At UT austin my OS class was taught using Minix, and the sad thing is that they printed the full source in the book. So the book was several hundred pages of crap.
If your rich (like me,) then you can pay $2000 a plate to meet Clinton. (I did.)
Here is a photo of me and the pres: Me and Clinton
This would make a nice gift for those that have everything. It is also a great way to support the democratic party.
Soft money baby!!
I don't understand how Linux can complete in the upper end server market, especially against competitors like Microsoft and Sun.
Microsoft is about to release Windows 2000 datacenter which will allow up to 64gig of ram and 32 processors. How can any one company afford that kind of equipment for the development of Linux?
Do you have any plans to recruit companies like Compaq and Dell so that they are major players in the development efforts of Linux? It seems to me that it would be benificial to have companies like this helping to direct the future development of Linux in terms of large scale applications. I realize that these companies are developing drivers and the such, but that isn't really what I'm talking about..
Apache running on Linux on a machine with 32 processors and 64gig of ram, able to out perform anything MS can throw at it. That is what I'm talking about...
You don't need a license to walk down the street, so why should you need a license to surf the web? I could see that a company might need to obtain a license to get a domain name, but not surfing the web.
Kenyon and Kenyon is the best. They represent companies like AT&T and BMG. I run a web site (www.deadabase.com) which was recently sued by the Grateful Dead for copyright infringement. (Distributing mp3's of their music.) I hired Kenyon and Kenyon to come to my defense and we used some hard ball tactics to convince them to free up their music and continue to allow us to distribute the mp3's. It worked and I was pleased with their service. Kenyon and Kenyon has offices in California, NY, Washington DC and Germany. They are the shit.
I personally don't like Irina Krush and I don't like the way she plugs her web site in her analysis on MSN. Her comments are usually longer than the others, but they are also harder to read.
I think Etienne Barcrot is a much better end game player and I choose to vote for his moves over Irina Krush.
This tournament isn't Irina Krush vrs Kasparov, its the World vrs Kasparov. So if Irina misses sending in her analysis, so be it. Its not cheating on Microsoft's part. Etienne missed several analysis while playing in the French Championship and I'm not complaining.
Dude, put 10000 monkies in a room and they'll deficate all over the place until they either kill each other, or die from hunger. They definately won't write Shakespeare.
Facts: 1. Monkies can't write 2. Monkies don't know old english so even if they could write, they couldn't write in old english. 3. Monkies have short attention spans. Therefore, if they could write, and they knew old english, they would never finish a complete sentence. 4. Even if they put you in a room, you couldn't write the complete works of Shakespeare. And your not a monkey. (I'm guessing here.)
Definately UT Austin. I did the undergrad CS program and loved it. I mean, you might as well go to a top school that also resides in one of the largest high tech communities.
I couldn't give two ~!@#$% about the Real World/Road Rules or this guy, but the story was interesting. At least it took my time away from these NT device drivers I'm writing. Damn Microsoft DDK..
If I had the chance to ask this guy a question it would've been:
Real World is sometimes interesting, but Road Rules just plain sucks. It was created as an after thought and is totally boring.
"Why didn't you hack your way onto the Real World?"
At one point MP3.com was worth 6.9 billion, larger than the 6.3 billion value of EMI. It is kind of ironic that they could become larger than one of the big five music companies. It definately makes me feel good to see people making a fortune on the internet. Maybe one day my little mp3 site http://www.astrojams.com will make me a few bucks but until then, I think I'll stick with my day job at Compaq.
Although the southwestern bell guy had to spend two afternoons and re-route some of my phone cable I now have ADSL. I average about 5mb even though live right on the edge of service. I have my ADSL terminal connected to a hub and all five of the computers on my network access the internet with blinding speed.
The only difficulty I had during setup was knowing that you need to either use a crossover ethernet cable to connect the DSL terminal to the hub, or if you use a 3com hub, flick the switch that does crossover. Other than that everything works great. All of my linux and windows boxes work fine.
I see copies of the Matrix floating around on the net already. It won't be long until TPM is also available for download. I'm surprised that Lucas wants to make digital films in the future. Wouldn't that make it easier to bootleg the movies?
If Lucas was smart he would station a guard at each movie theater to watch over the film. When I saw the TPM press junket in NYC two weeks before it was released he had guards watching over the film 24/7. His list of stipulations for movie theaters showing the film it surprises me that he never added "armed guard" to the list.
Finally, a brief comment about the film:
If you are going to build a star destroyer, why put the main reactor in the space port? I mean, some kind of malfunctioning robot or messiah force utilizing kid could blow it up.
I got a chance to see the press junket in NYC three weeks before it opened in theaters. This is my story:
1. Sat behind Roger Ebert 2. Sat next to the president of ILM. He looked 60 years old and his wife looked 25. 3. I had the best seat in the house. (My friend's dad is vice president of fox.) 4. I was wasted about two hours earlier and slowly coming down. 5. Before the movie starts there is some kind of announcement about not taking video camera recordings on the movie. A few seconds later lights go out and the movie starts. No trailers, just straight to the 20 century fox logo.
My comments on the movie: 1. Jedi's are so cool. There really aren't any cool Jedi's in 4,5 and 6. Yoda isn't exactly that tough and all he does is lift luke's space ship. Big fucking deal. Obi-wan gets his ass kicked really easily by Darth. He's 60+ years old, what do you expect. Epsiode 1 has great jedi and great fight scenes.
2. Why didn't the trade federation use storm troopers? It seems to me that droids would be much more difficult to maintain. Epsecially considering that they had thousands of them. And they never really killed anything. They just got their asses kicked. Remember the scene when obi wan is in the hanger and says "I'll take out the droids," and kills a dozen of them with no problem? You'd never see Luke or Han going after a dozen storm troopers. In fact, they ran like hell in Starwars when six or so came at them.
3. Anakin's mom is psycho. Would you let your kid fly a pod racer at 600 miles an hour with people shooting at you and other racers trying to knock you into mountain walls? Hell no!
4. The queen is hot. I never really thought princess Leah was hot. Maybe that was because I was 4 years old when starwars came out.
5. Lucas has some very fucked up family values. Just look at the relationships in his starwars movies: Luke and Leah - Brother and sister. Queen Amilda and Anakin - 16 year old and 9 year old. He's a pedophile incest lover.
6. Jar Jar - Could someone translate his dialog for me?
7. The popcorn I was eating: Provided for free by Fox but had butter on it. My fingers got real sticky.
8. Would I see it again? Definately. Sober? Probably not.
9. Would I buy it on DVD? Sure, when Lucas releases it to DVD in year 2013.

Its tough to be a large company and not be aggressive.

You try taking:
enriched flour (niacin, iron (ferrous sulfate), thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin), water, sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated vegetable and/or animal shortening (contains one or more of: canola oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, beef fat), eggs, and dextrose, and also containing no more than 2% of modified food starch, whey, leavenings (sodium acid pyrophosphate, baking soda, monocalcium phosphate), salt, starch, yellow corn flour, corn syrup solids, mono and diglycerides, dextrin, calcium caseinate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, cellulose gum, polysorbate 60, wheat gluten, lecithin, flavors (artificial, natural), artifical colors (yellow 5, red 40), caramel color, preservatives (sorbic acid)
and come up with something better. Can't be done.
Twinkies also stand up to the tests of science. Check out this site for more information on that: Twinkies Project.

Thats my story.
Free music is widely available on the internet. Not illegal MP3's, but legal ones. I run a huge MP3 database called:
http://www.deadabase.com
We have over 70gigs of free MP3's. The RIAA is scared shitless of what sites like this offer unsigned artists. I say "Fuck em!"
