People mess with me because I run token ring at home. I agree that it's probably not the best choice, but hey, it was free. However, on a huge network like this, (did I see 1000 boxes?) Token ring would clearly outperform ethernet, and Token ring is quite reliable. Not to mess with your +2 funny though.
You are an athiest... Therefore you belive that there is no God. Of course to accuratly say that there is no God, you would have to see everything in every demention, all the time. First, you would discover that there is a God, but if you didn't, you would have to be God to know. I'm glad you don't code (eternal loop...).
Many people are still talking about the "Scarcity" of IP addresses. A ip address is a 32bit number. Using the full range of the internet (255.255.255.255), you get 255*255*255*255 (4228250624) FOUR BILLION of course, the internet doesn't include 10.0.255.255, of 192.168.255.255, etc, but you still get about four billion. There are not 4 billion people using computers on the internet.
IMO, this is why IPv6 didn't catch on, we aren't near the technical limit. The backbone administrators just got lazy, and unorganized.
According to this letter that Apple sent, I'm surprised they even listend.
1. There was no complicated coding, cracking or other junk involved, the "hack" is done with ALL Apple utilities.
2. Breaking a copywrite, and telling someone else how to break a copywrite are different things, therefore by listing them both as violations of the copywrite act, Apple was lame.
3. UNIX is s'posed to be open! What happend to gzip -dc patchfile.gz | patch -p0? Apple would gain more exceptance from the "UNIX people" if they used more code, less laywers and advertisements, and 'snow' iMacs.
Um, did you ever consider that perhaps a "enterprise quality" kernel wouldn't have to be unmounted? The "Enterprise" servers stay up until they go down, they don't get rebooted every week. It would have been nice if the 2.4 kernels were more reliable though.
If the U.S. bans this research, it will simply move to other countries. Imagine having to live in China or Russia for a while to get your heart transplant because saving your life this way in the U.S. is illegal.
In my opinion, the U.S. should ban cloning an entire human for whatever purpose, as this could be used for some very evil things. But banning research is stupid.
You are forgetting that, the kind of technology is similar enough, and China, or Russia could just as easily clone entire humans for evil purposes. Of course, we shoudn't assume that they actually can clone a WORKING human just because they cloned a embryo.
The idea of a patent, is for the inventor of a technology, idea, whatever to have rights over it for 20 years.
We all know Apple wasn't the first, and therefor they shouldn't have the patent. I'm not worried about it either, but I would like another stupid patent overturned.
NOBODY mentioned a video card. I thought sure there would be someone who wanted a 3d accellerator, even if it is a second-class Geforce.
A Radeon 8500 costs about $190, and the geforce 2 pro is pretty appealing at $90, these things will outdo any xbox, and overall less cost, assuming you have a system.
Cold-fusion? possible, theoretically. Eternal-Machine, no. Humans will never live forever physically.
World-Peace, yes*
We all know that a "unhackabe" network is virtually impossible, but, it could be theoretically possible.

Lithion Ion is not as efficient as the Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride), in fact, Ni-MH lasts about 15% longer. I don't know why Ni-MH didn't catch on, it's in my Travelmate 4000m (486-75mhz). The cost doesn't seem to be a factor, because the battery can still be had new for $40, and I got mine for $20.
You ignored the superior slackware package system, but even if you hadn't, Slackware makes sure they don't have ANY security problems before they make a release. You don't need to update them because of a security problem.
You are insane. My light window manager has more features than windows xp. Afterstep! Afterstep! It will run on machines that won't run windows 95 as well. Don't try to compare Gnome or KDE to Windows 95 when they are much more feature rich than windows xp.
Large companies move very slowly. Some of these people are still using OS/2.
Many of these companies don't think about which OS they're using so much as which vendor they're using. In particular, many of these accounts are controlled by IBM. As IBM puts more and more energy into Linux, these accounts will (very) slowly follow.
The fact that they are still using OS/2 does not nessesarily say that they move slow, as many have not learned enough about Linux, and didn't like NT.
The only reason I can see that you wouldn't just use OS X, is that you hate PPC hardware (which isn't really bad, it's pricey).
But we aren't talking about a desktop envirenment, we're talking about a window manager. If I thought your brain could handle it, I'd give some differences.
It runs on GNU/Darwin, as well as Apple OS X. As is said in the above article. Scince there is no real demand for GNU/Darwin though (Linux is faster, better IMO), Apple might not go after it until someone uses it for something more main-stream.
Personally, I haven't found anything truely worthwhile that doesn't work on some UNIX. You dont have to filter through all the junky programs. Of course that will change when Unix gets the market share back, oh well...
Users will use it. The Hammer is meant to cut off x86/32. Itanium is just a machine that you brag about being in your server farm. The Hammer is sometimes called x86-64, because it's backward-compatible to a 32bit x86. The result? Likely Intel will be forced to make a desktop version of Itanium. Go amd.
I could see optimizing the code to work better on quake 3, but why would it change it just by changing the name of everything? The second poster mentioned that Half-life is more popular... you could just say it's because a lot of people have junky video cards, but UT has Q3 cornered on both sides.
Personally I don't belive them, maybe they created a bug at the same time they changed all the names.

Last time I heard, they were working on Linux 2.5... ;-) Good idea to stay with .2 releases if you're using redhat though.

You mean they actually want you to buy a licence for every computer you put it on? How last-century :-)

Quake III is only multi-threaded on the win32 and mac?? versions, it's not multi-thread capable in the linux version.
Thunderbird is the name of a BIRD, then a car, Mustang is the name of a HORSE, then a car. Horses are fine with me, but I like slegehammer better.

Slackware isn't dieing, in fact it's right behind redhat on the linux counter. So don't give in that Slackware will stay small either.
No package system? You're joking right? it's the most flexible package system I've ever seen.
1. You don't like Command line utilities.
2. You don't mind paying for a GUI.
3. You don't mind this GUI being closed source.

You're not going to be able to play mp3's on a 486, even my 486-75 is not powerful enough to play mp3s, fully optimized on Linux.
:-)
You're really going to need something equivilent of, say a p120 if you don't like MAJOR skipping. In a way we underestimate how slow a 486 is
Actually, maybe you should read the post, the guy uses Windows 9x. Of course you could run linux on it, and I'm suprised he didn't.
Unix is better for everything.
Personally, I haven't found anything truely worthwhile that doesn't work on some UNIX. You dont have to filter through all the junky programs. Of course that will change when Unix gets the market share back, oh well...
