That's in Kelvin. Did you convert to celcius, then to farhenhiet?
( ( 15000 / 50 ) - 273 ) * ( 9 / 5 ) ) + 32 = 80.6 degrees Farhenhiet. That's about what the temp in my room sits at when all of my machines are humming along.....
the problem with tailoring it to the exact task is that often the task changes. I've been working on a custom app for 3 weeks now, and the requirements have changed twice allready.......
what version of gcc does FreeBSD 5.1 have that they can still build it for a 386? Even Slackware has moved on to optimizing for 486 now that gcc has broken 386 compatibility....
Even in somewhat large cities, local news has gone by the wayside thanks to ClearChannel. In St. Louis, 105.7 used to have the Best local morning show (Jeff, Trish, and Tom), and best late night shows (Joe and John) that I've ever heard. The both been replace with shitty national acts (Stern and Love Line) that suck ass. We love homoginsation!
funny you ask for opera, the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 (and I'd assume 5600) runs linux, comes with Opera, and works with every WiFi CF card I've stuck into it. It really is a great little machine. Oh, and Opera renders hella fast on it, and give 5 levels of zoom too! Even slashdot's god-aweful design works well on it!
My university uses AFS as well. From a user standpoint, once everything is set up it works great. They've got it seemlessly integrated into all the Windows, Linux, and Solaris boxen on campus using OpenAFS and Kerberos.
I had no complaints with it at all, until I tried to get a FreeBSD machine working with AFS. For starters, OpenAFS doesn't have a FreeBSD port. I've heard rumors of one in the works, but I haven't seen anything useful in the last year. I did stumble across a project called arla however, which allowed me to at least mount/afs. Unfortunately, AFS uses kerberosIV authentication. This would be fine, accept my schools kerberos server only hands out v5 tickets. I have yet to find a kerberos implimentation that correctly finds my schools 524 server and actually get user permissions on AFS space. That's where I'm stuck right now any.
Like I said, works great in Linux, Solaris and Windows, but beware if you try with a BSD.
you know thats funny..... When I play CS I usually switch to my Techno directory in XMMS and crank up the volume. I find it helps me play better than just listening to the sounds of the game.
I wondered why this sounded familiar and not related to the topic at hand, and then I remebered this.
Just because you did a s/NT/XP/g doesn't remove the plagerism of a 6 year old article.
therein lies the problem. They start the degree and take up a third of the intro classes, but by the time you get to your second or third year, all of your classes will be filled with guys. Don't have a clue as to why this happens, it just does. Almost all the girls who start a CS degree (at least here anyway) transfer to a different school or switch majors.
Anyone who feels they have to be running Gnome2.2 is either sadistic, or hasn't tried it yet. It really is a slow POS, and if you try to change to a less bloated wm than metacity (what a peice of garbage), it becomes unable to save your background, and won't properly "save your session", hanging gnome the next time you log in. This happens in both Gentoo 1.4 and Slackware 9, so it's not distro specific.
I used to proclaim the greatness of gnome from the tallest mountains, but 2.2 has driven me the much greener pastures of KDE.
Yeah, I actually asked the lead developer of the ATI's catalyst drivers about Linux support at lanwar 18 (reviewed here), and he blew me off with a "go look at the website, next!" answer.
Really? that sucks. I bought my gf4ti4600 a few weeks after it was released, popped it in, installed the NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX packages, changed the driver used in XF86Config and X started up beautifully with full hw accel.

damnit, now your screwing me up. the comparison is supposed to be when they're in celcius, not fehrenheit
your order of operations are foobared. the comparison is done after both temps are in fehrenheit. I.e., your dividing by 50 at the wrong point.

that's a C++ style comment. Since UNIX is in C I'm sure the infringing part is more like
/* you are not supposed to understand this */
benefit? I don't call having to piss every hour a benefit...

It's great that you got that off your chest. Now, what the hell did you say?
ahhh, the URL is case sensitive, and REQUIRES the www! crimes against humanity in the name of OpenBSD? say it ain't so!

did anyone happen to get a mirror of the this article before the server it's hosted on went poof? What'd they do, host it on the Zaurus?
I think I just found my new email sig :-)
ohhh, a sneaky little alpha troll aren't you!

not true.
I sure as hell wouldn't call this a car, and yet it has 4 wheels.

Come on, I thought nerds would at least get something like this before Leno!?! But no, it was in his monoloug last night.
shit, broken link, my bad. The Tom's Hardware Guide link should be here.

forget the Evil Bit, what I want to know is if they've integrated lzip yet, announced here to years ago!
