  1. we could kill all of the Windows users on Mandrake 7.2 in Wal-Mart: A Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    hey, it is a thought.
    So many people are afraid to buy and use a computer because they have heard horror stories from someone they know, mostly due to Windows shameless instability. And people who do own computers are not simply going to give up on all of their Windows software. Until Wine can run every Windows program at an acceptable speed (maybe use multiple processors) people are not going to switch.

  2. kind of sad that Be does not care anymore on Explaining The Symbiosis Between QNX RtP & Linux · · Score: 1

    about it's bread and butter: artists who did not want Windows and MacOS for obvious reasons.
    Especially since Steinberg was starting to port its Cubase product.
    There are so many musicians who are tired of Windows regularly losing their work.

  3. everything but the kernel will be open-source on Explaining The Symbiosis Between QNX RtP & Linux · · Score: 1

    Everything. And if you want the kernel source just open the kernel in sourcer or any disassembler, because it is written in assembly. And QNX is available for other architectures, too.

  4. Even Jesus drank wine on Has D.A.R.E Been Effective? · · Score: 1

    He turned water into wine at a wedding.
    He did not get drunk, though.

  5. Re:NDS and caching -UNLESS- "MANOS" = hand of fate on Is Novell Doomed? · · Score: 1

    Something that people have always liked about Novell is it's excellent technical support.
    Perhaps Novell could give its source-code to Timpanogas [www.timpanogas.net, ftp:vger.timpanogas,net] and provide tech-support.
    They will not make a killing, but hey, it's better than being dead.

  7. are you fucking drunk? on Atari Founder Debuts Linux-Based Game Machines · · Score: 1

    if you are drunk these classic games are going to seem a lot more fun. I have seen machines like these in arcades that have card games, tetris, and bubble bobble. Usually girls are playing on them. Not to say that girls do not ever play Capcom Vs Marvel or NBA Jam, but how many girls do you know like to play complex games that require a couple of years honing your skills to play them well? I never was good at Quake or Doom until I got into college and spent way too much time playing them. And I still do not have a very good aim.

  8. Re:Windows Devices (OT) on Atari Founder Debuts Linux-Based Game Machines · · Score: 1

    Maybe they can use QNX now that the pricing for their licenses are down-to-earth

  9. QNX is also good for... on The Rise Of QNX · · Score: 1

    I have not done any benchmarking on this, but I would presume running a distributed.net client under QNX would be an excellent way to get maximum use of your processors time.

  10. C and C++ were HOAXES! on Internet C++: Competition For Java And C Sharp? · · Score: 1
  11. actually you do not have to port your code on Internet C++: Competition For Java And C Sharp? · · Score: 1

    This is not a new language. Internet C++ is a misnomer. This is a virtual machine for C and C++ that links to the GNU C library. Think of it as a c/c++ interpreter.

  12. Hurd is based on the Mach microkernel, BSD license on HURD For 'Big Iron'? · · Score: 1

    Make sure that you cannot spill the coffee! That would be a MESS.

  14. my momma on Tetris Study Reveals Dreaming's Role In Memory · · Score: 1

    always told me to go to bed early, though I did not understand why, since I cannot do anything when I sleep. Now I have a reason why. Sometimes you have to trust that they have your best interests at heart, though the reasons are not immediately evident.

  15. Re:Equations. on Tetris Study Reveals Dreaming's Role In Memory · · Score: 1

    actually, a famous mathematician used to keep a notebook besides his bed because he would come up with solutions to his absolutely most difficult abstract problems in his sleeping dreams. And it is so easy to forget a dream, because, pedantically speaking, you are unconscious.

  18. watch out for FreeBSD 5.x on Apache 2.x on Apache vs IIS in Performance? · · Score: 1

    In my opinion this test has is similar to the one Mindcraft had. With the SMP patches from BSDi FreeBSD is going is going to be an amazingly scalable operating system. Does anyone know why they did not include FreeBSD in the SpecWEB 99 test? I think a neat test would be to network two of the exact same machines together with a ethernet or gigabit card, one running FreeBSD or Linux and the other running Windows 2000 server. Then have them simultaneously ping flood each other while fetching files via ftp and http and port scanning each other. Have the FreeBSD or Linux machine running KDE or GNOME with a secretary running WordPerfect and typing a letter dictating by her boss while she does not even know that the machine is doing all this stuff on it to have it compare equally to the Windows 2000 GUI with the same office setup. Then see who crashes!
