You are absolutely right, Linux and X11 will never work.
The XFree86 team integrating truetype fonts into its latest release was just futile, no one cares.
And what about the guys who are hacking antialiasing into the toolkits for X? Obviously another waste of time, since we all know that it won't work.
I'm going to go register my copy of Windows 2000 now, since I have been wasting my time learning Linux and XFree86.
Andre is fairly active on the linux kernel mailing list, as he should be, developing IDE stuff.
His posts are just like the answers here in this story, although recently, his posts are generally one-liners, to reduce the "out of his fucking tree on speed" impression that he gives.
His work on Linux ATA/IDE is awesome, so just take his online personality the way it is.
Ockham's razor, also called "law of economy" or "law of parsimony", is a principle stated by William of Ockham, that entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity (non sunt multiplicanda entia praeter necessitatem). This principle was, in fact, invoked before Ockham by Durand de Saint-Pourcain, a French Dominican theologian and philosopher of dubious orthodoxy, who used it to explain that abstraction is the apprehension of some real entity. Galileo did something similar by defending the simplest hypothesis of the heavens, and other later scientists stated similar simplifying laws and principles. It is called "Ockham's razor" because he mentioned the principle so frequently and employed it so sharply. For instance, he used it
to dispense with relations which he held to be nothing distinct from their foundation in things;
with efficient causality, which he tended to view merely as regular succession;
with motion, which is merely the reappearance of a thing in a different place;
with psychological powers distinct for each mode of sense;
and with the presence of ideas in the mind of the Creator, which are merely the creatures themselves.
I have a Asus P5A-B (super 7 AT mobo) and I scored a K6-2 550 for it.
Performance sucked, it seems that other people with this board had the same problems (a k6-2 350 was faster). It turns out, and Asus won't admit it to this day, that the motherboard couldn't supply the cpu with enough power.
Lucky for me my friend had a k6-2 450 in his (better) super7 board, and we did a straight trade. If not for this, I would be stuck with a K6-2 that costs more than a Duron, and without a working computer at all.
RedHat gcc 2.96 is some sort of pre-3.0
RedHat kgcc is just a renamed gcc 2.91.66, same as in RedHat 6.2.
What gives Redhat the right to CVS an unstable development version of GCC and label it the next-in-line version "2.96" as the current usable GCC is 2.95.2.
How about I CVS XFree86 4 and call it XFree86 4.1, think the XFree86 folks would be happy? How about all the sheeple that use my distribution?(everyone knows linux==redhat)
This gives "Linux" a _very_bad_ image.
2 Bad Things are going to happen with NVidia, and you-know-who is responsible.
The binary closed source drivers are not going to be updated any more.
linux.3dfx.com will be shut down and the open source 3dfx drivers are going to be pulled.
This is all part of a plot by Microsoft, if you read back, even in NVidia's news archive, that NVidia got a huge $$$$ deal with Microsoft, it is not hard to see what the "under the table" conditions of this deal is going to be.

Why don't you patch sh-utils so it recognizes x86 processors properly?

Quite frankly, anybody who uses RedHat 7.0 and their broken compiler for _anything_ is going to have trouble.
I don't know why RH decided to do their idiotic gcc-2.96 release (it certainly wasn't approved by any technical gcc people - the gcc people were upset about it too), and I find it even more surprising that they apparently KNEW that the compiler they were using was completely broken. They included another (non-broken) compiler, and called it "kgcc".
They aren't running MSDOS on the fucking thing.
It's about how many processes and threads there are, the operating system deals with the cpu's, applications deal with the OS, get it?

How is using 500 distributed NT boxes more efficient than using one or two boxes running an OS that was designed with networking from the ground up and doesn't have the GUI in ring 0?

You are right.
Linux will never run Microsoft Office. It is stupid to think that Linux and X could ever run Microsoft Office.
I must have been out of my mind to even THINK of running Microsoft Office in Linux.
Thanks for setting me straight. Now everyone knows how it is impossible to do this.
Have you see the source to the Windows 2k kernel?
Tons of gnu tools are available that run on Windows 2000. All the command line tools are there, sort of, they are a little brain-damaged.

XFree86 4 has truetype fonts built in, and if you really want, you can copy the Microsoft ttf files over and use those too.
By the way, anti aliasing is disabled by default in Windows, better check your display settings.

Redhat really fucked up this time.
Either switch distributions, or downgrade to Redhat 6.2

My LILO prompt doesn't include an option for installing a free copy of Windows ME.
Did I miss something here? Did they package Windows ME inside the new 2.4 kernel?
I seriously doubt "hot chicks" could even get close to Linus, his wife is the Karate champ in Finland.
I would pay real money to see them upgrade any of thier MacOS line to MacOS 10.

Up until now I was totally confused about the Microsoft monopoly and trial and all that.
Your circular logic has totally cleared up any confusion. Thanks!!
