Hum, so the source is the law braking thingy. Well there is a way around it:) let me explain.
Just scatter the entire source in a well organize web site on whatever come to your mind. And
clever people could produce a script wich retrieve the source from this site and reconstruct
the proper file:
i.e:
In the light of the day, aN orphan is noThing but
_ _ betweeN his father and is mother, but
nothing is EQUAL in life, so 2 must be add to be right
_;_.
So this sentence looks like this after parsing:
int n=2;
See. That's simple, no DeCSS name, The code is in the site, on the page and you can even link to the
parser script (in what ever language Python, Perl, JAVA, even VB or C#) wich can change name at will.
Yes That's the way the boys at MS are seeing this PC stuff:
Lieutenant: "OK, the drop will be a O2:00. You kill, FUD or buy anything that run a PC and accept the Any key as default input. You Got That !?!"
The rest: "WE GOT YOU SIR!!!"
You see, Windows can't possibily have a monopoly:
it's primary competitor targets are:
The real threat (but WE Control it):
- DOS
- Windows 3.1
- Windows 3.11
- Windows 95
- Windows 95 OSR1
- Windows 95 OSR2
- Windows 98 SPE 1
- Windows 98 OSR1
- Windows 98 OSr2
- Windows NT 3.51

- Windows NT 4.0 SP3
- Windows NT 4.0 SP4
- Windows NT 4.0 SP5
- Windows NT 4.0 SP6
- Windows 2000
- Windows 2000 SP1
- Windows ME
- Whisler
the not so real threat (but WE can BUY those):
- BeOS
- Apple
- Solaris
- The UNIX formelly known As SCO.
the ((DINOSOR)US) Killer apps:
- Linux Server
- Linux Desktop
- Linux PDA
- Linux Mainframe
- Linux wrist watch
- Linux Cluster
Yeah, Bring on those CLUSTER of Web SERVER developped on DESKTOP, served by MAINFRAME so i can browse on PDA while consuling my WRIST WATCH. all in LINUX. That's world domination BABY!!

I Know, I am a bad historical writer and I quote like a dog..
In my short computer science experience, I tried some software that can Think, like a company is advertising nowadays. But the real deal is that the software try to emulate, to guess what you Donna do after I've finished, let say type this comment in vi and paste it in the slashdot form. This imply that the designer of the software have some kind of clue. But hey, we all know here, at slashdot that the designer at Microsoft only have clues when the matter of design is a way of looking you in for the Greater Good (tm), The Greater Shareholders' Good:). But that another topic.
The Next Evolution to this guessing system will the Mind Reading System. No, not like Doctor X, that will be latter in the millennium, but with the Spock technics, you know The Three Finger technics (was it four? it's been to long): You Mind to my Mind, You Toughs to my Toughs, You Wallet to my Wallet, You Do Not Need Open Source, You Do Not Need To Know What You Are doing. We Do and that's Enough. I can Imagine the electrode snap in my head, and I close my eyes. Visualize the work be done, the letter to send to, the porn site to browse:-P. Hell that's look cool, no need of a keyboard or mouse. Just think of that guys.
And after that great experience, they will introduce the OS force feedback. Watch for the General Protection Fault.
news:
"They a new disease spreading. It appears to touch only the OS name_here users. Body are found in front of the computer, with their head wired to a special device. The only clue that investigator have is a Blue Screen with this message:
"You have perform an illegal operation. You have accessed a protected memory segment. To kill the offending process press any key. To reboot the press control-alt-del with your eyes.".
Is this the legendary BSOD that geeks were talking about since the late 90's?"

