OK, I see the ploy, they wait for me to buy a winmodem, then switch to Linux, then be nice and give away the modem, THEN THEY RELEASE THE DRIVERS!
Well, atleast I have RoadRunner now
I'd say average is like +1 or so, because of the thousands or so people who only read for the comments.
I had a low Karma of -25 before I got a new nick.
You would be able to say, get car-parts plans or something from a website, or a program, say Gnutella, then make them yourself, with only the cost of the 3d burner and not the store.
OR Stores would be able to make them on request, without keeping alot of stuff in stock
I'm 15, I enjoy playing computer games.
I have UT, Q1-3, SOF, and many many more (all the way back to wolfenstein).
I own a gun, a Semi-automatic.22 with a 10 shot clip and a 5x scope, I can shoot within a 6 inch radius circle from 100yards (I know this from experience). I also own a cross-bow, and can hit withing a 1'circle from 25 yds. I often shoot clay-pigeons with my dad, Using a 12 gauge shotgun, I can hit 7 out of 10 clay pigeons.
Does this mean I'm going to go shoot up my school?
Heck no, I'm more worried about the people who have no clue about guns, and therefore have no respect for them. I have respect for guns, I only touch it when I am shooting it, or cleaning it, not to play around or point it at things.
A guy in my Drafting class is different, he goes hunting with friends all the time, 4 15-17 year old guys out in the woods with shot-guns, he has been shot at numerous times, because his friends "Thought he was a deer".
I am not the kind of person that would shoot up a school, that kind of guy is the one who looks like crap, smokes in the Rest-room with the Principal right out-side, and mouths off to teachers. That is the kind of guy we need to take out back and shoot through the temple so we don't have to pay his welfare check every month after he drops out of school when he gets old enough.
Get them RHCE certified.
That should teach them quit bit,
thyen some minor training on other unices may be required.
And teach them to always, always, read the read-me or man page
You sir are an idiot. Suns computers are meant to be high end workstations and servers, not GAMING platforms. Do you need a Geforce 2 for a workstation? Hell no!
And a 400mhz Alpha or Spark will beat the pants off a 1200mhz AMD anyday.
I read the ad on IBM's site,
it said it required no drivers for WinME or 2000,
what about Linux (it won't be a hard hack) but i saw no drivers for Win95/98!
I'm doing the same thing in my drafting class at highschool. It has to span 10 inches, be atleast 2 inches high, and less that 4 inches high.
We get 30 feet of 1/8 inch Balsa wood.
The record last year was like 98 pounds,
I hope to make about 30 or so.
This sounds like a perfect machine to hack!
I mean, why do you need 500mhz for a net-PC?
sounds like all you need is a Harddrive, and for 200$ you can't beat it!
Do you want people to have to wait on your website or wait for a DHCP address or such while you harddrives spin up? Thats what gets annoying about my home DHCP server, but it would drive me crazy to listen to an old HD trying to spin all day.
Is there a way you could only use the power managment at night though?
Equals Mandrate!
No seriosly,
I wish Redhat would be as easy to set-up as Mandrake (it installed Glide and Mesa for me, can't get much better than that!)
I was never able to actually get Mesa to compile on my system (Don't tell me how! I'm sick of it by now) But mandrake had it compilled for me the first time I booted my system.
It also did all kinds of things like installed
Tux-racer (I thought it was cool) and setup my cd-burner.
I wish Redhat would do this without the bloatyness of Mandrake, as mandrake automatically setup Apache, and a bunch of other crapp (what the heck is Zope anyways?)
Maybe now instead of actually blowing each other up, we can just play war games.
Or we can have the to presidents (kings, dictatores, etc) just play thumbwar!
I was watching Junk-yard-wars the other day (the one were they built the rocket). THey pulled two brand-new rocket engines OUT OF THE BACK OF A TRUCK!!!! what kind of junk-yard is this?
Heck man,
I'm in the 10th grade, and our MCSE quit because he was so stupid.
Now we have some senior that thinks he know what he's doing, but just thinks its cool the fool around on the servers and mess stuff up. I don't know much about winNT, but I know it shouldn't be down more than once a week. I asked him if he had ever thought of using Linux or *BSD on the boxes, and he just stared at me like "Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel" and asked what that was?
We had some program for typing in the Typing Lab, called NewDeal, which sucked, I sugested Abiword or StarOffice, or switching to Linux and using KOffice. He just said he was happy with NewDeal, even though the Typing teacher was begging the guy to get something else. So basicaly he was afraid to get out of his range of knowledge.
Anywho, I have access to a pentiom 120, and some 486's, how hard and how long do you think this would take to setup as a webserver?
Slashdot Mirror
I have friend who is going for a month to a place in Washington called Digikey.
Its for high-school level people, and it teaches you to program.
OK, I see the ploy, they wait for me to buy a winmodem, then switch to Linux, then be nice and give away the modem, THEN THEY RELEASE THE DRIVERS!
Well, atleast I have RoadRunner now
looks like it took 1/2 as much space
Are you the dude that swallowed it?
I know he's on Slashdot somewheres.
I'd say average is like +1 or so, because of the thousands or so people who only read for the comments.

Nothing says love like a slashdot T-shirt

I'm 15, I carry no ID, about 2 months ago I bought Q3 from Walmart, no problemo!
Some guy at a school near me got expelled for pointing a chicken-finger at a teacher and saying "pow-pow" or somehting.
I still use a SB16 as my main soundcard.
It sucks, and can barely play a mp3, but it works

No, I can only bench about 130lbs
Dude, I'm about 6'3" and weigh about 190, and I'm right around normal. I used to weigh 250, and wasn't considered to much of a fat-ass.
Umm, Dude, if your just gonna heave that server in the dumpster, how about I give you an address you can "Heave" it on over to? I'll pay shipping ;-)
