Mandrake is aware of this problem and implemented urpmi to take care of it. Simply typing urpmi apache will solve dependencies and install apache for you. It's not apt-get but it's close in many respects.
Mandrake is struggling just like everyone else. They had a big infusion of cash last year and big corporate manager types came along for the ride. After forking mandrake into e-learning crap and wasting money they all got the boot. Mandrake was struggling and turned to it's users for help. I don't see anything wrong with it. Under their current business plan they should return to profitability by the end of this year. Kudos to Mandrake for creative solutions to serious problems.
And by the way, mandrake and everything it creates is 100% gpl'ed. All their nice tools like Drakx, DiskDrake, etc. are all FREE. Keep this in mind next time you slam them. They're NOT Redhat or SuSE but they play in the same sandbox.
Oh and Mandrake recently penned a deal to come preinstalled on those affordable Microtel pc's that you can get online from Walmart. Another smart move.
There used to be info at http://www.tombstones.org.uk/cgi-bin/burners.cgi?a rea=us for selecting a burner to send you the set. The guy I got it from had an address ending in bigfoot (which you won't see right now since something has gone wrong) and he sent the 7cd mame set PLUS 3 cd's of console roms/emus. If you feel like doing some hunting hit my site: http://supermame.by-a.com but be gentle, I don't have shitloads of bandwidth to spare.
Yeah actually I think it's a good idea. I read about the modded Xboxen running mame. I have the whole 10cd set and was looking for something cheap and with decent performance to build an arcade cabinet mame box with...and this is perfect.
As an added bonus if I buy an XBox and no games it causes MS to lose a few bucks. That justifies the purchase.
ACk, where are my mod points when I need them. -1 overrated.
Mandrake IS server-friendly. Consider this: alot of companies are running NT and win2k right now. Their admins are toying with linux to see if they can save some cash and add some stability to their networks. These point-and-clicky MSCE's are going to shoot for a distro they can point-and-click their way to success on. Mandrake happens to be one of these distros.
Also there's no gun in the installer that points to your head and says "install ALL the desktop cruft or I'll shoot you". I got a minimum install on my old Compaq rackmount server that weighed about 100 megs and you could make it even smaller. This was DURING install, not post-install. Individual package selection is where it's at, you gotta do an expert install and have some foresight.
Maybe you haven't seen or used or installed Mandrake in awhile. I suggest you try it on a server soon just for fun. There are thousands of people (if not tens or hundreds of thousands) using Mandrake to serve right now regardless of it's desktop orientation. I happen to be one of them.
Mandrake isn't just for newbies. There have been lots of polls before and the majority of apache sites are running the Advanced Extranet Server tuned version from Mandrake. Actually I think it's either the second or third most popular server distro. Mandrakeforum has talked about this alot and other sites/polls have confirmed it.
Mandrake has alot going for it actually. Decent security out of the box, the advanced apache server, good samba, etc. etc. plus it runs on damn near anything.
I can remember a Linux expo with an Internet Café full of UltraSPARC running Mandrake 7.0, that was impressing!(sp)
Especially impressive to me considering I can't get SILO straightened out on my Ultrasparc with Mandrake 7.1...or X running..or anything else that'd make it a usable box. Damn sparcs.
See what poor engineering will net you? Most cablemodem providers (AT&T, Cox, etc.) use equipment that doesn't even allow for this. I do agree with the previous posters in this thread though. It's as if someone were 'stealing' cable by hooking it up illegally then the FBI comes and takes your TV. Maybe it's not an accurate analogy because you don't impede other cable subscriber's ability to watch cable channels but still. The computers didn't really have much to do with it. If the FBI wants to see if people modified the cable modems, just pull the cable modems.
From the picture it looks like they were using some oldschool 5 1/4" bay cable modem..never have seen one of those before but I guess it would justify confiscating the computer if indeed that ugly huge device is the cablemodem.
Actually, if you read the article, it's not really an airtight case (which leads one to believe it's vaccuum sealed). To quote the article, "The Getty is also developing a new enclosure filled with inert gas" to store the photograph in. Hmm...gas filled enclosure...or airtight case. I guess they could be the same thing, just seems odd to call it airtight if it's filled with gas. Helium balloons are airtight aren't they?:)
It's a known fact in the US that you can get away with absolutely ANY crime as long as you can afford it. Some examples:
O.J. Simpson: Killed his wife and her 'friend' in cold blood. Paid enough, got off. More recently, indicted in an Ecstacy smuggling and money laundering venture. Again, paid enough, got off.
President Bill Clinton: Received a hummer from an intern. Did nasty things with her and cigars. Lied in court (perjury). Paid enough, got off. (no pun intended)
Senator Condit: Had an affair with Chandra Levy. Made her 'disappear'. Sept. 11th came along and made the media forget about his whole fiasco. According to the police, never was a suspect, so he got off also. I think a month or so ago they found her remains. Not much mentioned since. Really Hoffa-esque.
So the lesson we can all learn: get rich and you can get hummers, kill people, etc. and you'll always smell rosy and never spend a day in jail.
One thing to keep in mind here is that stock value sometimes has little semblance to the *actual* value of a company. Worldcom is still in business and still bringing in heaps of positive revenue on a daily basis. Yeah, it's a big setback having this much debt suddenly appear, but it's not like most corporations don't have debt anyway. Amazon operated in the red for how many years? That's one tiny example..if the investors see improvement in the company at crucial junctures (like CFO's being replaced, etc) they'll regain confidence.
As an aside, is it just me, or are most investors (and investment houses) stuck on 'the sky is falling' Chicken Little mentality? Why can't a business take a hit these days without everyone panicking and screaming 'SELL SELL SELL!!!'. All I can say is, I'm glad I'm not at the reigns of a giant conglomacon like this one.
Good point, that's pretty accurate in my opinion. Of course, Lex Luthor in Superman IV had the best plan of all. Steal tenths of a penny from all the banks. They'll never really see them disappearing but you'll see them adding up. Refresh my memory if you know the details.
By the way Luthor would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that damn Superman.
Psssh, please. Everyone that's seen Total Recall knows what the real trigger was. It was when Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) put his hand in the impression of the alien hand to activate the Alien Reactor Core. With all the rain that followed the ice caps being defrosed and vaporized, it's no wonder there was a flood and a spillway.
Scientists need to hit the movies more often. "open your mind, quaid. open your miiiind"
Judging by the size of Rhode Island, a flood and/or wildfire wouldn't last very long, so there's not much for you to worry about. A fire there may fit into a CNN broadcast for about 30 seconds like this:
"Dan Mannequin here with breaking news. As you can see a wildfire is loose in the northern tip of Rhode Island. We're getting reports of lots of smoke and 10 foot flames from some area homes' fences. Ok now it looks like from this angle..yes the fire has proceeded through the northern tip and is now in the middle. The northern fire is gone as the fire has moved south and consumed a few homes in it's path. Some child's skateboard can be seen smoldering from our CNN satellite images but it's nothing serious. What's that? Oh yes, the fire has now been extinguished. A short but tragic event. You can see how brokenhearted this one man looks sitting on the charred remains of his lawn."
Actually since it's "areola" it's probably areology but who's counting... most people are probably hung up on the stupid theologic discussion about 15 posts up.

