I wonder what Bill Gates is thinking of all this. "But... I was the one chosen to bring humanity to the information age!!" I hope the 'ole bastard is sweating bullets:-)
IPchains cannot do VPN. It's just a packet filtering and forwarding mechanism. Very well suited for most security purposes, but VPN is a different thing altogether. PPP over Ethernet, or PPP over SSH are viable methods of VPN, but if this is a kernel driver maybe it will be better (faster hopefully?)
I second that, I used to have a Packard Bell 286 (in fact it's sitting here buried in a lot of shit) and it had an AMD 80286 processor, soldered to the motherboard. Luckily the RAM wasn't soldered to the motherboard as well.
You know, it is a good day, now that all these companies like Creative Labs are releasing open-source drivers for their hardware. It is a wonderful day to see that RMS's dream of free software is already changing the industry for the better. Here I cite ATI, Creative Labs, and now this. This is all just so wonderful.:-)
Hahaha, they'd have to provide an example of a Crash Proof OS of course. We know it wouldn't be any of their products. Or maybe it might be... MS-DOS with no programs running. Spirilis
Sickness and dementia is what I'm all about, biznatch. J00r an awesome bruffah, and fight the good fight.
It's people like me who will get in your way throughout life, who will stop you from reaching your goals. Try not to let us throw you down, because we will one way or another;-) Spirilis
Try "colonbackslash"? Forward slash is UNIX, that is "/", while backslash is "\", the obscure and queer DOS-way of delimiting directory names in a file specification.
Oh, and who's your wife? Your sister? Incest is bad, you know. Try adding to the gene pool, not ruining it. Spirilis
I got a similar idea in my head last March after being on a field trip with an SGI tech guy. After seeing him scroll through the various video demos they had using SGI Portalis, I nearly freaked. Using a Quake or DOOM interface to starting applications or viewing pictures would be GREAT! Spirilis
Ditto. I just recently ditched their service (after they switched from Unlimited access to 150 hours/month) in favor of a Maryland ISP called ABSnet. Pretty good ISP.
But BellAtlantic did work with Linux, except with the pppd setup I cooked up it took like 20 seconds after dialled to finalize the PPP connection (get to the ip-up execution stage et al)
XFree86 doesn't support the RGBA color scheme, does it? Personally I think it would be *awesome* because then, theoretically transparent terminals would be easily possible, right? Although it would either require 32-bit color or a soft transparency engine to calculate the final color considering all transparencies... but still that would be nice to have.
A-men to that. I remember my first computer from 5 years ago: an old TRS-80 Color Computer (model 1 if you could say) which was $5 from a yard sale. The computer came with nothing but a BASIC manual and another "user's manual". It taught me everything I never wanted to know about how the machine's ports work. Moreover, the BASIC manual was excellent. In the back it even explained how to do lowlevel graphics programming (since that's all you could do, well, not really since that computer had Extended Color BASIC instead of just Color BASIC, but anyway) with the machine, plus a few small pointers on assembly language (although I never did get into ASM, and never have yet)
I've recently tried 2.2.0pre1 with a rate of 500 hz, and got some nasty side effects on my Pentium 166 MMX; the sequencer was way out of sync, MIDIs and MODs (xmp with AWE support) played 5 times faster than they should have, plus my "ps" command showed some fucked up results; half my processes appeared to take 99% of the CPU time, and the total CPU time consumed was _really_ messed up. What results have you had with 1024 hz timeslices?

*insert-insane-laughter-here* I HAD to make that my /etc/motd :-)

Heh, well, I personally prefer MPEGs over animated GIFs for such purposes... but uhh... I think I should get off this topic :)
I must add, I overlooked the transparency issue. Transparency support in browsers, and MNG (animated PNG, basically), are badly needed then :)
Yes, MSIE supports PNG. At least the MSIE 4 at my college does. What bugs? PNG works fine for me :) (gimp 1.1.8 and libpng.so.2.1.0.3)
Why not marry the two together? spock0001, spock0002, etc
