I'm not sure how personalized and fading menus help. When I use windows, those are the first things I turn off, with tweak ui I turn off all animations and set the menu scroll speed to maximum, after all, I want to start my program right now, not watch animated words magically appear on my screen.
The fun project to explore the i386 was not clouded by visions of piles of money and strippers in a bar.
2.0 was smp-aware, Windows 98 _still_ isn't and never will be. 2.2 and 2.4 improved on it alot.
I realize SQL Server is great, fortunately there is more than one SQL server out there, and some of them are free.
Linus was joking about world domination when Linux users were in the 6 digits, now there are stories about it on every web page, newspaper, magazine and news television.
Linux 2.4.0
"It'll be out any day now..."
You may think 2.4 is "late" but do you realize how late Microsoft's latest and greatest NT5 was?
2.4.0 will be out when it is done, and not before, perfection, not delivery dates drives this project.
I'm sure you are proud of your experience there and the work you did, but do the products coming out of Microsoft reflect "and the development environment always encouraged "off the beaten path" thinking" ?
My opinion is no. Reinventing symlinks, reinventing network protocols (with proprietary extensions that gain no functionality at all except to break cross platform compatibility), and integrating the browser into the Windows kernel are not my idea of advancements in personal computing.
So, the question is when are we going to start seeing the fruits of this multi-billion dollar R&D that Microsoft is funding by increasing the cost of thier operating systems and office suites
by 100% per year?
When win95 was out
"Windows 98 is going to be super duper!"
When win98 was out
"Win98SE is going to have increased fun and super happy ok gaming!"
When Win98SE was out
"Win2k is going to have the best of NT and 98 - plug and play, directx and stability (admitting unstable windows 98)"
Now that Win2k is out
"Whistler is going to be really really good"
See the flip side of all this is that they are admitting that thier previous releases are unacceptable sub-par pre-beta crap.
Customers consult with me about Windows ME, know what I say? Don't even bother, its Windows 98SE with some fluff. $129 for a new name.
I install Windows 2000 on WHQL hardware.
I went to change the default wallpaper, and Win2k locked hard, having to hit the reset button.
I hit "use current" in Internet Options to set the homepage, it froze solid, with the sound making the same stupid windows "ding" stuttering in an infinite loop. Hard reboot.
Oh, I installed SP1, and now black and white pages being printed out on my out-of-the-box supported printer take over a minute PER LINE.
There is no way for me to fix this, I haven't got a fucking clue what Microsoft did to cause this. When I try to "uninstall" SP1, it says "Setup will uninstall the Service Pack 1 but will not uninstall the Service Pack 1" and I hit OK and it exits. I did choose to backup files so that I may uninstall it later. Now for me to print, I need to reinstall Windows 2000 (takes over an hour) and not install SP1.
I'm pretty sure Slackware doesn't "probe" your cpu to tailor the install.
Why would the Slackware setup hose on this? It just assumes everyone has a i386 cpu, you want Pentium optimized binaries and kernel, compile it your fucking self.
There are several applications that allow you to do this. Using OSR2 cuts down on the bloat even more, so running OSR2 in a window is probably faster than running WinME or Win2k natively.
The Samba project aims to ease the use of heterogenous networks, that is, networks with many different types of computers and operating systems. Everything Microsoft Windows comes with out of the box aims to monopolize the network with Microsoft only products and protocols.
Companies were doing 3D on computers before Bill Gates coded that shit in University, who the fuck are you trying to kid?
Slashdot Mirror
If that was me I would use my lack of knowledge of the office network and layout to my advantage.
"Where is the server?"
"What's the CEO's password?"
"Where is the CEO?"
"Why is this person in my way?"
See, since I don't know the network at all, I can manipulate you into fixing it for me, and that skill alone is worth hiring me for!!
They actually ban ip blocks?
I seem to recall that slashdot will never censor thier forums, in fact that was the crux of the whole Microsoft Kerb5 thing.
Banning ip blocks to prevent posting to the forum is CERTAINLY censorship.
I also recall hearing him critique the MacOS subsystem during the development of Quake 3.
It was not good, in fact, it was very, very, very bad.
where can i get the source for the binary only nvidia drivers?
It would be nice if the judge could look at the case from an impartial stance like this, purely based on law.
However, like the American election that just took place, big money and big corporations control the courtroom, this DVD kid is going to get squashed.
Do you actually believe anything will happen to Microsoft with thier antitrust suit?
No, for the same reason.
That kid is going to San Quentin

Yeah right.
Want to hear my story about stability?
I install Windows 2000 on WHQL hardware.
I went to change the default wallpaper, and Win2k locked hard, having to hit the reset button.
I hit "use current" in Internet Options to set the homepage, it froze solid, with the sound making the same stupid windows "ding" stuttering in an infinite loop. Hard reboot.

And they charge money for this.
That's just the patch from 2.2.17->2.2.18
its almost 13 megs uncompressed.
I rebooted so many times, now look at MY version number!

'uname' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Who is going to buy Win2k Datacenter Advanced Server or whatever the hell they are calling it?
It costs MORE than the 64-way Intel server hardware!
"microkernel/macrokernel hybrid OS (kinda like NT)"
Where are you getting this shit?
Everyone knows Win NT is a hack of OS/2 and Windows 3.1
No one is buying this 1994 era propaganda anymore.
Run Windows in a XWindow, where it belongs.
There are several applications that allow you to do this. Using OSR2 cuts down on the bloat even more, so running OSR2 in a window is probably faster than running WinME or Win2k natively.
WinNT on the Alpha was still 32bit.
Windows is still 16 bit.
So in answering your question, No.

I would be glad to beta test and submit bug reports on your new file sharing network product that you are developing to replace NFS and SMB.
I hope to hear back from you soon.

You could fire up "xev' and whack the keys and write down the keycode they send. Then use xmodmap to map them to a usable key or command.
I enjoy using Linux more than I enjoy using Windows #(insert version or year here).
How does that apply to your business model?
so what was your sig anyway?
One of the few window managers that doesn't look like Windows95 .
