Well, here on the east coast of the US, (at this moment in time) is just about 11:30 on a Sunday night. The Timezones behind that are all fast asleep for the most part, and America is not far behind.

You're obviously quite new here (and it didn't take me looking at your number to figure that out). Taco's been bitching about that for 3 or four years now. People just read links on the home page and that's it. The subscription thing stemed out of that.
Most of those would make some great desktop backgrounds. You wouldn't happen to know anywhere that has much larger versions of things like that, would you"?
Alternately, many people are using crappy video drivers which make things slow
Thanx for bringing this up. I was about to say this exact thing (until I scrolled further and saw your post...).
Throwing a crappy 5 year old PCI vidcard in a box to "try out" "Linux"* will indeed give a person a rather negative opinion of X. Personally, I had a nVidia TNT-2 in this machine and X ran far better than Windows ever dreamed of running on the exact same hardware (dual boot just for testing Windows). Got a lot better frame rates in q3a and RTCW as well. Now I have a gf4-ti4600 in this machine. I honestly have no idea how much Windows likes it, and personally don't care enough to find out, but this machine is really damn fast with teh card in. Had I shoved my old PCI VooDoo 3 card in here (where ever the hell it is), even with this being a PIV-2.4Ghz machine, X would be noticably slower.
* I say "Linux", I'm really meaning anything other than Windows.
Yup. He would've said the same thing (that it was an R4 unit not an R2 unit).
On that topic, OT for this thread, though), I took him to see Return of the King. I have the special Edition DVDs of Fellowship and TT and he likes watching them. It ws pretty funny being in the theater with him. When RotK opens, he yelling "DADDY! It's Treebeard! It's Treebeard, Daddy! And there's Merry and Pip and Gimly and Legolas and Aragorn too! Oh look it's Gandalf!" And everyone is looking at him (obvously not really knowing the story) like how the hell does this little kid know all this?!? They don't know that his Dad has read the trillogy twice and has basically memorized teh movies...:-)
He then tried to sell a reporter an R2 unit with a bad motivator
I hate to be picky, but that was an R5 unit. The dead give away was the more cylindrical head than the R2 units have. And before someone mentions that the droid on Owi-Wan's ship in Attack of the Clones was an R4 unit with a spherical head like the R2 units, that was something that bugged me from the first time I saw that movie...

Modded as Funny, but it's simple truth (the first part anyway). [...] would you want half the geek population to come running after you if you were Linus?
I couldn't help get the notion that leonbrooks was Jane Goodall's kin or something.
Linus is walking towards the door.
Linus opened the door.
He looks to his left, then to his right.
He procedes to continue walking straight as he does this.
Interesting! He's chewing gum at the same time!
I mean geesh! Can't this guy just be another geek like the rest of us?
His intention was to point out that this should not be done, that is, make a (front page) headline about every minor release.
Why?
I'll agree with you that the kernel version are generally NUMERICALLY "Minor" versions, but the changelogs say different. A ton of stuff usually happens in these "minor" releases which generally turns them into quite "major" releases (though not NUMERICALLY.

No? I think you suck for spouting out BS ideas of yours. That's my opinion. The parent's opinion that Revolutions sucks, that's his thought (I agree with it, but besides my point - I also saw it opening day).
My only point is that it IS opinion, not fact. His thought, your thought and my own are generally the same: Revolutions blew large chunks, that doesn't make it FACT, though.
Just to say it, I named him way before the movies came out. I first read the books when I was around 10 or 11. I turned 30 today... (yes, today really is my b-day)
That's the only LotR character I named a box after (and if you know the story, you can guess why I named him Aragorn). I also have:
Takua - PIII-800 - W2k
Tarkin - Dual MMX 233 - Gentoo
Bowie - Laptop - PIII-500 - W2k/Gentoo (dualboot)
Jalah - MMX 233 - MDK
Aragorn - PIV- 2.4GHz
http://www.rivendell-net.com Aragorn. (I'm only on a modem, be gentle...) There's nothing to see, but, I'll be watching my logs...:-)
So... is the nVidia 'drivers' going to work with 2.6? What about the hcf modem 'drivers'? I can't see anything or even connect outside localhost on my test of -test9 on this machine. I'm running 2.4.20 on this box because the hcf module doesn't seem to work well with anything higher.
perhaps I need to do more testing, but, 2.6 seems to break a lot of things that are very important for my machine.
Am I alone?

The other way is through vulcanic means.

So far you're both wrong. It's a combination of the two.

Yup, and by the looks of it, it's due out the end of this year too!

Why hasn't vmware released 2.6-ready official updates?
Probably because 2.6 isn't ready or official yet. They'll need, at the very least, an official starting point.

I just tried to call the 800 number. I just get a message saying that they are closed for Turkey Day and to try back another time.
Ah, well. I was hoping to grill someone about exactly what I was paying for and why I had to pay it...
Saying a movie sucks isn't a matter of opinion.
No? I think you suck for spouting out BS ideas of yours. That's my opinion. The parent's opinion that Revolutions sucks, that's his thought (I agree with it, but besides my point - I also saw it opening day).
