You are a tad confused here, Mach IS the actual kernel, the interface however is BSD. You can make Mach look like NT if you wish, you just need to provide an interface which is familiar to enough people, in this case BSD had enough userland to take it as the desired interface. In fact you could have mach running several "personalities" I.e. you could make it look like BSD and Linux at the same time.
That means you have one of them old powersupplies, those were recalled by Apple, I think you can still get them replaced for free (shipping ain't though).
Acutally there are two reasons why CRTs are still not dead, and the true black is not one of them.
a) Resolution, i.e. CRTs have an easier time displaying multiple resolutions whereas LCDs can only display properly their native resolution. Plus CRTs have finer dot pitches.
b) Refresh rates, certain LCDs may have great image quality for STATIONARY images, but when displaying moving images your refresh rate may not be high enough due to bandwidth issues.
For those reasons, oh and price, the CRTs will be far from dead for a while.
Oh, and the whole LCD color matching better than CRTs is quite bogus, I take you have not been into a serious print shop ever have you?:)
Yeah, it only produced things like TRON the most widely used embeeded OS, and most of the current set of highly integrated japanese computers. Other than that you are correct it produced nothing.... LOL
You are trying to use a tangential argument, and... you know it.
So you answer with something totally unrelated. The original poster claimed that it was critizism of the beloved president what is causing the current woes in our country. See, that is pretty much the definition of nazism, a beloved leader and if you critizise him/her you are part of the problem. Since I have not expressed any opinion on anything that the previous poster was disagreeing with, but rather I was disagreeing with him/her (this part may be a tad tricky for you I know)...
But by all means take my response out of the context, mudge it a little bit more, respond with something it had nothing to do with my original response... and voila you have yourself a nice argument. Too bad it had nothing to do witht how and what I was replying to. And see I am not calling you a nazi, but rather a manipulator... cheerio!
I remember the UN not condoning the US actions, so basically in your utter moron logic you are pretty much claiming that the US had to ignore the UN to go against Iraq because Iraq was ignoring the UN?
Whoah.... keep it up! I also liked your whole "irrelevant" response. Jeez, so when you invade a country, kill thousands, and spend billions under the pretense that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. And now that none are found, you claim that is "irrelevant"?
I am amazed, I wonder why are you so afraid of thinking for yourself, trust me it doesn't hurt.
I am sure that next time Bush tells you that we must attack the North Pole because Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are part of the axis of evil, I will expect you to come up with new and impressive reasonings on why we must take care of that national threat also known as the tooth fairy.
I specially liked your "he got rid of the weapons in secret", so let me get this straight. He had weapons of mass destruction (according to you, you know he had them...), he -Saddam- gets invaded, and according to you the first reaction of this crazy psychopath is to hide them. I mean whoah...
Keep it up, you right wingers are way more enteraining now that when you tried to pretend that a blowjob was Americans #1 enemy. LOL!!
Liberal shows can't succeed because a majority of the people who listen to that type of shows want to be told what to do, say or think. That is the reason why the highest ranking conservative talking head has a cult of followers who call themselves "dittoheads", i.e. that is pretty much an insult that these morons wear like some sort of badge of honor!
Also, just for fun go and listen to Rush (whenever he gets off rehab) and see how long a liberal lasts on the air trying to get his point across the calling segment.
Well, you seem to forget that Al Gore was VicePresident for over 8 years, and last time I checked:
1) The guys who bombed the WTC and the Cole were all brought to Justice. Saddam was bombed when he refused to comply with the UN, the Republicans argued that the moves were politically based.
2) Did you stop owning or were forbiden to own a gun during those 8 years?
3) How much money did you stop making during those 8 years?
4) Last I checked gass was over $2.00 on the average since Bush has been in office, only recall a few spikes during Gore's first 8 years. And 1000 pound car can be both fuel efficient and safe, what it can not do is compensate for whatever shortcoming you may suffer.
LOL, so you count Mr. Savage (aka Mr. Wiener his real lastname) as a true "journalist." A guy that said "gay people should get AIDS and die"... so that is what you consider the kind of journalism that can save a newschannel?
Kind of scary when you consider "opinion" pieces as reporting, and when you consider ABC and NBC liberal. Of course with no data to back your claims whatsoever, you just keep the whole rightwing mantra that if you repeat something enough times it becomes true.
And calling FOX news centrist is just funny, afterall the only openly liberal (and a poor one at that) in that whole organization is Colmes, whereas Hannity, O'really, Oliver North, Cabuto, and the rest of the semi-dead uptight middle aged angry white males that appear in the rest of the shows are just handy dandy centrist, are they?
The concept of liberty is not exclusive to the French, who BTW were a colonial power too.
