Go to a country like New Zealand, you bring Akira along with you on VHS, your sunk.
BETA's only dead in the country where people think RAP is cool and geeks are freaks (popular opinion, not mine).
Hell, the euro's gonna squash the dollar anyway, right?

Its a shame Beta never became a home theatre standard in the US. It'd kick ass to be able to go rent Matrix at blockbuster, take it to the studio, make a copy on one of the $20,000 decks, and add it to my collection. Now I gotta get the vcd, convert the mpg to a mov for better playback on the G3, then just copy it on VHS or SVHS, doesn't matter though, by now its already what, 4th generation?
I stand corrected, however, there are many non-profit organizations that are the sole source of some people's income...
at the time of this writing I'm 14(I was 13 like 2 months ago), I'll be a highschool junior for 99-00...
Though I don't see how age comes into the matter, age really is so fickle...
I've been using linux since I was 12, and it was NOT redhat, I did my time reading HOWTOs and man pages, I got X working my first time from a CONF file I wrote completely from scratch, which is alot more then I can say about some "adults" that I know.
There's been kids much younger then I that have gotten doctorates, and written books. Hell, wasn't Alexander the Great like 9 when he started?
Umm, why did this man's comment get bumped to -1... some moderator's personal vendata? there doesn't seem to be a good reason... so CmdrTaco, or Rob Malda, when you grep the threads for your name, find the guy that did this and kick his ass.
I agree, I once saw a keyboard with a trackstick right between the g and h keys. with the buttons right under the space bar. it was awesome, you could use the mouse while keeping your fingers on their home rows. I'm trying to find where to buy one now, but haven't had much luck, if anyone finds one can they mail me at finale@macroshaft.org?
Consider the odds... peaking at 1000, what a nice even number... I bet you one of those systems they used to benchmark, that there was some conf file that had a limit set. Perhaps after the 7th martini, the poor mislead man running the tests forgot a zero.
Well, linux was completely rewritten from scratch. AT&T and Thompson had about as much to do with li nux as the prohibition did root beer (heh, I like that). Though, linux is licensed under GNU, no? If it wasn't that "Guh-new-li-nuhks" sounds incredibly horid, I might actually be a proponent...
Free Beer, Free Speach... who cares? I want Free Sex.
heh, your right, it was an over generalization on my part...
your post freaked me out for a second though. Orion is my first name... course you could care less... if you want, me mail and I'll send you a scan of my birth certificate
Tell me if I'm wrong, but in a nutshell, didn't they just say that they benefit from people paying them to improve their (P)OS? It talks about universities doing that very thing... That can't be true though... Universities are supposed to be where the *smart* people flock.
Today I visited the local computer show, and they had one of those kick ass SGI monitors, it was $2,300 and came with a 32 meg video card! The bastards had to keep it in the box though... Guess they were afraid of the riots...

I can hardly believe they even let someone as dumb and irrehensible as you around modern technology.
When you see someone installing slackware, you point them to Red Hat?? If you must use a distrobution, slackware is definitely the best. You probably couldn't even fix a Makefile if it was broken, so go hide behind your "easy" little dselect, and rpm. And you, sir, have no right at all, to call someone else a newbie.
If you can deal with the learning curve, stay with windows. I bet you have poor hygene too.
I recently got a 56k hayes. Albeit a tad overpriced, heck, I didn't pay for it, it sure looks cool. Like something out of 2001, or it's action packed sequel, 2010. It has a white case, then in the front where all the blinking lights are, it has this dark, transparent-red cover, with lighter red lites under it. the thing is way more stream-lined then a USR sportster.
New poll: I would by a modem based on ( ) Performance. ( ) Looks. ( ) You poor souls. ( ) Huh?

umm, Slashdot is a non-profit organization, dumbass.
Does this mean they're getting rid of those silly US/crypto laws?
But will it run Linux?

though remember, gnu is pronounced "Guh-new" (Gnome being pronouncd "Guh-nome" in the same fashion), so it'd have to be "li-guh-new-ix"

I'm familiar w/ the story between the two, but aren't those also the names of the Romulan homeworld and it's sister planet in Star Trek?
