  2. Re:Info on the kit from a user. on BlackRhino Linux Now Available for PlayStation 2 · · Score: 1

    I like the mac os option the only thing is I already have computer and I'm not trying to replace it. I already have a ps2. I already have a monitor. Really the parts of the linux kit I personally was interested in was the hd and the network adapter. Matching keyboard and mouse is just kinda stylish. Linux on it was just a cool addition I was willing to pay for. Linux on the ps2 in my experience was slow and gnome was very unstable. I didn't even come with a web browser at the time. All in all it no pc replacement. -Cho

  3. Info on the kit from a user. on BlackRhino Linux Now Available for PlayStation 2 · · Score: 5, Informative

    The kit is 200.00 usd. What you get. Black usb keyboard, and mouse that say ps2 on it, a 40gb hd, ethernet adapter (ethernet only not ethernet/modem combo). I recently playtested the everquest online game and used the keyboard instead of the game controller to comunicate. I could have used any usb keyboard really. I used the network adaptor that came with the linux kit instead of buying one. So almost all the items you get from the kit can be used in your normal gaming. I'm using the kits ethernet adapter to play SOCOM, atv rage 2, and all of sony's other online stuff. Also the only thing that stops you from using the hd as a hd for your other games is you don't have any utility to partion it and format it. If you friend bought the hd kit and loans you his setup cd your in business. You don't need all 40gb to run linux anyway. So all in all I could have bought the parts seperatly and saved some 50 dollars but wouldn't have been able to play with linux on my ps2. Just cool to play around with. All these add-ons I want for my ps2 plus it runs linux. FYI the additional 8mb memory card is basically the holder for your lilo install. Check out the forums in the /. artical and read all about it. TONS of info there. -Cho

    This reads just like The Catcher in the Rye. If you enjoyed this jacked-up post that is funny and tragic at the same time, check out the book. Salinger is the author for those who don't know.

    I'd like to see a breakdown somewhere on Microsoft's lobbying efforts abroad vs. the amount of effort$ they put in swaying political opinion here.

  7. Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1

    I got hooked by cowboy bebop in a big way. A buddy owned all the DVD's and I started watching the series. Something like 7 DVD's with 5 episodes each or so. For those that don't know there is also a Cowboy Bebop movie out there called Cowboy Bebop - Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Movie). I still haven't tracked it down but its on my list of things to do. The offical movie site is http://www.cowboybebop.com/english/door I found a review at http://www.c1anime.com/series/cbmovie.php

  8. Re:Easy to do (If you've got lots of money) on Build Your Own PowerPC? · · Score: 1

    Just to be pedantic, the chip used in the Cyclades and other places that's called "dual-core" or whatever isn't really SMP on a chip. The two processors are different, one is supposed to be for I/O handling essentially, I believe.

  9. upward compatability work around? on 10 Reasons We Need Java 3 · · Score: 1

    In the last 2 developement environments I've worked at we've always kept several version's of java on each system. When a new version was released we added that to the system leaving the old version also so that developers could put either version in their path. So if this theoretical version 3 was released why can't maintainer's keep an old version in place as well?

  10. Rebel Blockade Runner on Ebay on Build Your Own Battlemech · · Score: 2, Funny

    Boy this is the best thing that could have possibly happened to the Ebay auction of The Rebel Blockade Runner. Its funny as hell watching the counter go up on his ebay add. Thousands of geeks browsing through his ebay and... he just might have a Rebel's chance at selling it!

  11. Geez same old problem on iPod for Windows (again) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Will apple never learn? In my opionion apple has always been great innovators but they seem to alway limit their product to their market share. Today with such a low market share it seem pretty obvious that their products should be more compatable with the rest of the world. Mac, Windows, Linux.... who cares everyone likes music. Make a great player that does not discriminate by OS and watch the money roll in!

  14. school vs. work experience on System Administrators - College or Career? · · Score: 1

    I went to college and it helped me out a lot. But in no way in the traditional way. I got a job in the lab and gained a little experience. I was recruited from the lab out into the work force. Fortunately my second job was working for an isp where I learned all sort of trouble shooting skills. Around this time I dropped out of school with 63 hours and no degree. I was hired to be a UNIX administrator at a large corporation but ended up working as a wide area network engineer till a UNIX position was created for me. Finally in a roll as an UNIX administrator but with a huge amount of experience in all sorts of networked environments I feel and my job history shows I have no problem competing. A big bonus is that every company I have ever worked for has been 100% willing to send me back to school and pay anywhere from 80% to 100% of the tuition. If your lucky and can afford college then maybe you should go. If you come from a family in which you need to pay your own way like I did then the loss of revenue for 4 years plus the 60k in student loans you "graduate" with may not be worth it. It sounds like you have some opportunities already. Your already one step ahead of me... I thought I wanted to be an English major.

  15. Re:So? on California + Oracle = $95 Million Fiasco · · Score: 1

    270,000 copies of Red Hat or any OS would make more sense than buying an entire database license per state employee. The analogy is an execellent one that points out that the purchaser's of the contract (the state of california) obviously didn't understand what they were buying. Its a complete waste of taxpayers money that could be better used to better the lives of people in the state.
