  1. Not Kernel Size, source size!! on Linux 2.2.3 Released · · Score: 1

    The kernel is only as big as the options you compile into it. If you don't want a 12 MB download, get the binary. The larger source is due to the fact that more platforms/features are supported, if you don't need these platform/machines, then get the 1.2 or 2.0 kernel, both of these are pretty stable. Hasn't bandwidth kept up with the kernel size anyway? As for the speed of new modules being updated, try going to the home page of the person who wrote the module, I'm sure you will find that the code is cutting edge. To break up the kernel will only cause more headaches, as you have to figure out what you need and download each one individually.


    You really want to save time and space? Learn how to use /usr/bin/patch.

  3. You mean appearance and not actual reality right? on Batch of LinuxWorld Stories · · Score: 1

    correct, these were social situations where people were drinking, laughing and talking loud. It is possible that I didn't get over the leather pants, which of course says a whole lot more about me than it does about her.

    err, then again I gennerally come of as one who is permenently burnt, which is about as far from the facts as possible, unfortunately.

  5. sexpot? on Batch of LinuxWorld Stories · · Score: 1

    The Net Skink is called a Sexpot (Search for Skink at www.sfgate.com). Every time I have seen Rebecca Eisenberg I have to be reminded that she went to Stanford and Harvard(or Yale) law school, and she decided that practicing law was not spiritually fulfilling, because she often comes of a completely spoiled Long Island daddies girl that drinks too much at parties.

  6. Rhapsody was never killed on Linux Kernel underneath OS X? · · Score: 1

    This post is one of the many that emplies that Rhasody was killed. That just isn't the case, it was expanded, and had a new API added so that apps would become native more quickly. They didn't kill it they said "we are going to give you all we promised before, AND all you have to do to make you applications take advantage of this modern os, is type 'make'".


    this took forever to type, as I started using a Kinesis KB today. errr.




  7. 1701 on More Star Wars Trailer Info · · Score: 1

    "The Federation has gone too far"

    I thought this was "A long time ago". I wonder if they will put "Voyager" in it?

  8. Don't hold your breath... on Russian E2k CPU at 135 SPECint95 / 350 SPECfp95 ??? · · Score: 1

    Actually it said it would be about 5 times faster than intel's merced, which is at least 2 years off.

  9. Clueless people = apilosov on BellAtlantic ADSL absurdity · · Score: 1

    The point is that BA does not get the fact that all you need is a line. Steve Godun is fighting the fight for all of us. If you don't see that, then you are the only clueless one here.

    Although I guess I too am clueless for not clicking the "Preview" button

  11. Carmack's .plan=FUD on Response to John Carmack's Comments About Macs · · Score: 1

    I have a lot of respect for John Carmack, I have been playing his games since Commander Keen, but when I read his .plan on the Mac I was quite angry as it was TOTAL FUD.

    The general vilifiction of Apple in this forum shows what morons you all are. How many people who layed out comments have actually written an Application for the Macintosh? I venture to say maybe one other than me. Apple sponsored a Linux port long Intel gave cash to RedHat.

    What really got to me about Carmack's comments was talking about Apple overstating their processing power. Apple has every right to say what they say. We have all seen the Intel ads where they show mpegs running, OpenGL graphics and the claim thats what you get with a PII. BULLSHIT! All the applications shown required hardware accelleration to get the results shown. Now Intel is claiming the have "the most advanced processor technology". Give me a break, I rarely hear people bitching about Intel overstating their performance. Apple actually showed durring the keynote a couple of realworld examples of better performance. It may not have been twice as fast, but it was faster!

    As for the programming enviroment (not talking about Codewarrior, which after a few more months Carmack will be a Metrowerks spokesman). Had he spent the last 2 years programming Mac Toolbox applications instead of Win32, he probably would have plenty of nasty things to say about Win32. He has already claimed MacOSX to be everything he wants. If he wants to crash less while developing, install "The Debugger" (www.jasik.com) I would guess he would have rebooted about 1/10th of the time he needed to without it.