But has anyone consider that, those 6000 Linux boxes are actually a VM in an big s/390??:-p
Just a tough.
Ok, I'm starting my own cluster now !! Let me see, a 386/4M, 2 486/16M, Pentium 75/32M, Pentium II 400/128M and 1 AMD 750/256M. Sure i can beat them. I have my own cluster!! What can i crunch now? I will test SETI@Home. May be i can find an alien life form sending email to Bill Gates: BORG:Resistence is Futile! BG: Hey! That's my MODO I'm gonna sue you!
- Dual Pentium Pro 180/98MB RAM(Linux 2.2.13, EJB/Database Server)
- Pentium II 400/128MB RAM. (Linux 2.2.13/Win98)
I use to do a hot switch keyboard/mouse/screen before i bought a data switch box (Lazy me) without rebooting both boxes. I dunnon why.. May be YOU can explain it to me.
And please, don't tell me I CAN'T do it, cause i did it and it's plain worked
If your company has the cash flow to do this. That's great. But most of them(The MS core client) doesn't. Like mine. We run our website on a single pentium MMX 150 MHZ. Windows must be restart once in a while, cause be have a FEW hit/sec.
By the way, i don't care if IIS beats Apache on a specific harware in a specific situation. I want the Overall performance for the overall situation.
I didn't reboot in X. I rebooted in XF86Setup, because I didn't know the exact specs for my video card, and apparently I picked settings that didn't work. That caused my display to get really messed up, and I had no idea how to fix it. ctrl+alt+backspace didn't work, since I was in XF86Setup, not X itself.
Have you tried to go to another console? You go there by crtl+alt+F1(F2,F3,F4,F5,F6.. F7 is for your X Server.).
After that kill the XF86Setup process by "killall XF86Setup". That work if the screen isn't locked black dead.
For the Windows 95 installation process, how come did you reboot onlu once? If i recall, the first reboot is when the program has finish copying your files, then when configure the settings of your de sktop, time, help, video, printers etc..(that's two). After that, if you install a program wich requier dlls in windows system directory, reboot. Some installation or modification in Windows(even the mouse!!), modification of the registery, you have to reboot. On the contrary in *nix, the only time you have to reboot is when you have recompiled your kernel. All t he update (network, sound, printers, mouse, programs, modules running, modules stop) can be donne live and the change takes effect after restarting the service, not the OS.
Can you beat that? I think not.
I ended up having to reboot more times for Linux (around 4 or 5) than for Windows (once).
You must be a genius to only rebooted once on any Windows installation.
Well, if you have unsupported hardware on win95, it won't work well. The same goes for Linux. The problem is that there's more unsupported or not-very-well-supported hardware for Linux than for Windows, which is why Linux is harder to install for most of us. That, and Windows does a better job (usually) of detecting and picking decent default configurations.
That's because EOM industries, in the beginning weren't paying attention to the "little" free open-sourced OS's. The trend is reversing now.
I must admit that for user unfamiliar with unix, Linux is somewhat disconforting. Why? Because you don't have to click to change things. And that's, IMHO is "scary" for user who cannot type:)
Point and click. That too can be damaging:
The other day, i was showing to my friend gen how to setup Samba, with a neafty Samba utility called SWAT, by the internet. He was on the Globals settings and clicked the "Reset values" button!! I just had lost all my Samba files/printers server settings. In the same mouse mouvement, he clicked "Restart smbd/nmbd" buttons, the FOOL!!! In matter of 4 clicks, he disconnected 15 users. NO PANIC!! Wisely, i saved a backup of the cofiguration file. In one line: "mv/etc/smb.conf.old/etc/smb.conf;/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart", i corrected the situation. It took me 10 seconds to type the command, 0.01 at samba to restart. No need to reboot. The users didn't noticed the server reseting and restarting.
Can you beat that? I think not.
BTW, i'm doing Windows files and printer serving from a Linux box to 30 Windows NT/95 clients; clients didn't even noticed the server change. The users only noticed the positive difference in speed for large file tranfer.
Linux make a great Server, no doubt. On the desktop market, he is catching up fast, very fast.
On the contrary, I must tell you that, with my system, installing a WinNT/95/Linux partition (yes i know, i'm foolish sometimes), the worst part was installing 95, than NT and what a smooth ride with Linux.
It took me 2 days to install and configure NT/95, due to lack of support for my SCSI Adapter (I rally don't know what's wrong with those NT drivers). I cannot count the number of reboots, reinstall this and that, reboot, shutdown on windows protection erros bla bla bla.
My wife told me once: "Why do you keep on trying!? I can find you better things to do with your hands.:)
That was VERY tempting, but i still had Linux to install:(
So with some doubts about how this would turn out, i started the RedHat boot sequence. I was right, The most painfull thing was to decide HOW i gonna set my PARTITIONS straight. It tooked me 1 hour to decide how many Gigs i will set for/,/usr etc.. Than i select start, toggled some packages, and went to sleep (at last). In the morning i found my computer telling me that it detected my new Logitec mouse..(I calculated that it took it 15 minutes to load all the selected packages, 4 hours in the mouse detection dialog box !!!)
I said to me "well, that a good start, let's go forward then".
I must say also that the installation program detected my SCSI adapter firts!! Amazing. But after the sound, video, Lilo setting, the installation ended. I reboot once and that was about it. Since than, i think i recompile my Kernel a numerous time (cause SMP, PPro must be compile to have max perf). And i must add that i enjoy the Kernel developement pace (now i use 2.2.9, like most of you).
Ho by the way, I didn't reboot since...(well my last Kernel update, check the 2.2.9 release).
Make no mistake.s My first installation and Linux usage was in january 1999. So i call myself a newbie. But i have some experiences with computers. So you can call me a "small" Geek if you wish.
Anyway, since this glorious day in my life, i keep on learning new things. I guess, you must like to lurn if you want to run Linux and thats the best part of it.
P.S. Please, you don't have to reboot to set X, the network, you modem, you sound card, Linux isn't windows. Just run on level 3, if X fail to start properly, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, that should do it. Next time, by RedHat or OpenLinux, must simple for newbies like US.
P.S.S. I must leave you here, my wife is calling for some handy work:)
John made some ajustement in the refresh that produce a less jagged game, even with my low 56k connection, i manage to "foresee" the oponent movement without lanching a rocket in the wall !! Less lagged in the deplacement.

I have been running two PC:

Dual PII-350 (winNT sv P4, 512M SDRAM): 10-14 hours Max
Single PII-350 (2.0.36, 128M SDRAM): 8-11 hours Max
I disabled the graphics in Windows and it makes no difference.
Because of that My Boss Ordered RedHat 6.0 !!
woohoo, we going Linux PDC On the dual !! Thanks SETI@home

If iwas able to score you,
SCORE +10
No kiding, very good point indeed.

Hey that's me again :)
Like i posted before, by RedHat 6.0. You will find it a brease.
