I have had notpad acutally crash (in win9x) run32.dll and explorer.exe. It was nuts. oh BTW all I was running was explorer and systray so it couldn't have been any other program interfering.
I know people still will want to run Doom and Hugos Great Adventures on their G5's and Merceds, but I think it is time to cut the fat(32-bit) off and move on to the future. Trying to find a way to use 32-bit and 64-bit instrucitons just wastes time (I guess I just want the processor as soon as possible). I for one would be willing to give up my 32-bit programs for faster 64-bit programs on a 64-bit OS. Hell us linux users who left the clutches of microsoft to embrace the wonders of Linux gave up all our Windows possessions and now run Linux programs. People can do it. It's just like when Apple started converting from CISC to RISC. They kept that ungodly slow CISC emulators on thier RISC chips which dragged the processors speed down. All I am saying is "To Intel and Motorola: JUST GO PURE 64-BIT. Thank you."
if microsoft is trying to port unix programs to NT that could mean that they are taking the right step towards making a more stable operating system (when it comes to an NT and Unix envrionment). I remember a few years ago microsoft wouldn't touch anything that had to do with *nix. I perfect example of this is the Microsoft TCP/IP printing to *nix LPR daemons protocool(sp) was so full of trash and bugs, I had to use third party software to do anything reliably (if you can call anything reliable in NT) between my NT Server and my IRIX box when it came to printing. It wasn't until SP3 that they code was finnaly patched up. We either might see a more stable NT when it comes to and NT and *nix environment, or they are going to go all out like apple did and use a *nix/BSD core for a new operating system (probably Windows 2010). The latter possiblilty is very far fetched, but hell apple did it, and even open sourced the important parts. I know one thing is for sure. Microsoft will never open source anything... not even notepead.
I am currently studying my MCSE. I already have my CNA/CNE. My CNA/CNE willput an extra 15k a year on my salary. The MCSE should add an extra 10k. If you know the stuff go ahead and get it. The more you are certified you are the better you look to an employer.
who sits around looks up what royal.gov.uk is running? I could understand looking at microsoft.com or hotmail.com (which runs BSD)... any way... its just weird that someone would not only look that up, but they submitted and had it posted on slashdot
the biggest *nix/*bsd supporters are in the CS and CE (computer engineering) departments, and to get those degrees you must take Unix Programming. So they can't go all NT. Anyway the only people who can be persuaded by Microsoft like that are such simpletons that they would've ended up running Windows anyway
The employer is paying you to do what they want. The employer is not catering to you. I don't think these people who are talking about not doing work if it isn't interesting acutally have jobs. I think they float around from job to job being fired every 2 months. When it comes to money you don't slack. I weep for the future
I'm not really sure about you guys but I don't have time to browse for porn when I am at work. Every now and then I will check my stocks, but my employer does not frown upon that. I don't like having "big brother" on my computer, but if you are browsing some sites you shouldn't, you are violating the rules. This is like you guys griping about having cameras in the office so you can't sleep or stroke to porno mags...
Please don't flame me for being productive and wanting those unproductive slobs using up the network connection browsing for porn when they could be getting fired.
I don't feel that an independent linux distro aimed at women would serve the beginning female linux users very well. What kind of things would you put in such a distro? Would Themes.org make a pink background with flowers for icons? What would happen is a company would create a female-distro and pack it full of chauvinist innuendos (like the pink X-Theme). What next a linux distro for african-americans? On the internet everyone is sexless (not the act! the state), raceless, and ageless. Creating something like a female distro would destroy what people like LinuxChix are trying to do. I just think it is bad Karma
O'Reily just can't make enough great books on programming. This book is a must read for intermediate programmers who wish to learn more about programming wicked fast and clean algorithms. In college out of all the C, and C++ programming classes I have taken, no professor ever goes that in depth on the art of the algorithm
Upon closer inspection of the planet scientists have found that the planet is actually owned by Nokia and it is a television, web browser, and cell phone. Americans can't see it because they are inferior when it comes to television technology.
And yes... for all you out there it does run linux
I love apple. I really want a G4. I just don't like ATI. The cards are just a little too weak for me, but it seems that the ATI is a staple for apple now. Oh well... I applaud LinuxPPC for including drivers for the "only" class of video card shipped w/ apple computers that I have seen. Oh BTW I know you can put another video card in an apple I just don't wanna deal with paying for a dump video card then removing it and have it sit in a corner while I order a nicer card. I just don't want to pay for 2 video cards when I order my new G4.
News like this always breaks every now and then... Remember the furvor or the V-chip? I mabye see one "amateurish" a week talking about the V-Chip in televisions. I am not going to be worried about this because it will fade away.
I like the Macintosh hardware as much that the next guy. I can understand how the MACOS 8.* is popular. Its easy to use for normal people. Let me get one thing straight though. It is by no means a server OS. It is as much of a server OS as Windows 3.11. MACOS X is a server OS. It was written to be a server. That is why they are making MACOS X server and MACOS X client.
People buy macs for the ease of use with the MACOS. Linux users buy macs for the Hardware to run LinuxPPC.
", it doesn't make sense (to me) that you would buy Mac hardware to run linux"
Why not? Just cuase apple doesn't make a huge profit off the OS doesn't mean we have to use it. x86 Linux users do not run Linux because Microsoft is making the profit. We run it because it is simply better.

the site is Microsoft.com
I have a 386 sx/25 running DOS 6.22, clean install, if you crack it you get it... okay... now go for it!

somehow I don't believe this... especially coming from an anonymous coward. I think you are making this up.

That would be like Apple porting the MACOS to x86 architecture
What the hell does that mean?

does this new planet run Linux? Who is porting it to linux PPC? Is there a beowulf possibility? BTW this is a joke so please no -1, troll

I think the comments system should just automatically make the first post an automatic troll

it does not absorb radar it just deflects it in a different direction. ugh
