Not wanting to start a religious war and all that... but although NetBSD lists the Dreamcast as supported. the support is pretty poor: no sound, no lightgun, no rumblepak, no mouse, no X windows, no vmu. All of these are supported in LinuxDC
Bear in mind, netbsd has a LOT fewer developers than linux. Also bear in mind that some people don't like the GPL, and therefore choose not to use linux.
Don't get me wrong...I don't mind the GPL, and I use linux on some machines. I just prefer netbsd, and I'd rather run an X-Less, Mouse-Less NetBSD than a nice linux install. This is what most NetBSD users have in common: were crazy hardcore!
Really, at this point, "win" modems work well in several alternative operating systems. I prefer to call them "software" modems..
Anyway, i have found it easier to use a "win" modem then this old 14.4 ISA modem I have. "Win" modems work almost right out of the box with linux...this thing is a pain in the ass. It dials, but never connects, and doesn't take the IRQ settings you give it(It is ALWAYS causing conflicts, and wont go to an unused IRQ....even when using the hardware switches..)
There really isnt that much...you seem to not know what the hell you are talking about. I'd much rather test nukes, say, in the nevada desert than the ocean..and radiation in itself isnt dangerous, only too much..
Sorry, but the nuclear weapon may have prevented a war between the soviet union and the US! It is called "mutual fear"...
Hardy har har. Radiation would kill you long before it would cause noticable brain damage..

As far as over analyzing, no, this is not an over analyses. There are whole academic fields of study(American Studies, anyone) devoted to analyzing pop culture. This article's analysis is rather interesting, relevant, important, and [largely] true!

What I don't understand is...well...if it is for your daughter, why is it so easy to open. She is at that age where she probably _could_ open it, and even if you told her not to, curiosity would get the better of her. Does the thing lock somehow?
of course...this isnt a problem if use is supervised or [probably] if you show her whats inside when it is not on, to appease her curiosity.
NIS works great - I would highly recommend it. I agree with the parent poster in that using NIS is the obvious thing to do - the most simplistic google search would reveal that.
I mean, microsoft and a good open source strategy!? This should have been posted 24 hours ago!
MS's strategy should be to build a hybrid, pseudo-open[like apples], operating system that runs off of free unixen. Maybe the freebsd kernel, or the like, could be used. Driver support is already excellent, and microsoft could introduce a nice, stable, OS that was actually easy to use! That would make for less work for microsoft, less money spent prosecuting pirates, better OSes on peoples desks, and, ultimately, better for everyone. But that'll never happen..
This would make sense. The human race has lived with the usual parabolic[or, more technically, logarithmic and arctangential and other far more interesting differential equations and stuff, if we dont ignore air resistance] for, well, as long as we have been here. And our ancestors before that lived with it even longer.
In fact, this seems kinda like a duh thing, According to neuroscientist Joe McIntyre of the College de France, the brain is so accurate because it contains an internal model of gravity. The brain, he says, seems able to anticipate, calculate and compensate for gravitational acceleration -- naturally.
Ans the thing about the infant farther down on the page, well, that practically proves that this gravity intuition has been developed over millions of years by the evolutionary process. Heck, I can sit here and test it with this mouse ball...

50 Megs of disk space! Why? Direct X 7! This is a 2D game! Why not the Allegro library, SDL, or DirectX 3? I cannot even run it on any of my machines, since they dont have Win 98, ME, 95 or something that supports that version of Direct X. This should be able to run on a 386 with a VGA card, instead they have done some TOTAL code bloat! How complex is this remake? More complex than even Quake or Doom II or TuxRacer? That is nuts! I sure as hell wont d'l it. I have a PC gamer cd from a few years back that has kings quest 1[original] on it. If I want to download something that needs 50 megs, it wont be this!
Apple cannot legally use this code! His contract was invalid because he was under 18. Therefore they are obligated to employ someone to clean out all the code he submitted. And they also cannot look at it...because it is technically not licensed to them. If they do, he could theoretically sue...
Hey, if you're under 18, you can share that copy of quake with all your friends, but cannot license software under the GPL. (If what apple says is true). Sickening...
x86 machines can run a good portion of mac software as well. But MacBOCHS is worth a mention. Look: Virtual PC is commercial crap. Mac BOCHS is a GPLed port of BOCHS. BOCHS will work in both Mac OS and un*x for mac. It is a great piece of software, and I suggest all mac users try it out.
Interestingly, it is also the ONLY modern IA32 emulator that works on 680x0 macs...another plus.
If you brag about how Mac OS X can run all the millions of un*x programs out there, why are you still running virtual PC, one of the worst, and non-free, emulators around!

e 148.shtml is a good NIS howto.
http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/July2001/articl
http://www.isi.edu/~govindan/cs558/nis/ is a good basic overview.
NIS is a solution that will work on linux, solaris, and windows 2000 - so it is perfect for your application.
you havent read the article - it affects the drives firmware, and is therefore OS independent!

These system requirements are INSANE!
System Requirements
*Pentium or higher processor, at least 233 Mhz
*SVGA display with VESA driver
*1 MB Video RAM required, 2 Mb recommended
*16 MB RAM
*MS-DOS 5.00 or higher, Windows 95/98/ME or Windows 2000
*Games made for Windows require DirectX 7 or higher
*About 50 Mb free disk space
*Sound card optional (supports Adlib, Sound Blaster and General MIDI for music; Sound Blaster and ESS Audiodrive for digital sound).

I sure as hell wont d'l it. I have a PC gamer cd from a few years back that has kings quest 1[original] on it. If I want to download something that needs 50 megs, it wont be this!
Then, technically, any code contributed by those under-18 to the linux kernel can be used freely in proprietary products!
Apple cannot legally use this code! His contract was invalid because he was under 18. Therefore they are obligated to employ someone to clean out all the code he submitted. And they also cannot look at it...because it is technically not licensed to them. If they do, he could theoretically sue...
Hey, if you're under 18, you can share that copy of quake with all your friends, but cannot license software under the GPL. (If what apple says is true). Sickening...