Sounds good to me. All moderators that make bad mods, please respond to explain yourself. That'll make everyone happy.
With a little more digging I found a site with an active burner that'll send you the set CHEAP.
http://www.mameburner.com/

Before the show go to Noodles Kitchen, order some good Thai food and say hi to my wife (Pam).
That's the place with the fat comic store dude from the Simpsons right?
"Well I suppose I can trade you for this near-mint condition limited edition Mary Worth clock... No on second thought here's some gum."
Really? OpenBSD ships with Apache Advanced Extranet Server with Thawte enhancements just like Mandrake? Wow I learn something new every day.

And a 10 cpu cluster is called...
*drumroll*
A decathlon! Thank you, I'll be here all week. Remember to tip you waitstaff.

Dude, everytime I see that logo it freaks me out. It looks like a balloon with Mickey's logo on it, half-rotated away from the viewer. Creepy.
If it wasn't for Caldera's superdope icon sets I wouldn't even care who they were or who ran them. Wait, I don't. I like the crystal icon sets though.
Here's your linux installer
/mnt/win_c/Program\ Files/Neverwinter\ Nights/* /usr/local/games/nwn

cp
done.

Excellent, that's what I requested, a correction.
Where was Luthor this time around? We all know Pryor failed, post-speedball-explosion.
