This is interesting... Start with a desktop, when you get tired of i change the config to be a tower... Need another drive bay? Go buy some more lego and build it on!
Plus you could attatch one of those star wars lego sets to the top of it... hehehe....
Yes, there have been some cool cases for Lap Top's in the movies, and I saw one on "VIP"
You mean that one with a Tai Chi symbol (yin yang, for the less culturally aware) covering the manufacturer's logo? That was pretty neat! If not, then which are you taking about? BTW, they also use a 25th aniversary Mac on VIP, in case you noticed (i did).
Hmm, this is interesting. BigBillG's box prob. has a solid gold case and runs Xenix. (how much you wanna bet even HE doesn't run Windows?) In case you didn't know, Xenix is MS's Unix (they licenced it to other vendors, it never got the "Microsoft" brand). Before i get too off topic, translucent stuff sucks now, because its too mainstream, now we have to do something REALLY different,something to differentiate a student such as myself from the rest of the Geek crown in my school. (i'd put pictures of it in my locker!)
Right On!!! I put so much crap on top of my case, i t would really suck if it broke, but anyway... This might be a nice friendly case for grandma's new PC.
My dad's Presario 1230 runs about 10 min, before needing a recharge, plus it weighs more than i do! Portable? Yeah Right!
Anyhoo, I absolutely MUST have one ofthem Laptops. If i don't get the IBM+Linux thinkpad, then i will be forced to find an old 486 notebook (yikes!) and run some small distro on it, (maybe DosLinux on top of DR-DOS?)
Now if i only had some cash... ahh well. I could always sell some organs.
Even I,the biggest geek in my school, make fun of the kids that do that. Pressure points are retarded, a kid ried that on me, and i beat the living crap out of him. (we were arguing about something, i forget what). Ido, however defend him when people make fun of him for being in chess club, because that isn't really fair to him, chess is something he likes. However, pressure points are a wimp's last resort. Even the smallest geek, should stand up and fight like a man. (or woman, however, girls don't seem to fight as much. Maybe i'm wrong.)
everyone needs geeks. And we made them need us. Geeks invented Unix, non-geeks, are scared of Unix, and therefore need us to run their servers,mainframes, and other computers. "They" can't install hard drives, cdrom drives, motherboards, ect. Without geeks, businesses would go out of business, the stock markets would have to close, the banks would fail, should i continue?
There was this catch-22 where you had to pretend you weren't smart, but still get good grades.
i know that one all too well. I go to a Private school, being a geek is ok there, as long as you can still hold a conversation about . I don't like a LOT of the "i'm better than you" types, or the guys that act all tough because they think its cool. I laugh it off when they make fun of me, I just think of the colleges they will be going to. Just today, I blew everyone away on a Bio test, and screwed up their curve. (ahh, sweet revenge).
P.S. I always get my revenge in a non-violent way. Like, screwing over my Computer teacher (its an Office 97 class that everyone has to take) when it comes time to fill out her evaluation.
Actually, I think GEM would fall under the control of the "thin-clients" division, which is going to use it as a GUI for DR-DOS, probably in some sort of embedded internet device.
At Merrill Lynch, every trader has a NT box, and a Sun Workstation. The Sun is used for all of the mission critical stuff, the actual trading, the recording of the trading, getting stock quotes, ect. Everything.
They use NT for Internet, Email (ms exchange server) and Microsoft Office. Stuff they hardly need at all. most traders have two windows open under NT, Excel and Outlook 97.
They will probably use a modified linux kernel for a non-intel platform. The modifications would include, a completely graphical interface (no CLI) it would only run in single-user mode, and unneccesary featues would be removed. The code will hardly resemble the OS we've come to know and love at all. Too bad.
I wonder if this whole thing has anything to do with that email that i sent to steve case last week, suggesting exacly this?
Anyway, where do these freeking analysts get their information. "Linux is simply too muscular for that space, and even without the Windows licensing fee, a hardware company would still have to pay the relatively high prices for Intel chips, Jupiter's Card said."
Unlike some operating systems (Win3.1/9x), Linux actually runs on more than one type of processor. I believe The Netwinder uses a StrongARM, LinuxPPC runs on PowerPC, there is a port of Linux to the Palm Pilot, and other non-INTEL platforms, so, although most of the larger distributions, include an intel version, that isn't the only processor supported.
I don't see it. to me, atleast, GNOME looks more like Windows9x than kde. Just my opinion. KDE is a more "corporate"/impersonal desktop by default. While Gnome goes out of its way to look cool.
i've done that before!:) take up too much screen realestate though. (unless you overlap them). it was pointless and a waste of RAM. BTW, StarOffice contains a "K-menu" as part of its start button.
part of linux is the fact that it gives you choices. You can use one, both, or none, we should be able to run ANY apps we want. But we souldn't do that by standardizing on a desktop, which forces the user to use that desktop. That esp. screws over Linus Torvalds, who doesn't use either KDE or Gnome (however, he would choose KDE if he had to).
i've solved everyone's problems. Install GTK+, then install QT, then your desktop of choice (GNOME is my favorite, tho i do have KDE also), since the app is written to the lib, not the desktop itself, by having both libs, you are 100% compatible with apps written for both.
I've been using GNOME for about a month with all of the standard KDE apps, especially Kppp.
Slashdot Mirror
i bought a PC from Atipa and it runs near-silent. Its the quietest pc i've ever owned.
This is interesting...

Yup In-Win cases are pretty cool, I use one at home, and at school.
I use all of thos goddamned AOL cd's as Frisbee's, its pretty neat. And i write AOL SUCKS DONKEY C*CK!!! on them with a Sharpie!!! hehe

private schools are no different, same jerks, just richer.

something that runs on Merced.
Actually, I think GEM would fall under the control of the "thin-clients" division, which is going to use it as a GUI for DR-DOS, probably in some sort of embedded internet device.
IBM said that there wouldn't be any new releases of OS/2 (client?) So why don't they open source it before it gets old and crusty.
Actually, PS will run CD-R backups of games (seen it done) and so will VGS.

Actually, it'll be AOL's subsidiary PrimeHost that will handle the domain registration as part of its Web hosting service
