  1. Re:Top Secret!! AMD's marketing plan on K7 Info · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has a similar plan....

  2. Re:who else belongs to the bsd family? on Usenix: Darwin Welcomed by BSD Community · · Score: 1

    I heard that too, supposedly, NT is based on Mach, but after they tried to make it more "windows-like" it ceased to be Mach anymore... (like Like A. Skywalker--after turning to the darkside, he ceased to be A. Skywalker and became D. Vader.)

    Also, Microsoft is responsible for Xenix, one of the first ports of Unix (system V) to the x86 platform.

  3. Re:Drop the Space station, fund this kind of stuff on NASA and AI Testing · · Score: 1

    What is the point of a space station if it is right outside the earth's atmosphere? Lets be serious here, we should colonize the moon first...
    Here's why:
    1) We are running out of space on earth.
    2) Rockets can landon the moon to refuel if they had to.
    3) The low levels of gravity would make for awesome basketball games (then i might actually make the team...)
    4) If done right, (artificial light, heat, air (like a space station) it could be an even better International Space project, because people from different countries would actually want to go there.

    oops, forgot to post the link.

  5. Qualcomm on Palm VII vs BlackBerry · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have a Qualcomm pdQ. (i think that's what it is called.) It is a cell phone with a built in Palm Pilot. I could use my OWN ISP account which is cheaper than paying for their service, it will work nation-wide on standard Cellular (or CDMA) networks, and it comes with a neeto WebBrowser/Emailer. It is more cost effective too, because it is also a cell phone, so instead of paying for a cell phone, an ISP, and a Blackberry/Palm VII every month, you just pay for your cell phone and ISP.

  6. Re:hackers, witches, satanists, niggers, nerds ... on Ask Slashdot: Another Word for "Hacker"? · · Score: 1

    Witches and satanists are coping with the same problems. Some witches call themselves "white witches" to discern themselves from the stereotypical witch

    However most witches, decided that "witch" was bad PR, so their religion is now called Wikken (sp?). When a name gets a bad conotation, then you have to make a new one with a good conotation, and make everyone know its good.

  7. for your approval... on Ask Slashdot: Another Word for "Hacker"? · · Score: 1

    Hacker is a word that has many sides to it:

    1. It sounds cool (this is why script kiddies like it)
    2. It gives off a sense of dignity, which "code monkey" just will never have.
    3. It dosn't sound like a 10 year old though it up.

    My submission is simply "TECH". eg. "I'm a tech." or "I don't know how to configure Apache, ask Tim, he's a tech."
    I like it better than techie, because, well, it doesn't cound like trekkie. You can still say that you "hack" code, but the title, would be Tech, rather than hacker.

    Ok, that wasn't too stupid, now was it?

  8. Re:Good Open Source Citizens on Corel Linux FAQ · · Score: 1

    I tried installing Linux circa RH 4.1 and it wouldn't recognize the SCSI adapter that my cdrom dive was attatched to...

    they are trying to make hydrogen turn into helium

    cool, after they figger tat one out, think they'll be able to turn lead into gold?

  10. Re:Why not stay on the ground? on Flying Car by end of year · · Score: 1

    on computer glitch and WAM 300,000 car pile up...

    Only if the cars/roads are powered by Windows. Besides, a better sstem would be to use GPS in all vehicles, and install "crash protection" software/computers, that would slow/stop the car before it got too close to another.

  11. Re:Not surprising, albeit unexpected on Cloned sheep shows signs of premature aging · · Score: 1

    Simple, separate the carbon and the oxygen... now we can breathe... Then, combine some of the oxygen with hydrogen, now we have water. The carbon can be used to make diamonds(for tools) and the energy from the fission/fusion can be used to provide electricity to power the first colonies on Mars.

    Some people call me a dreamer, I call myself a thinker. (i'm not really a do-er)

  15. Re:This isnt the final design. on Amiga Reveals Future Design Plans · · Score: 1

    its on the wrong side. Looks like they designed the PDA for Left-handed people. I would rather hold it with my left hand and operate it with my right. maybe if the grip is reversable, though.... I wanna see the price first, but i might buy one. I was too young to have used one of the originals, but now, maybe i'll give it a chance.

  16. Re: No Journaling for performance... on UK Linux Conf · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Linux should have one secure filesystem with journaling, software raid/mirror possiblity and so on. And one extreamly fast filesystem

    How about XFS = Secure FS and ext3 = Fast FS? I don't think (for my purposes) that i need a journaling FS, I'm doing pretty good without it, so i could use ext3, while anyone who needed the extra security could still have it.

  25. Re:What OS? on wcarchive Upgraded · · Score: 1

    Actually FreeBSD = REAL UNIX
    Linux = UNIX CLONE

    FreeBSD is based on 386BSD. Linux is something Linus dreamed of when he realized that Minix's licence sucked, so he wrote a clone and GPL'd it. Minix is a clone of Unix, so Linux is actually a clone of a clone. However, more companies are starting to port their software to linux than to FreeBSD. Besides, Linux makes a good PC, FreeBSD makes a good server, any questions?
