I guess RIT isn't nearly as bad as I thought it was in comparison to other tech schools. I just received my Bachelors from RIT, so I shouldn't bitch too much.
I've got 2 of those POS cards laying around (one 14.4, one 28.8.) FreeBSD has support for them, but trying to find windows drivers was a nightmare. Those 2 packhell machines can be yours for the cost of shipping, I want them out of my living room.:)
SIS is poorly written, very clumsy to walk through and needs a complete rewrite. That, and a serious hardware upgrade for running it. 4 years of SIS is enough for me, I'm done in 5 days. WOO!
I'm assuming you understand technological change, since you're reading slashdot. A semi-auto or full-auto is no more deadly than a single shot firearm. I say this as I'm loading a 10-round magazine for my.22LR. The fact that I don't have to bust my nuts to reload fast is just a technological shift, just as it doesn't take 2 years to compile a kernel for your favorite OS anymore (386 days to p4's, etc.) Technology is just there to make things easier for those who can't perform daunting tasks (reloading a bolt-action at the same firing rate as my Ruger.22.)
"Linuxy" bloat only if you choose to install FreeBSD that way. It would be nice to be able to not install the uucp, ppp and isdn utilities by default, but thats about the only unnecessary crap (in my case, others may use it...) I trash on a minimum install.
So, instead of saying 90 degrees east by 30 degrees north, would could simply say 3/2(pi) by 5/6(pi). Takes away any confusion about direction...
Except 90 degrees east by 30 degrees north gives you an exact point, unlike using pi, which will never give you an exact point. Exactness is the entire reason we measure things.
And then your 36 degree "metric hour" can not be evenly divided into decent subunits, like quarters or thirds or halves. Base 6 allows this rather easily. Base 10 only gives you halves with an integer outcome. Earlier posts explain this quite well.
Is there another number system besides base 6 that allows you to easily convert the earth's rotation of 15 degrees an hour into human readable time? Base 10 is horrible at this.
Do we suddenly change the measurement units for navigation also? 60:60:24 exists for a reason, and directly translates to measurements in navigation (latitude and longitude.) Sounds like a blast.
Force people who want/need to have root access to use 'sudo'. It will log all activities using syslog. This also negates the need to give lowlevel admins the root password (yay!).
Sudo is in the ports collection for FreeBSD, no idea about linux though.
Well, except for the first 16(?) bytes, and if its not a variable bitrate mp3, its headerless. Its been a long time since I've looked at the file structure, and back in the day (WinPlay3 was the only real player...) Fraunhoffer wasn't too keen on releasing any specs. Oh well, Riff6 still works...
They had a segment on the Michael Holigan show (not nearly as cool as Hometime, but that was a rerun on TLC...) where some research institute was developing natural gas burners that burned 20x cleaner than traditional natural gas burners. They use a convection current to super saturate the gas flow with air, burning less fuel in the process for the same output. Even better was the fact that you can hold onto the burner without getting burned because the current pushes the flame away from the burner itself. Try that with a Bunsen burner.

The FreeBSD live filesystem cd (number 3 or 4 in the release) is probably what you're looking for.
Someone with a better command of other languages can do the translations instead.

Get some real hardware, and stop playing with toys.
No Korn or Marilyn Manson, but Styx instead? Rock on, I guess. :)
Are you kidding me? Give up my precious Wegman's? You're truly insane!

Kodak DC 265 and NetBSD... have fun playing around.
IIRC, the Abit Max boards still have a floppy controller. If they got rid of that waste of board space, the Max would be the perfect board.
NetBSD runs on a DC265... :) But its much more fun to play Doom on it though.

Many of the Intel 10/100 pro NICs have the PXE boot ROM, at least all 20 of mine do.

IIRC, it was Compaq, not Phoenix.
RIT blows(see e-mail). :)

And it comes out on August 22nd.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
And on that day, I shall give Hollywood money, only because Kevin Smith is a genius, and Joey Lauren Adams is, umm, amazing.

Didn't Randall wan't to be or talk about Jizz Moppers in Clerks? Maybe it was the Animated series...
What a shitty job that would be.
