Congrats! Since X was maybe 20 lines of code in '93, that must have been quite an accomplishment! Mad props to you! Banners should be made in praise of your extreme awesomeness! Much less than 5 hours to configure in '93 was quite a feat!
You've obviously never seen or used X back in '93.
You see, X is basically the same animal now as it was in '93, with a few 3D enhancements (xinerama, etc) and a bit more modularized. It also actually detects hardware now, which is a big big big fucking deal. Back in '93, you had to know your clockrate of the cpu on your video card, the horizontal and vertical refresh rate of your monitor along with the hertz to run at and so forth... and if you did it wrong you could have blown the tube on your CRT. Getting it working back then was a black art, to say the least. X11R6 was a huge beast back then. It still is.... (code wise, not cpu or memory wise)
The Gimp is a great image editor, to be sure. But firing that beast up for a few piddly screen shots is a bit of overkill. Paint is much quicker.
It takes all of 2-3 seconds to load. Your time isn't worth that much, trust me. Besides, MS Paint is abhorrible as a graphics app. About all it's good for is maybe a quickviewer, and that's pushing it.
Actually, it was changed on my menu - it was the startup splash-screen "GIMP!" and the title on the header bar that got me into trouble. Some people are way too sensitive about stuff.
I'd say, consdering it's a cutsy little animal splash. Also considering it's a term for a person with a physical disability. If you work with people like that, I'd suggest sliding your monitor away from their view... your visits to hotmail or freshmeat might send them over the edge.
3. Music management. simple as that, i use winamp to play, run, organise and "everything" my music. no *nux based program i have tried is as good at doing this that winamp is.
You know about xmms right? It's basically a UI rip of winamp with filters for just about every sound format available to mankind. If all you do is game, then stick with the platform that's best for playing around...
As long as the side effects aren't too servere I really think that every young man should be taking this. You can't expect a girl to always be on the pill, unless you are willing to do the exact same thing. It's what relationships are about funnily enough.
Boy I sure am glad that medication can't be forced upon you... because what you just said scared the hell out of me. In a nutshell you just said that you deem everyone's health in a laissez faire attitude. Every girl has a choice to use the pill or not, so my guess is every young man should to. Besides, the female pill isn't a utopia, either....
You miss the point that it isn't like that. The internet is basically a network of networks, and no one owns anything other than their connection to it. Sure, that means they could limit what goes across it, but by nature that'd be a Bad Thing (tm) because that'd lead to policing.
An ISPs job is just to provide internet connectivity to downstream individuals/companies. Not to dictate a certain governments symantecs.
Jeez...what's everyone so paranoid about? How could a hacker possibly get access to a voting machine for a minute or two with enough privacy to load malicious software? He'd need to find one that for some reason or another had a curtain around it and hope no one thinks it's suspicious that he'd be in there alone with the machine.
Let's face it, no matter what you do, your health is not going to enjoy it. The food you eat has pesticides, fungicides, preservatives etc. in it. The air you breath is full of particulate matter and NOx. Your tap water is... no, I don't even want to know what's in there.
I used to think this way too, when I was younger. As I got older I realized how self-justifying that reasoning is. It only takes a few changes in your life (and a little bit of love for yourself) to make a big difference. Sure, there may be preservatives, fungicides, pesticides, in alot of food... and sure there might be particulates in the air (haven't heard about a huge nitrous oxide scare...) however with a bit of change you can avoid a large amount of the damage done by these things.
The point is there are constant global variables in life which are controlled by the main function at initialization, and then there are the private scope variables which you alone control inside of your own instance. Alot of life depends on those variables, believe me.
In spite of everything you hear, you really aren't doused in toxins everyday. Well... unless you live in a big city like DC/LA/NY, or London.
Oh Black & White was an ASTOUNDING game, which was the most frustrating part of it. As much as I loved it, the bugs kept you from actually enjoying it once you made it past the vortex. That seems to be where the 'save' glitch started to kick in, along with random freezes that just killed the gameplay.
The ones I know about (in a EU wide bank) are a mess, and require an entire team of people just to let them run. And even so it is very simple to screw them up.
Before I start, I want to make it perfectly clear that I am a linux zeolot to the extreme both at work and at home. With the proper configuration, Active Directory is a stable directory service. We've been running it for close to 6 months now and have lots of additions to the directory, exchange integration and a customized tree. We've yet to have a problem with it. Maybe we just have uber-smart people, but I have a feeling it just leans towards the fact that it's just (god, am I saying this...) stable.
Not counting the fact that AD is horridly delicate: un-join a machine from the domain for long enough, and you are done.
Just need to re-join the machine to the domain.... I've done it several times. Soon enough I'll be integrating our Linux servers to use AD for login.
So does this mean that Samba 4 will be able to act as a BDC to a Windows 2k3 PDC? I'm going to be setting up a new box soon and would like to use Samba if possible, but the PDC has to remain Windows based.
On Active Directory, there are no more PDC/BDC setup. You have Domain Controllers (DC) that have roles in the AD infrastructure. So, the answer is yes, Samba 4 will be able to integrate itself into a current AD infrastructure as a DC.

