And I thought the new 48 node cluster at work will soon be able put out some flops... outclassed, outgunned and outperformed. I used to get excited about hearing of other's beowulfs. Now I am only jealous.:)
BTW, if you see a post that says 'Damn...' and nothing else, thats cuz this damn keyboard has this enter key that gets in the way.
Don't fret, there are better places to get news than CNN anyway. Check out goats... You thought I would do it, eh? I'm not a troll like that../ and K5 are all you really need.
Reading an O'Reilly book or doing 'man ' is also a good way to learn about your linux system. I fail to see how compiling every single package from source is supposed to make you more 1337. All I can say is if you have time to compile LFS or Gentoo or anything else for that matter, you simply have too much time on your hands. Please, get a girlfriend, get a job, go to school.
I suppose, since your compiled machine code will be optimized for your 2600+ athlon (definitely a big deal *cough*) and you get that.000000001 ms decrease in start-up time in Gaim, that it must all be worth the effort.
Couldn't you just write a quick perl script to set up a "trash can" by temporarily moving your files to a "trash" folder? Then, make a switch for the perl script that will "take out the trash" when you want it to. I don't see what the big deal is about having to write a full library for it nor why this is utterly important. If you want a trash can, write a perl script to do it. If you don't, then leave rm the way it is.
Remember, perl can do everything.

I think it's a little too redundant to carry on this argument on hacker/cracker. The meanings of many words have always changed over time due to popular enterpretation. You may view yourself as a hacker, a coder who is out there for the knowledge, but if you state that to your average joe, he is gonna automatically assume that you are a malicious, FBI-db busting, NASA cracking, grade-changing feind. We can argue this all that we want, but as long as popular belief holds that hackers are evil people who compromise systems for their own personal gain, well, then that's what the word hacker means. (unfortunately).
I have always felt that G was unfairly left out of Hexadecimal as it was with the grading system and everything else. Give G a chance!!! It actually means I have 1D operating systems named, but we wont mention anything.
I don't really consider multiple versions of windows or dos, separate OSs. Thats not very impressive.

So, I got 1C Operating Systems listed, but it's still not too bad. I really don't believe the post anyway. Its not impressive to have 50 different versions of windows, linux, and BSD installed on an intel computer. It only means that the dude has a lot of time on his hands.
Im sure the souls of the victims have better things to do, like play harps or eat grapes with 72 young virgins, than watch in horror as we enjoy the first episode of the season of Enterprise.

Um, i ran (now runs linux) Windoze XP and office XP on a PII 300 laptop w/ 192Mb of RAM and both ran reasonably well. Of course, that was with all of those schnazy settings turned of (except ClearType).
You got the wrong ship: its reliant. Grissom was the pathetic science vessel that two phaser shots from a klingon bird of prey anihilated in star trek three, spreading miles of debris in the upper atmosphere of the test-tube planet Genesis. My personal belief is that Khan was a a better Trek because Roddenbery finally introduced someone intelligent enough to deflate kirk's overwhelming ego that is usually splattered all over the screen.
Never before had we seen a starship get hit with their shields down!
Not only that, but what about the incredible phaser damage that was introduced to star trek during that movie? I though that it looked really fsckin' cool.
This is all very interesting, the fact that linux may have a tad more market share in the desktop area that even macintosh, but the question still remains: with this new market share, where is the equivalent software and vendor support? Sure, there are thousands of great GPLed apps out there like the Gimp but since we *supposedly* have more market share, where's our copy of Photoshop? How about AOL for linux (not that I really care about such a thing)? Microsoft Office for linux? (Please don't mention wine as it is not a vendor supported piece of software)
I could be wrong however. I can speculate that since some GPL apps are of such high quality (OpenOffice, Gimp, for example), that perhaps some people have overlooked the need for comercial apps like Photoshop. If this is so, developers: keep up the good work. If I am wrong, then its high time that our commercial vendors start getting on the ball and writing apps that linux users can use since our "market share" says that we are worthy of such support.
Not to be an ass, but I would like to know why people choose to run BSD when there are more apps and better driver support under linux? Yes, I know that you can run most linux apps flawlessly under emulation, but can you cite one good reason why you run BSD on your DESKTOP computer when Linux is available? BSD makes an excellent server OS, but the only reason I can see to run BSD on my desktop workstation is simply for additional elitism. It doesn't do anything that linux doesn't already do.
Please know that I am not bashing BSD. I think its a great OS. I simply want to know why people run it as opposed to linux on their desktop PC when linux has far greater support for new apps and hardware.
Yeah, that'll be the day that slash is re-done in ASP.NET, which will be the day AFTER LNUX is bought by M$. If you can tell me what day that will be, i'll give you a cookie.

The olny thing that Windows Phoenix seems to be lacking from Mozilla (as far as I can tell) is a quick-launch option
This is probably because Phoenix was designed to be small and light-weight, thus eliminating the need for a "quick-launch" option. Think about it.

Pretty impressive considering the show starts before the theme song. Sorry, but it had to be said.

It would be nice if it did include the episode, for us young-uns that have yet to see where khan is from.
Being an american, I am truly sick of hearing about 9/11. CNN 9/11, Foxnews 9/11, BBC 9/11, HBO 9/11 .... aahh!!!! I get the fscking point.
