i've found that 8.0 runs an old system into the ground, the reason for my post. i, like you, use 7.3 for all of my computing needs, servers and clients.
you are exactly right about windows, and about apps. mainly, it appears to be the windowing manager that chews up the most resources (read:KDE and GNOME).
besides, who is using those old P-100's anyway? they only seem to be good if one is interested in building a simply lrp box. one can pick up an athlon/duron, some ram and a mobo for cheap cheap!!!
don't pass up the best years of your life. get laid, over and over and over again. there will be time enough for slashdot/computers/programming when you're older and impotent.
im embarrassed that you are infact Canadian. I don't live in America's shadow, maybe you do. Nor do I believe that I am a self-pitying Canadian, but I am bloody patriotic. Maybe if you got out from your shell, looked around with your eyes at regular Canadians, you will see a view completely different from the one you are describing (which appears to be a Media induced description). This might mean you'll have to stop watching CNN. Sorry.
oh, if you think that the US governement is small, and out of your way, get a grip. They impose themselves in everyway imaginable on the American public. If you don't believe me, drive to Buffalo, and board a plane. Then report back to me.
the truth in this is astounding - -even though you may be joking.
im not sure if anyone has been paying attention, but the American State has turned into the feared society written about in the book "1984". it is unbelievable the amount the propoganda machine is spewing out, and even more so unbelievable the watchful eye the governement is using....
all Americans should be afraid for their lives/liberty, because you are losing it for the sake of a little bit of false sense of security. The Bush Administration has done well to control the proles, no?
the arguement is : Apache has much more installs than IIS, on many. many different platforms. The amount of bugs are substantially lower, because of much higher quality of code.
people exploit programs mainly for the "vandal" aspect, but if you can't vandalize a paint proof building, you move onto the next building. Remember, one would get much more credit exploting a large corporations webserver, than some small time clown, who serves a couple of pages. (the small time clowns are running IIS, not usually Apache.) so , in light of this
what is your argument again?
if more non-techies knew about apache, it would be more exploitable?? how so?
not 100% on this, but I believe those IDE cards that create Raid-1, or whichever, aren't limited to the problems with software raid - ie - you cannot boot a software raid if your primary harddrive goes.... but, if you use the card - it writes identical info to both drives, essentially making them both bootable.
true hardware raid - scsi, in other words, is helluva lot more expensive, when considering the cost of disks, controllers, mobo, etc. (but sure is worth it, cause it is a joke to configure)
i think his post was in relation to gradual change, and how the world can do it, but not drastic, full frontal change.
to use the carpenter example - imagine you worked as a carpenter, then took ONE year off. And when you returned, you realized you were as worthless as the day you started your apprenticeship.....
that is how commercial software has changed the face of the computing industry - by promise of better features, but in reality, much less useful software (well, that is up for debate), and if nothing else, changed software; aesthetically and functionality wise.
yadda yadda yadda lessthan-thought> now, where will i hide that old feature in todays new program....hmmmmmm... lessthan-/thought>
5% of richest, do NOT pay 95% of the taxes. this is a MYTH.
nb- if this were the case --- Bill Gates would probably pay more taxes than the rest of America combined. Or, atleast more taxes than all middle/lower class combined, which infact, is about 280 million people.
001 is the country code for Canada. I believe 002 is the country code for the US (but Im not sure, I've never dialed the USA from an International location--being a Canadian and all)
(each department has a fax. all faxes need a direct line,(read:analog) they cannot go through the digital phone system, like a Nortel Meridian system.)
ofcourse, 10 departments = 10 phone numbers. atleast I've answered 10 of those 200......
welcome to Toronto, where we have had 11-digit dialing for about 2 years now.
oddly enough, one adjusts without paying much attention to it. (ofcourse, in the beginning, it was a real pain in the ass.)
cheers to New York.

if you had passed college, you would have known that in paraphrasing, you aren't allowed to 'copy' what is said. You have to substantially rewrite what is written, in your own words. Otherwise, it is clearly a case for plagiarism. (such as the above case).
Don't be a cheap ass... buy the games that are worth buying.
And what about the games that are worthless? Should I still have to pay for those? Or can I get my money back? Im not sure if you have ever paid $70 just to find out that you bought the shittiest game on Planet Earth, but if you do, you WILL know that you have been ripped off. And what can you do about it? Thank the major 3 for bending you over, and burying it deep in your behind.
this may be true - but in the case of Playstation 2, I think all the available units on release day, were infact not available (presold the whole lot). And if they weren't presold, they were sold in the first 3 days of its release..... remember when the ps2 was sold on ebay, after its release, for some outrageous amount of money??
and what does this have to do with the current thread? I can't actually remember, but I think it has something to do with sony making their money back for the ps2's on opening day. (IANAA - I am NOT AN ACCOUNTANT)
sorry, Canada is full. Funny how you picked all nations from the Commonwealth, eh? For Americans, all your choices have been narrowed to Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia or Haiti.

good call all around ---
try running your RedHat 8.0 on a 486, or better yet, an early Pentium 1 (with KDE or GNOME). Please post results.

my 2 cents,(as a Canadian).
people actually read && believe this crap?? (the spam, not this story)

would GM get away with it, if governments were GM junkies? (not that any government would ever be a 'GM' junkie- but a thought to ponder)
two words: market share.
so,....if Im the one who implements the controls, is it wrong for me to post??
