  1. Re:Comparison to original OS? on VMware vs Virtual PC vs Bochs · · Score: 1


    This isn't modded -1 about 3,000 times because of who posted it.

    Why would you compare MS Office, Word Perfect, and OpenOffice, when you could compare them to a piece of paper and pen!

    By comparing and contrasting them, you can see the pros/cons, decide which one is for you, yadda yadda yadda

  2. Doesn't solve anything.... on The Pros and Cons of Mainframe Linux · · Score: 1, Troll

    It's still Linux, whether you run it on a Celeron or a mainframe.

    You've got the right hardware, but the software still isn't 'mainframe' level.

  3. Kinda like documenting your code on Hacking the Highways · · Score: 1

  9. Re:Being forced into 1600x1200?? on 21.3" LCD Monitor Reviewed · · Score: 1


    He wouldn't have this problem if he had it hooked up to an SGI...

    I bought a couple nice 19" monitors from a dot com that went belly up for $40 each. Beats what you'd pay in just SHIPPING on eBay

    Granted, my monitors say SONY, HITACHI and GSAT on them, instead of having the SGI logo...

    [i]If I had wanted to keep Windows on the machine, I would have had to manually install drivers for both the ethernet and sound card, because Windows did neither on installation.[/i]

    Yeah, recompiling the kernel is SO much easier than checking "Use a driver from specified location"

    Most jobs, your co-workers can't do without you. someone's got to do what YOU do while you are gone. Business doesn't just get put on hold while you're in Disneyland.
