if you are really that mad, you can move/sw to somewhere else and symlink/sw to the moved/sw, and then make the symlink/sw invisible at the root. i know this is a pain, but the fink developers are convinced that even though apple has standards, they are above them.
Ripley: How do we kill it? Ash: You can't. Parker: Bullshit! Ash: You still don't know what you're dealing with do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. Lambert: You admire it. Ash: I admire its purity, its sense of survival; unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. Parker: I've heard enough and I'm asking you to pull the plug. Ash: One more word. I can't speak for your chances, but... you have my sympathies.
that is exactly what a lot of schools are doing these days.. theres an excuse for EVERYTHING and
there are fifth graders on Zoloft. "Its not his fault".. all I'm saying is it IS his fault, and no amount of medication is going to help.. he just needs to learn to do what is expected, and if he has to fail a grade (which is what I would probably want to see happen.. but now, when it would do some good rather than later, when it will just cause more problems) to get that, then so be it.
hey fool, if you're going to rag on other people for capitalization errors, at least don't make any yourself. you look like a jackass. shouldn't you be off getting whipped by your son? he seems to have you pretty under control.
I'm relieved that when the US govt is systematically eroding my rights, they'll be using Open Source software to do it. If Larry had his way, we'd have all our personal data in an Oracle database down in DC somewhere (for a small fee, of course) for protection against "terrorism". The Department of Homeland security is just another excuse for the US government to spy on its own citizens.
this is a laughable post and one of the true indicators of the high levels of ignorance on/. these days. i cannot believe i am looking at this post at +3 insightful. this is an obvious lie. to anyone that says/. is even a quarter of the site it used to be i say, ask yourself if such a comment would have been moderated up to +3 two years ago.
hey jerkis, how would you feel if you assigned a simple INPUT program and some show-off hands you a 500 line "bouncing ball" program. instead of trying to tangle through your spagetti code, i'd give you an "F" as well.
>> And even after you track stuff down, installing it on OS X is confusing for the average user: drag this here, drag that there, click here to let me do this, click there to let me do that, etc. Many of the games I ended up with giving them for OS X were ports of free Linux games.
Duh, you are retarded. Do you actually mean to tell me it is easier to install software on Linux than on OS X? May I remind you -- OS X seems to have gotten rid of most of the library dependency bullshit that Linux has and also vendors don't have to contend with 30,000 different distrobutions. Also, it DOES NOT get any easier than installing on OS X. Usually it is a drag of a folder or a click of an icon. Can you tell me which "button" you press to install the latest version of perl? I use Software Update, but I guess on Linux you are out of luck.
you fool - talk is not NEARLY even close to the purpose of the patent. for REAL prior art see: zephyr. this makes me wonder if the poster has even used talk in his whole life. slashdot admins spend their whole time in XP so they can play Halo anyway.
who cares about apple. first i didn't get jaguar for free, then they took away my iTools. you know, i used to hate apple. I would never have got a mac. But, then they switched over to OS X, starting using some Unix in their software. but now, they're back to their old tricks. charging for a 0.1 update, taking away the email address i thought i'd be using for a long time. apple stock is falling rapidly, and i (once again) have ceased to care about the company. anyone agree? ps. someone send me a free jaguar update
I suggest moving your server to an Intel 386DX/33 with at LEAST 16 mb of RAM. That should have no problem running a pre-1997 version of Linux. For Internet connectivity, you can get a 56k modem very cheaply from Best Buy. You should be able to lease a 24 hour 56k baud line from Earthlink at about $60 a month. This will be much cheaper than the costly T1 you have now. Move the clients to VT320s. You should be able to find a few terminal servers at Salvation Army, or perhaps K-mart. As for Office Software, hand out LaTeX manuals and have your users use vi for inputting, and then they can run LaTeX for the nice output. This should save on licensing costs on the server/clients, and a VT320 is a lot easier to maintain than a full PC. Instead of Outlook, teach your users how to use mailx. Instead of IE, give them a few lessons in lynx. You might want to limit the amount of users that you let surf the web concurrently, because with 16mb of RAM, we don't want the server thrashing too hard. Backups should be no problem. You should be able to fit all of the server's data files onto a zipdisk, which you can connect through the parallel port on the PC. Also, junk all your old HP LaserJets and pick up some old DEC LP printers. They can do quite a few pages an hour, as long as you don't mind the noise. If you implement my plan, I bet your users will be smiling all day!

BORING BORING samurai cartoons. where's the machines and the technology?
the spell checker it came with must suck...
if you used half the time it took to make a pseudo code post to check spelling, you might have spelled a few words right.

I'm pretty sure that CNN would at least put a (sic) after a misspelled word. Of course, the difference is that CNN hires people that can spell.

that must have been one hell of a ForTran class. did they cover spelling, or was that extra credit?

welcome to minix. you can run on anything. the only limit is yourself.

is to defecate at least a few times a year. that way, you are nice and free for when something important comes up.
what's micro$lop? i've never heard of them.
maybe if they would add the features we want into gnutella, or at least make it more scalable, we'd switch over!
