They're just hiding it to make it harder for virus/worm writers to find it.:^)
The / was the default switchchar, but you could change that in config.sys until DOS 3.0 or so. (Not that many programs bothered to check with DOS to see what switch to use.)
And that's why I didn't. Besides, I would have added rather than replaced CDs. At least adding a card explaining that this is an old version, where to get a new version, and why putting 6.2 out on the net would be a really really bad idea.
I was checking around the stacks at my local library and saw that they had a Learn Linux book (Yah!) but the installation CD was for RedHat 6.2 (Uhoh..) I was very tempted to slip a recent install into the book along with a card explaining it.
The Airzooka vortex gun is interesting, but I bet that you could have a lot more fun by injecting a flammable gas/liquid into the vortex, and then igniting it either after launching or when it hits a target.
Don't try this at home kids -- try this at someone else's home!
They mention all the cool toys and stuff to run your own NOC, but leave out the most important part: LUSERS!
What's the point of being Napoleon and BOFH of your own NOC if you don't have lusers to abuse? I think I might have an answer, however.
Tapping the vast pool of cheap out-of-work IT workers, LUSERS'R'US can provide a simulated load of lusers on your network -- Even with an adjustable rate of phone calls with silly-assed questions and problems for home NOC commanders to deal with.
If you want to be a real BOFH, you can't reign in hell without some damned souls to boss around. You need us. You need LUSERS'R'US!
I'm surprised that she claims to be a small time spammer. (Living in the same swamp as Scelson?) Most spammers in news stories claim to be some kind of spammer royalty. There have been a few pretenders to the "king of spam" throne and a spam queen or two.
I'd like to see some variation. I'd like to see a spam pope.
To be more accurate, I'd like to see a spam pope on a rope.
From some of the comments, it might just have a serial interface that a USB interface can be added to.
Hmm, 8051 core. That would be a damned nice little gizmo to have a bunch of for whatever. (I'll mention this on comp.arch.embedded to increase the slashdotting.) If nothing else, they'd make cheap security cameras, telescope add-ons, robot vision.. whatever!
Is there any chain in Canada that would have them before they disappear?
You wish! There's all the Mordor rebuilding to be done and installing a responsible government. And the political situation with Umbar is still unsettled, continuing problems with the Elvish homeland, Moria repatriation...
You think it just goes three books and bang, it's over?
Slashdot Mirror
This is Slashdot. Of course I'm going to boldly make the same cheap shots that everyone else has done before.. ;^)
ITYM Some Crappy Other OS. I keep expecting the obligitory post stating that "some other OS is dying".
Didn't Milton write something about "Better to reign on desktops than servers in Heaven"?
The / was the default switchchar, but you could change that in config.sys until DOS 3.0 or so. (Not that many programs bothered to check with DOS to see what switch to use.)
It wasn't the only game back then, but a lot of the others are gone now. (Crushed by the Evil Penguin Empire, bwahahaha! :^)
Up 2 points of informative for my post? Now you people are really starting to scare me! :^P

A few years ago, someone on Slashdot posted a link to a place that makes leather handyman kilts.
Just sleep in an extra 39 minutes every morning. It works for me!
Think of it as an opportunity! If we can cause enough interest and FUD, maybe there'll be some jobs created to fix the H24 problem.
If it's dangerous and geeky, someone on Slashdot will have tried it. :^P Did you try firing an unlit ring at a candle across the room?

You got it. All the news reports describe his state as confused. (No confirmation that he keeps muttering "Make it stop! Make it stop!")

Maybe so, but Slashdot removes the accent from any character in a post these days. (At least with the ones I've tried.)
Was a "student stereo" with AM/FM, record player, cassette, 8-track. I had all media types covered!
So they make a digital uberdevice that does everything. Then what do they sell next xmas?
For $10, it would be nice if this could be used as a general purpose USB interface for other projects. (I'd RTFA, but it's pining for the fjords.)
Would you take a hacked CueCat in exchange?
Definitely not Linux. When they pulled him out of his hole, Clippy was on his laptop screen: "I see you're trying to devise an escape plan..."

My king of diamonds is Darl, who's still at large along with Al Ralsky and others. If only Darl would STFU and go into hiding...
