Same shit here. Whoever came up with our venue didn't bother to check with the establishement. First, they got the name of the bowling alley wrong (Bowling alley, sounded like a chinese food restaurant to me). Oh, and Thursdays are league night -/. is not a league.
So in short, thanks for wasting my half tank of gas, time, money, and patience.
By an American Air Force pilot in the 50's. Rode a baloon up into the stratosphere, and jumped. Is the french dude going to set a record, or is this publicity?
Ever worked with end users? Nobody here can honestly claim that they took to linux like a fish out of water. The reason nerds flock to linux to begin with is because the labrynthic nature and obscurity of techniques involved in running Linux - us nerds love that shit because it keeps other people away.
In order for Linux to make it on the desktop with average users and defeat the Evil Empire is to offer tools which make setup, operation, use, and interface with other systems easy. Of couse, Mac has already done that with OS X.
...and convert it to hydrogen. It appears you already have had the courage to be a pioneering consumer when you bought what was widely suspected to be an electric lemon. Unfortunately, just because your car doesn't put out any emissions doesn't mean the power plant it gets its electricity from doesn't put out any, so you you're essentially hiding in one part of the energy chain and ignoring the other.
The only other compromise is to get a hybrid and convert it to CNG for the lowest possible emissions.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get my bike tires refilled.
Because I don't FUCKING PIRATE MUSIC! I remember when this fight was about the right of artists to distribute their music freely without having to pander to the record industry.
I came home a few months ago, turned on my new system, and WHAP! Hard drive exploded.
It was a Seagate, so I wasn't suprised, but losing 9 gigs worth of MP3 slowly began to gnaw at my brain.
I recently got an IBM hard drive on sale, but re-ripping my CD collection is going to take till the end of the month. I don't have a record player, so getting my Vinyl on MP3 is going to take even longer (if ever).
Anyone have Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Sr. singing "Mt. Dew 1969"?
Maybe a month is about how long it takes for him to write something insightful.
Granted, theres nothing new to this article. Neither does Katz maintain coherence, exemplify brevity, or make anything resembling to a distinct point. He also fails to cite exemplary evidence showing that the media is a biased marketing machine out for the quickest dirtiest buck - even though that should be obvious to anyone with an excess of two brains cells they can slap together.
I'm scared to guess. As long as they can ramp up the G-4's, I don't think there's much need to jump to a G-5 architecture. However, about 6 months ago Motorola made some kind of announcment about how they increased the capabilities of their PowerPC processors. With the release of G-4 iMacs recently, I'm guessin that it'll be it'll be somewhere between this coming macworld and the next. They'll probably release the iWalk this next macworld, but won't wait for the next ot announce G-5 based system.
Okay, all you trolls complaining about Terrasoft charging for linux need to log on to ftp.yellowdoglinux.com where you'll find ISO's for 2.1 and 2.2 avialable for download, as well as all the new packages for 2.3.
Moreover, YDL isn't doing anything anyone else isn't doing. Charging for support and distribution. I'd pay $30 for the shirt it comes with.
You should alse look at what else YDL is doing to further Linux: The Yellow briQ Node, Black Lab clustering server, and a 2U rack mounted server that makes X-Serve look bloated.
Try running OSX on a PowerPC 7100, or a 6116CD. YDL will run swimmingly as a straight server, and is competitive to MacOS 8.6 (the last truly stable MacOS) while offering a helluva lot more features.
OSX is bloated, but not overly so. Wait for the G5 processors to appear.
I just installed YDL 2.2 (I'm pissed, I would've waited for 2.3, but no bother) on a G3 550 PowerPC to use as a Scoop web server. I am utterly impressed by it's flexibility and stablity, and flabbergasted at how well it runs compared to my RedHat Linux 7.3 on an AMD Athlon 1700+ (with twice the ram).
In my experience, any distribution is touchy on a laptop, and I personally had nightmares putting SUSE, RedHat, Caldera, and BSD on a Sony PCG-F580. Finally, I just put WindowsXP on there, figuring either way it was destined to be crippled : )
Yellow Dog Linux is also Free (as in Beer). Just like everyone else, they don't exactly make it easy for you to download the free ISO versions. You can FTP into ftp.yellowdoglinux.com anonymously. They don't have the ISO's up for the new version, but Pomona (2.1) and Rome (2.2) are there, and you can download all the new packages for 2.3.
What I like about Yellow Dog Linux? Unlike other Linux companies, Terrasoft is actually expanding the scope of Linux by offering practical solutions built around the dynamite combination of PowerPC processors and Linux. I could shill all day about the Yellow briQ Node and the Black Lab Clustering distribution, but it just would'nt be dignified. They've also got a kickass 2U rackmount dual PPC Linux based server, which offers a wonderful alternative to Apples XServe.
AFAIC, YDL deserves my $30, and non-linux types would be well served by the supported $60 version (better than Micro$hafts support). Like our friends Google, they're actually bringing legitimacy to linux, and helping push it into the public.
The HE-162 few fully tested, and was to be built in number and flown on suicide mission by Hitler youth pilots. [Un]fortunately, we steamrolled the factories in our march across Europe. The planes were build with proven engines - they were basically improved buzzed bombs with better handling.
The DO-435 likewise was a suicide plane. However, the germans never flight tested one. The Japanese, however, procured the designs directly from Germany, and built a limited number of Hohei suicide planes which only saw limited success. They were too expensive to manufacture, and japans industry was already turning out planes capable of such attacks.
Neither of those were all wing designs. That page kicks ass though, it's hard to find solid reference on Luftwatha hardware, especially the bleeding edge concept stuff.
Actually, the pilots never got near the plane until after it was fueled. However, plenty of fuel technicians were horribly disfigured. At least two civilians were partially disolved when the drop tanks (which were emptied by takeoff) fell near them and ruptured.
This revolutionary blended wing design, called BWB for short, was conceived by the McDonnell Douglas Corporation and now proposed by Boeing.
I'm inclined to act on behalf of Jack Northrop, who was flying blended wing bodies in the 40's. I'm calling BULLSHIT! The N-1M is still a popular flying wing aircraft with private pilots today. The N-9M is equally popular with model aircraft enthusiasts (I personally spent two years of my youth finding a rare Tamiya kit of one of these). Then theres the B-35 which just barely missed WWII, but was featured in the original Orsen Wells "War of the Worlds" movie. Then there was the YB-49, a jet powered blended wing bomber. And lets not forget the MX324, Americas first rocket powered military aircraft (the designation "MX" is for "Missile, Experimental", which probably didn't comfort the pilot too much). Of course, the Nazi's had everyone beat with their ME-262 Komet - a rocket powered blended wing fighter-interceptor.
Boeing can no more claim this is "revolutionary" than I can claim that my G3 PowerPC powered linux server at work is revolutionary.
Slashdot Mirror
Things like this is why I have to remind myself that Slashdot is not a community. K5 is a community, Slashdot is is a communism .
Hey, at least the meetup thing here flopped so I can at least have the rest of my night to do something productive, like PT.
Same shit here. Whoever came up with our venue didn't bother to check with the establishement. First, they got the name of the bowling alley wrong (Bowling alley, sounded like a chinese food restaurant to me). Oh, and Thursdays are league night - /. is not a league.

