Linux doesn't crash. It can't; it's simply not possible... Slashdot told me so. They said that Linux crashing would defy the laws of physics, or something.
Just the other night I was trying to program during a thunderstorm. My pc was reset by powerspikes at least ten times (no I do not learn), and ever time my pc came right back up without having to scan the entire partition.
Next time, I suggest standing outside with a golf club outstretched to the sky.
Of course you forgot that you can still run into that retarded "out of inodes" problem in ext3... that's why you keep large data stores on NTFS or some large Sun volume:)
Plus NTFS just recovers from the journal instantly and you're set. Hit the power switch? Not good, but no problem either.
Seriously, which do you rather want?

USAToday.com got defaced with anti-Bush and anti-Christianity messages according to the Drudge Report.

Hello Slashdot! Yes, the bandwidth is horrific, so I've shrunk all the images to a much smaller size (160 wide) instead of their usual 640 and 320. If you want to see this and actually make out the pictures (and read the text in them), come back in a week or so when the traffic has dropped and I've put the full-res ones back. Assuming I don't get firewalled off first:)
Anyway, have a read and a laugh at some geekiness.
Umm... something smells fishy around here, and it's not his wife!
I like to sing along to Scarface's "No Tears" on my drive to work a la Michael Bolton...
I've got my pistol point cocked Ready to lay shots nonstop until I see your monkey ass drop And let your homies know who done it Cause when it comes to this gangsta shit you motherfuckers know who run it So when you put this motherfucker to the test You gotta realize somethin' nigga: you fuckin' with the very best
I got this killa up inside of me I can't talk to my mother so I talk to my diary I'm goin' off on the deep end I found myself face to face with myself while I'm sleepin'
Oops! Wrong link. The parent link is true reverse play. This is reverse play in the forward direction. While I'm at it... let me clarify: it inverts what you _just played_ for x secs, but still counting the time forwards; when you trigger it again, it starts playing where the counter currently is.
For about $1500 USD you can get a Denon DN-D9000, forget about all your worries about your computer not booting, etc, hard drive crash, you name it --- and, do some cool tricks, too! (What's in the video? It can play a song in reverse --- you say vinyl can do that too? But not in the forward direction! It inverts the sound (i.e., take a sample and flip it over itself) so you can easily remove curse words when playing to easily-offended crowds. Yep, reverse in the forward direction. Confused? Good.)
Umm... it's been possible for years... it's done in buffer.
Not only does the CDJ-1000 do it (like the previous poster mentioned)... the Pioneer CMX-3000 does it, along with the Denon DN-2100F, DN-2600F, DN-D9000, the American DJ PRO Scratch 1 and CMX, along with the Numark CDN-88 and Axis 8. IMHO, only Pioneer and Denon make rock-solid products, but I know I must be leaving some out!
That's the insightful comment I've read all day. All EEs should start submitting their projects to Slashdot! Tomorrow on Slashdot: John Doe creates a blinking LED, story at 11!
American DJ has had a comparible product for a while--it uses an actual turntable... but if you're going to do anything remotely serious... nothing beats a Pioneer CDJ-1000! Sure, it doesn't actually rotate, and whiners can complain all they want, but you get superior control. This thing can even wash the dishes with a simple mod!
Okay, to be completely honest, I didn't set up that server. Nor did I have the authority to do a complete reinstall (that server, I think, was hosed from the first install. And to think it was forcefully upgraded to NW 5.1 with me bitching and screaming in the background!)
Anyway, to rid myself of this mess, I tried Apache + Tomcat to run the GW WebAccess, hoping for good-ole open source stability. This was back in the day, mind you. I had it _almost_ working. Apache was worse though... especially using mod_userdir! Wow that was fun. It worked while you were in the server room; 20 minutes later, it locks the server cold... hadda hit the power switch.
Perhaps if we had a competitent NetWare admin, not an old fogey left back from the NW 3.x days. (My job was do run our web site --- it was a school; all I had to do was keep IIS running smoothly, which surprisingly, it did.)
But NDS + ZenWorks does wonders for administration. Unfortunately, it took them like 4 years to get dynamic NT authentication right!
Despite your stating an opinion as fact, vi is an excellent editor, and despite your unsubstantiated claims, the basic commands used within have barely changed since the original vi. Sure, some have been added, but you can use the old commands without the new ones. Vi is an editor for people who understand that they need to EDIT some TEXT, and not modify the point size of a title and choose a nifty looking font.
I could drive my car with my feet, but that doesn't make it a good fucking idea. NEdit is the closest decent editor on Unix that I have found.
People want ease and simplicity. This is the same reason jet planes are fly-by-wire now, not the old-fasioned way.
Netscape Enterprise on Novell is absolute shit. It crashed twice a day. No kidding. It even liked to freeze the server console occasionally. Alt-Shift-Shift-Esc comes to mind.
Anyway, that server sits in a corner and runs GW WebAccess now. IIS took its place, never crashed.
Oh really? I installed Linux/ [KDE/Gnome/IceWM] on a Pentium 200 with 32 MB of memory. It ran like complete shit. Back to NT it went.
NT 4 will actually run on a 486/66. I know someone who runs a website (low volume, but it gets some) on IIS on a 486. No kidding. According to MSFT, min reqs are 16 MB memory on a Pentium.

I guess this wasn't as important 18 hours ago? Ahh well, that's Slashdot journalism for you... it must have been a slow news day today. Or maybe they're just gay. I suppose it's who's at the controls at that particular time --- oh wait, it WAS timothy!

What are you talking about, "not stable"...?

I would have loved to have gotten a chance to play with it before they bolted win32 on top of it.
And I want Linux without GNU.
I'm glad I spent my money on those "Enlarge Your Penis!" emails that I receive in my hotmail account than on 40 GB of RAM.

He was talking about the amount of memory it takes up!
C:\WINNT\system32>dir cmd.exe
Volume in drive C is LCMETA04
Volume Serial Number is 70D4-93A9
Directory of C:\WINNT\system32
08/23/2001 07:00 AM 375,808 cmd.exe
1 File(s) 375,808 bytes
0 Dir(s) 66,466,057,728 bytes free
I think the point he's trying to make is we should pay someone $2500 to write hammer.sh, and ship it.
Shh! You might be persecuted for telling the truth!
It's actually on the W2k CD, IIRC.
Okay, bad example, but it's true with separate executables, too. They seem to run faster under cmd than under bash.
