    Will they roll to the left, or to the right? THAT is what most slashdotters want to know most!

  4. Re:Media on Former Intel Employee 'Disappeared' by U.S. · · Score: 1
    Or maybe they'll just think "wow, great! Got another one of those terrorist bastards!"

    My initial reaction was to post this article to a few music boards I've frequented. I stopped, however, and changed my mind -deciding not to- because they would have just that exact reaction.
  5. Re:Speaking as a Canadian on Former Intel Employee 'Disappeared' by U.S. · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you look at the numbers, Americans are statistically undecided about who they want to be president. Just about half of the people voted one way and the other half another.

    Don't blame ME, I voted for KODOS.

    'Preview'...I can't say I'm familiar with the concept; is that anything like 'reading the instruction manual' or 'asking for directions'?

    Is http://http// a new protocol? My browser doesn't support it, unfortunately. :~(
    I was able to find an http-compliant mirror of the sourceforge quake page here, however.

  9. George Washington, Patriot, dead at 271 on FreeBSD 4.8 Released · · Score: 1

    just heard some sad news on talk radio - Father of American Government George Washington was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to American Revolution. Truly an American icon.

    (might as well burn some of that precious karma. ;))

    FreeDOS runs great in bochs, failing that, it comes with Dosemu (if you're using linux) by default.

    My last gf was using Linux in 95; and she's a long ways from the IT field.

    She used it 'cos at the time unix (we know linux isn't unix, thanks) powered this new-fangled thing called the internet...

    By all accounts, Linux should have taken over in 96 or 98. ;)

  22. Re:Why? on FreeBSD Users: Time To Patch Sendmail Again · · Score: 3, Funny

    And yet FreeBSD can run Linux apps under Linux emulation faster than Linux can. I find that pretty funny.

    I'll be amused when OpenBSD can run Linux apps in FreeBSD compatibility mode faster than FreeBSD can.
  23. Re: think 64 bit on FreeBSD From Scratch · · Score: 1

    I have yet to figure out wether or not there's any benefit to the make world + cflags combo for those of us using older (i686) cpu's. I can say that in my personal experience things such as gnome and mozilla didn't seem to benefit from being compiled with --march=k6 (I'm sure there's a ton of flags I forgot, however).

    As far as for-certain-cpu distributions go; aren't most Linux cpu's still compiled for i386 computers?

    Of the BSD's I have tried ( OpenBSD and FreeBSD ), neither are 'outdated', development for them is not 'slow', and they a certainly not 'stale'.

    Of the BSD's you have mentioned, OpenBSD cannot run Mozilla, and has zero support for SMP. In many people's opinion, that makes it 'stale'.
