For fucks sake! If you're going to pay for Windows 98 you might as well also pay for VMWare.
On the other hand if you're going to pirate Windows 98 you may as well also pirate VMWare.
VMware is hundreds, read that again: hundreds of dollars; windows 98....isn't.
Also, the version which I'm using is an upgrade version I have which came with a used laptop I paid $50 for a couple years back. When it asks for the windows disks I'm upgrading from, I throw in the windows 3.1 disks I've had sitting around since 94.
As far as vmware goes. vmware will not switch to fullscreen mode because of weirdness with DGA under X which I could not fix even after spending a fair amount of time googling for it; that alone puts it in the not-for-thirty dollars camp, and definately not for hundreds of $$$.
Sorry that I wasn't clearer; I meant that mainstream computer users won't adopt linux until it is able to run the applications that they rely on.
And no, right now wine and codeweavers don't cut it (I can just imagine telling someone "yeah, here's a free operating system for ya, you just have to pay to run anything you need to run" LOL!)
In the last 10 years much, MUCH better web forum software has come down the pike (such as scoop and phpbb). While slash was great in the mid 90's, it's looking a bit worn and dated now that it's the mid 00's.
I've spent the last few days beating my head against the wall trying to get windows 98 to cooperate with qemu. While the novelty of being able to serve up netbsd/whatever service to isp customers is nifty, the real need for virtualisation is to run windows applications under linux that people rely on to the point of not being able to adopt Linux.
Xen does not, and can not address that need, so it's useless for mainstream linux.
f he makes the source code for pearpc downloadable/packaged with with cherry and acknowlodges somewhere in the eula that its pearpc rebranded than while he has morally been an asshole he hasnt violated the gpl, has he?
Good question, I think we need to ask Did he ackwnoldge it anywhere, and IS there any pointer or download site for the pearpc code he used?
Your memory is either fucked, or you are just pretending to have been "in the scene". ARCHIE and Veronica, not Jughead, moron. And if you weren't on the 'net back in the BITNET days, you are a fucking newbie so shut the hole in your head, bitch.
Le sigh
Just on the very off chance you were correct about my memory, I did a very quick google search and, lo and behold:
JUGHEAD
Jughead is a version of Veronica that has been designed to search gopher menus at a restricted set of gopher holes (e.g., only documents located on the home gopher or only a collection of gopher servers at a particular University). Jughead has many selective uses on gopher, but unlike Veronica, you won't find his name on a Gopher root menu. He is what Ed Krol likes to call "the searcher you never see." He's usually there, however; just look for a search option labeled something like this:
Search all the Gopher menus at this site
That's Jughead, Archie's good buddy, (or, if you prefer, Jonzy's Universal Gopher Hierarchy Excavation and Display -- another "stretch"). You'll see Jughead implemented all over gopherspace, because he allows quick and effective searching of specific sites.
Now, tell me again, who wasn't where my flame-spewing pal?

Netscape Turns 10

· Score: 1
"Mozilla rools, Netscape drools"; remember that simple maxim and you'll never go wrong!
You are lucky! I ran Netscape (3.something? Gold?) on a 486/33 with 4 MB RAM... That was in the beginning of 1998 (when the computer was already 5 years old). I did have a 14,400 modem, and at times the computer would take longer rendering sites than it took for the data to come in. Seriously though, for WWW, this setup was pretty unusable, but it was fine for E-Mail.
Heh, until I tried Mozilla 0.92 I used to alternate between lynx on linux and netscape three on windows 95...on a 486 (but with 16 megs of ram, which made an amazing amount of difference).
I was in a discussion recently and someone asserted that the source for solaris 8 was open, and freely available. Is there any truth to this, or were they thinking of the rumour that solaris 10 is supposedly going to be OSS?
I agree with you; instead of people changing the system so that they don't take the losses that sun did, they will instead flood the courts in hopes of making the easy money that kodak made.
when PC and non-violence destroyed Saturday morning TV ("Oh dear, children might see Johnny erupt in flames and try to emulate their animated role model and pour gasoline all over themselves and strike a match! Won't someone please think of the children!')
The inclusion of "H.E.R.B.I.E." had NOTHING to do with "PC"; re-read the fucking IMDB link:
The actual catalyst for Herbie's creation was the simple fact that the TV rights to The Human Torch had already been optioned as part of the development deal between Marvel Comics, Universal Studios and CBS-TV, which resulted in prime-time, live-action versions of Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Dr. Strange. The character was just not legally available for use in these cartoons.
...Darth Cheney has told you...but we don't have a single shred of personal proof to back it up. Noooo...they wouldn't want to spell it out for us. That'd spoil all the fun of trying to terrorize US citizens into voting for Alfred E. Neuman again.
The worst part about not being republican is people who supposedly oppose them the way that I do cannot be bothered to engage in mature, rational discourse.
The administration is going on what information they have, given that this contact information could easily give terrorists an opening to do damage, law enforcement would be remiss in their duties if they didn't investigate it.
"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety."
Sorry, I don't consider publishing the personal, home contact information for public figures to be an essential liberty.
It's pretty clear that wether the raid was because of that,or because they were recklessly exposing the work of swedish undercover police -indymedia went well beyond any defensible concept of free speech and into the realm of aiding and abbetting criminal and/or terrorist activity.
and it's truly worth dying for. However, it's widely known that the terrorists are looking for any oppertunity to make a signifigant strike during the elections.
And, by publishing the information that they did, indymedia potentially handed them that oppertunity on a silver platter.
Personally, I think that sometimes free speech needs to take a back seat to preserving the lives of our citizens, even if they are politicians.
Microsoft also shares source; but they're a long, long way from being open source. One notable point that differentiates GNU and modern OSS from the Unix/Microsoft models is that the former explicitly give you the right to modify and distribute the source. The original Unix licences most certainly did not give you the right to redistribute them.
The GNU movement started on old Unix computers, and was aimed in part at them; so why do you think it is that the first wave of unix users were so resistent to the concept of Open Source?
Slashdot Mirror
this is a discussion about community projects, and slash was specifically mentioned.

On the other hand, blender3d's UI is almost unusable.
The commercial internet was young at that point. IIRC, 1996 was the year that the net went from being academically to primarily commercial.
Caveat: I got on the net in 96, so I have no idea what it would have "before it became commerical" (esp what w/ aol stinking up the froups!).

Tell me about it. And 'google'? WTF is a 'google'? Bah! If I can't find it on Jughead or Veronica, it's not worth finding!
txt file vulnerability anyone!?!

There's nothing funny about buffer overflow attacks.

That is a restricted group; GNU software was the first to specifically allow access to anyone.
That's what that whole "free as in speech" bit was about, in contrast to the "free as in amongst-a-closed-group-of-licensees" culture of the time.
