When, 3 years ago, I started developing a FreeDOS distribution called FD-ODIN, I did what MEPIS did, and actually got called on it by the FreeDOS developers themselves (I think it was actually Jim Hall but don't quote me) - even binding my distribution to a specific release of a specific version was not enough (i.e., if all my packages were unmodified out of a final release version, I couldn't just point to that version and say "there's the source"). For future versions, such as my GrODIN project, I did go further, downloaded all the source packages I thought I might need, bundled them whether I used them or not. Better safe than sorry. They have hosted my releases themselves in the past, dunno if the same holds for GrODIN.

Some people prefer the guttier sound of humbuckings to Fender-style pickups. (Yes, I know Fender made guitars with humbuckings too.) And some people don't like the look of the Strat. On "Hotel California", Glenn Frey of the Eagles uses a Gibson EDS-1275 (aka "double-neck SG").
Employer: That's not what I fucking hired them for, they're here to work for me.
Me: I would leave the internal network detached from the Internet and remove all external sources of input except the keyboard/mouse, and put the OS on something read-only. Nothing gets in, nothing gets out. Works for work, not for play.
I'd like to see a full userland based strictly on this and BSD, with as little GNU as possible in it, simply because BSD and Heirloom Toolchest are closer in function to TRUE Unix.

Oh, you mean Hed Rat, not Linux per se.

You do realize that Gibson has a less expensive brand called Epiphone which is just about equivalent?

I think it's more a matter of every game genre can be cloned to death and the GTA-clone genre has reached that point.

Use ZoneAlarm or similar to ban access for all programs except the aohell client?

Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.

Ghod, back in the day,he latest version of DOS was $40, and $40 for Windows 3.1, and everyone was saying it was obscene.

Hey, it's clearer than a similar-sized TV, and it works.

I use a 13" composite monitor with a VCR for a tuner, you insensitive clod!

DNS has been extremely unreliable for me as of late with Verizon.
I asked a friend for his DNS settings (small rural "broadband" ISP) and added the entries to my own. It's reliable, if slow.

O.O
I'd like to find out more about that. From what I heard, Comcrap is leagues better than Ahellphia. Ahellphia is our local cable provider.
Moll.
Same here really. And I pay out the ass mainly so I can run a server without getting TOS'd.

Wouldn't 64N be more likely?

I find 192 kbps adequate for CD quality in mp3, and 128 in ogg vorbis.

Isn't OpenBSD trying to move to Tendra?

How to make Linux not GNU/Linux: For crying out loud, use the BSD userland!

I have Asperger's. I find it frustrating that IRL I cannot use the extreme variety of faces I use in IRC. ~.^
If you saw my chat logs you'd prolly note that a large majority of my lines are emoticons of some sort.

Some things they refer to as briticisms on that list are actually the forms I've always used. I was born and raised in the US. It's not 100%.
Moll.
Nah, an x86 is fine.

Because I want Unix, not Plan 9.

To "GNU/Linux" I personally prefer "Linux+GNU".
To "GNU/HURD" as a full OS? Just call it GNU, since HURD is part of GNU.

Hell, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 will do most of that. And I'm sure there's an MP3 player for Win3.11... :P
