    Does anyone know where to get the nightly builds with AA fonts support compiled in? For Redhat 9. It would take 50 years for my system to compile from source.

    I remember in high school, we used Turbo Pascal for programming. It was great environment to program small stuff in. It was great for teaching purposes. c is ok, but c++ is way to complicated for students first look at logic programming. Does anyone remember the windows.pas library? It was a really nice interface for having windows in your applications. Simple was the key back then. Now, it's 1gig of ram for the "hello world" program. 8*(

    Tube sound is different than solid state sound. I have a old Dynaco ST 70. Blow the shit out of anything solid state. If you do not believe me. Check out the newsgroup rec.audio.tubes. Also, tube amps just report the distortion figures correctly. Not like the Future Shop garbage of today.

  10. It's SAD is it not? on Disclosure of Major Software Exploits by Students? · · Score: 1

    It's getting very sad. People can not identify a problem and bring it out in the open. People are scare shitless to speak of any problem for fear of being destroyed. Why can't people just come forth and tell the party involved that they have discovered a problem with the software. This guy knows about a problem, yet most likely will not tell anyone. The problem will exist forever. This is why the world does not better itself. Problems only exist because they are fostered and promoted. This is another example of FEAR. Sad... Very Sad....

  11. Garmin make great products on Garmin iQue 3600 · · Score: 1

    I would have to agree with the statement that Garmin make the best GPS units. I purchased one about 6 years ago. It was the Garmin gps 35 http://www.garmin.com/products/gps35/ I installed a desktop computer in the trunk of my vehicle running off a power inverter. Touch screen lcd. It's mint. For the Canadian Map, I use Microsoft Streets and Trips 2003. I'm sure that the Garmin iQue 3600 will be a great product to professional people on the run. But I would rather have a full setup in my vehilce than something which is limit by it's portability. It nice to see technology moving forward. 8-5 years ago, people laughed at me when I was trying to have full size computer in my vehicle. Now I laugh at them. I have sent Garmin a thank you letter. After the number of hours which I have used the GPS35. I have never had a problem. Not one. It's been sitting on my dash in full sunlight forever. It retains the backup informaion of satellite locations without failure. Fuck'n quality that you do not see anymore. Thank you Garmin.

Mame v.62 Doom Shareware virtual keyboard with speech. For keyboard input. Great software. Voice notification for maps and gps. Putting the system together was some time. Not a lot, but the system is a full Windows system. It blows the shit out of anything on the market. It nice to connect to my mp3 server in my house. I download new mp3's or backup some mp3 which I ripped from the car. I can also connect to my main system which runs Linux and the apache server. Backup data and anything else. The environment: The system has been installed in my car for two years. Previous laptop was installed for 5 years. NOT ONE FAILURE. I can not believe it. Nothing has gone wrong. I live in Canada, so I can expect the temperature range of -30oc to +35oc. I would of thought that the dew would get to the componets. Nope, no problem. I also have the power to change anything I like. Other commericial systems you are locked into their operating system and software. With a regular computer. You have the freedom to do anything you want. The hardest thing, is the LCD display. It's also the most costly. If you look on ebay, you can find something cheap. I paid $200US for mine. You can put together some really cheap......

    Everyone is talking about IT positions. The real story will be the full time positions that are offered in the workforce. Just about all of the full time positions will be part-time related with no benifits. Companies just want to hire someone to complete a task and pay them. Forget about anything elese. Guess what.... The wages will also decline to a point of low wage earners. Gen-X's are going to get really screwed. It's really based on the amount of activity in the market place. Which at this point of time, based on previous history. Is at an all time low. When is the last time anyone has seen a nation wide project? I'm not counting the War in Iraq.
