Why doesn;t one of the OSS word processors include a Mr Hankey office assistant?
Every so often you'd get that slide guitar followed by,"Hidy ho! Hidy Ho guys!" and a big brown jobbie wearing a hat would appear to guide you through the process.
"Seems to me that you're tryin' to type a letter!"
I remember seeing something on freshmeat a while back that periodically checked redhat's site for new packages and downloaded them automatically. Can't remember what it was called. Didn't use it because I run slackware.
What about Slolaris et. al.? Don't they have package managers too? I know slolaris does.
With a bit of luck, Sun will sue Micros~1 over this, or get the patent voided.
Let's sit back, relax and enjoy watching this develop.
In my day we used to make "compilation tapes" for each other of songs by bands we hadn't heard before. In this way, new music, or music that was new to us, would get exchanged, and if we liked it, in general, we would go out and buy the album that the song we liked came from.
This is how I was introduced to Metallica's music. After hearing some of Ride the Lightning, I went out and bought the CD, followed by Master of Puppets and...And Justice for All.
I went to see them on the Justice tourm and eagerly awaited the release of the Black Album which I bought, and susbequently sold because it was crap.
What is so different about mp3 files? Is this not a good method for distributing samples of your work which people will subsequently buy if they like it? It's a form of marketing/advertising.
After all, the quality of mp3 sound isn't as good as CD, so if people are really keen on the music they will buy the CD's and come to your shows.
Would it be worth debugging Micros~1 products for them even if they did open the source, especially Windows, since there are so many better OSS alternatives available already? It would be a big waste of peoples' time and effort.
I'm surprised Clive Sinclair hasn't sued IBM over the name Microdrive, because old uncle Clive, back in the early eighties made a (~120k) endless loop tape drive for the ZX Spectrum and QL computers using that name. It was much faster than a domestic tape recorder, the tapes came in a cartridge abou 1 inch square and was much cheaper that the 3 and 3 1/2 inch floppies of the time...
That just goes to show the ignorance and prejudice in society. Mentally ill people are far more likely to be a danger to themselves rather than anyone else (I think the ratio's about 100:1)
It is. It is illegal to buy beer in a pub if you're under 18, illegal to consume it if you're under 18, to buy it for someone who is under 18 or to attempt to buy it if you're under 18 or for someone who is.
It's best not to try. the fine is 400 pounds, and the pub can loose its license.
But you're right, they're far less puritanical about alcohol over here than in the USA.
That would be so cool. I wish Britain would chip in on a project like this. I know we get involved (in a very small way) in ESA stuff, but that's a completely different "market".
If I thought I had the brain-power. I'd drop everything and go to work for NASA like a shot.
It's quite easy to put 3dnow instructions in your C source with gcc because GAS, the assembler knows about 3dnow instructions e.g. to add a couple of floats using 3dnow:
Slashdot Mirror
Cool! Many congratulations to you both, and the best of luck!
Now, Hemos, tell me, what do you have to say to a girl to get her to kiss you?
It's been years...
I use it, but under certain circumstances when you try to close it down it completely locks up the machine and I have to hit reset.
:-(
I don't know of this is X's fault or the dodgy 0.9 beta nVidia drivers I've installed for my TNT2 Ultra card.
Should have bought 3dfx or matrox
:-(

Nuke plants don't run on software, they're designed to be intrinsically safe and use ultra simple and reliable analogue protection systems.
Motor booty baby.

Drink beer. Eat curry.

These don't seem to work with 2.2.15.
Back to 2.2.14 I go!
(BTW I get no video at all - blank screen - and can't swtich virtual consoles. Ctrl-Alt-Del fixes it though.)
:-(
You mean "the emperor's new clothes?"

However, they were cheap and nasty.
Does this mean I'm going to score if I buy one of these processors?
Will it protect me if I do?
;-)
Sorry, couldn't resist
Yeah, Mustaine rocks!
Metallica became corporate in 1991 when they brought out the Emperor's New Clothes (aka black album).
Yes, about 10+ FPS seems about right. It's not quite good enough for Quake 3. :-(
D'oh! I should have bought a 3DFX.
a danger to fellow classmates

not after they've drunk beer :-)
That sounds really, really cool!
I'd better start saving up now...
Who on earth is Jon Katz and why do trolls keep on about him/her/it?
So depressed people are dangerous and should be locked up are they?
If only guns were legal in this country, I'd go out and shoot myself in the head now.
Fascist bastards.

It's quite easy to put 3dnow instructions in your C source with gcc because GAS, the assembler knows about 3dnow instructions e.g. to add a couple of floats using 3dnow:
/*int foo;*/
/*foo=0;*/
#include
float a,b,c;
int main(void)
{
a=1.0;
b=2.0;
c=0.0;
asm("femms;");
asm("movq a,%mm0;");
asm("movq b,%mm1;");
asm("pfadd %mm0,%mm1;");
asm("movq %mm1,c;");
asm("femms;");
printf("%f\n",c);
return 0;
}
I'm new to inline assembler, and not very experienced, but that hack seems to work.
I can't believe that, honestly, all that there will be between the current and future versions of Windoze is a few changes to the user interface.
Maybe I can if I try really hard.
I don't know...
Anyone with me?
Yes, and I agree with everything you say
Matrox for me next time.