I guess he/she should visit Los Angeles, Phoenix (not too bad now), or more specifically countries like China. You can only liberate so many carbon molecules in a specific area before it's unliveable. The carbon sink doesn't operate like a snow-globe.
That is why Linux original used ext2 (same fs as minix)
No, Minix used (uses? not sure what the "new" minix uses) the minix filesystem, which was only able to address I think it was 32mb of space. Linux had the EXT2 filesystem at a later date, migrating away from the Minix filesystem. If you compile your kernel, you'll still see the option to have the minix filesystem functionality compiled in. (or modularized)
I still remember having to decide if I wanted to go with the "new" ext2 filesystem, which will not be compatible with older kernels. *g* Back then, that was a big deal, or so it seemed.
Btw, saying that Minix and Linux are "trying" to be like Unix is about like saying that Hyundai and Acura are alot like Toyota because they are trying to be cars.
The landmass was originally called america, then deteriorated through war and various landgrabs to form other countries.
So yes, you could call yourself American, but I wonder if your government would like that, considering it's the United States of Mexico, and not the United States of America.
This whole thing is just silly, really. The name "America", even though the continent is named "north America" and "south America", has been intimately linked to the United States of America for the past 200 years. It's like arguing that Germany isn't really a country, but a bunch of states. Old hat regurgitated and useless.
..because, as we all know... the governing authorities are models of ethical and moral superiority...
Why is whatever The Man says automatically correct? <end quote>
Well, that is the basis of modern christianity.... Ever wonder why everyone is so hell-bent on making the "church" accept <insert trendy social faux pas-of-the-year>.... When everyone could just accept it themselves, and shed the "church".
The again I also remember Slackware.97, getting X to runn at 640x480 and jumping for glee, and banging my head against a wall trying to get PPP to work over a standard slip serial line. (That was before ethernet for all the noobs)
Did you use the InfoMagic CD set, or d/l each individual floppy one at a time? ahha.. I remember those days, and I opted for the CD set. ppp was a real bitch back then... the thing that really tore me apart was after knowing how to do a chat script inside and out, along came programs that auto configured ppp for you.
Doing it that way (and everything else...) really cuts your teeth for the real world, I'll have to say that!
It used to matter how optimized a system was, but within the last few years systems have come out that can run a GWBasic app as if it were assembler....
I personally use it because I have full control over what packages have what, etc. I have a source repository, a binary repository, a "altered" repository that I've edited the sourcecode on, etc. It all intermingles into a single portage repository where my systems pull updates from nightly.

Famous last words...
They could just electrify the track and run some bars overhead.
One step closer to true bumpercars....
The Silverado pickup is available hybrid, and has more power and fuel economy than the regular gas-only option.
~300HP... quite impressive.

It's called "procuring evidence".

Yep, just like cancer doesn't kill... it's the massive DAMAGE it does to the body that kills.

Well, Stalingrad was pretty much annihilated.. not burned, but damn close to it.
