  1. Re:Inquiring minds want to know on Dancing With A Smart Robot · · Score: 1

    It's interesting though, you know the words to "Warattepon" (aka "Shorty and the Easy Mouse") ? There's an obvious reference to "binge and purge" (i.e. bulimic tendency) in the song (in essence "I'm full, I'm going to the bathroom").

    My Linux comes with Privoxy, I think (RH8).

    Across the bridge from me is a theme park called MarineLand. Their slogan is "Everyone loves MarineLand". I always said "How the hell do you know that? You can't possibly make a blanket statement like that and be telling the truth. How do you know if I (subset of "Everyone") love MarineLand if I've never been there?"

    Just a question for the ueber-geeks here, is there a way in Linux I can point some of these sites - everyone.net, doubleclick, etc., to some dummy page? I hear that there is from the various slashbots here but I don't know how to do it (I'm a n00b to Linux but have used Losedoze for 10 years).

    Maybe you're right, but know that ad hominem attacks aren't a good thing, and that does have a hint of ad hominem.

    BTW, if they run this emulator on the PPC Amiga/Pegasos/etc., does it use a clean BIOS, or a dupe of the Mac ROM?

  17. Re:Nice! on Cheap PPC Linux Machines From IBM · · Score: 1

    So maybe Mac-On-Lin is the Plex86 of the PPC world, but from what I read, it still needed to be run *on a Macintosh* because it used the ROM code. I.E., its only use is to run OS X on top of Linux on a Mac. I don't think it would work on these boxen.

    Besides, the license is going to hit you in the colon if you do that.

    I may be wrong.

  18. Re:Nice! on Cheap PPC Linux Machines From IBM · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Okay, last time IBM redefined the PC, they fscked up royally. But maybe this time they can successfully redefine what it means to be IBM-compatible, with a machine that rivals the Macintosh, aimed at the Linux PC market.

    If these machines can be coaxed into running Darwin, maybe there will be some limited amount of binary compatibility with OS X - and people could run programs on both boxes. Compatibility is a good thing, but who says IBM has to be PC-compatible? Besides, these days the Apples are more IBM than your average PC.

    I say this can only be a Good Thing.

    RMS merely wants credit where credit is due; his point that people will think Torvalds and Co. invented the userland is well taken.
