Yeah, I chose to reveal details of my sexual life in my/. JEs, but only because of the anonimity involved. I wouldn't give the address to people I know in the real world.
I was shocked when I first moved to SE Asia. My motherboard blew, and I too it to check to make sure that the CPU hadn't blown, as well, to buy a new one from my friend who had a shop.
They said they'd fix the MB, no problem. About US$13 for the whole deal.
Never seen anyone fix a mainboard before that.
Yeah, you know, I always get nervous when there's an X story on Slashdot, mostly because everyone is talking all this "network transparency stuff is useless" crap, and I think to myself, "What if most apps on X start assuming a local host (some already do)? I'd be screwed. Luckily, I feel that this move makes that less likely. No problem for the info. If I have it, you've got it.
Hey Lumpy! Fellow thin client businessman, here.
Rest at ease. I would've been worried, too, but x.org is working with (under?) freedesktop.org, of which Jim McQuillan is a founding member. Since he makes his living off of thin client consulting and LTSP, I don't think we have to worry.
I actually feel safer than I previously did with the future of XF86.
What's really sad about this is that normally it's not the case. The K12LTSP mailing list is full of members pitching a thin client system to underfunded districts, saying that they can reuse all the machines currently in the school and accept donations from parents, while spending a relatively small sum on a couple of high quality servers.
The overwhelming majority choose to totally upgrade their IT structure on MS's timetable while slashing teaching positions, instead.
The really good news with this is that, because Longhorn is so delayed, XP will actually still be the flagship product when they are forced to comply with the order. That rarely happens in MS cases like this.
My father has been a pilot his whole life. The parties when I was so young that I was peeking down the stairs were unbelievable. Early 70's, you know...
OK, well on for the real stupidity. I recently posted a bunch of chat logs with my GF (we are temporarily in different countries) in my journal. Unfortunately, I had helped her fix a problem with the computer and types the root password in the chat, posted on Slashdot for all to see! Pure idiocy.
I thought that Bill had basically admitted to giving the specs to Compaq, and that the white-room reverse engineer story was really a court room coverup for corporate espionage...
Correction: Dems and Reps both believe in the two party system. The deck is heavily stacked, and agreements were introduced to keep it this way long ago, as any third party candidate (or champion:) will tell you.
The story is gone now, but my JE staring Goy used to have her starring in "A Geek's Dream." In fact, while YMing with her not an hour ago (we're in different countries for another month or so) I referred to the story. She promised me a v.2.0 when we get together again. White spattered across a black "Syslink" T-shirt. Mmmmm.
Open Mosix kernel for the clients and one for the server, and you've got it
People do it all the time, just that most applications don't work well with it. Maybe in the future...

My upgrade just happened five minutes ago. I'm in Korea. Perhaps where your server is located will determine this.
Umm, yeah, that would be greates rate in the world. Preview didn't help.
I just recently moved to Korea, and one of the stats I've heard from the gov't is that greatest rate of per capita wireless availablilty,

Some people don't have their priorities straight.

Sitting at Score:1... Shame
So, then, I take it you work at Oracle? If so, then the mod of off-topic was certainly uncalled for and we request your inside info.

Yeah, kind of like the US supporting Saddam Hussein for a long time, don't you think?
Wash U?
Uh, challenger, idiot. You are sooooo retarded!
Well, just think of Columbia, and you've got a better couterpoint.
"Cash or cameo" would have been a better choice...

Well, this young lady is the subject of a (lost) JE about a Syslink T-shirt. Great memory.
