVD-ROM in the car. As long as enough ram is present, and the player is configured to buffer or load the song into memory before playing I don't see how this will be a problem. For a board, Amptron makes an integrated video/sound/network monstrosity, and while a horrid thing for desktop computers it would probably work fine in a single-purpose solution. But regardless, using a hard disk can be avoided entirely, and I think should.
To be honest, I don't personally care if it is election year politics or not. I don't want sensitive information regarding things like SSN, tax information, or any other materiel to be able to be seen, malarkyed with, or erased. If congress is trying to discredit the current administration for problems, well, Al Gore did claim to be the father of the Internet, maybe he deserves a little heat for stupid claims not thoroughly thought out.
...where I'm going to school, and basically anyone who knew how to change their software to not default to these portals or to ask the lab help technician changed them. People went where they felt like going, and usually set default start pages to be what they had at home or in their dorm room PC if they didn't have lan access. I hope this one flops too, I'm already tired of the commercialization of the student union building, and all of the enormous costs of being in school already...

Upgrading from socket7 -> Slot 1 usually took a new power supply, 486-> Pentium did too (AT -> ATX) and for my Dell 300MHz, upgrading to an Athlon is going to require a new case and power supply as well.
Well, the power supply thing can apply somewhat, but not really. Many AT form factor boards, not made by Amptron/PCChips, but by decent companies like ASUS, supported Slot 1 and Super Socket 7, and Socket 370's appeared not too long ago in that design. These all worked on a standard AT power supply, though you lacked the nifty ATX power off features. As for the form factor itself, later this year (when I can finally afford it), I wanna put an AMD K7 and AT board (If I can find one) into this old IBM 8086 PC that I have laying around, so I can scare people at LAN parties when I lug it in... *grin*. It doesn't matter really for power, or it shouldn't, so I think that requiring changes like this is very, very absurd. And a one pound heat sink? that's sick! Why don't they just work on the internals of the chip instead, instead of playing a 'we have a XXX megahertz chip too!' game? Intel used to have good stuff, but lately, they suck
I somewhat expect to get flamed for this, but what the hell...
Having used Linux as a toy since the 2.0.0 kernel, and having played with Slackware, RedHat, Debian, and SuSE, I have seen strengths and weaknesses in all of them. It seemed like people were bickering back and forth between each other over really, really trivial differences. I mean, come on people, if you're truly qualified to be working as a SysAdmin, you should know your platform, WHATEVER platform you choose, so points like were mentioned are irrevelant.
If you don't know your OS, get a different job. I don't consider myself a Linux admin, despite the fact that I don't use anything else, because all I do is play. I don't know how many slashdotters actually do admin, but I would venture a guess that it is significantly smaller than the total number of geeks posting. It's easy to install an out of the box Debian, RedHat, SuSE, etc, and set up server daemons, and call yourself an admin, but that doesn't make you any better than any idiot who "borrowed" his company's NT Server CD and installed it at home on PC on his cablemodem. Sometimes, it seems like _everyone_ has forgotten why admins are paid well, and that is because they haven't just taken a stupid course at some tech school and passed some lameass test somewhere. They learned through experience, by fixing problems, and by dealing with system crackers from time to time. It's brains that make a sysadmin work, not where the downloaded their OS or what small workarounds, bugs, implementations, etc, need changing.
I personally don't like Debian, I had problems installing earlier versions (2.0 range) that caused the console to stop accept console input for whatever reason, but if other people do like it, fine. If they want it as a server and know what they need/want to fix, let them have at it. It's not like they paid anything for it. I'll stick with my Slackware installation, where they assume that you will handle the little patching and downloading of new daemons. In the mean time, remember that they are the ones developing, and if you want it different, stop bitching and join 'em. If they're being 'leet, and don't want you helping with development, screw them and move to a different disto. Whatever you do, stop whining. It's annoying...
Windows Chicago Build 112 (later renamed to Windows 95) _seemed_ more stable than the release version, Build 950. Microsoft can build stable products, they just don't make it to market until all the necessary bugs are added...
Yes, but how many of these MS platform applications can't be ported to a different operating system, are unmaintained, or are running on a version of Windows that needs to be upgraded? Embedded systems in my experience don't usually get large OS revision upgrades, just service packs to fix broken features. If a company is developing for a platform, and the platform changes, don't they usually just account for the changes, rewrite what needs to be implemented differently, and continue on from there?
I had meant the end salary of the techs. I worked a $59.00/hr place that didn't want to pay me jack, and in the field they charged $129.00/hr. Remember, the techs don't get the whole salary.

Yes, but how many of these MS platform applications can't be ported to a different operating system, are unmaintained, or are running on a version of Windows that needs to be upgraded? Embedded systems in my experience don't usually get large OS revision upgrades, just service packs to fix broken features.
