oh well. i was kinda looking forward to an alternate version of Drunken Master. The Jackie Chan version is pretty cheesy, but still enjoyable. Ya gotta love the almost unreadable subtitles. Whee! Check out this list of actual subtitles used in kung fu movies.
I never realized there was more than one version of Drunken Master. Jet Lee?? Never heard of him. Pardon my ignorance, but I'm about to go searching for Drunken Master with Jet Lee at the video store tonite.
So what OS would Su Hua Chi (the drunk uncle) be?
wa- hao jiu!

I've occasionally considered adding unrelated or useless items while filling out those online resume/job application, just for fun. Under `other skills' I once put `forklift operation'.

Right, I checked it out a couple of times and in fact, BFS does support files up to 18 PETAbytes.
So incredibly huge, the mind boggles. In 1999 there is probably NO practical use for such a file, but hey, it's cool to be able to brag about it.
I don't see what the big deal is about FTP. There are plenty of easy to use GUI clients.
One problem that might come out of letting folks edit their webspaces directly on the server is that the quality of their pages will slip. The quicker and easier something is to do, the more likely it is that someone will do it poorly.
I do believe that clueless people are entitled to their own sites. Freedom is important. Instead of maintaining their active files directly, you could let users play with a safe copy-- either on their local machines or on a secure part of your sever. Then, after the user has taken a GOOD LOOK at everything and VERIFIED that they have created something that is decent and clueful, apply their changes to what's on the server.
Hey-- isn't that how comment posting works at/.?...must be a decent idea!
I've done it this way with my personal site for years. I keep an exact copy of the site at home (on a windows box, so shoot me!) and mess with it all night long until it looks good, and only THEN do I FTP everything to the university server. If you replace "FTP" with "click the Big Red Button(tm)" my grandma could do it.

It's scary how much the media can take a screwy idea and exploit it. How many geeks remember their schools banning or threatening to ban AD&D, etc, for fear of satanism?
Then again, lots of non-media type people seem to believe that "the internet" leads to antisocial postal rampages. We had a bomb scare at my university yesterday. Supposedly a copycatter trying to tie into the Littleton exitement. Helicopters were flying around overhead all afternoon and two buildings had to be evacuated. Major inconvenience!
Not every school has a decent CS department. At my state-funded, land grant school where I study mechanical engineering, we had to take only one 3 credit programming course. I took it freshman year and had no idea what it would be about until the 1st day of class...when it turned out to be FORTRAN (guh). Out of 10 sections, 5 were C and 5 were fortran. There was really no way to choose which one you wanted ahead of time.
It was incredibly braindead. I think I went to class once. Got an A.
Now, at the senior level, whenever a project entails any kind of programming, the big cheese professors tend to look at programming skill as some kind of arcane science and seem mildly amazed when a student actually uses a computer for something besides excel & writing papers.
Is this sort of thing normal at other schools? ANY sort of technical major OUGHT to cover the basics at least, yet at this school you can get out the door with practically ZERO.
I got WAY more programming knowledge on my own (started out w/ basic on a Timex Sinclair) and through 4 years of high school pascal, than the lamea$$ sh1t my school thinks is appropriate for enginners. What gives?

Right on! I'm currently waiting for the UPS man to deliver my new TNT card.
3D support in Linux would make an already awesome video card that much better, IMHO.

I was under the impression that NT stood for Northern Telecom.
New Technology works for me too. When you get to the point that acronyms the mean more than the original long name I guess it doesn't matter.
Yesterday it worked.
Today is is not working.
Windows it like that.
Animal mascots are cool, but once you pick one you're stuck with it- just like a tattoo.
How about waiting 'till O'Reilly does a BeOS book and adopting whatever animal they use?
