New Car Buyer: Hi, I'm looking to repalace my old Caravan. Can you show me your minivans? Car salesman:How about this two seater. It has a supercharged V-6 and the doors open butterfly style. New Car Buyer: But, I'm looking to repalace my minivan.... Car Salesman: Minivan? Those are so lame! This baby does zero to sixty in 5.1, and corners on a dime New Car Buyer: Yeah that's great, but I have four kids and have to drive them to school. This thing only has two seats. Car Salesman:Bahhh! Minvans are so lame. Let your kids take the bus. Here...let me show you what's under the hood...
"Do you really need all this stuff? Shares on fat32 partitions?"
That attitude is the wrong one to have if you want people to move over from Windows. It's akin to telling a potential customer that they are an idiot while giving them a sales presentation.
Well I bought my Xerox because mainly because of the glass shield over the LCD. I have a two year old boy who likes to touch everything. The glass shield makes the LCD screen two year old proof.
As for "superb lines" - again, I have two year old. If it doesn't have them already, I'm sure sooner or later he will get a hold of a marker and add some superb lines to it for me.

"Virtual PC costs a couple hundred bucks, Boot Camp doesn't;"
And unless Apple starts selling OEM compies of Windows with their machines, Apple users will be forced to pay full retail price for Windows, which is...a couple hundred bucks.
WFP was created to solve the problem of third party installers overwriting windows dlls with their own versions. This was a huge problem with Win9x. WFP pretty much solved that issue. WPF can be turned off by an administrative user, so it's not really equippped to deal with the actions of malicious programs.
1) fdisk does recognize NTFS partitions ("that NTFS thingy") 2) fdisk's/mbr switch resets the master boot record on the hard drive . It has nothing to do with the partitions. You could use it to remove lilo, or grub, or the FreeBSD boot loader if you wanted to. 3) The Windows 2000/XP/2003 recovery console has a repair function built into it that is the equivalent of `fdisk/mbr`
AthlonXP chips had no built in throttling in the chip. As a result, motherboard makers built in a crude protection system that would shit down the entire system if the chip got too hot. Without that protection, the chips would burn themselves up if the fan failed.
New AMD (Sempron 64/Athlon 64/Athlon X2 64, Turion) all have "Cool N' Quiet" built in which throttles the chip down to speeds as low as 1Ghz (even lower on Turions I think) when idle. I have a dual core athlon system now, and my chip sits at 1Ghz/1.1 volts and mt CPU fan runs at 1000RPM when my computer is idle. When you launch an app that demands processing power, the chip instant throttles up to it's full speed/voltage and the fan kicks up to 3000RPM.
Thanks, that's what I thought. Just one note. I don't think distcc would work with the BSD ports systsem as most ports I've run into can handle the multiple (`make -j3`) jobs.
"As far as the "time sponge" qualities of emerge, I can't argue the point too much. The FreeBSD ports collection can suffer the same thing (especially for the desktop -- KDE and OpenOffice being the two big offenders for long compile times). I like to look for the silver lining, and consider the source builds a good burn-in for new systems (in addition to bonnie++ and memtest86)."
Couldn't you just do 'make package' when installing ports, and tell portupgrade on one machine to make packages of everything when it runs and then have all of your other boxes grab packages via and internal NFS share, or FTP server?
As for Gentoo, I'm clueless about weather this could work as I only have experience with the BSDs, but it seems logical that it could as long as Gentoo supports the building binary package like FreeBSD does.

My sarcam meter is moving, but I'm not sure if it's a false positive. Were you joking, or are you just a dumbass?

"with the exception of the most number of successful hack attacks on a web server. The winner there is clearly IIS."
Actually it's not. Apache takes that crown.
Someday, if Target takes the market share, you might visit them, right?

Sorry, but it doesn't look any nicer that the Xerox monitor on my desk.
Not that I think it looks bad. It just doesn't look special to me.
Why is this on slashdot?

If Windows is involved, yes. If linux, no.

I've been doing that for over two years. The only caveat is that the freebsd boot loader calls Windows XP "DOS".

"the inherent design of Linux usually limits what an exploit can do."
You mean like the inherent ability of program to install a keylogger in X without root priviledges?
"Because so many silly things are wrapped into the OS that even user mode programs need to escalate to system priviliges to do the simplest things."
Nice argument. It would be better if it weren't complete bullshit.
"There are a thousand places where you know that an exploit in that area will automatically give you system priviliges!"
Name one - and please talk with your mouth instead of your ass this time.
P.S. whomever modded the parent insightful - stop moderating please. You are modding up idiots.
"when installing a lot of programs, the profile never works right (since the app gets installed to the Admin profile)"
:)
The little hack I advertise in my sig solves that issue.
"If you have the Pro version of Windows, you can usually fix those by changing your permissions for that directory as well."
And if you have XP Home you can use ACLView.
"I do run as a normal user"

The use of buzzwords is a good one, but I think the better indicator was the fact that he doesn't really understand the technology he's talking about.