I'll let you figger it out...

emphasis on "complete"
If you think apes are intelligent, then it's no wonder you would fail to differentiate between flying wings and bwb's.

The anonymous coward makes a point. He should be rewarded.
OTOH, Linux is not a waste of time. Nobody would know about BSD and Unix but for linux today.

I wanna see the results! Can I watch, huh, pleeeze, can I?

No, it keeps the Red Hat in the closet. But, it does at least openly discuss it's Red Hat (yes, "it's" is a pun).
...just kidding...slashdot is troll land though. I vent over here, and try to keep my more meaningful intellectual property elsewhere.
...only two of the planes on page actually flew.
The HE-162 few fully tested, and was to be built in number and flown on suicide mission by Hitler youth pilots. [Un]fortunately, we steamrolled the factories in our march across Europe. The planes were build with proven engines - they were basically improved buzzed bombs with better handling.

Blended Body = removed the monocoque fuselage in favor of a unified body/wing structure.
Flying wing - removed the monocoque fuselage in favor of a unified body/wing structure.
Would you now like to argue the meaning of what "is" is?
Actually, the pilots never got near the plane until after it was fueled. However, plenty of fuel technicians were horribly disfigured. At least two civilians were partially disolved when the drop tanks (which were emptied by takeoff) fell near them and ruptured.
I can call my linux/ppc server revolutionary. Hot damn, maybe I'll get a raise.
On second thought, asking my boss for a raise is about like asking him for a kidney.
