not if you properly set your config.sys and autoexec.bat with dos's built in boot menu. If you told it not to load himem.sys, you could load doom and doomII fine on a 4mb machine without a boot disk.
Yes, and Slackware also has an entire book devoted to helping new users with slackware and linux in general. It's usually the first thing I point new users to when they ask question in #slackware, because it's almost always documented right there.
Yes, many, many places in the US are still waiting for cable TV. I'm currently just a scant 30 miles from St. Louis, and there's no cable TV, the Satellite TV is shit on rainy or windy days, and pretty much nothing is a local phone call. Don't even ask about DSL either.
Absolutely nothing. Why do you think he was free to be appointed to the position in the first place? We (the citizens of Missouri) elected a dead man, rather than give Ashcroft another term in the Senate.
I was reading the asc site to check on the status of my school, when the site became unbelievably slow. Fearing the worst I looked at slashdot, and sure enough it's the top story. Damn yous guys!
wow, stay around till cleanup and burden may give you a prize for traveling the longest distance:-) (Of course last year I think we had some guy from Hiwaii)
yeah, last year it was supposed to be a two location event (CA and KY), and house about 10,000 people. Of course actually attendance fell way short, so they limited the plans this year. I have to tell you though, if you ever get the chance to attend lanwar or millionman lan, burden & co. throw one hell of a lan party. You barely notice the sponsors, as they spend most of their time playing games right along side you, and giving out free shit:-) Last year I got a geforce 3, some kick ass Altec Lansing speakers, and friends got a Athlon XP2000+ and a geforce 4ti4600 respectively. Everyone has a great time.
A) MillionManLan is just really large lanwar, which was started, and continues, in Louisville.
B) Louisville does have a Six flags, and a minor league baseball team or two if you really want to get out for a while.
C) It's a lan party, not a family vaction. 98% of the attendies are between the ages of 16 and 24 or so.
D) It's a central location in the US, so more ppl can attend.
D) Your there to play games!
E) I've been to a few lanwars, and the first mml. They totally kick ass, and there really is no reason to leave. ever. period. I wish I could be there right now with a couple of my really good friends, but I haven't earned enough vaction time at work yet to get a few days off and drive down.
the 6.1 sound (and lan) was built into the motherboard. My dad's not much of a gamer, but my 15 year old brother is, so I got him a decent video card. Besides, the fx5200 was only $70 at tigerdirect at the time.
Yeah, same here. It was time for my dad to get a new machine (the k6-2/300 was getting to crusty for him). Fist I suggested a Mac, but after looking at the Apple store a minute it was clear he was completely unwilling to spend that much. I ended up building him a a box (XP2400+, 512MB DDR333, 40GB HD, USB2, 6.1 sound, geforceFX 5200, dvd, cdrw, etc) for just over $400. Until apple can compete with reasonable specs at a low price, the home user (or maybe just my dad) will be using PC's.
No, sadly those t-shirts have long since disappeared, but I may have to revive them now that you've mentioned it. Sadly, Dearth retired last semester, and his replacement seems to know less about computers and networks in general than your average helpdesk grunt.
The university's new slogan is "Rolla - The middle of everywhere". What they forget to mention is that everywhere is shaped like a donut.
The University of Missouri - Rolla keeps it's own custom version of Redhat Linux that gets installed on any machine that requires linux on campus. It takes care of the repetative steps of setting up kerberos, nis, and afs, along with the custom software path and login scripts, etc.
I just built a new system, and I'm looking for something to do with my old p3-500 w/384MB RAM. Which would you recomend if I'm using an ATI TV-Wonder VE as the video input?

Maybe :) you ;) should :P use :-) a ;-P few ;-/ less :-/ smilies ;-)

wow. just, wow. That scares the hell out of me how accurate that is.
I clicked on the link and there were 5 popups plus a Gator install! What kind of a sadistic freak are you?
(yes, I know, don't use IE, etc. work computer, don't have much of a choice)

Actually the races were typically every 2 years, so this year should be an off year. For some reason it's not though.

I'm guessing none of the moderators have read this post by ratfynk, which the clearly labeled troll has copied?
precious few viewers? are acroread, xpdf, and ggv not enough for you? Windows users only get the first choice....
ummm, you mean like freshmeat or the freshmeat sidebar? Are you trying to make a joke or troll? Whoever has mod points today thinks your serious...

speaking of that, where's our SCO news for today? I'm feeling deprived....

ahhh the irony. I bought my Apex 1100w Dvd player from Wal-mart a few months ago, and there was a netflix ad/coupon in the box.
I still say the best name for a lan party ever is WANG, but only because I came up with it :-)

Slackware has been selling subscriptions since way, way back in day, when it and FreeBSD were both distributed through wccdrom.
