I almost modded you troll, actually, but reading down, you seem honest. I personally don't see how you call windows XP easy to use, and XP just looks ugly, not polished.
The poster ends his message with a comment about GNOME development. Now, I love C, but GUI programming is not what it was designed for. How about writing GTK in C++ before we worry to much about needing a whole new language to program in for GNOME. Give C++ a chance.
I'm so glad you have 5 hard drives. It's so realisitic to want that rig quiet.:-p OK, so the Spinpoints might be quiet in small numbers... For some people, a little nutral noise is good for sleep. And those of us that have 3 or 4 systems in our bedrooms learn to live with the noise.
I would hope someone who's going to Slashdot and has read down the page this far knows this. It's one of the biggest abbreviations begind BRB, IMO, and LOL. These are more of IRC type things than "coder" things anyway. "Looked it up on AOL? Well, they certainly know all the wrong times to use these there.
not many names of games are too descriptive of gameplay (e.g. Quake involves no shaking). Most OSS games also have no marketig, so there is no familiarity with a name until perchance your friend finds it in the Debian list or mentioned in IRC...
I'd think you'd know what modules your NICs need, but certainly wouldn't expect this for new users. I recently went from RH to Debian, and rather like it, but man, you NEED THE HELP of someone who ALREADY INSTALLED it. there are little hacks you need to do all the time to keep upgrades smooth get your hardware working. Nothing too hard, but it's not obvious. For a new user to do somthing on his own, it has to be really obvious.
Is this switch to Linux for their servers or for desktops in the company? I had always wondered what powered AOL's massive need for servers. And it is about time AOL did something useful realting to their aquisition of Netscape. Even though the Mozilla code is Free I think the original devers know better how to do this. I also don't think that an AOL browser switch will get rid of every "Best Viewed with IE" button!
This really fits the Japanese model of the home computer (the console, versus our IBM decendents). Linux is ideal for its power and versitility, easily modified by sony and free to distrubute. And the PS/2 is a sweet machine. I wonder if there is a license requirement from Sony to distribute Linux user app binaries? I would cry that the price of the kit is prohibitive, but for me the price of teh unit is prohibitive.
Usualy the wheel can click, acting as the middle button. This can cause problems if you are prone to rolling the wheel while trying to press it. I have Taco's Logitech mouse (or the same model, rather) and the fourth button, on the thumb, is also a "middle button". This solves the above issue. The fact that this is/all/ I can get the fourth button to do is my failure to configure linux.
My favorite mouse ever was my Logitech Series 9, which went into spasms and had to be removed from service. I plan to replace its guts with a wheel mouse some day, giving it every feature I want.
here here. As if.jpeg files were not cool enough. One more reason not to like Macintosh. I thought maybe it was slashdoted, then I thought I should use the Crossover plugin, and then I thought: the burden is on the presenter to get his point accross, and he failed.
I don't know what you are talking about. Unless somthing was deleted by the time I'm reading this, no one did any crazy moding or anything. Perhaps you meant to reply to someone elses thread. Your first lesson as a n00b: learn where to post.
Have we forgotten what the names SUN and BSD stand for anyway? And there are plenty more without cute names. Whole research projects, one time departments, turned into franchises or empires. Forgive their capitalist little hearts, but bright students want to make money.
My roomate and I just waseted 30 CD-Rs this week on this. Now someone puts a better apge up. Why now? Why was this so hard? And what are you wupposed to do with linux on a DC? To little memory to do anyhting big, and the brodband adapters are worth their weight in gold!
If anyone has a broadband adapter, consider loaning/selling it to someone who is trying this (like me).

I don't care if it is improved. Pascal is very
sad. I learned it in high school. It pissed me
off that the teacher thought it was easier to
learn than C. I already know C. It isn't. The
only good reprecusions may be that comercial
apps that just don't get written in Perl and
need better RAD and GUI support than most GCC
compiled apps will be written, strengtening the
Linux software offering.

I think this is really cool, but vector graphics are more important. I hope someone codes a WYSIWYG editor for this, because my brain can handle only so man bad acronyms between . Now just convince MS to adopt this standard.
I like punk, but also some of the clasic stuff, not to offend the mature slashdotters. But that is irelevent. I have a friend who is pretty tech-smart who is big into hip-hop. I can only occasionaly put up with his stuff though. It really depends on ones mood what they listen to. And I also want to say that hard rock is NOT electronica. techno and 80's crap are "electronica". It dosn't matter much what music one likes, atleast concerning their technical skills. Thats why I'm wondering why everone is harping over personality, and not skill.
Anyone notice the moderators have been out en-masse on this? Hard to find a post without somthing.
I just saw an add for another global sat-comm company. Wonder what hardware they use. Don't remember anything else.
Just wonder if they ever learn? Or do they have a trick they think will work?
I don't think all geeks are rich. Only the gainfuly employed. This rules out students and many hobbiests (fools not to get a job in computing...).
And what an expensive hobby. Sure second-hand stuff is educational, but to get some real computing power takes dough. Hey, atleast my software is free.

I really don't see MacOS as an OS where I can do /everythig/. Never really tried, but ...
What happened to MacSlash.org
If thsi si the same thing, why the "new" site?
If it isn't, why don't you leave this to them?

I just might get me one of these. Needs ethernet... Or wireless! I could FP if I stopped hacking long enough to try!
