people have been touching those stones for thousands of years, why should we stop now?
At the risk of sounding like a pretentious hippy, theres nothing I like doing better than hugging one of the stones when I'm at Avebury - you can see all the tiny little nooks and crannies, some of which have random crystals etc in.
Stonehenge *IS* a tourist trap, theres nothing there but the stones and a gift shop. Avebury on the other hand has a quaint little biker pub, the biggest henge in the world, which imho is more impressive than the stones at stonehenge.
Yes I've been to both repeatedly - the best time to go to stonehenge is overnight at one of the solstices, when you CAN get up to the stones - with all drums,chanting,bongos etc it feel like your thousands of years ago.
I was at avebury last weekend for my birthday - the kids love it, rolling down the henge, playing on the stones etc. Far more enjoyable than the "stand at a distance and look" experience at stonehenge.
The henge at stonehenge is just a dip in the ground - the henge at avebury is massive, and far more impressive than the remains of the stone cirles there.
Anyway, enough ranting:) - if you get the chance go back to both as an adult, take your family to Avebury on a sunny day, its a good (and cheap) afternoon out
I work for a hosting company, and I had someone call up last night with a site that a customer of ours hosts that was a Barclays (UK-based) Bank phishing site - we take these seriously enough and the site should be down soon (hopefully)
They may not get all the users back but I shall probably go back to sid when X.org FINALLY gets added.
Ubuntu's nice and all, but I've always felt it to be on the slow side compared to Debian or Gentoo, its also owned/controlled to a certain extent by Canonical
Gentoo's been fun to run for a while, but compiling everything from source, and keeping it all updated is such a hassle. When I do eventually go back to Debian, I might have to play with apt-build to apply a few of the optimisation tricks I've learnt from Gentoo
Maybe (s)he should have clarified a little...
had MS ever successfully supported a desktop/workstation OS on a non-x86 architecture for any real length of time?
Is the answer still yes?
I want to see GNOME and KDE using nifty hardware accelerated effects. Real transparency built into the terminal and an Expose clone. Then distros can start worrying about packaging X.org.
The Expose clone is skippy or expocity, and I presume, given time (and coders) X.org will have real transparencies, as a default (and stable) option.
Seeing as skippy is NETWM compliant, also it is fairly safe to presume it too will also get real transparencies at some point
(On that note, I have a 7200 RPM external disk. Is there any way I can get WinXP to use it for at least some swap, or put a disk cache over there, or do SOMETHING?)
you should be able to, iirc, its been a while since i did this, but in (i think) the system properties, you can set pagefile usage, meaning you can turn it off from c:\ and activate it on a different drive. A little googling should tell you exactly which of the millions of dialogs/preferences windows that there are in Windows, is the one to change the pagefile usage
It's yet another of the little annoying things about Windows that not many people seem to know about, yet is easy to carry out when you know how to do it...

I was wondering how long it would be before the NGE references crept in :o)

its bazaar, not bizarre
After I clicked submit I did..... Guess I need to go back to sleep ;-)
You mean like this or this possibly?
I find it quite impressive to be able to watch a film from the 1930s that is based on a late 20th century video game ;-)
Or get your own domain, and point that at gmail ;-)
google.com/a
Have you seen these cases? HSPC Tech Station computer workbench
to take google's first link as an example /sos to boot.ini, like this:o ft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect /sos
add
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Micros
The title will be different I guess, but it works on nt upwards, and gives you an almost win98ish bootup

Took me a while to figure out you meant dimensions - I thought you were talking about some bastardisation of Intel and Motorola processors... ;-)
Yes and no... Theyre not OS free, but TerraSoft are authorised Apple resellers that will sell you YellowDog Linux or OSX (or both) on your mac
Ahem, I think they missed a letter out of my name...
"specifically the Puggs project."
Just had to clear that one up
Probably not, but if you run gentoo, seeing compiles scroll by is generally a thing of beauty ;)

i know patents != copyrights, but some of the letters on thepiratebay are about as close as you can get to fuck off...

afaik, the shortcuts on the desktop, quick launch & start menu, nothing else, especially not iexplore.exe
You can use all your mp3's from the other services too, but the iTMS does Just Work...
sorry, that was a terrible joke - its 5am.... *Clicks Submit anyway*
hoary_0.9.90b1-powerpc.iso runs ok on my g4 pb, but at 640x480 instead of the native 1024x768
Its by far the best live linux ppc cd I've tried (which are most (if not all) of them)
