Uh-oh... it looks as if the frequent running of my pulsejet and gas turbine engines has finally taken its toll on my nearest neighbor.
This realtor's sign went up last week and it appears that they're now looking for a nice QUIET place in the city.
This guy is all old and cool, he's gotta be SOMEONES grampa why not mine?
When one says soda, he thinks Coca-Cola. When one says Fast Food, he thinks McDonalds.
When one says Linux, he thinks RedHat.
To be more than just an underground Distro, you've got to make money, have a company, like RedHat. They posted a Profit! Sure, I'm sure they'll do some layoffs, but they're doing pretty well.
i've heard some call them the MS of Linux, they might be similar in some ways. But until Microsoft LinuXP comes out in a year or two, RedHat will be on top of the market.
Don't believe me about Microsoft preparing it's own Linux? Why would it be 'porting'.NET to it? XP wouldn't be so horrible if all the great Win2000 programmers were working on LinuXP, and all the crapass VB and Windows 98 coders were making crapass Windows Millenium and Windows XP.
Zoot!
Does TurboLinux still have that crap text based installer? That's what buried that thing, along with poor advertising.
Suse? Green stinks, and it's too European, too German.
IBM needs to make eLinux or something....they could take this thing, but they're scared it'll ruin their AS/400 and OS/390 business. They could bury MS for once and for all!
Mandrake is nice, but it's really just RH with some glitter.
Debian? Slack? Nerds only!
We all seen what happened to Corel, no need for comment...
Storm? Gone.
Caldera was alright, but who knows what happened over there. They merged with SCO which was a laugh too.
I wondered about this before. 2.4Ghz cordless phones run $50 a piece in the clearance rack, a 900mhz one can be found for $20 or maybe less at big lots.
Then you just grab 2 modems, you should be able to get those free or for a few dollars each.
When GSAT went under, my (ex)company bought some 8 foot racks for $500, they sell for $2000+ otherwise.
This 19" monitor was $50, and this Sparc was $50. We got a ton of shit including a HUGE Xlyan switch/chassis and a Packetshaper CHEEP.
I would just like to say that I've been using the one that came with RH 7.1 and it's the best web browser there is. It's soooo cool. It's like IE 5 mixed with NS 6.
Some idiot in 'information week' or some crap I get for free did an article on this today. Java is a load of junk.
I believe they should just teach plain C, then go lower, dependent on the courses they are taking. Assembly and such if they are doing more engineering related items, Java/VB if they are taking a more generalized approach.
A friend of mine took a C++ at the local university (not a big ten school or anything, hell it might be a 'communinity college'). He complained about how easy the class was and how nobody but him and one other student wasn't having the toughest time in it. Real reall simple stuff, I laughed at his book. This is the same kid who can't get a single thing to work, even though he's got every book in the world (or atleast that I own). I literally have to go over there and cross the i's dot the t's.
Thats why all the guys I've seen, locally, that have come out with CS degree are complete morons, esp on the programming side.
I plopped down $1500 for Toshiba laptop almost 2 years ago, and got the 12.1 TFT screen. I had a dead pixel on the screen, and Toshiba told me their policy on dead pixels.
You could have up to 12 or 14, depending on where they were. You'd have to meet some conditions, like 3 or more being adjacent, or a big list of crap.
My Dell with a 14.1 TFT didn't come with any, I actually expected a few. The VAIO is in the mail, so I'm betting on it having at least one.
This dead pixel policy SUCKS. What if your CRT glass had a big BLACK, WHITE, RED, GREEN, or BLUE spot on it?!
Slashdot Mirror
imagine it on that big of a screen

Over half those posts are about drive cages that have been out for years.
This is just a key that changes the drive jumpers. NO drive cages. No removing anything. Read !!!
If it was like IRC, it wouldn't matter who or what client you had, you'd just connect. But with IRC there's a billion different networks.
ICQ was great, but who wanted to be 11782391231?
AIM is fine. Why bother using the rest of the IM clones?
I can just see sally struthers now.
Adopt a geek for pennies a day!
In all serious it could be quite a growing experience, even a safari of sorts. I'd go.
Why don't they use Transmeta chips?
MS should release Windows CE for x86, i'd love to see how fast my computer would run a bare bones windows, ie, pocket word....

We use JAWS PDF Creator at work, it was cheaper than Adobe's Acrobat, but I'm sure there's compromises made somewhere.

Personally, I don't see how you can patent a file format like GIF......you can patent data but not the layout.
The Japanese don't charge royalties every time someone writes a Haiku!

I'v wanted to do this for the longest time.

Monster CRT's, AMD chipsets, DVD/CD drives, scanners, laser printers, all use a ton of power.
Here's my idea - everyone use laptops!
90% of users don't need Desktops. Just using more power, desk space, etc. Not to mention they suck to carry around.