Not that I agree with Bush by a long mile, but the whole French "freedom" loving fest is just as ridiculous. Afterall the French surelly enjoyed giving freedom to their Northern African colonies, and of course Indochina all they had to do to earn their concept of freedom was to ask nicely to their French overlords, right?
Well, why the heck do you need they got Arnold on board, he has to do the translation now. In fact he is the original candidate for he is fluent in the original Austrian dialect it was written on...
.. yeah, I am just seeing all these Democratic candidates with over 200 million dollars for their campaigns, oh wait. No I don't see them, maybe your concept of equality involves "equal plus minus a few hundred million dollars"....
Yeah... of course if thousands of voters had not been "conveniently" wipped out of the registration lists. Or the fact that the person who had to certify the counts actually worked for the Bush campaign, or the fact that Florida's supreme court allowed the recount, while it was the US Supreme court who over ruled the Florida's decision... of course ignoring that most of the justices who voted against the recount were either Reagan or Bush I nominees.
Yeah, if we can ignore all that... then by all means Bush won "fair and square"
Oh, and if Bush was winning why did the republicans have to send their stormtroopers, err. I mean staffers to stop the recount and hackle the officials?
It is rather telling how some people are still obsesed about another person's penis for over 4 years! I am sure there must be some wonderful homoerotic reasons for so many white males in the republican party to be so hung up on sexual interations between two consenting males. Afterall it is not like Newt G. would do anything as bad as getting a blowjow. Afterall all he did was to leave his wife, while she was undergoing breast cancer treatment, with a staffer 20 years his junior. I mean that show moral "claritude"
Anyhow, a blowjob never killed anyone last time I checked. I am sure your boy Bush never lied right? I mean we sure found those pesky weapons of mass destruction who were pointing at us and ready to wipe our collective asses in 30 minutes flat. Right? I mean lying about a blowjob is certainly far more dangerous than the lifes of hundreds of US servicemen/women.....
Keep it up, but may I suggest you at least have the courtesy of getting out of the closet first. This whole obsession with Bill "pants aroud his ankles" is becoming rather unhealthy....
... well do you wanna go into the movie carreer of Ronald Reagan then? If that is the case I am sure that anything Reagan did or said is automatically disqualified due to his god aweful movies.... then we can analyze Arnolds fine acting carreer if you wish.
Yeah, it is criticism that is ruining this country. Afterall this country was built upon consent and not dissent... I mean those damn pesky commies daring to say somethign bad about our beloved Fuhrer!
Bastards! I right there with you brother, btw may I say you look smashingly good in you brown shirt today.
Yeah, right now I can go through my AM dial and hear all those "liberal" media outlets. Or pick up all those "liberal" newspapers, or listen to the "liberal" clearchannel owned stations, and of course FOX news is as "liberal" as it gets....
Jeez if the media is "liberal" in American I just do not wanna think about how much those poor conservatives must struggle to get their point of view accross the news....
Jeez, I guess the X11 people were on to something since the 11 version, which followed the version 10, of the X window system had its first release in the mid 80's (87), which was like almost 7 years before windows 3.11. X11R2 came out in 88 and started to be adopted by major unix vendors, again...this is way before windows 3.11 ever came out.
Xwindow version 10 actually was the first "public" release and came out in 85 I believe. I have a tape image with sources somewhere, previous versions were private delevopment releases within MIT, each version from 1 to 9 had major additions to the overall architecture (i.e. full client/server support, color support, etc.)
Anyhow, you are either a troll or a very ignorant person. In any case you have no freaking idea what you were talking about....
Well not only no mention of Matrox... but more importantly no mention of the first real general purpose 3D card to hit the shelves in the mid 90's: the S3 Virge!!!
S3 prodiced general purpose graphics cards with mdoerate 3D support, 3DFX was only an add on card. Also there were plenty of 3D labs FireGL boards during that period too. This is not a "video card history" by any long shot, i.e. not only 3D boards were ever produced! In fact it is not even a marginally good review of the evolution of the 3D board market from the mid 90s til today!!!
Anyhow, the article was just childish, badly researched and incredibly badly written. But hey, this is slashdot.... not that the quality control process was ever great when deciding what stories to post.

Well, funny you said that he got rid of two terrible dictatorships, care to elaborate how both Saddam and The Taliban got into power?
Go and read the book on Hitler, and read about how exactly he got to power. I recommend you follow your advice first.....

LOL, nice try though...
Ted Turner left Turner (now owned by Warner) years ago.
The LA Times is owned by the Times Mirror consortium, hardly known as a bastion of liberal thought.
Roughly 1/3 of the newspapers in this nation are owned by the News Corporation, owned by Rupert Murdoc one of Bushs largest contributors...
LOL, If you consider GE and Disney to be liberal I just shudder to know what you may consider rightwing.
In the words of Bluto: "Holy Shit!"
Actually libre is a latin root, not just French.

Man is there any sort of minimum moron level to be a right winger?
