You've got to be joking when you put echange 2000 on that list. It's the crappiest PoS on the market to date. It has constant crashes, numerous security flaws, and constantly corrupts the databases that it's stores email in!
You either have very poor cooling in your box, do a lot of lan gaming/moving around, or a combination of the two. I've bought 8 WD drivers over the years and have had exactly one fail, and that was because it was damaged in shipping.
how the hell did you get modded up? It's not "racism", it's the fact that people who were born here, rased here, and went to school here can't get a job because company's are importing cheap labor. I know 3 CS grads from this fall who still haven't found jobs not because they aren't smart enough (they all had > 3.5 GPA at a well respected school), but because their aren't jobs, and the ones that are here are being filled by people on visa's because they'll work for practically nothing. I'm scared to death that I'll live on the street or work at McD's in two years when I graduate just because it's "better for business" to import labor.
ahh, the joys of having a catchall email address. I have all email to a domain I bought get sent forwarded to my real email address. Then whenever I have to "register" with a site, I use sitename@mydomainname.com . This does 2 things for me. first it allows me to see who sells my email address so I know where to address the nasty flames, and second it allows me to simple filter that address out if it starts to get spam.
but I don't think it's because kids are getting smarter... it's because they're making the classes easier. My little brother (who is only 6 years younger than I) is starting high school this year. His classes now are such a joke compared to what they taught us just a few years ago. I feel sorry for him, because with the education he's recieve, college is going to wear him down completely. Ah, the great dumbing down of america's elementary educational system.
either that, or if the manufacturer's site doesn't have any info on the board anymore, you can always use the Wayback machine. I've gotten a few old bioses that way.
Looks like they could put something like seek42 to good use! It kicks ass here at Rolla where it was written by a current student, and I'm sure with a network 1000 faster that ours they would surely enjoy it, especially if their pipe the the rest of the internet isn't gigabit.
yup, the Z80 on my ti-83 (original) is what got me into CS in the first place. I loved playing around with the code in stuff like duckhunt and ztetris, and all of Joe Wingbermuehle's stuff. Ironically, I just recently found out I lived about 20 miles from Joe and go to the same school as him (go UMR!), and have never met the guy.
I got that when I first clicked the link too. then I selected the location bar (with the link in it) and hit enter again. Loaded fine. maybe they're filtering by the http refer.
I got jipped! there was nothing green or squish that came with my 8.1 cds. Just 4 cds full of working, stable software and a kick ass live cd that has saved my ass plent of times.....
It works! No specifically in that order, but still. At our Computer Science Department awards banquet at school last semester we had several corporate "sponsors". Boeing showed, MS sent software, and we had a speaker from U of T I think. A lot of his speech was MS bashing. At the end they gave out "door prizes" for showing up, including the MS software. The first 4 things to go where the 4 retail $1800 copies of MS VS.net ent. dev., all to people who use macs and linux. I got $1000 for mine on ebay, and so did the other 3.
and there's a world market for maybe 6 computers total....and 256KB should be enought memory for anybody....and I thought I'd never find a use for my 250MB HDD.... as long as they keep building more storage and faster CPU, we will find ways to write in enough code bloat to use it.
sam and max hit the road!!! I loved that game! I wish I knew where I put it... I'd pull out my 486 with it's 2x cdrom and start playing again, that game was awesome.
Speaking of geeks and vending machines, at my local acm we are working on a computerized soda machine. The idea is you press order on the web form and if there's money in your account, the soda drops out of the machine. We are in the process right now of figuring out which caffinated beverages will and will not fit into into the slots of our pepsi can vending machine.

This is the only lan party food recipe I've ever seen, so here goes. ...there is no step 3!
1) call dominoes
2) give pizza delivery guy money
3)
getting x running has been a 3 step process for me with all OS's (slack, Free, and Open) since 4.2.0 came out.
step 1) X -configure
step 2) edit the XF86Config it gives to to set my default color depth and resolution
step 3) there is no step 3!
It just works. Really, the XFree86 people have done a ton of work making it usable right off the bat.
not to nit pick, but gcc-3.0 was in contrib/ in slackware 8, and 3.1 was in extra/ in 8.1
he's the diet coke of evil

I didn't get that email....does this mean I'm special?

Definately have to agree with that one. Milkshape3D is the best $20 I ever spent.

Everytime I hear about or see one of those comercials, I think of this comic :-)

wait a second, I thought we liked Sony and hated the MPAA on thursdays.... man, I'm confused now.
second that! I've had evolution 1.0.7 running since the day I installed slackware 8.1 (last week sometime) and haven't had a single problem.
