Now, not only is it bad enough to be a depressed high school student, you've got to hide it from your friends or risk getting sold out/arrested for a free t-shirt. Last I heard, it wasnt illegal to be in a bad mood.
I dont mean to sound harsh, but does anyone else think that Jon Katz just likes to read his own flowery writing?
If they only had Pepto-Bismol for his continual diarrhea of the fingers... First, it was "oh, another story by that Jon Katz guy" then "not another story by Katz" to now, "oh god, he's wanked over the keyboard again.."
Maybe I'm wrong, but this is just my opinion. For some reason, Katz is the only Slashdot poster i've ever thought about filtering out. Rob and Hemos keep treating him like their pet writer/ patron saint..
If I buy a thousand monkeys and a thousand typewriters, will you give them news posting priviledges? They'd come up with better content than Katz, for just bananas-a-day.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with Linux (in fact, I run RedHat 6.1 on my Ultra 1/170E, and will be playing with Debian on an Ultra 1/200E), but the last thing the world needs is YET ANOTHER self-masturbatory-look-at-me-mom-i-run-Linux web page.
There's a large community of Sun/Solaris users out there, and they are whom sunhelp.org is meant for. If you dont like it, go visit linux.com.
Its people that say "Linux rules! other OSes Suck!" that give Linux a bad name. What more Linux fanatics need to realize is that there are good uses for EVERY operating system out there. I run Linux on my desktop at work, but for some of our critical servers, I wouldnt think of using anything but Solaris. It depends upon the intended use and expected load of the machine.
As for me being a "fat fuck", well, if you want to be juvenile enough to call names, feel free. I could care less. I've been called worse names by people much sexier than you.
Linux invented NFS? No, Sun Microsystems invented NFS, years before Linux was even thought of. OpenGL was invented by Silicon Graphics, again, starting out (as IrisGL) years before Linux was thought of. I beleive IBM was doing journaled filesystems long before Linux OR SGI was, as well (but I may be wrong here). Sure, its nice to have these features available on Linux today (and other UNIX-based operating systems as well), but just because an OS helped something become popular (e.g, OpenGL-based gaming) doesent mean that it has brought "true innovation" or "perfection" to those subjects.

You *do* know that if you contest a credit card charge w/PayPal, that they close your account, right? At least thats what their TOS *used* to read...

was when they talked about the libc-to-glibc migration, and referred to it as one of Linux's "graphics libraries". I think its on page 126, left hand page, towards the bottom.....
silverchat, a local multi-line (up to 100 users) chat system, reminds me a lot of the old BBS days. Check out silverchat's web page, telnet to silverchat.com, or "ssh -p 2323 silverchat.com". Great system, mostly local Austin people. Be warned, however - we're not friendly to outsiders. 8-)
Katz, I used to think you were just another annoying journalist. Now, I see you did something good for a change. Keep it up. More Southpark. Take some kids to see "Debbie Does Dallas" next!
If you read the news.com article a little closer, you'd see that Compaq also quit selling systems online themselves, and then only for specific models (as their resellers were bitching that online retailers were bettering prices).
FUD. Rob, when are we going to see some GEEK news on here? I can get this stuff off of cnn or news.com.

Please stop this. Everyone is tired of it and
you're not funny anymore.
Please stop this. Its no longer funny, and I'm
definitely tired of it as is everyone else.
Please stop this. I dont like hearing from friends "oh, the ACs are after you again on slashdot".
Troll, cant you stop this? Have you nothing
better to do?
Troll. Cant you stop this damn "MRBILL DID X"
stuff? I'm tired of it, and I have no idea how
I've pissed you off, apparently.
PReP was much less tastier than say, the IBM RT
pre-PowerPC ROMP stuff. It was like the little
piece of garnish on the side of your plate...
*sigh* troll.
*sigh* another troll, another week of Slimfast..
Grow up, troll.
Troll. What did I do, run over your mother
or something? Whats up with all the "MRBILL
<x>" trolls lately?
Two. One to lift me, and one to read aloud from
the "Trolls and Packet Monkeys for Dummies" book
while doing it.
Troll. And this one isnt even funny.
Its good that I have a sense of humor.

If the unit runs Linux, I'd suspect the kernel
would be available from ftp.us.kernel.org . . .
If you read the news.com article a little closer, you'd see that Compaq also quit selling systems online themselves, and then only for specific models (as their resellers were bitching that

Not funny at all, considering you took the
