2) screen refreshing was pretty poor. example: when you switch from one virt. desktop to another and the back again the win4lin screen was blank. it would only refresh if i selected something that caused an action. so if i clicked on the start menu it would refresh the portion of the screen with the start menu.
the second one could be my setup, but the first kinda sucks. i will give win4lin the speed thing though. it was spankin' fast.
also check out ps2pdf.com its pretty cool. you can upload postscript files and it will convert them into pdf files for you. this is nice if you dont have access to a unix machine.

i have some friends who make commercials. they use corel/3dsmax/photoshop. the guy who maintains their boxes would love to move everything over to linux for stability alone. the artists wouldnt need to know jack about linux-some dont know jack about nt as it is. if they get the apps for linux (and fonts too), he can install them and then the artists wont know the difference. they wont even care.
oh yeah. when companies port stuff please dont use wine.

"I want to be a POWERuser! Make my computer a server!"
i'm sorry if you select server then the "servers" should be turned on. dont blame rh for the ignorance of their users. when i install a server the last thing i want to do is have to go and tell apache, ssh, ftpd, etc. to startup. that's one of the reasons i installed the server.
i can only speak for 98/nt. no. to the best of my knowlege windows 98/nt dont have loadable modules (or any counterpart). if 2k is supposed to be a "server os" then it should support hot swappable stuff.
Does Linux support disconnection and reconnection of SCA hard
drives?
well sortof. i have all my scsi stuff in an external box, but the disk / is on is an internal ide. when i want to install new scsi stuff i unload the scsi module, disconnect the scsi box, install the drive, reconnect the box, and reload the module. then my new drive is installed, and i didnt have to reboot.
another option. take the $5 hub. buy a second network card for your box $20. run ipmasq on linux. now subtract the cost of windows 2000 and youve saved $80. no need for a special box at all.
it's nice to check and make sure your not running services-even by accident. espically if your not a 1337 HaX0r. it would suck if you accidently started bind and greped through your ps for bind to make sure it wasnt running only to be hacked later because you didnt know the the process was running as named.
thats really interesting. i never thought of it that way. i still have trouble justifying wrong actions that way. have you ever heard two wrongs dont make a right?
this isnt to say that i dont trade mp3's-i do, i just admit that what i do is wrong. no silly justificaition for me.
from the article:
The
company has received an early order agreement from BioNumerik Pharmaceuticals and expects to announce multiple orders by
the time of the product launch
i guess this will be to support the accounting package that would be required to funnel all of that money into management and ad's. the extra cpu cycles can be spent rendering 3d molecules for the commercials.
so you honestly didnt think smoking led to cancer until 1998 when the medical experts of the tobacco lobby admited it? were you really living in a dream world that long? you know that they have been called cancer sticks and coffin nails for over _100_ years right?
When cigarettes are used correctly, the end result is quite often death
have you ever heard of all things are fine in moderation? if you smoke 1 cigarette every day or two you will probably be fine. it's when you smoke too much you have problems. i know. they are addictive-anything you do and enjoy is addictive. you know yourself better than anyone. if you are predispositioned to addiction-then stay away from things you are likely to become addicted to.
people get addicted to alcohol all of the time. is that the responsability of the budwiser? no ultimately it's up to you. same goes for fat people and food (of which i am). do i blame hostess for making those puff balls oh so fluffy? no i choose to eat. if i eat too much it's my fault.
by the way calling people a dumbshit really doesnt bring out the best in them.
i agree. i once told my boss that i wanted to take a masterbation break every hour or so. he said if i could masterbate every hour then more power to me.;)
i see your point and i agree. i however grew up around parents who smoked. i developed asthma around 16 and after i moved out for college my breathing improved greatly. i went to college in arkansas for 5 years-now i live in pittsburgh and breathing has gotten a little worse (nothing like living with my mom though). so i cannot make any scientific conclusions, but i personally feel there is a relationship.
Unless you smoke you have no reason to bitch about those ads.
i smoke. every time i try to enter a public building-i smoke. when i was a child around my parents-i smoked. when i go into a resturant with a smoking section-i smoke (a no smoking section in a resturant is like having a no pissing section in a pool). so even though i don't pay $3.00 a day for someone elses habit, i still get all of the cancerous benifits. so i think that anyone who has to be around smokers has the right to bitch, because weather or not they choose to they smoke. that decision has been by the "addicts" for them.
remember also that like most addicts it was a choice. noone held you down a forced heroin in your veins, and noone cramed the butt in your mouth. if anyone deserves to bitch it's not the smokers, but the people who are forced to deal with them.
Wouldn't it be simpler to get a drug-sniffing dog to examine the brick BEFORE destroying it? Anyway if it had contained drugs, wouldn't it better to ship it and then arrest the recipient AFTER delivery?
perhaps a female dog urinated on the brick before they sent it. the male dog could still smell it and went crazy. or the senders could have been doing drugs before they sent the brick, leaving a residue on it. the dea thought the brick contained drugs so they smashed it. if it had drugs they would have found a similar brick and had it delivered, but since it didnt they sent the pieces to the owner.
since an explination wasnt given for how they came to the conclusion it had drugs we just wont know.
But when their stated policy is to profit via low-volume sales at
high prices, instead of having the same ridiculous profits via high-volume sales at low prices, it is hard not to
believe that the hands of their CEOs are not drenched in blood to an extent that makes tobacco CEOs look
like saints.
i hate to play the devils advocate here, but high volumes arent always possible. proteins and enzymes are good examples of this. while we can try to comeup with a strain of ecoli that will produce some protein with a high selectivity (read 2-5% of cell mass), its not always possible. when new therapeutics are found they are normally in small quantities:.00001% of the cell mass on a good day. this must then be purified (very expensive). it's easy to say they should crake up production, and that is easy when you are pumping oil through a distillation column. when your product is grown in a 5 liter reactor, scaleup can pretty much impossible. biological systems are very sensitive, and hard to scale.

back on topic. two problems with win4lin:
1) it required you to use their kernel.
2) screen refreshing was pretty poor. example: when you switch from one virt. desktop to another and the back again the win4lin screen was blank. it would only refresh if i selected something that caused an action. so if i clicked on the start menu it would refresh the portion of the screen with the start menu.
