It is distressing to see that CodeWarrior and CodeFusion are both targeted at RH and SuSE. Though Cygnus claims that "the current v1.0 Dev Kit will probably work fine on Caldera, Debian, and other releases of Linux," it distresses me to see that major distributions (like Debian, what I consider to be the "reference" distro) are not supported. It can't be that difficult to support the program on the other major distributions, such as Slackware and Debian. If the Linux world becomes balkanized due to software support limitations, that would be an upsetting day. -awc
Does anyone know if the Apple flatscreen cinema display can be used with a PC? Better, does anyone know if it can be used with any of the popular X servers?

I dunno. What if the Indians or the Pakistani knocked out the central banking infrastructure of the other country? Or disrupted central communications? A cyberwar could be quite effective.
I needed to find out how to measure my hat size, and I went to Google, but received no meaningful answers. I decided to give AskJeeves a shot, so I entered "How do I measure my hat size?" into the search engine. It gave me about seven very helpful, useful answers. I was impressed. For the times that Google doesn't work, I plan to go to AskJeeves.com.
After seeing the/. article on how companies can buy their altavista rankings, I have not gone back there. If I'm looking for something that is easily categorized, I'll go to yahoo, but not with much frequency.
It strikes me that, by this figuring, scour.net should be in a whole lot of trouble. That is all they do--link to mp3 files.
And I doubt that they have the legal capital that an outfit like lycos does to fight the bad guys (was I correct in reading that it is the pornographic publishers alliance, or something like that, that was pursuing the Swedish fellow? Sheesh.
7.5.1 was pretty crummy. 7.5.3 was a very stable OS revision. I ran 7.5.3 and then 8.0 on my 8100 for a very long time. They were both very solid releases.
Once again, I'm with Scott on this one: Get over it. We really don't have anything more than token nominal privacy, so does it really matter how much we think we have lost? No.

How good is the latest beta? I haven't been over to my BeOS partition in some time, so I haven't downloaded the browser.
I would imagine that the linux port will look an awful lot like the BeOS one, so we should look closely at that for indications.
What? I can't hear you.
