It's terrible, and sad, but what Mike wallace's character said in "The Insider" was very true: You are remembered and judged on what you did last. EWS sucked so badly, that they left him out.
Ah, so YOU'RE the other person who saw that movie besides me! I watch ANYTHING with Richard Kieth O'Brien in it. I'm a big Rocky Horror nutcase from way back. Wasn't Dark City last year, or the year before? Maybe even older than that. I didn't think it was eligible this year?
As someone who used to teach the medical management of CBR (Chemical Biological Radiological) casualties, I can tell you for a fact that with that amount of Anthrax bacillus, you could wipe out the entire world, several times over. Anthrax is NASTY NASTY NASTY stuff.
This, and the argument that the second half of the amendment is a subordanant clause are patently false. The second amendment does NOT say, 'A well regulated militia being necessary, the right of the STATE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' It says '... the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear...'
What part of "... The right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." did you fail to understand the first time?
I don't know what kind of crack the previous AC was smoking... I thought the site rocked!
I couldn't agree more either - I've got most of my jobs because I can walk in and say "I've been doing this since 1983. If I don't know something, I can learn it, quickly."
That, and a DEMONSTRATION that i actually know something is usually what gets me in the door. One example of this working actually was when I went to work at SBC. Didn't like it much and moved on, but I was still happy that I had been able to get into a company like that.

When it is finally out can I just download an ISO?

SuSE 6.4 Announced

· Score: 3
I have a nice high speed connection at work, and would rather just download and burn to a cd there. Does SuSE support this? Do they have an FTP install? Can I get around buying the CD?
Thank you, first of all, for being so much more rational about this.
I do believe that they are skipping numbers. They release, at most three distro's in a current major version number. Slackware hasn't done that in the past, although I fear they may do that now. The blame for this rests squarely on the shoulders of the crew at RedHat, IMHO. They don't skip WHOLE numbers, true. I wonder some times why they use minor revision numbers at all!
Nice try. I've been using Slackware since 1993, back when everything still fit on floppys. In fact, I made it available in the Detroit, Michigan area on my old BBS, "Corpsmans Corner BBS". This was back when the kernel was pre 1.0. I then moved to Chicago, where I learned even more about Linux from my good friend, and fellow FidoNet Net 115 Sysop, H. Peter Anvin (who I just called Peter then - I had no idea who he was). RedHat was no big deal until much later. I still do not remember a 1.x or 2.0 release. The first version number I recall seeing from them is a 2.1 release. So it seems to me that the skipped.1 to 2.0, and 2.3 to 2.9, 3.3 to 3.9, 4.3 to 4.9 (I think, I'm not 100% sure on that one), etc. etc. etc.
I realize that this has already been addressed elsewhere in the article and comments already, but I cannot let something so blatent go without comment.
REDHAT started this, not Slackware. If Pat had done his version numbers the way RedHat does, we'd be on version 20something already, not 7.0. Slackware has been around so much longer than RedHat, it's not even funny. RedHat (AFAIK) never released a 1.0 or a 2.0 version of thier distro. They like to go 4.1, 4.2, 5.0,5.1,5.2,6.1,6.1,6.2, etc. If Slackware did that, we would never have seen Slack 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.9, 4.0, etc. We'd be on version 20.2 or something now. So don't start that stupid crap about version numbers, it just proves what a newbie/troll you are.
Your answer to #1 is WAY off. How about the manager at RHAT who refered to "The crowd that festers around" rasterman? How professional was that? If you spent your time as a professional programmer just to have some IDIOT in management crap on you like that, would you take it lying down? I don't think so.
Exactly! While I lament that it was necessary, I do agree that it basically sucks. Nor do I think Red Hat will learn the lesson from this. Not that it really matters. We need a new way to date/keep track of sofware besides version numbers. I rather liked the direction we went with "Slackware 96". I kept hoping that we'd go that route. We could have had "Slackware 99" followed by "Slackware 2k". If we needed to release more than one version a year, we could use "Slackware 2000-R1" kinda like Lotus used to do with Lotus 123...

Slackware Updates

There doesn't seem to be one there... I looked. Howabout a mirror site? Could it be on cdrom.com for instance?
Please, get a clue. If RedHat had numbered it's releases the same way Slakware used to, they'd still be on version 3.x or 4.x. You know damn well that the version number jump was necessary. Why stir the pot?
Also, does anyone know where I can just get the ISO image for the updated slackware-current?
ABSOLUTELY! I really hope this gets mod'd up, because I too want to know when I'll be able to play broodwar in Linux. SC and SC:BW are the only things keeping WinDoze on my machine right now. I'd REALLY like to reclaim that space, and use it for productive purposes.
Also, are there any plans to port usefull non-game programs? Is Loki only going to stay in the game market, or are there any plans to diversify?

With the formation of your company, will this give you the resources to port Slackware to the PPC and Alpha? Are there any plans for this?
Hey Rob, Thanks for that tarball!
You missed a few:

"Slackware: How to get where you want to go today, WITHOUT crashing or BSOD's!"

and none of these seem to have problems with users wanting a higher version number, from what I see. :)
And now go look at Market Share. That's what has motivated this. Just ask Patrick.
