Too bad the OCR did a terrible job. Here's an excerpt from a paper on 5/4/1977:

I can't believe no one has mentioned ripco communications. They offer shell accounts for $15 a month or $35 a quarter. $15 a month is pretty cheap. They offer ftp, lynx, irc, email (elm or pine), a homepage, lots of storage plus they don't care if you run slirp, a great PPP/SLIP emulator to get graphical internet off a shell account.
This makes me so happy, man. I mean, what is better than a free music society? DRM is bogus, even the man is aware of this fact, man. So really, this is the sweetest peice of news I have listened to, man.
A site that DirecTV took over, www.hackhu.com better explains their intensions. Infact, DirecTV has take about 100 sites and made them anti-hacking sites like the one above.
I have a 3 year old who knows his way around a computer better than the sales people at my company.;)
Anyway, I have a dual boot machine, RedHat 7.2 (KDE 3) & XP. As unreliable as some games are under XP, they are far worse using WINE. Some are not even playable (Disney games). Check out Wine Application Database for more information on compatibility. Also, the system requirements are greater running an app under Wine.
Surfing the web was no big deal. Mozilla & Flash work great.
An issue I had was in the login sequence; he could click on his username and log in (no password assigned) on the XP box, while in Linux he had to have me or his mom type in his username to log-in. That's fine for parental control and a computer in another room far off, but our computer is in our living room where we'll always see him, and it's convenient for him to log in whenever he want's to use it.
Companies with 5 or 6 people can much more readily see the benefits of having a swissarmy knife instead of a T40 Torx wrench, whereas a big company sees that it has a bunch of Torx bolts to unscrew.
I used to work for a.com with 100+ employees, and now I work for a company with < 20. I used to do just straight sysadmin stuff on NT, there was a specialist for everything.
I am the *only* IT guy in our small company. I'm in charge of a few linux boxen, w2k DC & Exchange 2k, plus deveoping a web app using PHP & Apache. I've never had so much fun.
You people have got to be kidding! Anything done in COBOL can be re-written in C 1000 times more efficiently, quicker, and easier to understand for the next (younger) guy in line for your job.
Give me a break, COBOL, if this isn't satire, I don't know what is!
When a standard is developed for Linux that is 100% compatible with m$ office, then I will make the switch. I am so tired of trying so called "fully compatible" office suites only to find documents developed in m$ word look horrible.
Don't get me wrong, I love Linux. But until there is a truly 100% compatible office suite available, it's m$ office for me.
Fortunately, crossover office would allow me to use m$ office in my Linux environment. But why would my company shell out $50.00 when I am the only one using Linux?
Standards, then competition. The problem with open source/free software today is everyone is working on an individual basis, rather than working together to reach the same goal. In the movie, "Bugs Life", they realized there were more ants (us) than grasshoppers (M$), and made them their slaves. If we banded together, we could blow M$ off the map!
I don't see the ads anyway. I use a little tool called the Proxomitron. It's a universal web filter. I have it set not to display any banner ads or pop up/under ads.

Same thing happened to me. It was supposed to be a replacement for a Palm V - big mistake. I've since went with a Sony Clie SJ33; it's fantastic.
Anyone else getting a flashback to when Diablo II was in stores?"
I don't get it?

-krashishSo what do you really think of Mancow? I bet you could kick his ass, just like you did in the painball fight.
"The amount of radioactivity is so miniscule that you don't have to worry about it as much."
keywords here are as much. I don't want to have to worry about it at all!

Just because he's sentanced to 33 months, doesn't mean he'll serve the entire term.
He'll probably serve 6-9 months, and get parole.

Anyone else notice the size of that stone age beast of a spider next to his experiments? I wonder if that was a calculated variable?
Can you copy, cut and paste with paper? OK, you know what I mean. . .
Can it be given to numerous people all over the office building in a matter of seconds?
Is it ever difficult to read Times New Roman or Arial? I.e. Can you read Joe's handwriting from that fax?
Do you want to search through 1000 peices of paper for one phrase that mat take hours?
I would also suggest eshell. Been using for a little while now and it kicks.
BTW- I'm running emacs & eshell on XP with absolutly no problems.
