I bet this guy is just a Y2k programmer looking for some money (ie. through publicity and sponsorship), becuase his crash course in COBOL and FORTRAN at ITT tech really isn't paying off anymore.
I worked for best buy on 9/9/99, and the main frames that the registers transmit all thier data to crashed. They couldn't ring up anything for the first half of the day. That was a lot of money lost.
Jonathan please listen. Andy Kaufman is a comedic genius. We still cannot even today understand the levels his mind worked at. Please do not disgrace his legend and memory by saying that Jim Carey of all people even compares to him.
"...even though Jim Carrey is already much more of a comedic legend than Andy Kaufman, the man he portrays..."
How much do you want to bet that there will never be a movie about Jim Carrey's life?
Almost All the 51xx and the 52xx presarios have Firewire (all the PIII and K6-3's do), and some of them have 4 USB ports 2 in the back and 2 in the front.
The magazine is about Personal computing. Thats why they aren't talking about the Alpha 21364. The G5 has nothing to do with personal computing, and the G4 is already out.
They simulated the conditions of preprehistoric earth... volcanoes... lightning... they created a bacteria that would absorb "food" but it would not procreate. So by the definition of life it was not alive.
You are at Thanksgiving dinner your aunt Mildred is coming to kiss you... You pull out your Garage door opener and she tweaks out like a scottish breakdancer on PCP.
Hey Rob! Not the boring Rob[limo] (hehe... j/k) Rob Malda! You owe me buddy. My cat would frequent slashdot on a regular basis. It would post stuff about hot grits and what not. Then its karma went down, and I found it last night dead... Overdosed on catnip and covered in its own kitty litter. All that was left was this note: To Whom it may concern- My life is not important anymore. My karma is -54. There is no hope for me. Meow meow meow... I just believed all the hype. The illusion of getting a +5 funny with a grits joke was just too tempting. My life goal will never be achieved. Meow.
DAMN YOU SLASHDOT! You will be hearing from my lawyers!
I was once a millionaire. Now I have merely pennies. This is becuase the US treasury didn't put a warning label on US currency that states that I cannot have my money back after I spent it. They were just taking advantage of the little guy.
I am worried that Napster is going to be shut down becuase that is the only place an independent artist like myself can easily distribute my music. If I hang out in the 'trance', 'ambient', and 'techno' rooms people look to see what I have and download my music. I love napster. I've transfered my songs over 1100 times.
I know guys who trade warez on napster. They have lets say Macromedia_Dreamweaver_2.zip they just rename it to Macromedia_Dreamweaver_2.zip.mp3. Oh well... I just thought you would like this little tidbit of info
[humor] I heard that oracle is working pretty good on linux now but you have to be 32 years old and balding with 4 kids and a golden retriever to use it. Thats according to their EULA. [/humor]
I work as a network administrator, and I had 3 NT 4.0 Enterprise servers doing file and print services sitting in my office (its more like a big room, but its mine). Everyday the second server (FP_23) in the line would crash. You could set your watch to this peice of crap. One day I stayed after work for 3 hours and installed linux and samba on it (I backed up all the data before). I configured all the services and set it up to look exactly like the old NT box. The next morning when I came back to work, it was still up.... a miracle.
I have been using linux / samba on that server for 2 months now and no one has noticed anything.
Anyway... all I'm saying is that companies don't know how streamless and unnoticable the difference is between a *nix box with samba, and an NT box when its doing file and printing services. Its especially cheaper if you are running linux. You could also save money on newer hardware since I found that samba boxes are alot faster than NT.
When I was in high school the problem wasn't getting the new information to the teachers, it was getting them to care. Some teachers just have an apathetic attitude towards teaching new things. They would much rather stick to the books they have been using for 20 years, because they know them inside and out.
There was an exception though. My 11 Grade Physics teacher made us go out and find magazine articles, webpages,... about upcoming information and research in the physics feild. It not only taught the student and the class, but it also taught the teacher.
What they could have done is opensource the entire engine under some restrictive license, and keep the.wad (I'm an old school doomer) or whatever they are called now under strict protection.

the geeks at the compound can use their PII processors as TP
Pentium II processors also make good drink coasters or toilet paper substitute, never both at the same time though.

Getting linux to boot on an IA-64 cannot be done with a quick hack. The IA-64 runs EPIC architecture, not RISC like the Alphas.
You just use Loadlin... it boots you into linux and you edit your /etc/lilo.conf and add your windows partition. Then at a command prompt type 'lilo'

I have to make this joke... M. genitalium ... that is the bacterias name... I'm sorry...
We can have a Granny X10 settings... That would be great!
Imagine the possibilities...

I know in the article the creators said they would have freedom, but what will macromedia do?
Will they allow cursing in the short cartoons?

Why was this moderated down? This is acutally a good idea
I remember these days well. Our overclocking devices were jolt cola and crystal methane.
