Anyone remember hearing about power plants going out when they did testing? Not all of them have been tested so at the *very least* power will go out. Add that onto people going nuts simply because of the time and the cold outside winter weather when it all goes down and a bit of a problem starts to surface.
My county is setting up serveral Y2K stations for those who need it at area police/fire stations and I think it's a very good idea and it shouldn't be mocked.
I think the number was 32. That sounds like a few to me. You recall wrong. Stop being in denial. Yeah I used an Apple IIe back in the day and loved playing Odell Lake. However unlike the public school system, I learned they suck and went PC.
Apple is a worse monopoly than Microsoft and they produce crap. UMax was making faster Macs then they were... can't have that, and wham, they pulled the plug. BeOS was running better than MacOS. Can't have that, wham, pull the plug. They even have infomertials. Ugh.
And don't give me any of that "I run Linux on my PPC." I've seen Linux on a ppc. It sucks. The hardware sucks. The software sucks. Go buy a PC, you'll never go back.
Well if I was DAMN sure it would end, time to steal some cars and do some drugs and whatever the hell else that's illegal.
If the world didn't end, I'd have minimal guilt about the sex and grease b/c I know whatever damage I would of sustained would be far less then dying without a big wide smile on my face.
I don't like Quicktime to begin with anyhow. The quality is rather shoddy (black/grey splotchy squares looking like dropouts in a streaming clip) and just like avi's and real media files, you can't stick them together (ie. cat part1.mpg part2.mpg > whole_movie.mpg) which is quite nice. So I guess you're right, I deserve much better than what Quicktime can offer me.:)
For the curious this works with mp3's too. As an added bonus of not having burnt-in begin/end points you can view/listen as you download.
Yes I know X = 10, pay more attention. Why is it Mac OS X? Why did they skip Mac OS 9? My *theory* is that they used it to borrow from the fame of X. Or maybe they just think they're l33t HaXoR d00ds and throwing random X's around will make them cool.
It goes along nicely with the idea of using other big industry buzz words like "Apache" and "Open Source"
http://www.apple.com/macosx/server/apache.html
Look how many times they repeat apache and open-source as they like to call it and claim it's a "core component of Mac OS X Server" but yet I seem to recall it being able to take down a server after it fires up a few cgi scripts... but maybe something else handles cgi, don't quote me on that part.
Anyhow, you should see what I'm getting at here. Apple is doing the same cut-throat activites Microsoft does but instead of going after DR-DOS or OS/2 they're going after what anyone reading this should want to support and protect.
If Apple is really all "Praise God we have open source my brothers!" like they pretened to be then wouldn't they WANT Sorenson to release the codec? Why would Sorenson hold back the codec? From what I've seen it's not some super spiffy change the world thing like the mp3 codec so they might as well.
Apple is clearly holding them back going against their faux support of open source and is just using buzzwords to try and save their sinking ship which is rubbing off a bad image on the open source community. At least SGI isn't pulling any of this bullshit. I mean come on. Mac OS X? What happened to 9? Why not just 10? They're using the X11 keyword.
Just give me a good 24 hours to go and get laid and go parachuting and get laid and eat lots of greasy junky food and get laid before they flip the switch just in case it does end the world and I'll be happy.
"There is a new Star Wars trailer that has been recently released and it uses the currently unsupported Sorenson Video codec. I have contacted Sorenson about licensing their codec. They responded that Apple won't allow them to license it to others."
What about that damn sornsen codec that Apple forbade the specs from being released to the xanim guy? The hell with Apple. I like MS more than Apple, at least they don't try to market Apache as being their own propitary webserver or partion their memory.
How in the hell did NSI sneak in and get so much power? The people working there must be more assaholic than mircosoft. No way does it cost $70 a year to point a domain name to a few nameservers. It should be like $5 max to pay for the machines that get the query for the lookup and the bandwidth. They must have millons of names stored on a single machine. Here's a quote from the pages of the *free*.us domain:
"While each locality domain manager is responsible for setting his own fees or billing practices and deciding what is 'small', it does seem that what the Internic charges should be considered to be 'large'. Some of these companies are charging $10 per year."
Although I'm all for it and I think just about everyone else is, I don't think it's possible to start our own free or reasonably cost TLD. NSI thinks the list of existing names is all theirs and the only way we could get a hang of them is by having some sort of a police raid.
Same thing goes for IP addresses too btw, the prices are way ludirious. A block of 65,000 or so breaks down to costing $0.03 a piece per month. My ISP (@Home) wants to charge me $8. What the hell is that?
Something has got to change. Non-profit orgs should not be able to run themselves a million dollars into the hole. They need to fire some staff and get JOBS instead of sitting around and hiring their friends so they don't have to get a real job and can all just slack around with their unearned/undesereved power.
When I was in preschool I was thinking "Hum... I could crawl out the bathroom window and run outta here and would get in no trouble because I'm so young. The older I get the more trouble I can get into."
Someone needs to pull out the beatdown stick and displine the child.
I don't think I know of a pci ide controller that doesn't work in Linux actually. The controller should have its own bios on it and have a little init screen after your system's original bios does its thing. Only problem I've had is that lilo doesn't know how to write the mbr on it and the 2.2.x kernel option to have the drives on it show as the primary/secondary instead of tertiary/4th doesn't work but it doesn't seem that this will cause a problem for what you're trying to do.
Of course provided by = free. Who in the hell would waste their money on a micron? Yes I hate them and am totally biased but what techie would take a store bought over getting to build their own?
I wonder what happened to the old server? I think it should become my graduation present.:)
I installed RH5.1 via FTP. Later on I obtained a CD of it and installed it on a seprate computer via CD. __There were more packages on the CD than RH had on the FTP site__.
This is a lame example, but xearth was not on the FTP site, but it was on the cd. There were a few other amusments missing too and proabley a few of the more techinal programs I don't play with... spice for example but something major could of been missing as well. Yes I suck, I don't use all 1843 programs included, sorry.
Now, if they've done it once, they can do it again. It's even human nature to want to get an offical CD in a nice boxed set instead of some werido ftp site and I think they're going to abuse this.
I'd also like to point out that the "Redneck" install disappeared between 5.1 and 5.2. With RH's reformed politically correct install, maybe they got their act together and got the FTP site current with the CD. I installed RH 5.2 from CD to start with so I don't know.
And of course on top of all this, they're not supporting the Linux Standard Base... claming it will slow down their development... whatever. That is such a Microsoft thing to do, make your product the most popular and then make it incompatible with the meager fraction of the market that's left over so that you can aquire it.

#1 I don't post a lot either, but I know how to click on the preview button.
#2 FUD my nut. So what is going on here? Now do Mac users use buzzwords alongside Apple to get attention for what is pretty much just vaporware?
#3 MP3s? That would be QT 4.0 right? It's still in beta and it shows.
#4 You still can't stick them together

What in the hell are you babbeling about?
When the new RH comes out, will you get it or something else?
Has anyone else noticed that when RH dropped the
"Redneck" install language going from 5.1 to 5.2 it started to suck? Politically correct, BAH!
You could tell they were starting to loose their roots and instead of having fun (isn't that what it's all about?) they were trying to make money.
